Providing visitors to your company with nametags may not be something you’ve given much thought to. But there are two great reasons to reconsider.
First, visitor name tags allow you to distinguish invited guests from strangers wandering around your office. This adds to the security of your building and the safety of your employees.
Second, visitor nametags allow you an added opportunity to make a good impression on your company’s guests, especially if you take the time to customize each name tag. With a creative design and eye-catching text, such as “VIP” or “Honored Guest,” you can make each visitor feel special and recognized. And who doesn’t like that?
Fortunately, there are many sizes, colors, and shapes to choose from, whether you decide to go with Metal Name Tags, Plastic Engraved Name Tags, and Full Color Plastic Name Tags. We also offer a wide selection of backings, from magnets and bulldog clips to pins and lanyards.
On the flip side, making sure your visitor can identify you is just as important. If you don’t feel comfortable wearing a nametag around the office, consider a customized office door sign. Our fast turnaround time and ability to match most office decors means you can always be prepared for your guest’s arrival. Another option is engraved name plates. We offer six different styles in everything from walnut to plastic to metal, each imprinted to meet your unique needs.
The truth is, we live in an era of heightened awareness when it comes to security and safety. But that doesn’t mean we have to sacrifice the tried and true practices of conducting business face-to-face and of taking the time to meet our valued customers personally. With our customized nametags, office door signs, and name plates, we can help you continue to create and maintain a personal relationship with your clients, no matter what tomorrow brings.

Name Tags: A Must-Have Showpiece
Sure, it’s called a “name” tag. But that doesn’t mean you can’t include lots of other valuable information on it! It’s precisely this versatility that makes nametags ideal for trade shows, whether you choose to use a Metal Name Tag, Plastic Engraved Name Tag, or a Full Color Plastic Name Tag.
Studies show that while traffic density at trade shows is on the rise, the amount of time attendees spend on the show floor is decreasing. In other words, you have the opportunity to influence a great number of people, but you only have a short amount of time in which to do.
A well-designed nametag has the inherent advantage of being both easy to spot and easy to read. From the first look, it allows an attendee to address you by name, thereby establishing a more personal relationship. It can also inform the attendee of your company’s name, its primary business, and any relevant promotions depending on the information you choose to include on your nametag.
And consider this: Many attendees are there to collect information, not necessarily to stop and chat with every representative on the show floor. A nametag allows you to speak volumes without saying a word - one quick look is all it takes to convey your company’s most salient facts.
We all know that trade shows are one of the most effective b2b marketing strategies out there. After all, over 90% of attendees state that trade shows have a major impact on their buying decisions, thanks to the ability to comparison shop in real-time. Make sure your company stands out from its competitors by using customized nametags that do the talking for you.

P.S. Another great way besides name tags to spread the word about your company is with a customize lanyard imprinted with your company’s name and contact information. These can be given away as a promotional item at your booth. After all, who doesn’t like free stuff?Friday, November 20, 2009
Location, location, location!
When you wear a nametag, you want it to have the greatest impact possible. Otherwise, why wear one!? The following are a few tips you can keep in mind to help you increase the visibility and effectiveness of your name tag.
First, position your nametag over the right breast pocket. Because most people greet each other by shaking their right hands, the eye is naturally drawn upward to the name tag. Unfortunately, most jacket breast pockets are on the left! This where a Magnetic Name Tag* or a pin backed name tag comes in handy. You aren’t restricted by where you can attach a clip. Alternatively, you can use a lanyard - complete with custom imprinting - that positions your nametag at the same height as your jacket breast pocket.
Second, set your first name in a print that is both larger and bolder than your last name. That way, the client can not only easily see what your name is, but they will be more inclined to use it. Don’t use tiny name tags with tiny printing in muted colors. It sounds obvious but you’d be surprised how many poorly designed nametags there are out there! Remember, the purpose of your nametag is to help establish a personal relationship with your clients. If they can’t read your nametag, then you are already one step behind.
Last, don’t forget to wear your nametag! We recommend getting two identical name tags; this allows you to wear one name tag and to store the other in a safe place that you can access if you forget to wear the first one.
By adhering to these simple guidelines, you’ll be able to use your name tag to its full effect, whether you’re wearing a Metal Name Tag, Plastic Engraved Name Tag, or a Full Color Plastic Name Tag. You’ll also be able to give your client the opportunity to form a personal relationship with you, which in turn has the potential to increase sales and lead to repeat business.

Putting a Name to the Face
As the manager or owner of a successful business in the customer service industry, you may ask yourself if you really need name tags. After all, you think, aren’t they just an added expense in this already tough economy? But what you may not realize is that purchasing nametags is an investment in your future.Studies show that customers are influenced not just by facts, but also by personal relationships. What matters is not just the product you are selling but how well your customers can relate to the people selling the product, in other words, your employees. This is called relationship marketing, and the first step in forming this essential relationship is the name tag.
Nametags break down the barriers between customer and employee; they allow for a more personal, one-on-one interaction. And yet, at the same time, they add a level of professionalism to the employee wearing the nametag. The customer can not only identify the employee but he can feel confident that the employee is fully accountable for the sale and is not hiding behind anonymity. Taken as a whole, the nametag combines a sense of familiarity with a degree of respect that, ultimately, can translate into higher sales.
Consider your own experiences as a consumer. Don’t you prefer being able to identify and converse with a salesperson by name? Isn’t it helpful when, in future interactions, you can ask for or refer to that same salesperson? A nametag gives you the ability to do so, creating not only a short-term connection with that salesperson but also a long-term business relationship based upon mutual recognition and trust.
Our goal is to help you create that bond between your sales staff and your customer base. Whether you choose our Metal Name Tags, Plastic Engraved Name Tags, or Full Color Plastic Name Tags, you’ll be creating a customer-friendly atmosphere that puts your clients at ease. Don’t be surprised if you begin to see a marked improvement in sales in just a few weeks!

The Flip Side
Nametag technology has come a long way since the early days of the standard pin backing. There are now several ways to proudly display your custom name tag – the difficult part is deciding which one is right for you!
One of the most popular options is the Magnetic Name Tag*. This innovative design comprises
two separate pieces: one is a magnet that comes attached to your nametag, whereas the other is a steel backing bar that goes behind your clothing. The result? No pin holes, and an attraction strong enough to hold through everything from suit coats to sweaters. Your magnetic name tag will stay exactly the way it’s intended, without turning sideways or backward.
Hot on the heels of the magnetic name tag is the lanyard. The lanyard, which consists of a length of string or fabric that attaches to your nametag, is ideal for large name tags or photo id’s. It comes in a variety of colors and can also be custom-imprinted with your company’s logo or slogan, giving the entire ensemble a unique, highly stylized appeal.
For a more economical alternative, consider the bulldog clip, which attaches to the back of the
nametag with an adhesive. Boasting a firm grip and a swivel back, this sturdy solution allows you to display your custom nametag in a tried-and-true fashion. For added flexibility, you can also add a short strap. The bulldog clip is particularly ideal for more casual situations in which a sports jacket or other outerwear may be worn.
Many name tag wearers, however, remain faithful to the good old pin backing. This high-quality
jeweler’s clip is reliable and cost-effective, and it does a great job of holding your name tag in place. The pin backing itself is attached to the back of the nametag with an adhesive; the stick pin goes through your clothing and then into a clasp that holds the pin in place. Pin backed name tags are often used in clinics and industrial settings, and are especially ideal if there’s a chance that the name tag may be impacted by outside forces.
If all of these options seem daunting, don’t worry! We’re here to help you parse through your choices and come up with the best name tag – and backing – to serve your purposes. Just give us a call.
