Hasty Awards

What Hasty Awards does

Hasty Awards is a privately held US supplier of recognition awards founded in 1986 and headquartered at 1015 Enterprise St, Ottawa, Kansas. The company sells medals, trophies, plaques, ribbons, pins, acrylic items, ice awards, nametags, and custom award solutions through a direct-to-consumer e-commerce storefront at hastyawards.com, supported by phone-order intake (800) 448-7714 and PO purchasing for organizational buyers. Its product portfolio spans stock and fully customizable options across more than 20 sports categories — including basketball, soccer, gymnastics, wrestling, swimming, baseball, football, volleyball, tennis, hockey, lacrosse, and emerging verticals such as Pickleball and Running — with price points ranging from $0.89 stock medals to $229.95 premium plaques and championship belts.

The underlying technology is a conventional e-commerce platform with secure payment processing, SSL encryption, and a shopping cart/checkout flow; no proprietary software, app, API, or AI/ML capabilities are disclosed. Marketing is concentrated in two channels: a sports-segmented email newsletter and the website storefront, with downloadable sport-specific catalogs (Youth, Swimming, Running, Gymnastics, Track & Field, Soccer, Volleyball, Wrestling, Pickleball) serving as additional merchandising surfaces.

Hasty Awards generates revenue through one-time product sales at unit pricing with volume discounts. Its primary customer segment is youth sports organizations (leagues, recreational leagues, AYSO, Little League, and community programs), with secondary segments in K-12 schools and club/travel teams. The company positions itself on fast turnaround, exclusive designs, and budget-friendly pricing for high-volume seasonal purchases. No funding rounds, M&A activity, management team, partnerships, or patents are disclosed; the firm appears to be a stable, self-funded operating business with 11-50 employees and no public financial reporting.
