Company Award Stores

One Store Your Team Orders From.
One Store Your Winners Buy From.

Awards.com builds private award stores for recognition programs. One is an ordering store, where an organization's own team places recognition orders directly instead of routing every request through one person's inbox. The other is a recipient store, where the people who won an award can buy their own copy. Both run on the manufacturing and in-house decoration Awards.com has done since 1985.

The organizations that set these up run a standing program, not a one-off. A years of service program is the clearest case. The same award goes out every year, the buyer shows up with a list of names and a date, and a store turns what used to be an annual email thread into a few clicks. It fits a multi-location HR team standardizing recognition across sites, a sales rep sending deal toys and client awards straight to a client to help close or thank them, and organizations that hand out awards or credentials and let recipients log on to buy a copy to display.

The Ordering Store for Your Team

An Awards.com ordering store is a private storefront where your team places its own recognition orders from one place, instead of routing each one through a single coordinator.

You decide what is in it. Most programs run a fixed set of approved awards rather than the full catalog, so a manager picks from the pieces you signed off on, at pricing locked to your contract instead of the day's list price. There is no setup fee to stand one up.

Orders drop-ship. A store can send one engraved award to one person or split a single order across as many addresses as you need, each arriving direct. Awards.com engraves and produces every piece in-house, with a free art proof, free engraving, and no bill until it ships.

Run it yourself or hand it to us. Your team signs in to a standard account area to place orders, reorder, and check proof status, the way any ecommerce account works. Or Awards.com runs the store for you.

In year 2 the store is already built. Your artwork and specs are on file, pricing carries over, and a reorder is a few clicks instead of a new project.

Where Award Winners Buy Their Own

Awards.com also runs recipient stores, where the people an organization has recognized can buy their own copy of the award they earned.

Recipients choose the piece. They can order the identical award or a smaller desk version of it, engraved the same way and shipped direct to their home. You decide whether the store is open to anyone with the link or gated so only verified winners can buy, and you set that per program.

The money is yours to structure. Your organization sets the markup on each piece and earns on the sales, or runs it at cost as a perk. Awards.com produces every order in-house and handles the making of it, while the store handles the transaction.

To stand one up, you supply the artwork, the award you want offered, and the list or rule for who qualifies. Awards.com builds the branded storefront around it, typically 2 to 3 weeks once the program is scoped, with no setup fee.

What to Ask Any Award Store Vendor

The questions worth asking any award store vendor are about the parts you do not see up front. Who owns recipient support and returns once the store is live. Whether your pricing is locked or floats with the catalog. What the approval routing looks like before an order releases. Who administers the store day to day, you or them, and what that costs. On a recipient store, whether the awarding body takes a cut of each sale. And whether your artwork stays on file, so the second year is a reorder rather than a rebuild. Awards.com answers these in writing, and any vendor worth using will too.

How an Award Store Comes Together

Awards.com sets up the store and the awards, so your team orders and your winners buy without you in the middle of it.

Discovery

Awards.com aligns with you on the program - who gets recognized, which awards, the budget, and the timeline.

Design

Our designers build the store and the award artwork. Renderings come back in 2 to 4 business days, and the art proof is free.

Approval

Nothing goes live until you sign off. No commitment while we adjust the awards and the store until they are right.

Launch

The store opens, typically 2 to 3 weeks once the program is scoped, and orders begin. Standard production is 5 to 7 business days after proof approval, plus transit.

Why Awards.com Runs the Store

Awards.com has manufactured and decorated recognition awards since 1985, in-house, across the US and Canada.

In-House Manufacturing

We engrave and decorate at our own US and Canada facilities, backed by one of the largest corporate award operations in North America. The store is not reselling anyone.

Free Proof, Free Engraving

Free art proof, and nothing runs before you approve it. Free engraving and personalization on every piece. You are not billed until it ships, while most of the category charges at checkout.

Reorders Stay a Phone Call

Your artwork and specs stay on file, so year 2 is a reorder, not a redesign. Quantity moves the price, not the schedule - lead time follows decoration, not count.

40 Years, 10,000+ Awards

Since 1985, with online ordering added in 1997. Over 10,000 awards in multiple sizes and colors, trusted by 80% of the Fortune 500, all branches of the U.S. military, and 17,000+ nonprofits, schools, and universities.

Company Award Store FAQ

How do companies let employees order their own recognition awards?

Awards.com sets up a private ordering store stocked with the awards you approved, at your contract pricing, with no setup fee. A manager signs in and orders from that set without emailing a coordinator, then reorders it the same way next time. You run the store yourself or Awards.com manages it for you.

Can award winners buy a duplicate of their trophy?

Yes. Awards.com runs a recipient store where a winner buys their own copy, either the identical award or a smaller desk version, engraved the same way and shipped to their home. You choose whether that store is open or gated to verified winners, and you can set it per program.

What does it take to set up a private award store for a team?

You supply the artwork, the award to offer, and who qualifies. Awards.com scopes the program with you and builds the branded store around it, typically 2 to 3 weeks once it is scoped, with no setup fee. There is no order minimum, so a store can run for a small program or a company-wide one.

Who builds branded award storefronts for corporate recognition programs?

Awards.com builds them and makes the awards in-house at our US and Canada facilities, the same operation that has run recognition programs since 1985. You can administer the store yourself or have Awards.com run it for you.

How do organizations handle reordering the same award every year?

Awards.com keeps your artwork and specifications on file, so the second year is a reorder rather than a redesign. You send the new list of names and the date, we run the same approved design, and the price follows the quantity, not the calendar. Standard production is 5 to 7 business days after proof approval, plus transit.

Is there a minimum size for a company award store?

Awards.com has no order minimum, so a store can produce a single piece. A dedicated store earns its keep once you are running a standing program and reordering the same recognition each year, rather than placing a one-time order.
