How To Reinforce Branding with Novelty Lanyards

We've all seen custom imprinted lanyards featuring logos, mascots, mottos and slogans. However, your design can be even more memorable by going one step further. By selecting lanyard material with a relevant novelty print, your company's purpose and image will be reinforced.

For example, say you own a company that plans safaris. Distributing lanyards made from animal printed material would reinforce the concept of your business. Wild zebra and tiger striped straps won't just attract attention, they will also add a visual reminder. If your marketing strategy is powerful enough, even seeing the pattern elsewhere, may be enough to remind potential clients of you and your purpose. Today, many people don't think of cows when they see black and white cow skin patterns, they think of the Gateway computer company. Some businesses that will benefit from animal patterns are zoos, animal shelters and exotic pet stores. Even a restaurant or store with a wild theme can benefit from this technique.

Lanyards featuring upbeat flower patterns are perfect for companies such as, flower shops and gardeners. Simply adding the company name and phone number is very effective. The flowers and company name will communicate the purpose of the business. Then next time someone needs flowers, they just might look at their lanyard for your phone number.  Flower shops are gardeners benefit most by having repeat customers. As long as they are wearing your lanyard, you're contact info is at arms reach.

Camouflage is another print that is commonly found on lanyards. It's not only popular in fashion, but clearly defines your company as being rugged and tough. The most obvious example is the military. Camo lanyards featuring a recruiter’s phone number can be a powerful recruitment tool. Each time the potential recruit uses it, he's reminded of its call to action. They may be more likely to call. Camouflage works well with businesses, such as fishing and hunting gear stores, gyms and even martial arts schools.

Pet services can encourage repeat customers by distributing custom printed pet leashes and collars. Fabric featuring cute dog and cat paw prints are common and can be found in a variety of colors. Your business info may potentially be viewed every time the client walks their dog or pets their cat. Animal groomers, veterinarians, dog walkers and pet stores can organize highly effective marketing campaigns with this approach.

When designing the layout of your custom lanyards, remember that printed fabric can quickly seem cluttered. Keep any actual print to a minimum. You may wish to only include the company name and a phone number. In fact, larger companies with multiple locations may only wish to include a recognizable logo or the company name.

Make sure the print clearly stands out with a contrasting color ink. Otherwise it may blend in with the pattern on the fabric.

Promote Your Brand to Outdoor Workers Using Water Bottle Lanyards

Billions of outdoor workers brave the elements everyday. So, why not market your brand to these workers? Every time they take a break from the hot sun to re-hydrate, they will see your company's logo.

Land surveyors, for example, often spend 12 hour days in the hot sun. The job usually requires toting around heavy equipment. Land surveying can be strenuous at times too, requiring large chunks of branches to be chopped with machete's. They need to re-hydrate often and this is a great opportunity to market many products, including beverage brands and brands selling surveying tools and equipment.

Many other construction fields, besides surveying, are also great marketing opportunities. Construction managers must frequently check on progress around the construction site and benefit from using water-bottle lanyards. This is a great opportunity for tool companies, surveying companies and even other contractors.

Pest control workers also spend a lot of time in the heat of the day. Besides applying pesticides, the job often requires carefully measuring large amounts of property to give accurate estimates. They also spend time inspecting property for home appraisals. You may want to send some water-bottle lanyards to pest-control companies if you are a provider of pest control products or beverage company.

There are many other field where advertising with water-bottle lanyards may be beneficial. The product doesn't necessarily need to be industry focused either. Custom printed water bottle lanyards may influence outdoor workers to drink your sports drink or decide to try your restaurant, as they get hungry for lunch.

The Top 5 Uses for School Lanyards

Lanyards are an inexpensive way to mark certain people in school, at school events, and on school outings.  They are reusable and extremely cost effective which speak to environmental conscientiousness and budgetary needs.  Here are the top 5 uses for lanyards in education:

1.  Student Positions.  If you school gives different jobs to different students during the school year and those jobs are constantly rotating people for the duties then a lanyard can be invaluable.  Each lanyard can be printed with the school name and have a tag attached to them that state what the student’s position is.  For instance, if your school implements a hall monitor position for students then a lanyard can be used to identify this position with ease.

2.  Identifying Chaperones.  During school outings, it is often policy to include several parental chaperones to help keep the children in line.  Unfortunately, gone are the days where all the parents knew the other parents and where all the kids knew all the parents.  Lanyards are an easy way to help the kids identify who is there to help and to help the teacher and the staff of the facility the field trip to do the same.

3.  Keeping Supplies.  If your class is taking a field trip to a museum, art gallery, or even a musical event and they need to be taking notes for tests and/or projects back at the school and it is preferable for them to bring nothing but themselves then lanyards that have alligator clips attached can be very useful.  Alligator clips or even cell phone straps can be used to contain a small spiral notebook and a pen so students have each within easy reach for note taking and it’ll make it very hard for the students to lose their notes this way.

4.  Rotating Achievements.  The use of a lanyard to notate in class achievements is a great way to give students a sense of accomplishment while teaching them the art of sharing glory.  Perhaps you have a weekly test that you want students to excel at.  Get a lanyard that has the school colors and school name and choose the lanyard with the LED light.  Have the light printed with “#1 Speller” or “#1 Math Whiz” or any other achievement.  Allow the student who achieves this place to wear the lanyard for the day or the week during class.

5.  Group Leaders.  On a school sport’s day or during gym class or class projects it can be helpful to identify the leaders of a group on any given day.  For instance, to help students recognize that certain uniforms indicate when someone is the “boss” you can use a lanyard done in school colors for the leaders of each project group.  This person will make the presentation and delegate tasks.  The lanyard, of course, can be reusable for each subsequent project.

There are many uses for custom lanyards in schools, and while many of them may be small applications, they are still immensely helpful in achieving whatever task is at hand.
