Mid-Year Medal Audit: 20 Minutes That Save Your Q3 📋

End of June is the natural pause point — spring sport season behind, Q3 demand ahead. A short stock-room walk this week prevents the August panic that hits unprepared teams.

Three Categories to Count

Stock medal blanks (round, hexagonal, star — how many of each in gold/silver/bronze?). Stock ribbon (which colors below 100m remaining?). Engraving plates (brass and aluminum blanks, by size). Photograph each shelf and share with your account manager. We can suggest specific top-ups before the Q3 push.

July Restock Beats August Restock

Domestic stock turnaround stays at 5 days through mid-July. By early August, school-opening orders and corporate Q3 awards push that to 10–14 days. Placing a top-up order in the first half of July gets the same materials at the same prices, two weeks faster. The calendar advantage is free.
