On Site Engraving Events
On-Site Engraving Events have been very successful in building a repeat customer base and record breaking sales.
The engraving is done at the store, set up near the items to be engraved. A beautiful, flowing,
easy-to-read script is engraved, while the customer watches. A personalized name, a brief message or
a single monogram letter can be hand-engraved into crystal, glass or metal surface of nearly any product.
The engraving creates an excitement as customers watch their gift items embellished with an exquisite personalization.
A pre-sale period, allows for engraving to be offered 4-6 weeks prior to the event in order to maximum sales. The most successful On-Site Engraving Events are always those which encourage customers to pre-order.
This allows the engraver to come in and immediately start engraving on the pre-sale orders.
This creates a great deal of excitement in the store and will lead to increased sales during the Event.
The hand-engraving tool is a small hand piece, which is an ultra-high-speed air driven drill. The high pitch sound draws attention; people stop to see the activity, often making an impulse purchase due to the free engraving and exquisite personalization. A bright gold or silver color can fill in the engraved letters of colored glass, further enhancing the lettering. The filling of the engraved letters adds a minute or so to the process but the response is well worth it.
Personalized engraving is always a customer pleaser. They recognize the uniqueness of the product, knowing it will be a
one-of-a-kind gift. It is also a “locked-in” sale for the department since engraved products that have been
personalized never get returned for exchange, credit or refund.
