Trophies2go.com – 2010 ARA Internet Retailer of the Year!

I'm proud to announce that as of February 25th, Trophies2go.com was presented with the Internet Retailer of the Year Award in Las Vegas, Nevada by the Awards and Recognition Association. "It is a great honor to be recognized by the ARA for the hard work that our company has put forth over the past 10 years." says Jeff (President of T2G). "This is a team accomplishment. Without the dedication of our staff and supportive families, we would not have been able to attain this level of success. Thank you to all who have been a part of the journey."

As a team member of the Trophies2Go staff here in Issaquah, I can honestly say it is a real privilege to be given such an eminent award. Since 2000, our president has accomplished so much in creating and maintaining such a strong growing business. Quite impressive for a little trophy shop located just across the street from a baseball field in the small town of Issaquah Washington!

I have only worked here for a little over two years, however, I too have personally witnessed and have had the privilege of being a part of some major accomplishments which have contributed to our success in today's world of internet marketing. That being said, I am also very pleased to be recognized as a part of the team. We did it Jeff, congrats!

Recycling Old Trophies

Your grown child had moved out of the house, and you're reclaiming his/her room as your own. What dod you do with that collection of old, dusty trophies? Here are some ideas of how to give those old trophies a new life....



Trophy Recycling

Unfortunately, the awards and recognition industry does not produce recyclable trophy components. Most of the trophies we create cannot be recycled and must either be reused or disposed. Hopefully, our industry will soon change its ways and reduce waste by offering recyclable products or products made from recycled materials. Until then, we have some suggestions for more utility from your old awards.

Donation, Donation, Donation

If you are on the Eastside of Seattle, there are a few local thrift stores that accept donations of old trophies. They clean and sell them to their customers. It's suprising what creative people can make out of old awards!

• Below is a list of Eastside thrift stores that accept gently used awards in good condition.
  
  

Goodwill Bellevue: 425-649-2080

St. Vincent de Paul Renton: 425-226-9426 (Please remove name plates before donating)

Vallue Village
Kirkland: 425-821-7186 Redmond: 425-883-2049
Renton: 425-255-5637

Unfortunately. many other smaller thrift stores do not accept trophies. If you have nay questions, please call your local second-hand store before making your donation.

Reuse Your Old Trophies

If you decide to reuse trophies for another season, the old engraved metal can be removed and recycled. New metal plates can be ordered and easily attached to existing trophies.

Make You Own Trophies

If your team is concerned about purchasing products that cannot be recycled, consider making your own awards out of wood or another biodegradable material. At Trophies2Go, engraved plates are available for you to attach to your awards. All of our engraved metal is recyclable.

We appreciate and share your commitment to our environment. At Trophies2Go, we strive to create meaningful recognition in an earth-friendly way!

Just as we cannot blame others for destroying the environment, so we cannot look to others to protect the envoronment. Responsibility for both begins at home. - Paul Griss, The Daily Planet
