Summer Break is Here!

imagesYahoo, the kids are out of school for the summer. This is such a fun time of the year for kids and teachers especially. There is so much to do in the summer. Keeping kids motivated is one thing parents sometimes struggle with. A great tool for motivation is incentives such as awards and trophies. Kids need encouragement, it doesn’t have to cost a lot or be extravagant to be effective. Small tokens are great for keeping them interested in a certain area.

To keep the kids going on their reading through the summer try awards and medals on ribbons. They will love to “earn” the next step. Reading through the summer will keep them on target and help to avoid that fall catch-up period when school starts up again. Motivations can also be given for keeping up with chores other accomplishments. Have a great summer everyone, here’s to staying motivated and on track!

Dance Competitions are Wrapping Up for the Season

Screen Shot 2014-05-01 at 12.49.39 PMThe Spring time is very busy for a dancer, there are so many competitions going on they are gone almost every weekend. Those dancers work very hard and are especially disciplined during competition season so they can bring home the trophies. Trophy Central has a large selection of dance trophies and medals for smaller competitions and  they carry the large trophies for higher competition events.

A dancer should be shown that all their hard work is appreciated. Dance is an artform and exercise. Dance is used throughout life to bring fitness and enjoyment to those who participate and others who just love to watch.

Even if your dancer did not win the award why not present them with one to show you have noticed all their achievements? Recognition and acknowledgement go a long way in promoting encouragement and building self-esteem.

We also give the option of making the covers more personalized by customizing them with your name, choice of color, choice of font style and orientation, and location of the print.

Father’s Day is Just Around the Corner

Father’s day is Sunday June 15th this year and it is only 26 short days away. What are you doing to honor your Father, Grandfather, or husband this year? A day relaxing with Dad and doing what ever he likes is probably exactly what he wants. Dad’s love to spend time with their families and just enjoy a slow paced day. Grilling is usually a welcome Father’s day meal. Nothing fancy just some good food and good times.

Buying a Father’s day present can be hard sometimes. Staying away from the cliche tie is probably a good idea but some time tested gifts never grow tiresome. Take the homemade card for instance, no parent would ever turn that down, whether it comes from a very young child or a grown adult, taking the time to make a card for your dad is probably the best gift he could ask for.

For something different Trophy Central offers trophies in many styles and designs that can be personalized and engraved for your one of a kind Dad. We offer trophies for what ever sport or activity he likes. If Dad like to fish you could make that a theme too. Show Dad he is number 1 in your eyes with a personalized trophy.

Spring Races are Well Underway

It is race season, bike races, running races, and triathlons are in full swing. It is really nice to commemorate a great race with a trophy or a medal for participants to take back home with them. People take great pride in their accomplishments and a medal or trophy give them a little display piece to remind them of their hard work. Recognition goes a long way in encouraging someone to keep up the good work. Trophy Central has excellent prices on awards, trophies, and medals.

With a great selection and variety of engraved recognition products these products are top quality and we ship quickly. Satisfied customers are very important to all of us here at Trophycentral.com so please let us know how the products went over after your event!

Wear A Gold Pin And Be Proud

Showing off your awards at home or at work is one thing, but being able to wear your awards is another. We have pins for pretty much anything. If you are a leader of any sort that is a great time to wear a pin. If you are earning a new position is at work, such as becoming a judge that is also a great time to wear a pin to show off your progression in your sport of field.

These pins would be a great appreciation gift as well. If your sports team just appointed a new captain, or if you just appreciate all that your captain has been doing for your team, this would be a great gift to show him or her you appreciate all they have done. If your loved on just got a new position, that would also be a great time to give them a pin that could boost their confidence when starting on their new career adventure.
