There are there are many great charities out there, and a good deal of them trust Bux-Mont Awards to be their recognition services provider .  There are two we would like to highlight in this post. First, we are once again proud to be a part of the annual Pennridge Chamber of Commerce Toy Drive.  This Toy Drive benefits the Pennridge FISH food bank organization.  They actually set up a toy store for the holidays and allow parents in need to come in and choose toys and gifts so their kids can have a great holiday.  It is truly a wonderful thing to be a part of, and Bux-Mont Awards is offering coupons to whomever brings a toy in. The other isn't a charity as much as a great non profit whose purpose is to honor those Marines who served in Vietnam and also those who gave their lives for our freedom. We are involved in the production of a Marines Monument that is being erected in Quantico Virginia.  They are continuing to raise funds and you can stop by Bux-Mont Awards to support

Charities are some of our best customers.  Many of the charities and non-profits understand, for whatever reason, that proper recognition is beneficial to the bottom line.  Maybe its the volunteer nature, maybe its because of the many good and worthwhile causes that these charities are supporting.  And whatever the reason, they use recognition awards , plaques and gifts to show their appreciation for many things.  Volunteering time, donating money, hosting a fundraiser, selling tickets, educating the public, all these things we help recognize and are very proud of it. What is special to you?  What are you doing to recognize the efforts of those helping you help others?  What motivates you to help?  Please share your thoughts and stories in the comments. Contact us  at Bux-Mont Awards if you want to learn more about how properly recognizing achievements can help your non profit or charity to succeed!

As the holidays rapidly approach, we just wanted to remind our customers to come visit our town on the first Tuesday in December for the annual Winterfest celebration and tree lighting. The festivities start at 6:30 and include not only Bux-Mont Awards but also the Sellersville museum and tree lighting across from the fire house.  Santa will also be seeing kids at the fire house as well as local businesses staying open late with different offerings. A personal favorite was the jazz music and the fire at the new Modern Male Barbershop in the odd fellows building pictured above in addition to the free showing of It's a Wonderful Life at the Sellersville Theater. With a couple new businesses in town it should be a good year!

You have to see this thing to appreciate how big it really is.  I will take some pictures with us next to it and post it in a future picture.  This enduro racing series wanted a REALLY big trophy for their overall team points winner, and this is what we came up with.  It turned out really good - its a bear to handle and you are going to need a small truck to take it home.  This is in addition to all the other really big (but not quite that big) trophies they are doing.   Soccer Season continued: Here is a sneak peak of the trophies being given away at this years SISL'r Slam tournament.  We are thankful to the SIS'L organization for their continued commitment to properly recognizing their childrens achievements with trophies and recognition items from Bux-Mont Awards.  While we are running out of room in our new digs, we are happy to store them for all 700 of them for a day or two before sending them off into the wild! Notice how this one trophy is bigger than three boxes w

You know soccer season is in full swing when the materials start arriving by the truckload at Bux-Mont Awards.  The month of November has brought a good amount of activity, and I like to think our industry is a leading indicator of economic activity! While we have had to adjust to the unfortunate loss of one of the part time people here, who took a job in her field of study.  We are happy to say she found employment at a bakery in Doylestown and seems to be doing quite well.  This has led to a shortage of production labor which isn't being felt one bit thanks to the hard work and additional hours put in by Brian, our other part time employee.  Brian, Debbie, and Dan along with the owner Greg Bencsik comprise the entire Bux-Mont Awards team.  We work together to ensure that the area has access to a number of quality recognition products in one location. That said we are also getting ready for the holidays, with a recent shipment of glassware coming in that we will be highlighti

If you are thinking of using totebags in the next promotion for your business, contact us for a quote.  We offer free virtual proofs (on acceptable artwork), and are very competitive on price without compromising quality. Though its sometimes hard to get the color everyone wants, my supplier offers alternatives so that we can satisfy your demand. Free Virtual proof: We all know that the grocery stores have them.  Tell us your creative uses for your custom imprinted totes in the comments.  Do you offer a discount for using these?  I personally think a discount or some sort of promotion and/or contest held in conjunction with these could be a real success.   Reward your customers for snapping photos of their bags in use in different places and you have a free walking billboard for the life of the bag.  Multiply that by how many bags you can get out there and it is a easy and cost effective way to get your name out to thousands of potential customers.
