Getting Your Brand Noticed

When it comes to a brand, standing out is the primary goal.

A company brand is past, present and future. It is what they are now, what they want to be in the future, and what they are representing to potential and devoted clients currently. Properly branding a company helps them to not only stand out from competitors but also helps them realize their potential. It also lets the consumer know what to expect from that company. Branding can be a promise of quality, trust or service.

Brand Identity: Recognition and knowledge of a logo or business based on the customer’s experience.

Brand Meaning: Defining the company beyond just an image to include product or business features, reliability, value and expertise.

Consumer Relationship: Helping to shape the ultimate attitude of a customer toward a company.

Making Your Brand Promising

By defining what your brand is up front, you help establish your company as an industry leader and key influencer. And making sure that your logo balances your brand at the top can be quite the process. Many businesses use networking as a key factor in their marketing plan. It helps to develop a strong feeling of trust between those involved and plays a big part in raising the profile and brand of a company.

From Nike to you, using your brand is what makes you stand out.

And, in the name tag world, a personal brand comes when you wear a name tag with your name to identify yourself as an individual and to stand out in a crowd. By wearing personal identification products, one makes themselves more visible to others and opens the door to better experiences at large events. Most often you can see this type of brand at large corporate meetings or conventions where the individual needs to stand out from others.

Logos and Branding

Branding only works when you use your name tags and other personal identification correctly with logos, titles and names. Make sure that your logo is the same for everything you use. A common mistake is not sticking to a particular color. If you’re using blue, make sure it stays the same shade on all of your products.

While this may seem like a no-brainer, blues often print out with a purple look to them. Not only do these colors pertain to your company’s printed materials but it is something actively considered in personal identification. Utilize name tags, name plates and other products by using the same colors, logos and styles on everything.

Your name tag reflects who you are and humanizes you to others. Most people tend to judge on first impressions, especially when everyone in the room is a stranger. But, if you have a way to make yourself stand out, your brand will become recognizable. And, it helps to make others more at ease around you.

3 Steps: Find Your Perfect Name Tag

While finding your perfect name tag is not an exact science, it shouldn’t be a chore either.

While placing an order with us for name tags, there are many important things to consider. There are a few questions you should ask yourself when starting on the road to the perfect name tag. While this list is brief, it will give you the guidelines you need to find your perfect fit.

First: Do you need a logo?

While this may seem like a silly question, it is probably the most important. Not all name tags have logos. And some name tag sizes don’t necessarily have room for logos.

Some companies and corporations don’t need to have a logo to identify volunteers or employees. Maybe they just need someone’s first name to identify them quickly. Or maybe they just need a quick title such as “guest” or “volunteer” to provide assistance to clients or event attendees.

Whatever the case, make sure you ask yourself if you need a logo! And, of course, if you do need a logo, we are guaranteed to have the perfect name tag just for you! And that’s where the next step comes in.

Second: Which process fits your name tags best?

Process? What does that mean? Well, that’s an easy question! Do you need something engraved or printed? Here’s the difference:

Engraved: An engraved name tag features two colors: the name tag color and the engraved color. Each tag will have a name, title, logo and any other requested information permanently laser engraved into the tag. If your logo or needs require more than one color, you may want to choose from our printed name tags. If not, these engraved name tags may just be your perfect name tag!

Printed: There are several ways to print on a name tag. UV color, Hot-Stamped or Digital (Full Color) printing are all available for printing your perfect name tag. Premium UV color logo printing is one of the best ways to highlight your logo. The logo is printed on a plastic tag, and any text will be engraved. We can also digitally print a full-color logo and text onto a plastic tag. The text will also be printed in your color choice. The final selection creates a classic, high-quality hot-stamped logo on a plastic name tag and any text will be engraved.

Third: How long do you need to be able to use your name tags?

Durability is just as important as anything else when choosing your perfect name tag. When looking for the right fit, make sure you know how long you will need to be using these name tags. Coller Industries offers a full line of reusable name badges. From adhesive, single-use badges to fully reusable badges such as Mighty Badges or Speedy Badges, we’re sure to have something to meet your needs. If you need something to last a lifetime, we have both plastic and metal name tags that will fit perfectly.
