Should you customize your acrylic financial tombstone?
The answer here is always yes. Creating a custom tombstone gives you so much room for highlighting the work that you’ve done. Whether you highlight the deal, or simply the project name, you’ll want your recipients to look over at their acrylic deal toy and remember exactly what deal it was they received that for.
A few ways to customize your acrylic deal toy:
- Logo – It’s always a safe bet to go with logo-themed designs.
But take it to the next level: as mentioned earlier, you can go as far as having the exact Pantone color of a logo mixed into the color of the acrylic. At our office, we have a color specialist ready to mix any color you desire.
- Project Name – have an interesting project name for this transaction?
Let’s create some designs around that! We know sometimes the project codes/names have nothing to do with the transaction at hand, but that’s what can make this deal toy unique.
- Embed – Have an item or document that was significant throughout the deal?
Ask us about our embedment process and we’ll see if we can embed that item into acrylic for you.
- Sound or lights? These are different ways to make your acrylic financial tombstone stand out.
Ask us how you can incorporate any of the above and we’ll send you some ideas.
4 Steps to Create Your Custom Deal Toy
We’ve created a seamless 4 step process to ensure that your custom deal toy is delivered to you in a seamless fashion. Upon taking you through the 4 steps, you can expect the deal toy you envisioned to be delivered right to your doorstep.
As a foreword: our standard turnaround time is anywhere from 6-8 weeks. If you need it quicker, there are always solutions. Just let us know up front!
1. Initial Designs
The first step is to discuss your project with your designated Altrum representative. We’ll have a quick conversation with you about what you’re looking for, your team’s preferences, any deadlines you might have, quantity and budget. Then, within 48 hours, we will send you 3 initial mock-ups and quotes as a starting point.
2. Adjustments
From there, based on your team’s feedback, we like to say that you should allow yourself another 2 or so weeks to sit with the designs: allow your team members to look and give feedback. Essentially, this is your team’s approval time.
3. Prototype (optional)
While we always recommend a prototype, this part is completely optional. This would simply be item number one of your order where you can hold it, pass it around, and make sure all text and deal toy is exactly how you want it.
4. Final Delivery
After your final approval, your order will be produced within 3 weeks. We can deliver in whichever way is easiest for you: ship to an office, a closing dinner location, or individually drop ship to each recipient.
