Displaying a Groundbreaking Ceremonial Shovel

Groundbreaking ceremonies usually call for special ceremonial shovels that have a D-shaped handle. This type of handle is decorative and allows for the person holding the shovel to be able to pose for photos, making the customized blade, or head of the shovel pop up clearly for a picture, or for others to see. Using a ceremonial shovel stand display is essential for these occasions because it can be used to hold the dressed ceremonial shovel before it is used in the groundbreaking, and after; keeping it always on display and for the more practical reason of tidiness and organization. Fully dressed groundbreaking shovels on their display stands can be presented with an event banner to create a unique stage for the event’s official photo. For a more sophisticated look, you can also add stanchions, rope, and a carpet runner. The crowd posts also help maintain social distance and keep the traffic of people flowing steadily. The event carpet helps designate an area such as the entrance, and the photo stage. The step and repeat backdrop will clearly identify the name of the company and any other collaborator to the project.

customized shovel can include not just the logo or brand on the shovel blade, but also an engraved plaque on the stem that can have the name and title of the person who will be using it. Each shovel displayed on its own stand and positioned in front or near the customized step and repeat backdrop ensures brand recognition for photographs and videos or for media use if it will be present. For a classy presentation, use a ceremonial shovel display stand. It will be helpful during the event and is a perfect way for an executive to display his/her groundbreaking shovel in their office or conference room. You can also use the shovel stand strictly for the ceremony and then place the ceremonial shovel in a special display case that makes a great presentation gift to the VIP wielding the groundbreaking tool. Ceremonialsupplies.com offers economical display stands, and beautifully polished shovel display cases in elegant cherry wood, walnut, and other tones.
