Laser Engraved Science Fair Award

Student Awards

Timeless Tributes to Student Success

Now, more than ever, it is critically important that we celebrate and recognize the outstanding things that students accomplish, both inside and outside of the building.

Recognition of students fosters strong relationships among students, families, faculty, and the community and creates a positive school culture where students feel valued. Additionally, student awards celebrate and recognize academic excellence, community service, athletic achievements, etc.

Faculty / Staff Awards

Crafted Recognition for Exceptional Service

Teachers are being asked to do more than ever before, and therefore are deserving of recognition. A good reward system helps schools build a growth-centered environment, track the individual progress of educators, and keep them inspired for dynamic growth and new achievements. Awards for coaches, advisers, and other faculty recognize, support, and can help with retention of key employees.

Teacher awards can be based on academic and social efforts, teaching practices and expertise, student evaluation/feedback, innovation in teaching practices, and much more!

Reaching the right people

Finding the right contact is always a difficult part of earning a new customer, so start with your current relationships:

  • Do you know someone who works or volunteers within the school system?
  • Does anyone in your current network have any academic contacts?
  • Do you know any faculty or staff at a local school who could be an in for getting business?
  • Don’t just focus locally — think bigger!

A well-designed website allows you to create a section of the site dedicated to a specific industry, like schools and universities. Additionally, search engine optimization will help you in becoming highly ranked for searches for school awards and more. Many engravers have also found success in using Facebook to create targeted ads with specific messages for the academic community.

Schools require a variety of custom products: signage, apparel, and more. As an engraver, you’re in a unique position to change and adapt with the needs of the schools in your community. If you aren’t already, we hope this information inspires you to target this profitable market!
