Our Custom Challenge Coins Are in a Class All Their Own

May 3rd, 2012

Our custom challenge coins are in a class all their own.  Here’s what valued customer, Executive Officer, Kelly Klaus, had to say about the custom coins we created for the Yellow Rose Squadron:

Ryan,

Thanks for providing the challenge coins we purchased. They look great and we have already sold most all of them.

Three weeks ago, our B-25 Yellow Rose attended the 70th Doolittle Raiders reunion in Dayton, OH. The event was historic with 20 vintage B-25′s attending from all across the U.S.  With your help, you have made this event memorable for the Yellow Rose

Squadron and we say Thank You!

Unfortunately, we have made changes in our organization and are no longer the “Yellow Rose Squadron” but have combined with another unit, The Central Texas Wing of the Commemorative Air Force.  In doing so, we may be looking to order more coins with another look to reflect the change in our organization.

Thanks again for the great coins!

Kelly Klaus

Executive Officer

Centex Wing

We love repeat customers.  That’s what makes it fun for us to work with customers like Kelly Klaus.  We know how much the Yellow Rose Squadron loved their coins and how much The Central Texas Wing of the Commemorative Air Force will love theirs if they order new challenge coins next year.  Exceeding our customers’ expectations is something we strive to do each and every order that is placed with us.

Custom challenge coins make the perfect gift at organized events. They’re designed to commemorate the group and occasion that they’re created for.  This gives all the people in attendance something exciting and extra special to take home with them.  They can relive the event over and over again by simply looking at their custom challenge coin.

Let us be a part of your special event.  Visit http://www.challengecoinsrus.com today to learn more about the ordering process.  We will send you a free price quote and full color digital proof.  Once your coins arrive by mail, send us a testimonial.  We love to feature you and your coin designs on our blog.

Creating Customized Cause Related Challenge Coins to Raise Money For Non-Profit Events

April 21st, 2011

Many companies organize teams or groups to participate in non-profit cause related events like the March Of Dimes and the Alzheimer’s Memory Walk. Items like customized tee shirts, hats and mugs as well as a free lunch or VIP admission into special thank you galas are just a few ways in which participants are rewarded for their efforts.

Inspiring and Thanking Your Team’s Sponsors

Our question is, what about the sponsors who donate money, to research, development and treatment, on behalf of the event’s runners, bikers or walkers? For anyone and everyone who pledges their time a non-profit event to raise money, we suggest creating custom cause challenge coins.

If your company has a team or group that usually participates in a cause related event, offering and giving sponsors a customized challenge coin, to say thank you for their donations, will act as an added incentive to make a pledge. It will also give them a little something extra to look forward to about sponsoring next year’s event.

Designing Coins to Reach Full Fundraising Potential

To maximize your personalized coins fundraising potential, it is important to design coins in way that both the non-profit and your sponsors will appreciate. As a leader in the challenge coin industry, we have some design ideas that will help make your team’s coin unique and collectible.

For the best results, you should choose a double sided challenge coin and:

  • On one side, include the event name, date and, if allowed, the event’s or the non-profit organization’s official logo.
  • Your company, team name and logo on the opposite side.
  • Use a shape other than round,  like a star, heart, diamond or a combination  of two shapes
  • Include add-ons like glitter, danglers, cut-out or bobbles to give the coin character and flare
  • Most importantly, trust the creation of your challenge coin design to the professionals at Challenge Coins R Us.

For annual events, non-profits encourage participants to get sponsors and raise money by offering the individual members incentives, like customized memorabilia and admission to special events. Team members can boost their fundraising potential by applying this same principle to their sponsors using personalized challenge coins.
