Trophy Donation Drive for Children’s Cancer Awareness

According to the Children’s Cancer Research Fund, every single day in the United States 43 families hear these words – “your child has cancer.”

While many people know that October is Breast Cancer Awareness month, few know that Children’s Cancer Awareness Month is celebrated –just one month prior – September to raise awareness about pediatric cancer research.

In honor of this month, Holmes Custom has begun a Holmes Cares Trophy Donation Drive. We are asking the community to donate old or unused trophies. We will then be recycling the trophies and replacing the award plates with ‘Last Chemo’ to be donated to our neighbors at Dreams Come True of Jacksonville, Inc.

Last Chemo Trophies

Dreams Come True of Jacksonville

Dreams Come True is a non-profit organization started by Thomas R. McGehee. The organization inspired by McGehee’s friendship with George Lee, a 17-year-old boy with cystic fibrosis. McGehee learned of George’s love for golf and arranged for the boy to play with Fred Couples in the Pro-Am of the The Players Championship (TPC). Fred Couples gave George his driver. A year later, George passed away and was laid to rest with the prized driver.

Following these events, McGehee and his friends started the Dreams Come True, a locally-based non-profit organization out of Jacksonville, FL dedicated to granting the dreams of children with life-threatening illness. Since 1984, the organization has fulfilled the dreams of over 3,500 children in North Florida and South Georgia.

Now, we at Holmes Custom are working with our neighbors to assist them in caring for those fighting childhood cancer. As an organization, we are passionate about taking an active role in local community causes. For updates on our local community involvement, check us out on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

Where To Donate

We invite the community to participate in the Holmes Cares Trophy Donation Drive.

If you are interested in donating, you can donate your old or unused trophies by bringing them by our office at 2021 St Augustine Rd, Jacksonville, FL 32207 during our regular business hours  from Monday-Friday from 9:30 AM-4:30 P.M.

If you are unable to make it to the Holmes Custom location, The McInnis Company, CPAs is also assisting in collecting donated trophies at 2015 Park Ave Suite 3, Orange Park FL 32073.

We will be removing the award plates on your trophies and replacing these with new plates reading “Last Chemo”. The trophies will then go straight to Dreams Come True.

For those who would like to contribute but have no trophies to donate, the Dreams Come True 5k coming up on September 29th and they can register and donate on their website.

You can also participate by sharing this campaign with your neighbors.

Gift Ideas for your New Years Eve Host

How will you be ringing in the New Year this December 31st? If you’ll be celebrating with your family or friends at someone’s house, don’t forget to consider the time and effort that goes into planning a party. From invitations to food and beverages, planning an amazing New Years Eve bash is no easy task. While hosts enjoy having their loved ones around on such an important day and are happy to play the role, be sure show them just how grateful you are with a small gift. We’ve put together a few of our favorite NYE party host gift ideas to make finding the perfect present easy!

  • Custom Cutting Boards

If your party host is the foodie of your family or friend group, give them a personalized glass or wooden cutting board. This thoughtful yet practical gift is something they can use on both a daily basis and when entertaining guests.

  • Personalized Beer Mugs

A custom beer mug is a “thank you” gift your host will be able to use right away. Bring along their favorite beer and pour them a cold one in their new mug just in time for the ball to drop.

  • Beer Growlers

Is your New Years Eve host a craft beer enthusiast? If they know the difference between saaz and crystal hops, they definitely are. So what better way to thank them than with a custom beer growler?

  • Monogrammed Coasters

Coasters are another great gift that your host can use every time they throw a party or even a small gathering. Whether they love modern, feminine designs, just got hitched, or are an eligible bachelor, there’s a coaster designed with everyone in mind!

  • Personalized Wine Glasses

Does your host love a good glass of wine or champagne? Choose from a clever, funny saying or personalize it with their initials. When it’s time to cheers at midnight, they’ll sip their champagne from their new favorite glass.

  • Custom Wine Bottle Bags

This gift is also great for wine lovers! Choose from a variety of different colors and monogram designs, then pair it with their favorite bottle of wine.

After the ball drops and the new year begins, many of us are working towards our resolutions. No matter how your host defines success, help them reach their goals in the new year with a motivational sign.

  • Custom Photo Gifts

A great photograph is a gift that will always be cherished, no matter who your recipient is. If your host is your close friend, give them a custom photo gift of the two of you that will remind them of your cherished friendship, or use one of their beautiful family portraits.

Not only is planning a party often time-consuming, it can also be expensive. No matter what you choose to bring your host, be sure to let them know you appreciate their hard work and your invitation with a thoughtful gift.

Have a Happy New Year and a prosperous 2018!

The Business of Branding: Fundamentals & Branding on a Budget

Ultimately, branding is about creating and maintaining an image. The great news is that this can be done on a budget. The main objective is to stay consistent, all the way from your social media presence to your product presentation and packaging.

Whether you choose a simple yet memorable color scheme and logo that carries over from your online to offline presence, or you have a unique logo that speaks for itself, there are simple ways you can keep your image consistent to achieve the brand identity your business needs.

Today, in our The Business of Branding series, we will discuss five fundamental things you can do to brand your business in an affordable way.

1. Establish an online identity and stay loyal to your color scheme, imagery and diction. When designing your website, even if it is a small, single page website that gives information about your company, remember to adhere to a cohesive color and font scheme, and write in a voice that is true to your brand and culture. Take every small opportunity to make your message and imagery cohesive. Can’t afford a website? Be sure you are present on social media channels that reach your target audience. From creating hashtag campaigns to sending out tweets, there are simple ways to maintain your identity online.

It is key to remember who your target audience is! Use your unique identity and perspective to speak to this audience directly. Don’t get overwhelmed creating your online messaging by trying to reach the wrong audience.

2. Be consistent in your presentation. In today’s digital world, much of your correspondence may begin online, and must be cohesively merged into your real world communication. When it comes to real-life, tangible materials, always remember to incorporate your voice, color scheme, logo and other important elements that are found on your website and social media profiles.

If you’re selling T-Shirts from a brick and mortar shop as well as online, wrap orders in branded tissue paper and bags. If you don’t have the budget to create custom packaging materials for your brand, order a logo stamp. Logo stamps can include not only your logo, but other information including your name, location and website URL.

The objective is to never leave out details that bring customers back to your store or your website. The more a customer comes in contact with your logo, colors and messaging, the more likely they are to remember your brand. This sounds elementary, but when things get busy it’s easy to forget. A cost-effective logo stamp can be used in many ways, from branding your shopping bags to stamping letterhead.

3. Find ways to evolve your brand over time. In order to stay fresh, interesting and ultimately alive, a brand must be able to continue to communicate with its target audience in new ways. There are many fun ways you can keep people interested in what your brand has to say and sell.

From hashtag campaigns to giveaways and contests, social media has made it much more possible for brands to stay versatile. Let’s be honest, people live on their smartphones. Remember this the next time you’re struggling with ideas about how to reach your customer. Find out what your customers care about and build messaging around this.

4. Solve tech issues that may affect your ability to reach your audience online. This sounds complicated, but it can be as simple as making sure your text is in a readable font, or your contest page is view-able on a mobile phone.

Most businesses have a website that is the cornerstone of their communication with customers, so if you do, make sure technical issues like page load times and readability aren’t holding you back. People pay attention to these details, and if they have a bad experience with your web page, they are likely to remember and not return.

5. Be present. Even though people live on their smartphones, they still like to see the faces behind a brand, whenever possible. Make sure you’re in the know about trade shows, concerts, events and other real world opportunities to interface with your target customer. This is a great way to merge online and offline communication as well.

If most of your audience knows your brand online, through Facebook or Instagram, they may revel in the opportunity to engage with you in real life via a pop up shop, contest or meet and greet. On the other hand, real world meet-ups like these are also good for meeting new customers to send to your online experience!

Branding can be overwhelming and oftentimes elusive. When it becomes a struggle to come up with new ideas, or to keep your image recognizable and consistent, it helps to revert back to the fundamentals, like what we’ve discussed in today’s blog. Branding is an ongoing and vital part of business and it includes many aspects.

Fundamentally, however, effective branding involves consistent use of color, fonts, voice, your logo, packaging and presentation, and includes providing real world interaction that merges your online and offline identity. There are ways to reach your customer and stay within your budget!

7 Employee Gift Ideas for the Holiday Season

The holiday season is quickly approaching! For many industries, that means the busiest time of the year is here and businesses will be  working extra hard to keep up with the demand. Whether your company is hiring seasonal employees or your year-round employees will be working longer hours, it’s important that the hard work and dedication doesn’t go unnoticed.

The holidays are a time to show our gratitude towards those around us, and your employees are no exception. There are many ways to show your employee appreciation, from throwing a holiday party for your whole team to gift giving. Here are some of our favorite business holiday gifts ideas to show your employees just how thankful you are to have them on your team!

1. Business Card Holders

Do your employees go to conferences and other external meetings? Do they enjoy going out and mingling with other professionals? Give your team members something classy to carry around their business cards in! These days, making connections means everything. A personalized business card holder is a great way to help your team members make a powerful first impression.

2. Travel Coffee Mugs

Pretty much everyone loves a good cup of coffee, but we don’t always love when our hot cup turns cold, or iced coffee gets warm. A custom travel coffee mug will give your employees an easy way to bring their coffee into work with them and make sure it stays at their preferred temperature. Personalize the outer sleeve with either your employee’s initials, or make them all uniform by adding the company logo.

 

3. Luggage Tags

Do your employees travel often for work? More and more companies are requiring work travel, and whether your team members take a trip twice a year or every month, you want to make sure their trip goes as smoothly as possible. To help add ease to their travels, give your employees personalized luggage tags so they’ll always be able to quickly identify their bags.

4. Fun Desk Plates

We all love a little desk decor. Our work space is our home-away-from-home, and it’s important we feel comfortable while we’re there. A funny desk plate is a great way to keep gift giving light and fun. We love trendy desk plates here at Holmes Custom, so we’ve got many designs to choose from! Give your team member a desk plate that will make them laugh or keep them motivated.

5. Motivational Signs

Speaking of motivation and decor, our motivational signage is a great way to keep your team members going. Not only will it add a pop of color to their desk or office, it’ll also be a gentle, fun reminder to keep working “like a boss.”

6. Funny Coffee Mugs

There’s a coffee mug for every employee in your office within our collection of fun designs. For the coffee lovers that always seem to have a cup in their hand, order them the “Coffee Before Talkie” or “But First, Coffee” mug. There’s also an option for every Harry Potter-lover, Proud Mom or Dad, and Veteran on your team.

7. Employee Awards

If you’re throwing a holiday party, it’s always a fun idea to involve employee awards. Celebrate anniversaries and reaching sales goals, or come up with a list of funny awards. At Holmes Custom, we’ve got a huge selection of awards to choose ranging in price points and designs.

There are so many fun, creative ways to express your gratitude this holiday season. Be sure you don’t let your appreciation go unnoticed and find the perfect gift for all of your team members at Holmes Custom!

 

Welcoming Jax Beach Elementary on Manufacturing Day

At Holmes Custom, we love to give back to our Jacksonville community! One of the ways we choose to do so is by hosting an annual field trip for the Jacksonville Beach Elementary School first graders. This is a fun tradition we started in 2010, but something that made this year’s field trip even more special is it took place on Manufacturing Day! Manufacturing Day occurs on the first Friday of every October and it’s purpose is to celebrate modern manufacturing and inspire the next generation of manufacturers. As we prepared for this year’s field trip day, we knew there couldn’t have been a better day to invite these students into our Jacksonville facility.

As the school bus pulled into our parking lot early Friday morning, team members from different departments were ready in their stations to welcome the kids. From customer service to shipping, product development to production, there were hands-on stations set up throughout the building to show the students what we do here at Holmes.

We started the day off with a welcome speech by our CEO, Bryan Croft, then the kids followed him over to the “clock in” area where each student “punched in to work”. Next, they broke into groups and traveled around to the different areas. In our production department, they learned how name tags, buttons, stickers and stamps are made, and at the end of each activity they got a fun gift to bring home.

They also visited our Marketing department to learn about product development and come up with creative ideas for products of their own, from coffee mugs to Halloween stamp designs. Our customer service team taught the students about how we prioritize our customers needs to ensure they’re always happy, and about some of the other products we offer on our websites. In the shipping department, they got to see all the different corners of the country we ship to on a daily basis, and of course, left with a few of our signature tootsie rolls!

“What started out as an opportunity to help my daughters’ school with a field trip to our office has really evolved into a fun event for us and the students,” said CEO Bryan Croft. “This one day a year when we open up the office for 80 or so first graders, we try to teach them what it’s all about here, but also work on what they’re learning in school. We teach them the importance of spelling correctly and taking your time as haste makes waste. We also talk about team building and brain storming new ideas for products.”

Every year there’s at least a few students completely fascinated by some of the manufacturing jobs we offer our community here at Holmes Custom. We pride ourselves on the products we make everyday, but to see how excited these children get about our company is a completely different joy of it’s own.  We can’t wait to welcome the next group of first graders in 2018!

#Holmies Go to Haiti! 2017

Many things have changed for our small business over the past year, like our continuous growth and the evolution from Holmes Stamp & Sign to Holmes Custom, but one thing that will never change is the #Holmies’ annual mission trip to Haiti. This year, a group of ten men, including CEO Bryan Croft, Production Supervisor Jesse DeVaughn, and IT Manager Daniel Kellogg, raised $26,000 and collected other nonmonetary donations to bring to the people of Haiti. Their yearly adventure is supported by a nonprofit organization named Haiti180 that organizes mission trips, just like theirs, throughout the year every year. Learn more about Haiti180 and last year’s trip here.

Day 1:

Croft said this year’s trip started similarly to his previous five, with a full day of travel, beginning in Ft. Lauderdale, FL. and ending at Kay Mari, the orphanage the mission trips support. Here they were welcomed by the children’s caretakers and what seemed like millions of stars. After 17 hours of travel, the group headed to bed to rest up for the next day.

Day 2:

In the morning, bananas and coffee prepared them for a full day of work. Each year there is a main task the group focuses on, and this year they worked on the construction of the teacher’s housing. Roughly two miles from Kay Mari is a school. This school’s educators are responsible for teaching the 35 children of Kay Mari and the children of the surrounding village. Haiti180 believes that by educating these children, they are investing in Haiti’s future leaders. So when the team returned this year, it was their mission to construct a place these educators could call home.

Day two was spent moving truck loads of river stones to the location of the teachers’ housing and collecting roughly 700 gallons of water for cement mixing. The rocks and cement combined would later create the foundation of the housing, making them a huge step closer to the finished project. After swimming and bathing in a nearby river, they enjoyed chicken, rice, green beans, and french fries for dinner – a meal prepared by the grateful caretakers of Kay Mari.

Day 3:

On day three, half of the team stayed back to continue construction on the teachers’ house. They collected various elements of the house, like cactus to create a fence, and wood for the cement forms. They also worked to fix one of the roads that was severely damaged in Hurricane Irma. The village’s main road was washed out, causing anyone traveling along the road to get stuck in the mud. So next, they gathered broken boulders and used them to fill in the holes on the road.

The other half of the team went into Port au Prince with two primary missions. Their first goal was to work with a provider in Haiti to get a consistent internet connection to the village.  This is a challenge, as you can imagine, and will take some hard work and time.  But the internet was a game changer for our small business because for 40 years we serviced only select areas of Florida. When our small business dove into the e-commerce side of things, it expanded our opportunities for servicing customers on a national and even international level. Once we were able to service more customers, we were able to create more jobs for our community.

“Bringing internet connection to our village could be a game changer,” said Croft. “We could connect the medical clinic to help provide medical services, connect the school to provide better education for the kids, and finally connect to the village to improve the economy.”

They also worked with a logistics provider to get containers of supplies shipped from the east coast of the United States to Pour au Prince. From Port au Prince, the supplies would be delivered to the orphanage, creating a supply chain for the needs of the village.

After each group completed what they wanted to get done for the day, the team headed back to Kay Mari to relax for the evening and spend time with the children.

Day 4:

After two days of labor-intensive work, the team planned for a day of light work around the orphanage and visiting the homes of the surrounding villagers. Their first stop was to visit John Simone, a man who was left paralyzed from the neck down after a motorcycle accident a few years ago. When they first met John last year, he was in very bad shape and had a very low chance of survival. While his injuries remain very serious, he is now cared for daily by the caretakers of Kay Mari and the people of the village, and his survival rate has increased dramatically.

They continued their home visits, bringing them food, clothing, and other essentials. Along the way they met a family with a rare disease that makes it impossible to walk. There are a few cases of this disease in Haiti, but because of the limited resources they have available, no one has found a cure. The team hoped that by gathering information from the family, they could return later to the United States to consult a doctor to see what could be done for this family and others like them.

After delivering 28 bags of cement to the teacher housing, they made their way back to Kay Mari and were welcomed with BBQ chicken, rice, peas, corn, beans and other vegetables. They all agreed it was the best meal they had while in Haiti. The children gathered for chapel, and the team enjoyed listening to them sing familiar yet foreign songs.

Day 5:

Day five was spent transporting more broken boulders and continuing to repair the washed out road. After two more truckloads, the road began to look significantly better and could now be driven on.

Near Kay Mari is what they call the Elderly Home. Originally, this housing was developed as a hospice center for the elders of the village that could no longer be cared for. Often times in Haiti, families must choose to care for either their children or the elders of the family because they cannot afford to care for both. But the health of many of the members of the Elderly Home has improved since they’ve moved there, partially because they are visited frequently by the children of Kay Mari. They’ve said the children look to them as their grandparents, and this has increased morale for both the children and the elders.

Day 6:

The final day of the team’s trip was spent traveling back to their various parts of the country. For our #Holmies, they left the orphanage around 5:15 a.m., and finally landed back in Jacksonville, FL. at 11:15 p.m.

For many of the group, it was not their first trip to Haiti and certainly won’t be their last. Each trip helps the children of Kay Mari, their caretakers, their educators as well as the surrounding village to be a step closer to self-sustaining. Haiti180’s largest project over the past few years has been building a medical facility for the people, and the team was thrilled to report it’s nearly complete. Medical equipment is officially on its way to the facility. From the orphanage, to the Elderly’s Home, teacher housing to the medical facility – none of this would be possible without Haiti180 and its team of support.

The #Holmies’ Holiday Party

Company culture is very important to us here at Holmes Stamp & Sign. At the end of every year, right around the holidays, we all get together to celebrate the year. Our Holiday parties are always a blast! It’s a time when we can all forget about work for a little while and have some well-deserved fun.

This year, we celebrated in style at local brewery here in Jacksonville called Intuition. Our dinner was catered by a local restaurant, Black Sheep, and it was delicious! Surrounded by friends and family, we ate, drank and laughed. We played corn hole, ping pong and video games. We even exchanged presents.

To make things interesting, we played a game called White Elephant while exchanging our gifts. It starts with a bunch of wrapped, unlabeled gifts and a hat full of everyone’s names. As names are drawn from the hat, those who are chosen select their gift. The best part is – your gifts can be stolen from those selected after you, so you never know what you’ll end up with. Everyone walked away with something great – from hand-mixers with hidden prizes, to bottles of liquor.

At the end of the night, it wasn’t about the gifts we’d received or the drinks we’d drank or even the food we’d eaten (which is shocking coming from the #Holmies). At the end of the night, it was about the laughs we’d shared, not just during that evening, but throughout the whole year.

Being a part of the Holmes’ culture is more than just working a 9 to 5 and earning a paycheck – it’s about something much bigger. It’s about knowing you can go to work and enjoy your day because you know you matter to those you’re surrounded by. 2016 was another successful year here at Holmes Stamp & Sign and we can’t wait to see what 2017 has in store for us.
