About the Awards Industry

The awards and recognition industry has developed into a Multi-Billion Dollar Market, and it is still growing. Crown realized the potential of this market and has built itself into the industry's most powerful retailer.

The number of organized leagues catering to both boys and girls sports continues to grow, and aggressive businesses recognize productive employees for achievement, creating the need for more awards. While the industry continues to expand, the number of outlets servicing the industry continues to decline. Crown Trophy, the largest retailer of trophies in America, has a clear vision of the future of the industry and sees a bright outlook for its franchise owners in the years ahead. With low start-up costs, tremendous potential and a great support system, the Crown Trophy system offers great opportunity for success.

The Crown Concept

Crown Trophy is the only franchise system in the entire industry, and has developed over 140 stores nationwide. Crown Trophy's president, Chuck Weisenfeld stated"The awards industry is filled with small shops that sell awards as an afterthought, and the industry is in dire need of professionally run award centers." Crown has positioned itself as the leader for the next millennium. Crown will continue to grow and dominate the industry, by bringing more cost efficiencies through its mass purchasing, state-of-the-art product development, and by increasing name identity throughout America.

Simply put, we feel we are at the right place, at the right time, in the right industry. The years ahead should prove to be a period of tremendous growth for each franchise location, and in turn for the entire Crown Trophy franchise system.

Millions of Awards

Many people underestimate the power of the awards industry, and the broad scope of the people it touches. Organized sports have grown tremendously, but sports awards just scratch the surface. Consider the multitude of trophies, awarded by clubs, tournaments, and other special events. The millions of diplomas laminated every year. The scores of businesses that present corporate awards every month, quarter, and year. At Crown Trophy "Everyone is a Winner." We create very special cost-efficient awards, enabling organizations to recognize all their participants. Our "Awards for Everyone" concept is an important element in the growth of every child, student, and employee.
