PetitMe Golf Trophy

Wouldn’t it be amazing to have a 3D custom basketball trophy of your child with his face printed on it instead of a generic old metal figure like the old-fashioned ones? Our 3D-printed trophies are customized complete with the correct team uniform and colors, even with the player’s number on the front and back of the jersey too. We take care of all the details to make sure the trophy is as true-to-life as possible.
 
PetitMe Basketball Trophy, and Dance Recital or Gymnastics Trophies

Our 3D trophies are better than the old-style, boring metal ones and they are quickly becoming a popular new trend that we are proud to have pioneered within the business. Our trophies and awards come with a custom base and plaque showing all the details of the special day or achievement with your name(s), the team, league, company name, event date, a personal quote or inspirational message…. the possibilities are endless. 
 
Little League Trophy for Youth Baseball and Sports Clubs

We’ll work with you to create the perfect, custom model to be fashioned into a unique 3D-printed trophy. You will always have it to remember your child looked at that time, even more special to have it in 20 or 30 years. Imagine looking at your PetitMe trophy years later, showing it to your child to see what they looked like when they were 14-years-old and won their first tennis school championship – priceless!

3M™ Window Films are Perfect for Protecting Fine Art and Design in Homes, Galleries and Museums

3M™ Window Films help block harmful UV rays, protecting fine art and design in homes, galleries and museums. 3M Window Film helps extend the life of artwork, paintings and furnishings by reducing 99% of UV rays, the largest cause of fading. Outsmart the sun with superior protection using 3M Window Film. Sunlight can fade paintings, photographs and other valuables when unfiltered sunlight comes through windows exposing both occupants and furnishings to damaging effects of the sun, including harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays. While no film can stop fading completely, 3M films dramatically slow the progress of fading to keep your home and valuables looking beautiful longer.
 

Museums and historic registered buildings around the world count on 3M™ Window Films to help protect their valuable collections from the damaging sun. Many historic buildings are equipped with old, single-pane windows that are inefficient at blocking UV rays that can harm the building’s many historical artifacts. The challenge then, is upgrading windows while preserving the look and feel of the building. In the case of museums, galleries, and art collectors where their mission is to protect priceless, irreplaceable artifacts, and expensive works of art, minimizing the sun’s damaging UV rays is essential. In both instances, 3M Window Films offers protection from UV rays, while preserving the building’s original architecture. The film’s virtually invisible appearance helps maintain existing aesthetic looks.3M authorized dealers are proven experts in helping solve problems like issues with fading, temperature imbalances and excessive glare.

Social Media Tips From the Pros

Social Media is a critical component for any business. When you effectively and consistently use social media to promote your product(s) and/or service(s), you are creating a powerful window into your world for viewers, as well as both new and existing customers, to see how on-the-ball you are. It's your chance to impress anyone looking for what you offer at any time. Yet many businesses fail to seize this powerful opportunity to shine by not taking their company/brand's social media seriously enough. Follow these social media tips and you'll be on the road to success in no time!




Content is, and will always be King 
You have to be in it to win it! Great content has always been the key to social media success, it allows you to build brand awareness, promote your services, and find your audience. By posting diverse, high-quality content you will be sure to capture the correct audience while increasing your company/brand's visibility. Make sure your content benefits your customers. What’s in it for them? Understand what they care about and deliver content that is relevant and useful.

Check out Facebook Ads, they are HIGHLY targeted
Facebook’s Ad Manager enables you to target your audiences based on specific criteria, including Life Events. When people let their friends know about a new change in their life by adding it to their timeline, it allows you to display your ads to these people directly based on that Life Event. For example, if someone posts on their profile that they have purchased a “New Vehicle,” you can serve up ads for automobile insurance. You can also target people based on interests, recent behaviors (such as entering retirement or recently engaged), income, relationship status, education, and so on. Otherwise known in the trade as demographics and psychographics, these aspects and characteristics help you to better reach consumers who are most inclined to buy, need or want your product(s) and/or service(s).

Maintain proper channel management
Once or twice a day is a good rule of thumb for posting on the "Trinity" - Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Less than that, two to five times a week might be good – once a week if your audience is strictly B2B. Instagram works best when are consistent with your frequency – the number of posts per day is less important. 

Be human
Related to the previous tip on engaging in conversations, consider posting real time photos of your team. It shows your brand as human and approachable. This can include images of your team while working or during “bring your pet to work day,” birthday celebrations, and so on.

Be conversational
Again, related to the previous post, you should adopt a “voice” that is friendly, authentic and conversational. Don’t “hard-sell” or strong-arm your audience. Use the power of the visual to your advantage and be genuine; tell viewers what the facts are without being aggressive.

Use hashtags
Target your audience with creative use of hashtags – whether B2C or B2B. It also helps you start a conversation, and allows you to track a promotion’s success across multiple platforms.

Create infographics
Infographics are visual representations of complex information, data or knowledge presented in a clear and quickly-grasped way. Infographics are shared far more often than other content.

Be consistent
Ensure you have brand consistency across all platforms. This seems like a no-brainer, but many marketers are using different header images, logos and colors for each social media network. This has always been a big no-no, be consistent.

Stay abreast of Facebook changes
Just when you think you have your business’ Facebook Page running like a well-oiled machine, Facebook will change the rules. So stay on top of those changes by regularly.

Plan ahead
Take time to understand where your audience spends their time – for example, Snapchat is now a leading platform among teens. Create your voice or "persona" and begin building out your content calendar and gallery – including images, videos and infographics. Decide who creates content, who posts it, who engages with the audience and so on. Don’t "assume" someone on your team will take care of things, you have to delegate and designate!
