So we had the honor of being the sales people for a Marines Monument being built near Pittsburgh Pennsylvania that is almost complete and will be heading down to its permanent home outside the Marines Museum in Quantico Virginia.  They are still looking for donors for the project so if anyones wants to donate please contact someone at Bux-Mont Awards and we will guide you in the right direction.  There is a postor hanging in our Sellersville store with the plans for the monument and I will post some pictures here. 

We have been getting the orders for new employee of the month perpetual plaques and want to take this post to remind you if you have forgotten to stop by our Sellersville or Lansdale store to place your orders. You can also visit our website to view the perpetual plaque selection and order via our online form or email.   

We are working on updating the showroom, and after some paint and slatwall have it looking somewhat respectable. The sign should be installed this week, so keep an eye out for that.  I'm trying to get some pictures up soon. Oh and did anyone see the new Gerharts.com ? The trophy and awards scene is changing in Lansdale rather quickly.  Services are being expanded, and we are fervently working to get the additional products we offer out on the shelves. Doing this while helping customers, learning machines, and maintaining a fully functioning store with only one other full time person and a part timer is a challenge, but we take solace in knowing when its done you will be pretty pleased with the results.  

This post is being written from our new location in Lansdale, and while I am writing this I am realizing there has never been a post on the subject. We are pleased to announce that what was formerly Gerharts Engraving in Lansdale has been acquired by Bux-Mont Awards and Engraving Services of Sellersville.  With the previous owner ready to retire, we were approached about a purchase of the business almost two years ago.  After a long arduous process, the sale was completed last Wednesday, December 15, and we have been here since. There are some immediate improvements to the showroom and signage taking place in the coming weeks as well as back end infrastructure improvements that are being put in place in order to make the store in Lansdale more efficient and to better serve you. This strategic move was made because, as Bux-Mont Awards we felt it was in the best interest to have storefronts in both the Bucks and Montgomery Counties. We look forward to serving the Lansd...

Bux-Mont Awards has successfully completed the acquisition of Gerharts engraving in Lansdale.  In the coming weeks we will be sprucing up the front with a new sign, investing in updating the processes, and working on things to better serve our Montgomery County customers.  The purchase was made not only to be able to offer Bux-Mont Awards existing Montgomery County customers a more convenient location to get their awards, but also to increase our reach in both services offered as well as getting quality recognition products to more of you! We will be offering the same great service, as the business already had two great employees that we are retaining and upgrading the showroom to include the additional products you have come to expect from Bux-Mont Awards. Your needs are our priority, and we are looking forward to meeting them!

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-Mon...

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!
