Radio Station Lapel Pins Have Many Uses

October 24th, 2011

Radio stations around the country look for new and inventive ways to win over new listeners.  One of the ways that they do just that is through promotional products like custom lapel pins.  Not only do these items help with advertising, they also help identify specific call numbers and stations at special events and functions.  This is especially helpful when there are a number of radio stations present at a sporting event or state fair.

Custom lapel pins have their own unique appearance and appeal.  People love the fact that they get to wear the giveaway item wherever they go.  Radio stations that throw events throughout the year can create pins specifically for this purpose.  Loyal listeners get added incentives for placing their custom radio lapel pins on a shirt, jacket or hat for others to see.

Awarded in Prize Packs During Promotions and Contests

Custom lapel pins can be given out during contests that the station sponsors.  This helps spread the word about the radio station, its DJs, and artists in a quick and efficient manner.   Handing out pins is one of the most effective ways to advertise and promote an upcoming event.  The pins can be created in different colors as a way of identifying VIP guests.

Loyal Listeners and VIP Guests

Loyal listeners and other types of VIP guests can earn lapel pins for attending different events throughout the year.  These special pins can give the men and women special access to behind the scenes concerts and meet and greets.  They can also be worn as a way of earning prizes and discounts at area retailers.  Radio stations can team up with local businesses as part of the promotion.  This allows each to get the recognition that they deserve.

Attached to Business Cards, Custom Lapel Pins Make a Great First Impression

Lapel pins can also be attached to business cards and handed out to clients, vendors, and other people involved in the music industry.  This allows radio stations to make a great first impression on everyone their representatives come into contact with.  Not only do the pins serve as a thank you gift for visiting the station, they also are a visual reminder of who they have come into contact with throughout the day.

Custom radio station lapel pins have multiple uses and are the perfect giveaway item because of their bold appearance and functionability.  If you’re looking for a way to put your DJs on the map, consider doing it with a custom made lapel pin.  You can easily order enough to get you through a year’s worth of events.

January 20th, 2011

Does your group have an activity that it holds every month?  Have you ever thought about using custom lapel pins to mark the event? If your answer is no, we think it is about time for you start.

One Event and Pin Design at a Time

You may think that there is no benefit to using custom pins because you host the same event each month, but we beg to differ. The fact that custom pins have unlimited design potential makes them ideal in situations like this.

The wide selection of design options that are available make it easy to customize pins to look and feel completely different month after month.  You can alternate the lapel pins style between cloisonné, soft enamel, and die struck.  By using different methods of color application like silk screen or offset printing, you can change how the artwork and images appear on the pin. Some other ways to revamp your lapel pin design is by changing its metal plating, size and shape.

Here is an example of a pin that we created for a YMCA Folks march group that does monthly walks around there local attractions. In this case they walked around Beaver Lake in New York near Syracuse. Check out some of the other fun events that this area offers at http://onondagacountyparks.com/beaver.

Starting a Line of Collectibles

Tweaking or completely changing the pin design will add variety and give participants and supporters something else to look forward to. You could even switch from using lapel pins to challenge coins, embroidered patches and other custom products to add recognition and bring excitement to the event.

Being able to design or redesign your group lapel pins is the best aspect about using them. The frequency and similarity of your events will not change the benefit and value of pins.  So, the next time you are organizing your group’s monthly, annual or semi-annual function, add custom lapel pins to the list of goods you will need.

Creating Custom Lapel Pins for Fish and Wildlife Organizations

August 30th, 2010

Protecting our wildlife has become a priority in this country. Organizations designated to preserve the natural habitat of fish and game work hard to ensure that rules and regulations are met year-round. These men and women become crusaders for the animals whose lives they try to protect. Not only do they spend a majority of time promoting the cause, they spend equal amounts of time educating the public and fundraising.

Custom lapel pins serve as a verifiable marketing tool in these instances.  The small pieces of memorabilia serve many uses. Due to their size and portability, many people feel comfortable wearing and displaying their pins on a day-to-day basis. This can help an organization to:

  • Promote the Cause.
  • Educate the Public.
  • Serve as a Token of Appreciation at Fundraising Events.

Getting the Word Out About the Cause

Well-designed lapel pins generate interest wherever they go. Members of the public are made aware of an issue once they are visually able to picture it and the group that is involved with it.

Fish and wildlife organizations can then use these pins in a number of different ways. Once they have grabbed the public’s attention, it is easier to educate them and solicit funds for conservation and preservation purposes.

Helping the Community Understand the Importance of the Cause

Once the community is familiar with an organization, they will be more receptive to the message that is being promoted. Fish and wildlife groups can employ a variety of different methods to help educate theirpublic. They hold workshops, conferences, and lectures as a way of getting the message across. They can also hand out custom lapel pins featuring their unique image or logo with packets of information that they distribute. This is one of the fastest ways to make a really great impression.

Thanking Donors for Their Support

Every successful fundraising event is largely in part to private donors. Fish and wildlife organizations can show their gratitude to contributors of their cause by designing and awarding them custom lapel pins. The tokens of appreciation work wonders in generating a positive spirit. Many conservation and preservation attempts are richly rewarded by repeat donors who know the value of the work being put into fundraising efforts.

Fish and wildlife organizations around the nation take pride in their work. With the help of custom lapel pins, they can achieve far more positive results by reaching more people and teaching them about the benefits of conservation and preservation attempts.
