United States Border Control Creates Customized Key Chains and Lapel Pins

November 30th, 2011

The U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) unit makes safety and security its number one priority. The group protects United States citizens by welcoming all legitimate travelers and trade while enforcing all applicable laws. Customs prevents narcotic, agricultural pests, and smuggled goods from entering the country. Agents also identify and arrest those with outstanding criminal warrants. Last year alone, CBP welcomed 1.1 million people at the nation’s 327 land, air, and seaports. They also apprehended 2,800 between the ports of entry for illegal entry into the country.

The organization contacted us with a special request. They wanted us to create customized key chain for their long-term employees. They also wanted to welcome new recruits with a custom lapel pin. Having two different gifts on hand ensured that each group of employees were properly recognized. We receive this type of request often and are happy to oblige by creating products that are personal, meaningful, and attractive.

Creating an incentive program for employees helps businesses and organizations be successful in all of their pursuits. The reason behind this statement is really very simple. Happy, healthy employees are productive and positive. They are more apt to lend a helping hand when needed, are absent less, more attentive, and less likely to have an accident.

Custom lapel pins and key chains are practical because they can be used every day. They are attractive enough that people want to wear and carry them. They also serve a purpose by helping identify the employee and the accomplishments that he or she achieved. This is a win-win for employers wanting to get the word out about their businesses or organizations. Other people see what you are doing to honor your employees and they have that much more respect for you.

If you’re looking for the perfect gift item to award to new and long-term employees, contact Lapel Pins R Us. We’ll be more than happy to discuss your lapel pin and key chain options with you. You can reach us by calling 1-800-480-6822 or emailing info@lapelpinsrus.com. There’s no time like today to start rewarding the men and women who help make your business or organization a success.

Key chains do not have be round, square, triangular or rectangular. They can be customized in a variety of ways. A unique shape like a tongue or pickle is enough to get people interested in what you are trying to promote through your business or organization. This is a quick way to expand your customer base.

For example, say your company is getting ready to offer a nationwide promotion and you want to get the word out about it in the most cost effective way possible. Instead of paying for print advertising, you take a different, more hands-on approach. You submit your idea or concept to us, we create custom artwork for you and send it digitally in a full color proof, and once your design is approved, we submit it to our production department so it can be manufactured.

Once your custom key chains have arrived, you start handing them out to everyone you meet. These people return the favor by using these items wherever they go.

How to Use Custom Products to Recognize Realtors for a Job Well Done

January 21st, 2011

With all of the recent talk about depressed housing markets, realtors need all the inspiration and recognition that you can offer them. Creating custom products will give agents added incentive to keep driving sales despite a slow economic recovery.

Keeping Up the Good Work

The promotional product market offers a wide assortment of personalized items for you to choose from. There are metal product lines like lapel pins, challenge coins and key chains. More casual options are items such as embroidered patches or custom silicone wristbands.

Metal Product Offerings

Your outstanding real estate agents will be proud to wear lapel pins, carry challenge coins or key chains that show their expertise and value. Potential homeowners will be impressed and feel as though they are in trustworthy and capable hands when they read the words like “Realtor of the Year” or “Agent of the Month” on a custom pin. Challenge coins and key chains, designed in a similar way, offer realtors the added pleasure of having and object to pull out, show off and talk about.

Saying It With a Patch

Agents that really like to display their accomplishments to the world or enjoy adding flare to jackets and bags can do so using embroidered patches. Custom embroidered patches are very flexible in their design capabilities as well. The recognition being given and the company’s specific branding symbols or words, will help agents announce and remember that what they do really does matter.

Wearing Awards Is a Fashion

Silicone wristband bracelets are popular among masses. For realtors that prefer a trendier approach to displaying their achievements, custom wristbands are always good idea. Solid and multiple color combinations combined with custom texts make wristband bracelets perfect for giving agents extra encouragement and can become an exciting office trend. They also provide them with an item that can be worn with any articles of clothing and to many different events.

Letting your agents know that you appreciate their hard work and determination during these hard times can be done in a number of ways. Custom metal products like lapel pins are more conservative and traditional. Custom embroidered patches and wristbands offer a more fashionable approach. Show your realtors some praise today and you will keep them working towards a successful tomorrow.

How Do We Select the Colors Used On Your Custom Digital Proof and Finished Products?

January 18th, 2011

Have you ever wondered how your design will look once it is manufactured? How we know what colors to add to it? Or if you will be able to verify the colors selected for your design from the digital proof we send you for review?

These are all valid and important questions individuals should ask regarding their custom products creation. Gladly, we can offer some helpful hints to make the process easier.

Here are our suggestions:

1. If you send vector artwork, we will “tag”, or sample, the colors that you list in your design and will recreate the design with your selected colors.

2. If you send non vector artwork or just a logo, thought or idea, we will use our design skills and suggest colors for you to review. If you approve the colors, or tell us specifically which colors to use, we will create your custom product with those colors.

3. We work from the PMS color system so all colors listed on the proof will be from this chart. If you are not familiar with these colors, you can go to your local art supply store, paint store or library and do some research on the charts and possible colors.

4. Most importantly, please remember that you are viewing your emailed digital proof on a non-calibrated monitor. The colors that you are viewing may not be an exact match because all monitors display color differently. To be absolutely sure of the accuracy of your pin’s colors, the best idea is always to consult a physical PMS color chart.

Using the suggestions above, combined with understanding the details of your digital proof, are a tremendous help during the approval process. Knowing what to expect as well as the standard practices used in creating the design are the keys to arriving at the perfect custom products
