Most Used provider of wholesale Awards in the Industry

[Tom Winters]

Hey guys (and girls!),

I have a favor to ask. I know I haven't posted as much as I should but I am a busy guy. Hope all is well with your businesses, even if you're a competitor of mine.

I am trying to do some market research and even though the CNC Zone is a small group....maybe you can still help me out.

The question I need answered is which company is the most used provider of wholesale awards and trophies? I know there are many out there and I know of or at least have heard of most. Any help on this would be appreciated. I know there has to be actual data about this somewhere to be found on the web, I just haven't come across it.

I am also trying to compile a list of these wholesalers so if you know some names of companies, that is appreciated too.

Thank you guys (and girls) for your help.

Ok let me be a bit more clear for everyone. I have started this same thread on the creek and someone raised a brow.

There are countless of us engravers out there that sell engraved awards like plaques, crystals, trophies, and more. What I am trying to find out is where do most of these engravers get there engraveable awards from.....

Do most engravers go through one of the wholesalers listed below:
JDS
Discount Trophies
Barbell
Airflyte

???? OR
If you all were to say that a different supplier than the ones I have just listed were where most bought their wholesale awards from.....that would be what I am looking for on this thread. I mean I would love to hear where the cnczone members get their materials from, opinions on the matter, and of course if someone actually found a consensus done on this and/or other actual information regarding the majority of consumer spending habits......I would be grateful. Thank you to all that respond.
