Custom Plaques: The Gift that Keeps on Giving

We all have that one person in our lives that is hard to buy for. They simply already own everything, or you just have no clue what to get for them. Valentine’s day is no exception from this dilemma (and it’s right around the corner, too)! So, let us help you with that perfect gift idea that no one will ever consider buying for themselves. Create custom plaques for all of your loved ones this holiday.

Custom Plaques, Not Just for Awards

While a list of perfect Valentine’s day gifts may already exist, we think that you’re overlooking this one. The great thing about custom plaques is that there is room for more text than a name tag or name plate. Add an entire poem to express your feelings for that certain someone in your life. Or, add a quick tidbit from a favorite book.

No matter your wording choice, don’t forget that you can also add icons and simple graphics. From roses to hearts, all plaques can be engraved with your special message for your loved one.

Let us know what you need, and we’ll send you a digital proof for you to review before we start your order!

Thinking Outside the Box

One of the best things about customizing a unique gift plaque is that these can be given to nearly anyone in your life. From a favorite teacher to your grandpa, everyone is sure to enjoy this thoughtful gift. Just remember that your message should fit the recipient.

Oh, and another wonderful thing about a gift plaque is that you can give it to both men and women! Add your sweetheart’s favorite saying or your mom’s loving words to a suitable graphic. Now you have the perfect gift for everyone in your life.

What you can add to our custom plaques?

To answer this question, you need to make a choice. First, choose a value, standard or premium plaque. Second, look at the available materials. Third, make a size selection. For example, under Premium Plaques, you can choose a Rosewood Plaque with a Floating Acrylic Plate and then select from three different sizes.

When choosing which plaque size is best for you, make sure you know what you want for your message. The longer your message is, the bigger your plaque size will need to be. You will also need to keep in mind that you will need a larger size if you want to use a graphic to go with the text.

PRO TIP: Check out what we have listed on our site for ideas on what will fit on different sized plaques.

Attract Customers with Unique Store Decorations

When it comes to attracting customers to your store, decorations are your greatest commodity. They make your store a fun place to shop by giving customers a treasure trove of things to look at. The more you use decorations to create a fun and exciting environment for shoppers, the more customers you will attract.

Decorating a store goes to the heart of what makes great retailing. … It piques a shopper’s curiosity to discover what is new. When you introduce new, yet familiar elements to the shopping experience, you change the energy of your entire store.

Store decorations also increase your sales by putting your customers in a good mood.

Triggering these happy memories makes your customers feel good, which causes them to see your products in a positive light. The more customers see your products as desirable, the more they will want to buy them.

While it is better to have decorations than none at all, remember that decorating your store is a continual effort. To attract customers to your store, give them something new to see by constantly adding or rearranging your decorations. Yes, this can include decorating your store for every holiday, but it can also be something you do for other occasions such as back to school week or sporting events. In the end, you don’t need a reason to decorate your store other than to bring in more customers.
