Nine Tips to Get the Most of Your Badge Holders, Lanyards & More!

January 26th, 2010 Mike Leave a comment Go to comments

Badge Holders and Lanyards are two of the most commonly used products in trade shows, conventions and many other events. Read below to see how you can get the most out of your investment.

    1] Maintain Security
    Many places of employment require ID badges; they’re great for security, and getting to know all the people around the office. The use of badge holders and lanyards is essential in keeping your ID badges safe and visible. If you know your customers or employees use proximity cards, you may want to try a proximity badge holder. These are great for keeping proximity cards in place and storing them securely.

    2] Dress to Impress
    For formal settings, we recommend an attached fastener for your badge holders, such as magnetic, pin, or clip, so you can display your information with subtlety.
    3] Stand Out
    When printing inserts for your badge holders, keep the font as large as possible. You’ll want people to be able to read your name from at least ten feet away.
    4] Get to the Point
    You’ll also want to make sure that you don’t have too much information on your printed inserts. Simple, concise information which can be seen clearly and read easily is more effective – and if the customer wants to know more, all they have to do is ask you!
    5] Mix it Up
    Try printing an interesting fact about your company or the event on each of the badge holders to create some variety. You’ll want people looking at the inserts, so mix it up and make them want to look at the inserts!

      6] Get Organized
      Printing and alphabetizing your inserts & badges prior to the event is a great way to save time and effort on the day of the event.
      7] Take it Easy
      For conventions, fund-raisers, and trade shows, you may want the ease-of-use a lanyard brings. Put the lanyard around your neck and clip your badge holder on – it’s as simple as that!
      8] Get Your Name Out There
      Getting your company’s name and contact information printed on your lanyards is a great way to make sure your company stays in mind after the event.
      9] Give People Something Useful Beyond the Event
      Take advantage of dual-use lanyards – they carry your badge holders and agenda holders around your neck, and after the event turn into eyeglass retainers. Your event attendees will love them! You may want to consider nicer giveaway items to secure sales from those more promising leads. Neck wallets, water bottles, and other handouts with your logo/information on them are great ways to generate buzz.
