How to Order with Award Maven?

Six steps from first conversation to delivery. Nothing goes into production until you approve a digital proof.

1. Kickoff and Goals
We start by understanding your specific needs, who the audience is, and what success looks like for the program, event, or campaign.
2. Product Shortlist and Recommendations
Our team curates a refined shortlist that fits your goals, budget, timeline, and audience so you can compare options without sorting through noise.
3. Design and Branding Setup
We align on logos, imprint methods, messaging, and presentation details, whether you already have production-ready art or need support refining it.
4. Proof Approval and Personalization Details
Before anything goes into production, you review the proof, approve decoration methods and personalization details (if applicable), and confirm the final spec.
5. Production and Quality Check
Once approved, we move into production and run a quality check so the finished pieces match the proof and the expectations you signed off on.
6. Shipping, Delivery, and Enjoy
We coordinate delivery, provide tracking, and help make sure your awards, promo, or deal toys arrive ready for the moment they are meant to celebrate.

Custom Service Awards For Employees

Service awards mark years of someone's work, so they should look like they were made for that person. Bring a design you already have, or let us recommend materials, shapes, and engraving that fit your milestones and budget. Engraving is included in our award prices.

What Our Customers Say

"They marry their product knowledge and commitment to service with professionalism and positivity."

Andy Guscott

Corporate Event Manager

Award Maven's follow up and attention to detail is unparalleled.

I have worked with hundreds of vendors over my 20 years in the workforce where I worked extensively in event planning, advertising and sales support. Many times you are the one emailing the vendor to find out the status of your products. This is not the case with Award Maven. They would give me a deadline and stick to it. Otherwise they would be calling/emailing me for the item to ensure it met production deadlines as well as my own deadline.

I wanted to take a minute and say THANK YOU!

This is our first time working together and I know for sure it won't be the last. Award Maven made our award experience for our winners seamless. From the moment we had our initial call, the team ensured that their job was to give me peace of mind and a memorable experience for our winners – and they did just that!! They were incredibly organized, gave me friendly reminders on deadlines, made sure our expectations were met, ordered last minute awards on the fly, and overall a joy to work with!
