You bet! While this may not sound like the typical gift to find under the tree on Christmas morning, we at CeremonialSupplies.com have this month had the pleasure of fulfilling 2 very special orders for groundbreaking shovels, one going to Madison, and another one going to Atlanta, that we thought we'd share with our clients and followers because we found them to be a thoughtful way to communicate a grand event like a groundbreaking ceremony. Groundbreaking shovels in Georgia for the Holidays is just how these entrepreneurs decided to inform others about a construction planned for the New Year. Here's their story:

After owning and growing their insurance company for 17 years out of the same location in Madison, Georgia the husband-wife duo team of insurance entrepreneurs Luke and Beatriz knew it was time to build their own office space. The search for a convenient location was intense and the outcome not at all what they expected. Speaking with business associates, Luke decided the benefits of constructing their own building couldn't be surpassed! This way the company would have the space and all the extra amenities created when people build for themselves, and there would be plenty of space to sublease and provide an additional stream of revenue. Luke knew his wife would fully support the idea and he wanted this to be a Christmas Day surprise. Immediately Luke went to work on finding a jeweler that would make a gold, miniature groundbreaking shovel bracelet charm, and an online retailer a for full size, commemorative, ceremonial groundbreaking shovel. With a simple online search, voila! CeremonialSupplies.com and our varied selection of groundbreaking shovels for first sod-cutting ceremonies came up and Luke first sent us an email and we quickly matched the special presentation idea he had in mind for his wife with our Golden VIP mirror shovel, (matching the mini groundbreaking golden shovel charm), customized on the blade with a special message inscription. There were photos of 3 different land locations that Luke was considering, and together with the shovel and a gold color hard hat, the photos were featured in one of our beautifully designed display cases that held the sod-cutting shovel, with room to feature the photographs and even a customized hard hat to match the groundbreaking shovel! The stunning final product was wrapped in holiday color plaid paper and placed under the tree ready for Beatriz to unwrap on Christmas morning and decipher the wonderful surprise!

Atlanta, Georgia is a city filled with movers and shakers - people who are always on the go, especially with the construction boom being experienced by Atlanta and its suburbs! There seem to be more new businesses popping up all over the beautiful southern city and the holidays just add to the excitement and cheer of a new year that will bring new beginnings. Tiphareth Press will be breaking first ground in rural Atlanta and the official invitations will be going out over the holidays in scroll style invitations pinned with a mini sized golden groundbreaking shovel lapel pin. The invitation informs the bearer to wear the lapel pin at the ceremony for a special recognition and prize. The holidays are perfect to send out invitations and make official announcements of planned events such as a first sod-cutting ceremony, but regardless what time of the year you plan the big event, count on CeremonialSupplies.com for the best online selection of products and tools to take your groundbreaking event to the next level!

Holidays Are Perfect For A Groundbreaking Teaser!

You've been planning for the right time and the wheels have been turning like crazy this year, and now it's December! What can you do to continue to maintain excitement for your groundbreaking project, and tie in with the holidays? Here's how some Florida businesses have used the holidays to keep spreading the word:

Miami accounting firm Shayra Barros Accounting knew they'd be fully operational in their new location by the next tax season, so when the holidays came around, one way the firm maintained everyone's interest in the upcoming groundbreaking of the company was by sending miniature groundbreaking shovel pins, placed inside a small gift box that held a plated inscription from the accounting firm, and wrapped in Shayra Barros Accounting logo with holiday silver and blue decoration. The miniature groundbreaking shovels were a holiday hit with clients, and when the time of the groundbreaking event came around, the miniature groundbreaking shovel pin was worn by many guests at the actual groundbreaking ceremony, and those attendees who wore the golden groundbreaking shovel pin, received a special gift.

South Florida's thriving communities all boast their own chambers of commerce. These consortiums of strong, Miami based businesses and entrepreneurs are continuously holding groundbreaking events, grand openings, and other such commemorative ceremonies within their respective associations. One particular savvy Miami chamber decided to purchase a Golden VIP Mirror groundbreaking shovel, complete with its own sod-cutting shovel stand, and dressed with matching gold color hard hat and a giant golden bow and placed next to the Christmas tree, ready to be gifted to the first business to hold a groundbreaking ceremony during the upcoming New Year. This is a great way to maintain business related momentum and offer incentives to growing firms.
