Name Tags and Spooky Holidays

Many people these days tend to get the order of the holidays all mixed up. We start seeing Christmas decorations too early and forget some of the holidays that should count a little bit more. While Halloween is a holiday most people remember, sometimes it does get a little overlooked.

So, what do name tags have to do with the most popular dress-up holiday ever?

Try adding some flair to an office party with custom shaped name tags for that special day. Choose from one of our pre-designed styles or custom design one all your own. While we do not encourage complicated designs, we do encourage uniqueness and originality. Choose a black cat or a wooden color cross. Or, create a bat or pumpkin. Too complicated? Custom design a name tag or name badge and add a spooky logo.

Another great idea is to create your own custom signs. Choose a fun font with your own spooky message and logo. Or, make signs that go with office decor or party ideas. Use this orange sign to hang on your door when you run out of treats on Halloween night, or simply get tired of answering the door bell and missing all your party guests.

Name Tag Deficiency Syndrome (NTDS)

Is there really a condition called Name Tag Deficiency Syndrome?

From Scott Ginsberg, The Name Tag Guy:

name tag name badge name tag deficiency syndrome“Over a half of a million people suffer every year from Emblema Nomenpenia, more commonly known as Name Tag Deficiency Syndrome (NTDS). This debilitating condition has run rampant through the American business community for many decades, experts say, although only recently has it been classified.”

 

Symptoms: You may experience localized font shrinkage, inflammation of the company logo, noticeable eye irritation due to cluttered texts, absence of upper chest name tag placement and mild conversational uncertainty and frustration.

Possible Side Effects: Beware of sudden, sever attacks of name forgetting, possible networking anxiety, unapproachable behavior, missed opportunities to make new friends or business contacts, and feelings of annoyance due to the inability to say hello to a new member or employee whose name you can’t read because their name tag is turned backwards.name tag name badge Name Tag Deficiency Syndrome (NTDS)

 

While NTDS is completely “made up,” the side effects are serious! However, this disease is easily treatable and completely curable!

 

Kris Hay, Communications Coordinator at the University of Puget Sound, offers her advice:

name tag name badge name tag deficiency syndrome“When it comes to networking, a name tag is a necessity. Anonymity is not to your advantage in these situations. Worn properly, a legible name tag helps people remember your name and then quickly move on to exchanging information with you.

“A poorly located, illegible, or absent name tag can cause consternation, and even embarrassment. A name tag should make it easy for people to meet and greet you without having to gaze at body parts other than your face. Wearing your name tag correctly demonstrates your etiquette and networking savvy.”

To Wear, or Not To Wear. What is a Name Tag?

Many people feel that name tags are pointless and kind of a pain to wear. While most of these people will complain about wearing a name badge, they can all agree on one thing. That is the point of the identification in the first place. So, what is a name tag?

Once someone is wearing identification, it becomes easier to recognize them. So, those who become self conscious once they actually break and don a name badge, they will agree that the identification does aid in the day to day activities.

While there was a focus on Scott Ginsberg, a man who wears a name tag every day, Mark Anderson is annoyed by this small personal identification tool. Anderson says, “Well, I should say I hate wearing a name tag. I find them very useful when I’m speaking to someone because I’m horrible with names, but I always feel self conscious with that big red ‘Hi, I’m Mark’ branded on my chest.”

Defining Identification

By definition, a name tag is something you wear with your name to quickly identify yourself. Simply put, it is something to help others quickly see who you are. While a name tag is typically made from plastic or metal, there are many forms this identification can take.

“So, instead of hobnobbing and mingling, I set my mind to work on other ways people are identified with tags or signs, and this cartoon popped out. I suppose a therapist might suggest that I was feeling trapped in my job, but mostly I just felt goofy, and was able to turn it to my advantage. This cartoon came from attending one of those business events where I had to wear a name tag.”

In rebuttal against these feelings, name tags really are a great equalizer. Name tags always help out when meeting a lot of people at once. This is especially beneficial at a conference or convention, and in a short time frame.

“If everybody wears name tags, no more fighting, no more intolerance and no more disrespect,” says Scott Ginsberg.

Name tags RULE (even if we are biased)!

Wearing a name tag where people can easily see and read it makes getting to know them easier. It also puts everyone ease. The important thing to remember is that when meeting a lot of different people, they have an easier way to really remember who you are and what you stand for. No one will be left to assume anything about anyone with the simple aid of personal identification.
