Five Ways Custom Challenge Coins Can Be Used for Your Business or Organization

Posted by Signature Coins | Thursday May 15th, 2014 | Topic: Challenge Coins

For decades, custom challenge coins have been among the most prestigious award items around. A part of military history, the creation and distribution of the unique metal mementos has surpassed its own popularity to become a staple for businesses and organizations of all sizes. Part memento and part tool, today’s challenge coin is both attractive in nature and effective in purpose.

There are a number of different things coins can be used for including to inform, educate, promote, thank, and reward. Let’s examine each concept closely to illustrate the versatility and practicality of custom corporate challenge coins.

To Inform

Custom coins can be created in a way to inform others about upcoming programs, events, and initiatives. Thought to be the modern day equivalent of traditional business cards, challenge coins can be used to identify a business or organization, relay its contact information (email address, phone number, website URL) to the public, announce its intentions, and communicate its mission statement to the community. Part of the appeal of custom coins is the fact that the items are double-sided. There is ample room to include text, logos, and other pertinent information.

To Educate

An effective educational tool, custom challenge coins can be used to educate the public about the importance of a product, service or program. Safety initiatives are among the most popular themes for custom coins used for educational purposes. School teachers and other professionals use the personalized items as visual aids to illustrate a point. Custom coins often have a message included in their design. What would yours be?

To Promote

Custom coins are among the most popular promotional tools available. Novel in design and appearance, they are not the type of item you run across every day. People know that they’re receiving something substantial when you give them a custom coin. They’ll instantly be interested in what you are trying to promote because your business or organization has formed an excellent impression in their minds.

To Thank
