Choice Premiums ended 2018 on a high note, winning gold, silver, and bronze awards at the International Festivals & Events Association.
 
"We are so pleased to be honored by such a prestigious event," Lynn Lavery, Choice Premiums' president said. "We work hard to produce high-quality products that reflect growth-driven marketing strategies. Events like this let us know we are accomplishing just that."
 
One of the biggest wins was a gold award in the Best Pin or Button category for the Crown of Flowers pin. This pin was both designed and produced by Choice Premiums.

"Since it is a flagship item for the festival, it was important to create something that was unique and memorable," Lavery said. "The Cherry Blossom is well known for its pageants, which provide wonderful opportunities for its winners. We decided to highlight this part of the festival given its significant community impact. It's a great feeling to have that hard work honored. "

Other awards include a silver award in the Best Sponsor Gift for highball glasses, a bronze award in the Best Other Merchandise for GA state-shaped cutting boards, and another bronze award in the Best New Merchandise category for growlers.  This is the second year in a row that Choice Premiums has won awards for its products at this event.
 
"When executing these sorts of projects, we focus on the big picture," Lavery said. "Although we can pretty much put a logo on anything, our goal is to create something that has impact and longevity. We want to make sure our client is remembered."
