They have SO many cool items on display. If you are stuck on gift ideas, just browse around in their office and you'll get tons of ideas. Also, when I originally e-mailed them, they responded right away! I know, basic customer service, but that is hard to come by these days. The folks I interacted with when I dropped off the frame, and when I picked it up, were super knowledgable and friendly. A truly positive experience!

They listen well, offer solutions and suggestions whenever I'm unsure, plus they have even shown me ways to save money and still make a beautiful gift for a memorable presentation. They are easy to find in a shopping mall just northeast of the Lomas/Juan Tabo intersection. I often call, but I've also submitted my orders via email. Either way, they always email me a proof before they begin their work. Normal turn-around is a couple days but have been as fast as same-day. I've shopped these types of services in Albq before, and I'm very pleased with Awards Etc., so I have no plans to look elsewhere.

I came to lovely Albuquerque for a conference, only to discover that we needed a plaque for our…read moregroup's highest award... but that our wires had gotten crossed and we didn't have one. With little hope, I called Fred at A-1, who immediately told me that A-1 would be able to make a suitable plaque in a single day. I went out to the shop, and got lots of options and good choices. Fred took care of designing (and improving) the layout of our text, and delivered the perfect product the same afternoon. Not only that -- he didn't ask for a 'rush' fee or raise his price ... even though, as he told me, most of his team had taken off for a special event that morning, and he was running the shop all by himself. Immediate response, high quality, and treating the customer well...what more could you ask for? Thanks Fred, from me and from our whole Society.

If you're anything like me, you've never attempted to purchase a trophy or award for anybody, ever…read more I've received my share of corporate plaques and chintzy monuments honoring record profit margins and undying enslavement to some promotion-of-the-moment, my cubicle walls gasping for breath, my company loyalty breaking bad with each earnings memo boasting quarterly gains surpassing the highest projections imaginable while I, just another worker bee, spent another year pounding away without a raise even though my annual reviews consistently scored above average, if not exceeding expectations. Do I have issues? Damn right I do. I wish some adult would've had the foresight to tell me as a kid that trophies would represent altogether abstract victories when I grew up, so I could treasure our little league baseball championships that much more deeply. All of these thoughts and emotions swirled around my head while I looked over the bevy of awards, medals, placards and golden trophies jam-packed along the walls of A-1. The danger in awarding someone an object, it seems to me, is in the weight of the success the object represents. So the craftsman better be good. I'd surmise that the owner of A-1, who was very friendly and approachable, has made his share of mistakes over the years. Imagine crafting some grand award and noticing afterwards that you misspelled the owner's name during the engraving, costing you all of that effort and time and material. I noted a hardened aspect to his personality, like he'd been there and done that too many times, crafting an expert. I don't know about you, but I like spending my money on experts. A-1 has a wide selection of products to honor any occasion or personality, and if they don't carry it, they'll order it from the web pronto. My modest trophy, a medal, was a fantastic deal, less than $15. It was ready in about four days which was crucial, as the ceremony was fast approaching. Another solid local find on Yelp. Be wary: you might find yourself talk talk talkin' away in this shop.
