Travel Program for College of the Ozarks Emphasizes Participation with Custom Challenge Coins

Published on January 27, 2012 in Custom Challenge Coins. Closed Tags: , , , .

The Patriotic Education Travel Program at the College of the Ozarks was established in 2009 as a way of pairing students up with World War II veterans who then travel to the battlefields where they once fought.  In addition to giving the younger generation an opportunity to connect with a hero, the program’s objective is to also reinforce one of the five goals of the College which is patriotic education.

Participating students return to school with a newfound respect for the veterans as well as a love for travel and their country.  Destinations visited by past alumni include England, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, and, and Germany to visit sites from D-Day, as well as Operation Market Garden, the Battle of the Bulge, Pearl Harbor, Okinawa, Iwo Jima, and Tokyo.  The Patriotic Education Travel Program is funded by College of the Ozarks as well as generous donors which means that students are free to focus on their studies instead of worrying about fundraising.

All About Coins contacted by the College with a request for custom challenge coins for this highly beneficial program.  The mementos serve as a reminder as to why they are in the program.  Working with veterans means the custom challenge coins are very relevant and makes sure the participants are shown appreciation.  Since World War I, challenge coins have been used to honor heroic efforts.

Custom challenge coins in this particular setting promote the program by encouraging donation and participation.  Anyone wishing to make a donation on behalf of the students and veterans involved can see their money being put to good use.  A special Q & A session or banquet can be scheduled upon arrival of the students following their trip.  This allows donors the opportunity to visit with participants and ask them details about their trip.

The small tokens of appreciation become cherished keepsakes for students because they are rich with symbolism and personal meaning.  Not everyone gets to participate in a program like The Patriotic Education Travel Program which makes the honor that much more special.  When presented in a velvet box or acrylic case, custom coins are perceived to be extremely valuable.

See for yourself what we can do for your college’s special travel program.  Visit http://www.allaboutchallengecoins.com today to request a free quote.  We can also answer any questions you might have about designing and ordering custom coins for your students.  You can contact us by emailing info@allaboutchallengecoins.com or calling 1-866-604-9462 toll-free.  A helpful sales professional can convey your idea or concept to our graphics team who will in return create a full color digital proof for you to look over free of charge.

JE Dunn Construction Challenge Coins Created for Ribbon Cutting Ceremony

Published on January 26, 2012 in Custom Challenge Coins. Closed Tags: , , , .

The Medical Clinic at Dover AFB was recently renovated by JE Dunn Construction. The update was for the facilities of the 436th Medical Group. JE Dunn Construction wanted to commemorate the completion with a ribbon cutting ceremony and thought that coins would be a great compliment to the event. The coins make great souvenirs and make the ceremony that much more memorable.  Individuals attending the ribbon cutting ceremony have something exciting to take home with them.

According to an article posted by Senior Airman Matthew Hubby of the 436th Airlift Wing Public Affairs, “A significant change is the transition of the mental health, public health and flight medicine clinics from the temporary facilities, located on Eagle Way, into the medical clinic. The clinic renovated 55,000 square feet of space, at a cost of $17.1 million. The renovation moved the majority of the clinic’s customer service sections to the first floor and, converted the upper two floors to office space.”

Custom challenge coins are a great choice for military functions as the military is extremely familiar with them and many collect coins. Brand the custom coins with your company name to keep it fresh in people’s minds.  You can also include an email address, phone number or website URL.  These details help others get into touch with you easily.  All they have to do is look at their challenge coin to know how to reach you.

A Soldier’s Child Birthday Foundation Pins

Published on January 25, 2012 in All About Pins. Closed Tags: , , , , .

A Soldier’s Child Birthday Foundation is committed to providing gifts to children whose father or mother died serving the United States of America in the military.  Founded in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, the group contacted us with a special request for custom lapel pins.  Anyone donating over $1,000.00 will receive a pin thanking them for their commitment to helping others.  Small gift items like these help groups and non-profits meet and exceed their goals.

Foundations nationwide can take pointers from A Soldier’s Child Birthday Foundation.  Not only are they committed to serving others, they make it a really special event when honoring young children as well as their parents.  This allows others to know about the foundation and the type of work that it does day in and day out.  Soliciting donations is much easier when a great deal of awareness has been promoted throughout a community.

The Captain’s Club pins that we created are simple in design but meaningful.  This goes to show that artwork needn’t be complex to be powerful.  Just by looking at the pins, people know where they came from.  Printing a name or website along with your logo or emblem is a great way to get people to take notice of you and the types of good deeds you do throughout the community.

Make a difference in a child’s life.  Show your support for organizations like A Soldier’s Child by making a significant donation of time or money.  In addition to the gratitude you receive because you chose to do so, many foundations will give you a small gift like a custom lapel pin as a way of thanking you for your generosity.

If you are the head of a foundation or charity, you can visit http://www.allaboutpins.com to see the different styles of lapel pins that we have to offer.  Whenever you’re ready to submit your ideas to us, you can use our online free quote form located at http://www.allaboutpins.com/quote.html.  You can also call 1-866-604-9462 toll-free or email info@allaboutpins.com to ask a question or make a suggestion regarding your lapel pin design.

3D Sculpted Lapel Pins Make It Easy to Duplicate Real Objects

Published on January 20, 2012 in All About Pins. Closed Tags: , , , .

When it comes to customizing lapel pins, we know a thing or two.  There is nothing more challenging than replicating real life objects.  For example, the custom pin featured here was created from a photograph we received of a dagger from the Middle East.  On the left side, you’ll see the picture that was sent to us by the customer.  On the right side is the ornate pin that we created based off the picture of the dagger.

We can take a completely foreign object and replicate it with ease.  That’s because no project is too big or too small.  We can even take something that is extremely detailed and turn it into an attractive and memorable custom lapel pin.  3D sculpting allows us to get the image right each and every time you place an order with us.

Custom lapel pins are a great way to share an item or experience with other.  Rather than rely on memory or a photograph, you can hand a detailed pin to everyone you come into contact with.  They can hold it in their hands, feel the grooves and edges, and wear it on a jacket, sweater, shirt or hat for others to see.  No other customer will have the same design as your pins which makes custom lapel pins that more special.

People come to associate their lapel pins with a specific time or event in their life.  For many members of the military, lapel pins are a direct connection to the time that they spent serving in another country.  That is one of the reasons why they like custom 3D sculpted lapel pins.  They may not be allowed to take an object like a dagger with them on a plane but they

Gift of Life Bone Marrow Foundation Donor Pins

Published on January 18, 2012 in Custom Lapel Pins. Closed Tags: , , , .

Jay Feinberg’s life changed when he was diagnosed with leukemia.  He learned that he would need a bone marrow transplant to survive.  Through his own personal journey, he has been able to help others in need.  Through his grassroots organization, Gift of Life Bone Marrow Foundation, he has been able to match donors with patients.  His associate donor registry is part of the National Marrow Donor Program (NMDP) and an accredited registry by the World Marrow Donor Association (WMDA).

Charitable organizations do their part to promote donations.  Gift of Life Bone Marrow Foundation decided to honor their donors with custom lapel pins. Bone marrow donors must go through a more complex screening and the infamous donation process (that isn’t as scary as most think).  People should be recognized for these selfless efforts.

Donation pins help spark interest in the foundation and make people aware of the need of donations.  They come in a variety of different styles so organizations can choose the one that best fits their needs.  In addition to being able to add a logo or emblem on their pins, they also can choose text that contains a powerful message.

Donors in general are real life heroes that deserve our recognition and respect.  Not only do they save lives, they also spread a powerful message about giving and receiving.  Without their contributions, many people needing bone marrow would not be given the lifesaving gifts that they have received.

Visit http://www.allaboutpins.com to see samples of pins that we have created for organizations like the Gift of Life Bone Marrow Foundation.  Take note of any style elements that you appreciate.  We can take your ideas and turn them into something special for all of your volunteers.  Call 1-866-604-9462 toll-free or email info@allaboutpins.com today.  We’re here to help you every step of the way.

 

Carlsen Volvo Sees Great Versatility and Potential in Custom Lapel Pins in Their Business Model

Published on January 17, 2012 in All About Pins. Closed Tags: , , , , .

Custom lapel pins have many uses in car dealerships across America.  In addition to rewarding exemplary employees for a job well done, these small tokens of appreciation add to the success of a business by promoting a favorable image of its employees.  Customers that see the salespeople and their belief in the product that they are selling speak volumes for the quality of the automobile as well as the company that manufacturers it.

“I love my…” pins are perfect gifts to customers and in Carlsen’s case a great memento for the car shows they host annually.  These small giveaway items help advertise the dealership.  In addition to being attractive and meaningful, they are also portable.  People wearing the pins can travel to different locations and reach a greater customer base rather quickly.  This helps companies like Carlsen Volvo put itself on the map and keep itself in the minds of potential buyers.

Custom lapel pins increase business.  They make customers feel valued.  When it comes time to buy a second vehicle, they remember the personalized experience and service that they received when visiting a particular dealership.  They also use their custom lapel pins to refer their family members and friends.  Asked where they purchased their vehicles, they are the first to tell them it was at a dealership like Carlsen Volvo.

Dealership pins can be any size, shape, style, and color.  They can be round or square or cut to shape a logo or image.  For example, a customer chooses to use a photograph or image of a car on his or her custom pins.  He or she can request that the pin be shaped like a car.  This helps draw interest in the pins by making them easily recognizable from a distance.
