Award Concepts is involved in every aspect of our Recognition Program. They really know our company structure and personally share with us the achievements of our associates. Over the years we’ve worked together to build a rewarding and lasting relationship.

Sandy and I really enjoyed our meeting with you and the staff at Award Concepts.  We were and we are still greatly impressed with the service you provided and are willing to provide. 

We promised you an answer around the first of the year.  However, I don't find it necessary to wait to tell you that which we already know.  We want Awards Concept to be the vendor for our Employee Service Awards/Recognition Program.  Yes, we want you. 

Please know our decision was made easy due to the relaxed family atmosphere of your company.  We really felt at home and the staff was so pleasant, warm and professional.  It was a joy just to interact with them. In addition, they were attentive and accommodating.  We were thoroughly impressed with the entire operation.  The big selling point was actually seeing the operation.

Again thank you and we look forward to a warm, professional and lasting partnership.

We recently placed our employee service award business with Award Concepts and could not be happier with our decision.  We continue to be impressed by their attention to details and their commitment to quality customer service.  It is apparent that “customer service” is not just talked about, but rather lived out at every level of their organization.  Everyone on the Award Concepts team has made us feel respected and genuinely valued as customers. 

Most importantly, our employees have enthusiastically and positively embraced the changes to our service award program!  Many of our honorees have expressed their gratitude for the personal touches we were able to incorporate into our program.  Our award program clearly communicates our sincere appreciation to our valued employees for their years of dedicated service.  We are extremely grateful for Award Concepts’ help in making this a very special occasion for our very special employees!

The relationship between Award Concepts and the National Communication Association's student organizations program goes beyond vendor and customer. It is instead a partnership built on reliable service and quality products. It is not always easy to supply an organization of over 400 chapters across the country, but Award Concepts efficiently manages this fulfillment process while providing NCA with tools designed to streamline customer management. Our chapters constantly thank us for using Award Concepts to provide them with induction, graduation, and merchandise materials.

We have been a client of Award Concepts for over 20 years. Year after year, Award Concepts plays a key role in the success of MB Financial Bank’s customer and anniversary gift programs.  From offering us the best quality gifts, to coordinating the personalization process, to delivering the awards.  Their staff is always pleasant to work with, and they provide us with the kind of attention to detail that makes us look good to our customers and employees.  They have always taken care of us as if we were their most important client. Award Concepts is a premier service provider, and I am pleased to highly recommend them.

My national board of directors turned to Award Concepts to create a commemorative pin for our sorority’s 50th anniversary. Every step of the process was smooth and easy, they were a joy to work with right from the start. I shared with them what we were looking for and they designed exactly what I had in mind. Not only did they create a beautiful piece of jewelry, they exceeded our expectations on both price and delivery time.

The craftsmanship was superb. Our 50th Anniversary pin has become a treasured item to many of our members.  We couldn’t ask for better folks to work with than the staff at Award Concepts. I highly recommend them to anyone who wants exceptional service and high quality products.

RE: University of Missouri Radiologic Technology Pin Order

Everything arrived on time and was just wonderful! Thank you for your help.  We have recommended you to the Respiratory Therapy program, and it sounds like they will contact you for their graduation needs next year.

The APO pins just arrived. They are beautiful! I can't thank you enough. I know you rushed this order for me and I truly appreciate it. The kids were amazed when they saw the picture of the pins, they're going to be thrilled when they see the actual pins! If you send me the invoice I'll get payment out to you right away.

Once again, you went above and beyond on my behalf. If anyone ever asks you for a reference, please give them my contact information. Award Concepts is one of the best companies I've ever had the pleasure of working with. You gentlemen and your staff are wonderful.

Many thanks and best wishes,
