Happy Holidays and a Heartfelt Thanks

2011 was a milestone year for us.  We celebrated our 21st year in business. We saw our growth rate jump at its highest level in our history with the first full year of the Gerharts Engraving acquisition under our belt.  We had a banner year for trophy production with Oaklane Quarter Midget Racing Club hosting the Quarter Midget Racing Association nationals race.

This year was not without its challenges however.  We worked to improve each and every day and to continue to provide you with the absolute best engraving and recognition services in the area.  The breadth of our services expanded, but that was met with the logistical challenge that comes with having a decentralized manufacting set up in two geographic locations.

Thanks to you our customers, and the wonderful employees that enable us to help serve you, here we are looking into 2012 with high hopes!  We are eternally grateful for all of you that enable us to be in the position we are in.

The recognition industry is a unique and wonderful business to be in.  While the financial returns aren't always optimal, and the great recession affected even us where the previous recessions did not, we are in a business that is forever rewarding to run and be a part of.  The stakeholders involved in this business are all high quality amazing individuals who get the importance of recognizing achievements.  To see the people who come in to order awards for other individuals who so selflessly give their all everyday to a variety of tasks in their daily lives is simply amazing and inspiring.

We help recognize the achievements of those who save lives, and those who sacrifice their time and energies not for profit but to leave this world a little better place than it was when they got here.  To see them put in all their hard work and dedication is really the most rewarding part of this job and it makes waking up and coming to work each and every day a pure joy.  Thank you to those of you who have enabled us to help serve you, and we look forward to helping you recognize achievements in the future.

Bux-Mont Awards would not be here with out the many individuals who do so much to change the lives of so many people, and the hard work our employees put in to make sure that the hard work does not go unrecognized.  We love what we do, and we look forward to doing it for the next twenty years and beyond!

Have the happiest holidays and the brightest new years.  We are looking forward to seeing you all, and a heartfelt thank you to each and everyone of you that helped make Bux-Mont Awards what it is today.  The leading provider of recognition services in Bucks and Montgomery County!

November means...

I know, I know, I don't want to think about the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday let alone Christmas. With these tumultuous times we are dealing with and the massive amount of change being undertaken, let's show this world that we can let the Phillies pick us up. Please visit our Sellersville store to see the World Champion Phillies Ornaments on display and for sale. These commemorative ornaments include pictures taken at the Game 5 World Series Clincher against the Ray and those Phillies. There is no better tree ornament this holiday season.

Univest Grand Prix

The Univest Grand Prix is being held today. We are happy to say the awards they got were provided by us. This is the first race that we got to be a part of, and it really is an amazing show. I am watching the webstream provided by wfmz69 , and I hear that cycling.tv is going to be streaming the end of the race. There are over 22 reacing teams and 200 riders in this 107 mile race. The announcers do a great job and they really make it easy to understand and follow the sport of cycling. And then we get to watch tomorrows show in Doylestown as well! They talk about dynamics and I have seen a couple crashes, and they just went through Green Lane Park past the Scottish Irish Festival. A really neat way to be a part of the community. And they do it mostly with volunteers. Amazing, and the video is really spectacular. Much thanks to Univest and all the sponsors for providing such a great community event that we can all be proud of.

Always learning

While some were consolidating to maintain their bottom lines and stay afloat in the recent tumultuous economic conditions we tried investing.  And while we didn't have much money to invest, our bank (with the gracious help of the Small Business Administration), thought enough of our business and our goals to fund an acquisition of a retiring engravers business in Lansdale. At the same time we are investing in knowledge.  We joined a promotional products trade association that enables us to receive discounts on many promotional products which is savings we are passing along to you.  They have webinars, online sales tools and much more available to those interested in using promotional products. We also have our web promotional products search engine at www.promopros.com   and will be offering tips for creative uses of promotional products here on this blog. Leave your creative uses for promotional products in the comments.
