The History Of Memorial Day

Memorial Day first started as back in the Civil War days as a way to honor both Union and Confederate soldiers who died.  After World War II, Memorial Day was extended to recognizing all soldiers who gave their lives in any war, not just the Civil War.  While it was originally called “Decoration Day, it wasn’t until 1967 when Memorial Day was officially given its name of “Memorial Day.”  Today most people celebrate Memorial Day by attending memorial services, most of which take place at cemeteries of their fallen soldiers, but there are other ways to remember and show your respect for your loved ones all year round. 

HitTrophy.com Adds Facebook “Like” Buttons

Now-a-days it seems that everyone has a Facebook.  Some people view that as a good thing that you can connect with friends of the past and keep up with family members that live far away.  On the other hand, some teenagers think it’s “lame” that their parents have Facebook and they can be friends with their friends.  A lot of businesses are also getting their own Facebook pages and that includes us as you can view the Hit Trophy Facebook Page anytime, day or night.

Eagle Statue Featured On Rob Dyrdek’s Fantasy Factory

When the employees find a free moment in their day to discuss TV shows, it seems that it’s the reality shows that come up the most.  One of the most talked about shows at Hit Trophy is Rob Dyrdek’s Fantasy Factory.  One day while watching Fantasy Factory I surprised to see that Rob had one of the items that we sell at HitTrophy.com placed right on his desk!

Customer Service & 100% Satisfaction Are Hit Trophy’s Top Priorities

Creating a business is something that’s difficult to do.  Building a business can be an even larger task.  Making a business profitable and running like a well-oiled machine can be an even larger challenge.  But if you can do all of these things and do it for 47 years, then you must be doing something right.  Here at Hit Trophy the thing that we have built our business on is our high level of customer service.

Jim Tressel Has Created An Avid Ohio State Fan Base

Jim Tressel is the head coach of the Ohio State Buckeyes Football Team.  Tressel also has nicknames such as “The Senator” or “The Sweatervest” that commenters often reference him by.  If you’ve lived under a rock for the past 8 years, then you probably don’t know anything about him or the fact that he turned a pretty good football program into an elite football program.  Lately he’s run into some internal issues where it appears that he didn’t disclose information to his athletic director, school president or even the NCAA and so far that’s gotten him a 5 game suspension, with the possibility that the NCAA could suspend him even further.

New Resin Statues With Glass Engraving Plates

Resin statues are slowly becoming some of our better selling items that we have to offer at HitTrophy.com.  Most of them come in a bronze color, while there are others that come in gold, silver and some even come painted with multiple colors.  While these resin statues are very attractive, one of the minor flaws with them is their small engraving area.  That’s why we have started to release resin statues that come with a larger glass engraving plate that has extra room for logo and text personalization.  A few examples of these newly release resin statues with glass engraving plates can be found in three separate categories. 

New Golf Awards For Spring

While the weather hasn’t exactly cooperated lately, there have been a few and far between days that have made me think of getting out the golf clubs.  The smell of fresh spring air, the brightness of a sunny sky and a breeze filled with the aroma of fresh cut grass could only mean one thing, golf. That’s why we’ve been updating our selection of golf trophies, golf awards and golf desk accessories.
