Customer service skills are an absolute requirement working at Glassical Designs. We pride ourselves on treating people the way we would like to be treated. Respect, understanding, knowledge and compassion are all important factors in our customer service process.
If you are in need of assistance with possible ideas for crystal or glass awards and are having trouble deciding on exactly what you want, it is our pleasure to compile options and send them over to you. There are many days when the majority of my time is spent simply helping customers decide on an award style
Since I came to Glassical Designs in 2011 I have learned the true meaning of customer service. These days many businesses see genuine customer service as a luxury they cannot afford, but that is not at all the case with Glassical Designs. One specific instance I remember was back in November I got a call from a woman who sounded a bit frantic. She had a huge company event coming up in a week and half and one of the many things she was responsible for was ordering awards for the event. Now being that it was the first time her company had ever held an event such as this she really needed t
Just got out of a production meeting and the feedback I got from our engravers regarding the new film we're using was terrific. Our new film resist allows us to achieve much greater detail and an even deeper depth while maintaining the quality of the image. That, coupled with the film positives produced from our new high performance printer is allowing Glassical Designs to produce the best awards we've ever made. While we've always had extremely high standards, this new equipment really impresses and has raised the bar for great looking awards even higher.
Over the years we have had the privilege of working with many quality employees. I must say that the staff we have now is by far the best group of employees in all the 27 years I have owned the company. In 2011 my husband and I had to take a 3 month break to tend to our teenager facing a major surgery. Our employees handled everything for us and we came back to a better business then when we left. Talk about taking ownership! Glassical Designs actually grew during that time period which is a testimony to their dedication and loyalty. While we pride our
I often speak with some of our clients who have done acrylic awards in the past and I tend to hear that they don't want to do crystal awards because they are too expensive. This is actually an untrue statement and many of our customers are surprised to hear that we can usually create a much more attractive crystal award for the same price they are paying for an acrylic award. Maybe you are thinking, "what is the difference between acrylic and crystal"? Acrylic awards are made from molded plastic. Because plastic does not transmit light like glass or crystal, they do NOT spa
As owner and President of Glassical Designs for over 27 years I have had the privilege to design and create unique glass and crystal awards. As much as I enjoy designing artwork to fit an event or corporate theme, nothing inspires me more then to design a new art glass award. 16 years ago I was faced with the challenge of finding an artglass perfume bottle for a large west coast customer who would be holding their event in Hawaii. They required 200 pieces as room gifts and wanted an ocean theme. After spreading the word of my need I met with a local art glass arti
Every employee wants to be recognized and rewarded for their hard work. I have been working in this industry for over 6 years and it seems like I always hear from our customers how important it is to their employees to receive an award at the end of the year or be recognized often. There are so many ways to reward your employees and giving them something tangible they can keep forever is a great idea. Rewarding your employees gives them a reason to push forward and move on. In these tough economic times there have been many lay offs resulting in the staff that is left to take on more res
I just wanted to say that the tombstones turned out beautiful! Thank you and all the others for such great service and patience! We will be ordering more, soon!
