Skip the Mall, We engrave it all

We can engrave stuff that wasn't purchased here (most of the time.) A lot of people are surprised to learn that we engrave stuff. Like our name isn't Bux-Mont Awards & Engraving Services or we are just a trophy shop. Thankfully we have a network of jewelers referring customers to us. Long time ago, the jewelers used to do their own engraving, but then it got to be too expensive and since we opened most have been referring peoples engraving needs to us. Most local trophy shops have the ability to do this. We offer a lot of the same products as a typical mall engraving store, but we do it at a more affordable cost with higher quality. The quality is higher because we take care of our machines and take our time. The more affordable cost comes from not having to pay high mall rents. Some other products we offer you probably didn't know we have include but are not limited to the following: Wedding Gifts Wedding Invitations Engraved Wine & Champagne glasses (also f

Local Sports News Coverage

Is it just me or is more attention being paid to local sports coverage in the papers. I heard on the news the other day that ESPN is going to start focusing on increasing it's local coverage with new channels to compete with comcast sportsnet among others. I wonder if local high school sports is where the newspapers are going to find their new niche to call home while figuring out how to make money on the web. There are two good sites covering local news in this area: phillyburbs Bucks Mont sports now site and Rally : The Daily News & Inquirers online offerings. Both are good, but neither of them have won awards made by Bux-Mont Award s so how good could they be right? But they have some great writers and coverage of the local sports today.

Recognition programs for companies big and small

My wife and I were talking the other day about an employee that recently gave her two weeks, and I was saying how they needed an employee recognition program to help them retain their employees . She responded that being in a small dental office, they would just keep giving the same person an employee of the month plaque over and over. That got me thinking a lot about small business and what they do to recognize achievements and how it is a very underdeveloped part of our business. Some small businesses get it, but a lot don't realize that there is more to recognition incentive programs than employee of the month plaques. Even if you were to recognize someone monthly, you can easily create a plaque or recognition piece that sits in a prominent location in the office highlighting the persons achievements. Contests could be held between employees that would reward them for exemplary service or commitment to employee loyalty and this could be in the form of gift cards to their favo

Corporate Recognition

About.com's article on employee recognition is a good one. This is the one area where Bux-Mont Awards sales has fallen off. With the financial meltdown came fear. A fear that halted the stock market and a fear that skittered through the banks so fast it brought lending to a halt. This fear cost many people their jobs, and it cost many people their businesses and livelihoods. While answers are waiting to be found a fear persists. People know that changes need to be made, and many are doing just that. Paying down credit cards, saving more, searching for greater and greater deals, peoples habits are changing. But that doesn't change the fact that people need to be recognized. When business go through massive layoffs, or even small layoffs it fuels this fear I was just telling you about. This is a reason, in downturns in the economy, why you need to utilize recognition to show your employees appreciation. Because it works. Lets face it, businesses don't have the budg
