How to Wear Name Tags

Many things help businesses succeed, such as employees, machinery and buildings. Those are all bigger and more obvious things that help with success, but what about the more minor things that also help? Name tags are small and an underrated tool that elevates a work uniform. Wear name tags for a subtle yet effective way to improve identification, security and success.

But why name tags? How do they help businesses succeed? Name tags help keep businesses safe by identifying staff and volunteers, so customers know who they can contact for assistance.

Businesses also have the chance to improve their branding when employees wear name tags. When employees are identified, customers will understand that they can be found by specifics like work uniform colors, being in certain areas or, most importantly, wearing name tags. Details like color choice, font and name tag material are essential. You may want to include your business logo on name tags. It all depends on what you want out of your staff’s name tags.

Why Logos Matter More Than You Think

What do you think of when you hear the word “logo?” When most people think about logos, they imagine cool designs that represent companies. They usually see them displayed front and center, on top of buildings or billboards. Products have logos branded on them. If products don’t have the logo, the packaging has the logo somewhere.

What is a logo? A logo is a symbol to identify your company that brings instant public recognition. They are graphic representations meant to connect with a brand, entity or endeavor so that an audience can recognize the connection effectively and consistently.

There are many types of logos because some cater to specific business types. Logos serve many purposes. We won’t get into every kind of logo there is or which one you should choose. Instead, here are explainations why logos are essential for your business and why you should include them on your name tags.

Reasons Why Your Logo Matters

They Catch Viewers’ Eyes First

Logos are the first thing viewers see about a company. You want your logo to be attractive enough to catch people’s eyes. It would draw people in because they are curious about the business behind the logo. You know a logo is excellent when it is memorable and recognizable. It would also be nice to describe your business solely with visual elements, but that’s not always needed.

Take Advantage of Being Unique

You can stand out when you have a unique logo. Have you ever gone inside a store just because they had an exciting logo? You don’t know anything about the company, but you gave it a try because it had a logo that piqued your interest. That’s the goal when you have a unique logo. It speaks for itself. It screams, “We’re a company that cares about how we are perceived, and you should come to see what we’re about.”

Stand Ahead of Competitors

What’s even better about standing out is standing out against the competition. For example, dentist clinics usually have something with the word dental in their name. So how can they stand out against each other? One could have a logo of a tooth with coordinating typography, so it’s more distinctive for them. Again, it makes them memorable and recognizable, so customers and passersby know they are distinctive despite the many other similar clinics worldwide. It will display that your business is one of a kind despite the many similar companies there may be. Standing out is a persuasive method that urges customers to rely only on your business.

Huge Element in Brand Identity

An excellent logo is vital for your company’s brand identity. You want a logo that matches your business’ values and purpose. Elements such as colors and typography are essential as you want them to match the rest of your brand’s identity. Your brand identity involves many aspects of your business, such as your website, social media accounts, blogs, products, services and more. Consistency between all platforms is key to your brand identity, so you want your logo to match the essence of everything in your business.

What You Shouldn’t Do with Your Logo

We’ve covered some of the more significant reasons why logos are important. Now let’s get into some of the mistakes you should avoid with your business’ logo.

It Doesn’t Match with Your Business Brand

A good logo should represent your company’s branding, whereas a lousy logo doesn’t correlate with a company’s values and purpose. You want it to match your company’s message. Your logo needs a change if it doesn’t show those things. You want it to be a proper representation of your business.

Elements That Don’t Harmonize

You don’t have to be a graphic designer to know what looks good. Logos should be appealing to all kinds of people. There are several reasons a logo doesn’t look right. For starters, it seems too busy, the colors are too bright or don’t correlate well. The font doesn’t fit the company’s print, or there isn’t enough contrast between the fonts. An excellent tip to remember is that a good logo is acceptable when it looks appealing on a black and white background.

It’s Boring and Bland

The biggest thing that makes a logo not work is that it isn’t memorable. You can’t expect a business to succeed when it doesn’t have a decent logo. It should be able to start a conversation. It should stir up curiosity for people who haven’t heard of your business yet.

Final Thoughts

Your logo represents your business. You want to ensure it gets special attention and care because that’s one way your company is remembered. Implement a dependable logo your company can rely on.

Once you have a logo you are proud of, you can start using it on your products, clothing, buildings and, most importantly, name tags. When you have your logo on your employee’s name tag, it reminds your customers that they are a representative of your business. We have blogs delving more in detail about why you should include logos on your name tags and other products. Logo name tags are available in both plastic and metal.

Here’s how to create a new you with new and improved name tags and name plates.

You may have a name tag you have worn for years, so it’s time for an upgrade. Why consider a new name tag? First, name tags allow employees to display who they are and work for. Second, they break the ice when networking, so talking to others is even easier. Third, it gives customers a sense of security knowing they are working with professionals. Finally, it helps communicate that we are here for a reason: to help our customers with whatever they need.

Imagine wearing a name tag that you personalized yourself. Your new name tag could have the font and colors you choose to help you stand out. You can also wear a photo ID with a picture of you that you’re proud of.

We have name plates for your desk that are fully customizable. We help liven up your old name tags and name plates for a personable look.

Name Plates are to Desks as Bows are to Gifts

Name plates can provide a person’s name, title and corporation. A personalized name plate shows that you are an industry professional who is proud of who you are. A name plate that includes job titles displays the employee’s purpose. A professional looking name plate would perfect the professional looking desk you’ve been needing. And, you won’t even have to wait for Christmas.

Like our name tags, our name plates come with several ways to customize them. They come in different materials, colors, fonts, font colors, logos and more. Name plates are neat because they can either sit on top of a desk or hang on a cubicle wall. We have several name plate holders, such as the classic holder. They come out with such high quality that just a glimpse is all you need to know that you are an industry professional.

Don’t forget the ribbons!

Badge ribbons are a favorite among our customers as they are versatile and attractive. Like everything else we sell, badge ribbons are available in several materials, colors and fonts. They can be customized to how you want them. We have stock badge ribbons representing various positions for a great deal. Custom text badge ribbons assist you in marketing a company, advertising, or decorating name tags.

Your everyday name tag may be dull and outdated, so liven things up by upgrading your boring name tag with a brand new one. Customize your new name tag into your style. After you create your custom name tag, you can personalize a name plate and badge ribbons to create a new you. They would be the perfect combo for a new you this new year.

We have put together a short list of products that go great together. From name tags to lanyards and even ribbons, let’s get your brand shinning everywhere!

Upgrade Name Tags with Name Plates

Your logo already looks excellent on name tags, so put it on a name plate that matches. It’s simple to upgrade your identification with multiple material colors and printing of your logo.

Upgrade Photo IDs with Lanyards

These two products go together so well that it just makes sense to get lanyards with photo ID badges. The ability to print any insert for a badge holder is great, and pairing them with lanyards is even greater. No matter your profession, matching lanyards and photo ID badges are the perfect way to keep everyone identified. Not only does the photo identification help increase your security measures, but upgrading with a lanyard ensures instant access to those badges.

Upgrade Badge Ribbons with Badge Holders

Even if you’re not planning an event, pairing badge holders with ribbons is a great way to upgrade your identification. Sometimes all you need to add to your brand is a brightly colored ribbon attached to your name tag.

Even though they are commonly used for title designations at conventions and conferences, badge ribbons are more versatile than you know. They are the perfect tool for advertising sales, promoting events and letting your clientele know about your business.
Add nearly any text and logos to Custom Imprinted Badge Ribbons that help you achieve your business goals. With these custom additions, you can meet all of your company branding and marketing resolutions. Your text can be slogans, logos and so much more!

Using Custom Ribbons to Upgrade Your Identification

Finding Quality with Your Name Tag Experts

Your business is more likely to succeed when you focus and commit to a high quality image and business model. The message to learn from this statement is that no matter the service or product, consistently providing and finding quality must be your primary business focus. And with that knowledge, you can make sure that your business maintains quality throughout your production and practices.

So, where do name tags fit into this? Your name tags reflect your brand’s value and trustworthiness. A name tag also helps create a connection between you and your customer by providing quick identification. As your name tag experts, we offer only the highest quality so that your brand will shine above the rest.

Constancy of purpose means that quality decisions are not situational. End of month quality is the same as the beginning of the month.

It means having your eye on the competition, whether it is in your industry or coming from elsewhere, with plans to stay ahead.
