Using Custom Lapel Pins in Place of Paper Admission Tickets at Your Next Event

May 17th, 2012

If you’re organizing a special event this summer, you know how pesky paper admission tickets can be. Oftentimes, they’re lost or damaged. People even forget to bring them with them to events because they’re small and easily overlooked. We have a solution for this problem. Rather than use paper admission tickets, why not order custom lapel pins instead?

The idea is the same. People purchase a lapel pin and wear it to the event. This gives them access to all of the entertainment, activities, and workshops being held during the time allotted for the event. Ticket takers will see the pin and know that the person wearing it paid to attend the festival or conference.

A greener option than paper, custom lapel pins reduce waste which means less manpower and resources need to be used for clean-up. Attendees at the event get to go home with a small yet meaningful memento which they can wear years after the festival, outdoor concert or conference is over.

Here are some ideas on how to make your order of custom lapel pins stand out:

Choose an unusual size or shape.
Make your logo or image big and colorful.
Add glitter.
Put your contact information on it.
Add blinking lights.
Have an area of your design cut out.
Make your pins have a sliding or spinning piece.
Create a charm out of your pins.
Order custom lanyards to go with your custom lapel pins.

Promoting Movie Premieres with Custom Lapel Pins

May 16th, 2012

If you’re the owner of a movie theater, you know the importance of advertising. Without it, you’re unable to reach the people and without the people, you can’t fill your seats. Custom lapel pins give you the type of tools that you need to market to the masses. Prior to a movie’s release, pins can be created as a way of creating hype. They can be handed out as part of a prize package or given to theater-goers when they purchase tickets in advance. They can also be handed out to VIPs as a way of thanking them for going to see new movies each month.

Movie promotion lapel pins are attractive and memorable. They often have an image or photograph on them. This gives others an idea as to what the movie is about and gets them amped up about the film’s arrival in your theater. There are few ways as effective as advertising with custom lapel pins. Because they can be bought in bulk and stored easily, they make the perfect promotional tool for theater owners in every size of city.

Custom lapel pins can have your theater’s logo on them. They can also have a custom backstamp on the back on them that leads others to your website. This is a great way to secure future business. When people can look at showtimes, view previews, and see upcoming attractions, they are more likely to go to the movies more often.

Promote Better Sleep with Custom Lapel Pins

May 15th, 2012

May is Better Sleep Month. The idea behind the initiative is to get people to develop better sleeping patterns. Reduced concentration, mood swings, irritability, stress, and weakened immune system are all contributed to improper amounts of sleep. Well-rested people are better equipped to deal with whatever life throws at them. They also have healthier habits regarding diet and exercise.

If you’re a hospital, health clinic, mattress manufacturer, school nurse or health practitioner, you’ll want to promote healthy sleep habits this May. You can do this easily with custom lapel pins. We take your idea or concept and turn it into attractive, meaningful pins for you to hand out at conferences, health screenings, and workshops. This gives people something to remember you by.

Lack of sleep can be detrimental to a person’s health and well-being. That’s why it’s important to stress the necessity of a good night’s rest. Your lapel pins can be customized to reflect this. According to findings from the National Sleep Council which supports Better Sleep Month, “People who sleep between 6 and 7 hours a night actually live longer than those who sleep for 8 hours.”

Health-related awareness pins make a big impact on the people that they’re given to. That’s why our team of talented designers is committed to making your Better Sleep Month lapel pins eye-catching and memorable. Using your photograph or image, we can determine the best size and shape for your May awareness month lapel pins.

Submit your design ideas to us today by emailing info@lapelpinsplus.com or calling 1-800-252-0904 toll-free. You can also visit us on the web at http://www.lapelpinsplus.com. No matter which way you decide to approach it, having custom lapel pins on hand to give out during Better Sleep Month is ideal.

May 10th, 2012

Universities and colleges all over the country love ordering lapel pins. We have the privilege of working with sororities and fraternities of these institutions when it comes to their lapel pins. Our pins are used for pledge pins, as well as new member pins. This allows sororities and fraternities to use their pins in a number of different ways throughout the school year.

Pledge and Member Lapel Pins Are Unique and Memorable

When you first join the fraternity/sorority you are called a pledge and you must wear your pledge lapel pin at all times.

Common styles of pins that we create for these groups are cloisonné pins and die struck pins.

Lavaliering is an Age Old Tradition That Involves Lapel Pins

Another great fraternity tradition is giving your “letters” to your girlfriend. This is sometimes called lavaliering. This step is usually right before the man proposes to the woman. The letters are actually his lapel pin of the Greek letters of his fraternity. The attached image is a picture of what a lavalier looks like.

Custom Lapel Pins Can Also Be Used for Football Games and Other Activities

Express Motorcycle Awareness Month to Motorists with Custom Lapel Pins

May 9th, 2012

May is Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month. The annual initiative is supported by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). As more and more motorcyclists travel in search of adventure, it is clear that all motorists should be aware of their presence on the highways and roadways. Motorcycle manufacturers and biker clubs spend time on outreach because they know by doing so, they save lives.

That’s where lapel pins come into play. Not only are they attractive mementos, they also serve as important safety reminders and educational tools. Because they can be customized with a slogan or message, they can be created as a way to promote Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month. The more people wear them, the more other people see them and look for motorcyclists on the road.

Custom lapel pins are great for conveying messages. A short phrase or slogan can be incorporated into the artwork of a design. This can transform the lapel pins into powerful tools. A simple reminder to be aware of motorcyclists on the road may be enough to prevent disasters from happening.

Safety initiative lapel pins are also very popular in workplaces of all sizes. On a regular basis, companies contact us with a special request for this type of lapel pin.
