# How Badges And Medals Keeps You Updated About Your Challenge Coin Order

Written on 23/10/2024. Posted in [Custom Challenge Coins](https://blog.badgesandmedals.com/learning-centre/tag/custom-challenge-coins) .

![Speech bubble with custom Australia Defence Force challenge coin.](https://blog.badgesandmedals.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Blog%20Pics-4.png?width=900&height=600&name=Blog%20Pics-4.png)

Ever been burned by bad communication?

You place an order and then - silence.

No updates, no idea when (or even if) your [challenge coins](https://badgesandmedals.com/challenge-coins/) will arrive… until they do.

It’s frustrating and it happens more than you'd expect in the coin-making industry, particularly when folks try to save money by buying straight from [overseas factories](https://blog.badgesandmedals.com/learning-centre/supplier-beats-buying-medals-direct).

But it doesn’t have to be that way.

At Badges And Medals, we believe customers should never be left in the dark.

From the moment you start working with us, we make sure you know exactly where your order stands. 

Our customers trust us not just for the quality of our coins, but for the high level of customer service we provide. 

And we’ve got the proof to back it up:

- **"Their customer service is excellent!"** - Royal Life Saving Western Australia.
- **"Great quality product and a responsive team that made the process super easy… It's nice knowing the timeline is always on schedule."**  - World Powerlifting.
- **"You feel like the main priority with Badges And Medals."** - Dubbo Football.

This post walks you through exactly how we keep you updated, using real emails we’ve sent to our customers. 

By the end, you'll understand why working with us isn't just about delivering great challenge coins - it's also about delivering peace of mind.

## How We Keep You In The Loop:

1. ### The initial design concept

When you reach out to us, one of the first things we do is create a free design of your challenge coin. 

We get that your coin is unique to you, and we want to take the time to develop designs that reflect that. 

Plus, it gives you a chance to see if we’re a good fit for you or your organisation without having to worry about chipping into your budget.

Our experienced team starts by designing an image based on your ideas. 

You don’t need to hand us a fully fleshed-out concept - a lot of clients just send us their logo and let us take the lead. 

For example, here's what the Australian Defence Force asked us:

![](https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXcp1XlOq0UbE2h50Nqc6_vV4l7CRoBbqaOaMJRcLFX17myDRXaSmi-ac1B5vaOwXhElQ5uFfYO6lnnNvR4UuO93gdIS3ltd69N0_6LBpNQiWEBS-6wWZgHs_6BfM3x8Jv-YkKKW83OwYjfEezMIE6NaeZsU?key=XEtfXCm7FfvizgTwtoyWHQ)

Once we've made the artwork, we send it your way to see what you think.

This way, you have control over the design from the very beginning.

![](https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXcvOo_J8afqfv_ZSW7QhnN7BwmyfJ6cq9nfkSMRL90ar4VhRMBPlaYHq340s0IMQtyGWtxvDC5uGlMQIlXW6wp1XTMnsmm7xZqJMJvVsMU9PSPlcU9f8NYHdx82cWsQb03--9AlJ8m8MUVnT024S7rC7P7s?key=XEtfXCm7FfvizgTwtoyWHQ)

1. ### Feedback and revisions (if needed)

If we nail the artwork in one go, then skip to the next email.

But if it’s not quite there yet, that’s perfectly fine! 

The design process is all about collaboration, and we welcome all feedback - the good, the bad, and even the ugly.

![](https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXeAk_le0EBGJKb107YCdbz1FdP-QPwlq3LeIAhCBg3GIdQO1RLo9wJR0p7C3uGfYEw2hiI85zQlqR1VKfTLctR_f7qiKxakpaTkCk-D_nt-CNvo_J79fCNELzLvmBOHKN5nhRh4GFk2Y063bWqoK3sCAs5U?key=XEtfXCm7FfvizgTwtoyWHQ)

As soon as you share your thoughts, our design team takes action.

They'll schedule a meeting together, review your suggestions, and then get to work on the changes. 

We’ll then let you know when you can expect the new concepts.

![](https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXfIxTF3AQPE_bzJx22eqIL_gb-GJe35OkVjysnhIaIMVyf-kDZ4IHePPd_w4eiqI1_QVUCIdw2sAsxfWnO906pLXJjtnQ0cjSCvieeo0oCBI4QoeedzSx5hxPtbiVgGF_fY5O-ccVbUpurcE5GsMZhxBKLY?key=XEtfXCm7FfvizgTwtoyWHQ)

Most orders only need one or two revisions. 

However, we believe in getting it right, which means we’ll revise your design as many times as you need until it’s perfect.

![](https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXfXVqGXEihnECoZQBea9_DWQTk-hU_7y2VFshr2Drkw8aVXAtgG2xcukmLM2OCzXLMdhGUyczyr-hkAaNaJ6Wq5a9ASr39h6Ke5POglcF-FbCol57elIVRYe4Zx5cOeKdb3EvvELyG718EPdd5LZJSVDFs7?key=XEtfXCm7FfvizgTwtoyWHQ)

1. ### Placing your order

Once you're happy with your design, we start making it.

But unlike some challenge coin makers (we’re looking at you, overseas factories), we don’t just go silent. 

You’ll get an update as soon as production begins telling you when we expect to send your order, so you’re not left guessing. 

And because we value accuracy as much as speed, we also make sure to double-check your delivery details.

![](https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXdqklCRnN2m3hgWUk5mHKPUkQ58sNZ7H7-qbHIm4dXzOxdWooPpLsoDMwv_qWx0BYiIJ18ryb6Swz5mjg5M9vKeFN4qig9pj5vB3pN3zSlDSH3JyuVohk5I2S_OmGGbi1LIYp_e4GI4mntmESruZx_u-nII?key=XEtfXCm7FfvizgTwtoyWHQ)

1. ### Final stages of production

About a week or two after you place your order, we will reach out to let you know where things stand and if our expected shipping date has changed. 

Why? Because the last thing we want is for you to be at your desk, wondering, "Is my order on track? Will it arrive in time for my event?" 

We want your experience with us to be as stress-free as possible, and clear communication is the key to making that happen.

![](https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXeeIIB4MkdhAmbz7o6RfFPz4E7yL7zoZssm1nSlCzUJPgv4R6GfMn0fdmNUkpQ0r9n1aWrmJbpigzbu6gDj5hw4p13nDw755kfIxZxLVZTo8T-qfEJp-u5gr-tm9vh_561U7YCEspYi0O3G6xjqKAIp26LX?key=XEtfXCm7FfvizgTwtoyWHQ)

This is also when we'll send over your[free marketing materials](https://blog.badgesandmedals.com/learning-centre/free-event-marketing-tools) if you'd like them.

Take a look at the pro challenge coin picture below as an example!

![Custom Command Warrant Officer challenge coin.](https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXc0l23ObcU7Y543Eef3sVrKjWd63bSoNdY5vL_-9K3OWvNawP2isr-XyzJnANAzFlF_7gwnjndjpqzlljZCz2jRK53NFDaInZUXXAT8Q8MTAAKX9TwHYOW4cLC5emAZpNFxOkalQWxUaFjmGlalPqHrLKMt?key=XEtfXCm7FfvizgTwtoyWHQ)

1. ### Dispatch and delivery

Now, we’ve reached the finish line. 

Your order has been packed, shipped, and is on its way to you. 

But we don’t just leave it there. 

Once your order is dispatched, we’ll send you the tracking details so you can follow its journey in real-time. 

This way, you’ll know exactly when to expect it. 

Perfect for those who are working to a tight deadline.
