December 2015

Stunning, impressive, durable and consistent.  That's what sets this award apart from all the others.

Our Waterford Award sparkles with beveled edges.

The Waterford Cut Acrylic Award by RB Fabrication wins the Trophies2Go 2015 Product of the Year. Nominated by our Production Manager Tom, he chose this award because of the high quality and elegant design.

Our engraver Lori likes how this award is consistent from piece to piece and is easy to engrave.  It always looks great for our customers.

This stunning award features sparking bevels in the Waterford style with an an elegant pointed oval shape on a sturdy acrylic base.  Made of clear acrylic, it has the drama of a crystal award with the durability of Lucite.

Here's what past customers had to say:

"We used this product for our Employee of the Year awards and it really made an impact.  Award is large, attractive, and really makes a statement."

"This Award is quality.  It truly looks like Waterford Cut Crystal.  The work on the personalization is great too."

Thank you to our vendor RB Fabrications, who supplies us with many of our top selling, highest quality acrylic awards.  Based in California, all of their awards are made in the USA.

We are proud to carry RB's awards in our online catalog and especially proud to feature one as our 2015 Product of the Year!

For past Product of the Year winners, check out our 2012 Monster Trophies, 2013 Honey Badger Trophy and 2014 the Swirl Egg Art Glass award!

Cheers!

Margene and I model two of the trophies we carry from Western along with their wholesale catalog.

Dependability, Speed and Teamwork.

That's what sets apart our 2015 "Vendor of the Year", Western Trophy & Sign Supply. With locations in OR, CA, AZ, and CO,  this wholesale awards distributor provides many trophy components to awards companies across the western US.

Western Trophy was nominated for "Vendor of the Year" by both our President, Jeff and our Production Manager, Tom.

Jeff said: "Western has great products and amazing customer service".

Tom said: "I nominated Western because of their great customer service team.  Dan, Kathy, Chris, Brenda, Rod, John, and Megan are always very helpful, knowledgeable, personable, and dependable.  When there are problems, such as product shortages, they always work with me to figure out alternatives. They also patiently accommodate me when my order needs additions or changes."

Western is a main distributor of Plastic Dress Up (PDU) products, which are the main components of most of our sports trophies.  We also purchase many resin awards and medals from Western.

We work mostly with the staff in the Portland, OR warehouse, as that is the location closest to our production facility in Renton, WA.  Just one shipping day away, Western helps us fulfill customer orders quickly and efficiently.

Congratulations to Western Trophy for being our supplier of the year!  Thank you for supplying us with quality products and for the great customer service you give to Trophies2Go every day.

Cheers,
Jessica
