Dual Purpose Custom Challenge Coins Created for RR Steakhouse of Marengo, Illinois

Published on April 15, 2011 in Custom Challenge Coins. Closed Tags: , , , , , , .

There is only one thing that clients love more than a quality, well prepared and delicious meal; and that is the same meal at a money saving price. RR Steakhouse in Marengo, Illinois embraced this idea and decided to create a customized restaurant challenge coin that plays two important roles in the restaurant’s success.

Two Purposes Equals Two Sides 

It makes sense that RR Steakhouse’s custom coin was created using both sides.  With it serving dual purposes, using both sides of the coin maximizes the amount of space available to use for the challenge coin design. This double sided and antique silver finished company coin was designed to give patrons more than they expect.

As you can see, one side of this challenge coin provides the restaurant’s location and contact information. Having coins made with the establishment’s contact information allows the challenge coin to serve as a business card.

The steakhouse also made the challenge coins redeemable for a discount or credit. When customers flip their coins over, they will find a monetary value on the it.

Better Quality By Comparison

RR Steakhouse, like many other businesses and companies, realized that challenge coins are a great investment for a few reasons. In comparing challenge coins to traditional business cards, it becomes obvious that customized coins:

1.    Lasts longer than paper products

2.    Have a higher perceived value

3.    Are not misplaced easily

Bearing this in mind, could your business benefit from an innovative and unique way of connecting with customers? Do you know for certain that offering clients a discount on your goods or service will boost business?  If your answer is yes, then why not have custom challenge coins made for your company?

Adding a QR Bar Code to a Custom Challenge Coin

Published on February 15, 2011 in Custom Challenge Coins. Closed Tags: , , , , , , .

In today’s technological world, QR coding is drastically increasing in prominence.  What is a QR code? A QR code is a two dimensional barcode that can be read using a QR barcode reader or a camera phone with the appropriate application. The information embedded within the code may be text, a web address, preferred customer information, a coupon or other data.

Getting Ahead By Staying Connected

If you want your business or organization to stay current, you can implement a QR code into your challenge coin design. The code is a good way for companies to link people directly to your company’s website. Potential clients will not have to worry about trying to remember the web address nor will you have to be concerned about them forgetting it. With coins being portable and easy to access, clients always have a way to find you when they need you.

No Need to Look Any Further

Aside from website, traditional contact information like the business’ address and telephone number can be encoded as well. This way if someone is already out and needs to locate you, they can scan the barcode to obtain the address for input into a GPS system. This would also give them a means of contacting you for directions or for answers to sudden questions.

This Card is Hard to Lose

Are you familiar with v-cards?  V-cards are file formats for electronic business cards.  These eco-friendly and paperless promotional items can be embedded in a QR code as well.  Company coins are generally far more interesting and original than traditional business cards. Recipients will be surprised and even entertained by your company’s efforts to stand out. Not to mention, the originality behind your coins will make them less likely to be misplaced.

Do not hesitate to take your business relations to the next level.  Order your QR barcode custom challenge coins today and watch your customer base grow!

Custom Challenge Coins made to Commemorate NROL-32 Launch

Published on January 7, 2011 in Custom Challenge Coins. Closed Tags: , , , , , .

Sunday November 21, 2010, NROL-32, the world’s largest satellite, was launched from Cape Canaveral, Florida by the United Launch Alliance (ULA).  Dubbed a reconnaissance satellite, its primary mission is to support national defense and further protect America’s safety.

Satellite Launch Sparks a Change in Design Perspective

With the launch marking yet another great event in U.S. history, All About Coins was honored to create the custom challenge coin used to commemorate it. The challenge coin was created to give as a keepsake token to attendees and those who participated in the launch. Though the event does not require any aid for remembrance, the challenge coin design is sure to help many relive the memory for years to come.

On one side of the coin you can see a symbol of America and the number 32 written out in Roman numerals using the pattern and colors of the American flag.  The flip side of the coin displays the Delta 4 rocket, one more timeless U.S symbol and abbreviations of the agencies and organizations that were involved.  Another intriguing aspect of the coin is its shape.

People are still surprised to learn that custom challenge coins do not have to resemble an actual coin.  As seen with the NROL-32 commemorative coin, they can be crafted in any shape other than the circle. All About Coins has made these customized mementos not only in triangle shapes, but in rectangle, square and diamond shapes as well.

Years of Experience Make all the Difference

Paying tribute to events like the satellite launch as well as essential agencies is what we are known for. Do you want to know why major organizations always choose us to fulfill their challenge coin needs? If so visit our photo gallery at https://managed.aan.strazent.com/~allaboutch/photogallery.html.
