Using Custom Challenge Coins In Place of Traditional Business Cards
Posted by Lapel Pins Plus | Thursday March 31st, 2011 | Topic: Challenge Coins
Challenge Coins Plus recently received a customer’s request for a challenge coin that would take the place of his business cards. Rick Gibson is a lawyer who represents and advocates for U.S. soldiers once they return home from war. With challenge coins originating and having continued popularity within the military, it is fitting that he be able to present his contact information on a customized coin.
Thinking Outside of the Box
Gibson wanted the detailed information, which is found on a business card, on one side of the challenge coin. The front of this double sided gold coin clearly states Gibson’s full name, title, phone number and website address. The words along its edge help the soldiers easily identify what legal services Gibson offers.
He also wanted a symbol of American freedom on the back. What better symbol than the bald eagle with the flag behind it? We chose to use an actual photograph, which is our offset printing option, rather than a graphic drawing because we knew Gibson wanted the coin to make a realistic and bold statement.
Whether Gibson is in a military environment or running errands, one thing is for certain. He will make a huge personal statement and leave a lasting impression each and every time he places this beautiful, solid metal custom coin in prospective clients’ hands.
Leaving a Lasting and Positive Impression
This is just another way, our customer, as could other business owners, differentiates himself from others in his field. Though the concept of using challenge coins instead of business cards may be new to many companies, it comes as no surprise to Challenge Coins Plus. In fact, we encourage it.

We gladly fulfilled Mr. Gibson’s request for business card challenge coins and the end result was the customized coin you see above.
