Creative Ways That Lapel Pins R Us Makes Use of Your Logo

March 29th, 2012

If you’re looking for creative ways to use your logo on products, look no further than Lapel Pins R Us.  As a leading designer and manufacturer of promotional products, we work with businesses, organizations, clubs, and non-profits to come up with customized items rich in detail and visual appeal.

One of the very many ways that we are able to creatively use logos on our products is by taking an existing lapel pins design and turning it into a vibrantly colored patch.  This is a unique way to advertise your business or organization.  Because it can also be worn on an article of clothing or a hat, it isn’t unusual to see your employees or club members wearing both a lapel pin and a patch wherever they go.

The customer whose products are featured in today’s blog wanted a way for others to recognize his fishing association.  Using a pre-existing design from a custom lapel pin, we were able to create the attractive patch shown here.  We also have the ability to turn a logo into other products like lanyards, medallions or charms, and key rings.  This allows businesses and organizations to have a variety of products on hand to giveaway throughout the year.

Personal branding is an important part of advertising.  If you want to ramp up your efforts, you can do so easily by taking your logo and putting it on a variety of promotional products like lapel pins and patches.  This allows you to appeal to a wider demographic of people and to also extend your advertising efforts to employees, volunteers, and club members.

See for yourself what all we can do for you.  Visit http://www.lapelpinsrus.com to view the many different products we offer.  Once you’ve found one that you like, contact us by emailing your logo to info@lapelpinsrus.com.  You can also call 1-800-480-6822 toll-free to speak to a representative about your ideas or concepts.  As always, our design services are free and we provide free shipping on your order.

Creating Patches That Can Be Worn on Military Uniforms

We took the military crest sent to us from the USS Chung Hoon and we created it into a patch that the crew can wear.  The end result was a patch that the customer could be really proud of.  That’s the beauty behind custom products.  They are designed in a way that makes them unique and personal.

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.
