5 Gift and Marketing Ideas for Museums from Classic Legacy Custom Gifts

08/25/2011 By

What do you suggest for my museum?   That is the question we are asked often.  Our experience in working with museums has provided us with feedback and the knowledge of what works.   These are suggestions that will help market your museum.

1. Promote Your Art with Gifts

It may seem obvious but your art is what your museum is known for …….use it!    We work with museum gift shops and it is important that gifts that showcase the artwork of the museum be available for your members and visitors.    I know that when I visit a museum I want to purchase a memento.   It should reflect the art of the museum.   The business card holder that Classic Legacy produced for The Biltmore features a painting that is in their collection titled, The Waltz.  This gift is not only beautiful but it is useful to hold business cards, money, and credit cards.     Classic Legacy  needs a digital image and then we can show you what your art will look like on any Classic Legacy custom gift.

2.  Celebrate Special Events with Art

Museums are all about history.  History is important and museums realize that.   Use your art to celebrate special occasions and anniversaries of your museum.   This Christmas ornament that we produced for Belle Meade Plantation features a painting of a horse named Iroquois who won many races including the English Derby.  The original painting is owned by Belle Meade and these Christmas ornaments are a favorite gift that is sold in their gift store.

3.  Share Your Art During Fun Events

Many museums have wine tasting parties and auctions to raise funds for their museums.   Your artwork can be used to attract interest and create good memories.  Our wine coasters are made of marble.  We can print any image including your original art on the marble.  They are perfect for both cold and hot drinks.

4.  Thank Museum Donors with your Art

It is important to thank museum donors and a gift with the artwork from your museum is perfect.   This bottle stopper was used as a thank you and the sponsor’s name was printed on the back of the stopper.   The stopper is a gift that is appreciated because it will be used again and again.

How to Create Custom Gifts for Your Corporation, Resort, or Hotel

05/31/2011 By

 

Classic Legacy specializes in custom gifts.   We are experts at helping corporate businesses,  resorts,  and hotels create truly wonderful custom gifts.   Our gifts include personal accessories, wine accessories, and gifts for your home. Let us walk you through the steps:

  1. Email us your Logo.   The file type that we most often use is a high-resolution jpg image.   It could however be a Photoshop file or Vector image.   This is the logo that The Roosevelt Hotel recently emailed us.

  2. Let us know what types of gifts would best fit your corporation, hotel, or resort.   The Roosevelt Hotel does well with our wine related gifts such as this bottle stopper.

  3. We then send you a screen sample of how a Classic Legacy  gift will look with your  logo.  Screen samples are FREE!     We will always share with you the latest trends and ideas.   This is for instance our new purse mirror.  I really think this is a great gift and useful also!

  4. You  approve the screen sample…..or give us suggestions to improve on the design.   When all design work is perfect we begin production.    Our minimum order for custom design is only 24 pieces!   If you order at least 60 pieces there is no set up fee.    This photo frame is another favorite gift for  corporations, hotels and resorts that we serve.

  5. Production time is usually about 3 weeks once the design is approved.   We have found that once we become a partner with a hotel or resort that they continue to re-order our gifts.   They are unique, useful and a beautiful memento of great times!   Our new faux leather money clips like this one are a wonderful and useful gift.

Custom Gifts help Achieve the WOW Experience

04/28/2011 By

The WOW experience is important to customers.   This is the time of changing retail.   Custom Gifts are a wonderful vehicle to achieve this goal.   Classic Legacy clients have found these trends to be true……Customers:

  1. Enjoy participating in the shopping experience.    More and more the customer wants a say in the design of the product.   Think about examples such as choosing what ingredients go in your gourmet coffee or choosing a  monogram for clothing……or being able to create a custom gift with your company logo.   We just shipped 60 custom stoppers to NYC webstore for their client who was hosting a trip to Spain.  The customer participated by providing this image and we were able to create a unique and memorable gift.

    Made in Spain Minnesota Life Bottle Stopper

  2. Seek Exclusivity.   Because of unlimited selection and having that feeling of too many choices   customers often desire exclusive gifts.  When I work with a new client and one of the first things they often  asked is; “How many other retailers in my area carry Classic Legacy products?”   I respond honestly and say we have an open line  but our custom  gift line  would be perfect to create exclusive gifts.   The Hotel Del Coronado exclusive custom Classic Legacy photo frame is a best seller.

  3. Expect Stellar Customer Service.   We value customer service also and realize that by helping you provide special products and services we are all winners!   Borsheims Jewelry Store recently commissioned Classic Legacy to create this custom notepad for the Berkshire Hathaway Shareholder’s.    With our short turn around time to create custom gifts Classic Legacy helps you provide excellent customer service.

  4. Want Sensory Experiences.  I had not really thought of this until it was confirmed to me when I read the book “The New Rules of Retail”  by Lewis and Dart.    The authors describe this as the neurological experience that keeps the customer coming back to your store …..and they remember that  special smell, wonderful sight, pleasant music, or tasty treat.   When I think of memories like this I think of The Peabody and Lansky’s at The Peabody.    This marble coaster helps me remember all the fond memories I’ve had there……seeing the ducks, smelling the flowers, and hearing the music.

    We are introducing  a new category this spring…….Custom Cuff Links. These are going to be a hit!   I told one buyer “Cuff Links are coming back!”…….his reply was “They have never gone away.”….I’m glad!   Custom cuff links will also help create that sensory experience.

Custom Gifts for Golf Tournaments by Classic Legacy

04/06/2011 By

Golf professionals source gifts for golf tournaments. Many golfers end up receiving the same type of gifts year after year.   Classic Legacy is solving that problem by offering unique gifts for golfers.   These are gifts that are useful and will be remembered.    We are pleased to serve country clubs, resorts, and hotels with our golf theme gifts.   Our ability to offer custom gifts with the logo of the club or resort is a bonus!   Some examples of our recent projects for golf clients include the following:

  1. Custom Money Clip for Shoal Creek Country Club in Birmingham, Al. is a wonderful gift.   To create a money clip similar to  this you just need to provide us a high-resolution jpg image and we will be able to create a “screen sample” and show you how your image will look.

  2. Custom Marble Coasters for Ponte Vedra Resort in Ponte Vedra, FL. and Toscana Country Club in California were favorites with the buyers.     Ponte Vedra Resort has so many beautiful images it was hard to choose which ones to use!   This is their signature entrance.   Notice how we also included their logo in the photo.   Toscana chose to use their logo and this is very effective also.   This marble coaster will be used often for either hot or cold drinks.   Each time a golfer uses this they will remember Ponte Vedra and Toscana Country Club.

    3. Custom Marble Bottle Stoppers are a favorite.  We are honored to be providing the gifts this year for the Todeschini Memorial Golf Tournament.  Craig Todeschini was a New York state trooper who died in the line of duty.   The proceeds from this tournament go toward a scholarship fund.   We salute the family and volunteers that make this possible.

    The Ponte Vedra logo on the marble stopper is also a great option.

     

    4. Custom Wine Carriers with Corporate Logos will be remembered.    This wine carrier was designed for an Insurance Group outing.   Remember it could have your corporate logo!

    5.  Flask sets are great custom gifts also.   This flask is one from our open line.   The image is of a vintage golfer……….and of course we could create a custom logo medallion for you and insert it on the flask.   The set includes the flask, 4 cups, and a funnel in a wonderful presentation box.

    6.  Bottle Stoppers with Golf Quotes are a fun way to remember good times.  Just think “Life is a Game, Golf is Serious!

You Don’t have to be Berkshire Hathaway to Create Custom Gifts

03/26/2011 By

We are so proud to be commissioned by Berkshire Hathaway for the third year to create custom gifts for their shareholders meeting this Spring, 2011.   Warren Buffet’s image again graces the charm on the custom  bottle stopper.   This year the theme is “Planes, Trains, and Automobiles”.   Look how our graphic artist made Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger into pilots!

Berkshire Hathaway also has a “BRK” logo that is really sophisticated.   They asked us to create this custom notepad.   We found the perfect grosgrain ribbon to wrap around the paper for a wonderful presentation.

Warren Buffett became a Cowboy….at least on a Classic Legacy Custom Gift

02/24/2011 By

Warren Buffett  of  Berkshire Hathaway Corporation is well known for his excellent investments and his quality companies.   Classic Legacy has been commissioned  for three years to create custom gifts for the Shareholder’s Meeting of Berkshire Hathaway.     The 2009 Shareholder’s Meeting had a theme of “Cowboy”.    We were supplied a cartoon image of Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger…..and we said we can make them into cowboys!?….we think!

Our wonderful, graphic artist, Beth, used her imagination and created one of my favorite custom medallions.    Notice how the ties are now bolo ties and of course the cowboy hats are great.   The colors were even changed to brown and blue for a western look.    This is how we made Warren Buffett into a cowboy.
