Custom Lapel Pins: The Perfect Collector’s Item

Collecting lapel pins is a hobby that many people love and enjoy around the world.

For some collectors it is a way to connect with other people who share the same interest or the same enthusiasm, while for others is more personal and maybe just an individual challenge.

Popular collectible lapel pins are sports pins, olympic pins, flag pins, political pins, Disney pins, etc.

We found this article online about an unusual collection of photos, stuffed animals, lapel pins and much more that is going to be auctioned, but, what make this collection special is that all the items display bulldogs!

For more than 30 years, Sam Seidman, who lived in the Gov. Samuel Walker McCall Mansion in Waltham, Mass., collected all things bulldog. Upon his death two years ago, friends contacted Hampton auctioneer Harvey Webber, of H.G. Webber Antiques & Auctions, to liquidate Seidman's estate.

It took Webber two years to create a catalogue of the more than 1,000 items and prepare them for auction. The auction, held at the Galley Hatch Conference Center on Route 1, began Saturday and will continue all day Sunday starting around 9 a.m. Items range in value from just a few dollars to thousands, Webber said, and include lapel pins, diamonds and table place settings. – Seacoastonline.com

Collecting and Trading Pins are the perfect hobbies for someone who has a special interest and will love to link up with other fellows. So, why don’t have your own special Custom Lapel Pin that you can trade? For more information please visit Custom Pins

Custom Belt Buckles - An Unique Way to Communicate Your Message

Custom Belt Buckles can be done in several creative ways. They are often used by companies as promotional items or personalized gifts. The main goal is to reward your customers and to give them something to remember your logo and your brand. Custom Belt Buckles work really well, they have a high perceived value and since people will use them your brand will get more exposure.

Another common use for Custom Belt Buckles is to commemorate clubs or organizations memberships. Members or fans can show them proudly telling everybody that they belong to that specific group.

Let's think about a motorcycle club or a musical band, more likely they already have personalized jackets or custom lapel pins exhibiting the group's name, however, if they're looking for something different and special to identify themselves or to make a statement by promoting their name or logo, Custom Belt Buckles are a great option.

Surely, we can not miss the patriotic or Support Our Troops belt buckles. Even more, they can work as a fundraising tool for any cause if we sell them.

If you're going to order Custom Made Belt Buckles you need to think about what shape, colors and the kind of design you would prefer. Your final design will be determined by your specific goals and what you would like to communicate.

Reward Your Best Customers with Customized Cufflinks

Getting an existing customer to buy again is by far easier than attracting a new one. For that reason, it's totally worth it to invest in your more important customers so they'll purchase from you many times.

One way to increase your customer's loyalty is by offering them special promotions or discounts so they'll be motivated to get your products or services one more time.
 
Another common loyalty strategy is to reward them with special gifts. The main goal for this strategy is to make them feel valued and important.

A company doesn't have to spend thousand of dollars to reward its customers. Indeed, it'll depend on the size of the company and the available budget. But small or medium size businesses can implement this strategy as well, it's about being creative and thinking what your customers would like to have.

An excellent alternative is Customized Cufflinks with your name and logo on it!

Cufflinks are very popular among professional and executives, however, they're not just appropriate for suit and tie clothing, a casual look can also be enhanced by wearing them. For instance, a casual shirt with blazer possibly will look more polished with cufflinks because they add structure.

Your Personalized Cufflinks can be made in silver, gold or bronze plating. They can have color or not. They can be sandblasted or antiqued. The options are endless!

Christmas are around the corner, so, if you want to increase your brand awareness and enhance your corporate identity, why do not surprise your best customers with beautiful cufflinks?

Personalized Golf Ball Markers - The Perfect Promotional Item for Your Company

Golf is a very popular sport among Americans. Many golfers remark that playing golf is relaxing because it takes the mind away from day to day problems, in other words, they get an "emotional refreshment" by hitting a few holes.

Besides clubs and balls, there're many golf accessories out there. The more obvious will be shoes, bags and even apparel. However, we're not even closer!! A serious golfer will consider Golf Gloves, Golf Watches and even Golf Hats a must in his outfit.

Today, we want to talk about Golf Ball Markers, which is a small marker that is placed on the ground to show where a ball was. They are very important. During the game balls can come into close contact with one another, so to avoid the risk of having your ball thrown off people use markers to indicate the place of a ball.

Since Golf is about precision, any serious golfer would need to have his own Golf Ball Marker to differentiate himself from others.

Companies are always looking for promotional products to give away to their customers, but, I would like to point out here that an ideal promotional item needs to have two characteristics to be effective:

  • Your customers have to like it and hopefully use it or exhibit it
  • It needs to have your logo or brand properly displayed

A custom made Golf Ball Marker fulfill both objectives! They're the perfect option for you if you're looking for a promotional product that we'll valued to your customers and beautiful and the same time.

So, do you think your customers are Golf Lovers? For more information about our promotional items please visit Personalized Golf Ball Markers or call (888) 720-2115.

A Must Know Tradeshow Strategy

At tradeshows or expos the way a company presents its booth is crucial.

In this kind of events we need to standout from other exhibitors getting people's attention and making them to stop by.

For sure, you need a vinyl banner with the company's logo or name, that's the best way to "dress" your booth and make people to know who they are talking to.

However, we need to be very careful here. Some people use "template" banners, the ones that look like a cookie cutter design. These kind of banner could potentially damage your brand because they don't look professional.

Alternatively, we have custom made banners, which are created by a design artist following the company specifications. With a good design, you have the capability to transmit your company's vision and also by using the adequate colors, you can influence positively in your prospects making them more willing to listen to your offer or even better to buy your products.

The Wings Society - Using Custom Lapel Pins To Recognize Donors

Women in Aviation International (WAI), is a nonprofit organization devoted to provide networking, education and scholarship opportunities for women who want to fulfill careers in the aviation and aerospace industries.

WAI just launched the program "The Wings Society" to recognize donors. A minimum cumulative $ 500 donation will enroll any person to this program.

"The Wings Society has six levels of participation with the lapel pin becoming more valuable with the cumulative amount of the donation. The levels start with a pearl lapel pin for $500 to $999 in donations and escalate through bronze, silver, gold, platinum and end with a diamond pin for cumulative donations in excess of $20,000." - General Aviation News -

A very important characteristic of this program is that donations are cumulative, so people don't have to make a big donation at once to be part of this, anyone can become a member after they reach the $500 threshold in whatever period of time.

We love WAI program! It will work very well motivating people to donate, they will look forward to get the initial pearl recognition pin and if they have the possibilities to contribute more, they will try to go for the next levels.

On the other hand, these custom made lapel pins are the perfect advertising tool for Women in Aviation International. Donors will feel proud to wear them and other people will see them and know about the program and its goals.

Finally, the idea to name the program "The Wings Society" is wonderful, it gives the program a sense of community or exclusive club that people will be enthusiastic to be part of.

So, if you have a fundraising effort going on, maybe you can get inspired by this idea and add some excitement to your campaign. You don't have to invest a lot of money in gold lapel pins if you don't want to, custom lapel pins offer several options and you can personalize them according to your preferences.

Good luck!

Lapel Pins and Politics Gone Wrong - Part 2

The stories keep coming and coming. Left and right, time after time, politicians and government are being critized by what some consider misuse of tax payers money.

I believe it would be different if the economy wasn't so bad. People are being more vigilant of how their hard earned money is being spent. And they should!

The latest story is about the G8 and G20 meetings, where the amount spent in gifts to international representatives is under fire.

The 'troubled' spends include among others, the following promotional items

Among the highlights: $3,039 for woven shawls by Huntsville' artist Marni Martin and $2,362.50 for crystal CN Tower replicas for the leaders' spouses; $2,560 for eight Hudson Bay blankets to give as gifts to political directors; $8,422 for Kanuk Umbrella coats in midnight blue for a march photo op with G8 Foreign Ministers; $32,000 on G8 and G20 lanyards, $24,297 on G20 lapel pins and zipper pulls; $750 for canoe paddles; $11,000 for a handmade Lindgren Pottery dining set for 24; $11,000 for pens; $3,136 for biodegradable pens; $8,267 for baggage handling carts and more than $1 million on IT equipment. Source

We all know that if you invite influential people to a meeting, they expect certain treatment and perks, otherwise you can be tilded of 'cheap'. Not that government likes that tag. But there are justifited expenses and some that are plain useless. Do tou really think these peopl care about a special logo 'zipper pull' enough to justify $10,000 ?  I don't think so. If money is tight, you should make adjustments and spend less in frivolous things - specially those that won't make a difference on the receiver- jewlery like custom lapel pins, on the other hand, have a higher perceived value and can be viewed as jewelry, and be more appreciated by those who wear them and receive them.

To finalize, I think people and government should be wiser with the money they manage, but let's face it, sometimes is not about 'needing' but 'wanting' and when we want something, we got to have it.

Limited Edition Lapel Pins To Celebrate National College Football Day

This Saturday November 6th is the 7th National College Football Day commemorating the 141st anniversary of the first collegiate game played.

This celebration, observed each year on the first Saturday of November, was created by the AT&T Cotton Bowl to pay tribute to those college students on November 1869 who left a perdurable legacy for our nation.

Since 2006, the chosen recipient organization for this holiday is The V Foundation for Cancer Research.


"The support we have received from these organizations has been phenomenal," said Rick Baker, President of the Cotton Bowl Athletic Association. "Thanks to these great partnerships, we have raised more than $50,000 for The V Foundation over the past three years, and we hope to build upon the success and continue to increase cancer awareness and raise money for a great cause." - Memphis Tigers -


This year and in order to celebrate College Football 141st birthday, the AT&T Cotton Bowl has created a special and limited edition lapel pins, which will be distributed nationwide among people involved, like coaches and sports publicists.

Custom made lapel pins are the perfect way for people to show their support by wearing them, moreover, if people wearing the pins are opinion leaders, the impact will be higher and as a result more people will get involved.

Limited edition lapel pins are an amazing idea for this kind of events. Making a custom pin special and exclusive will make people feel honored and more willing to wear them and to spread the word.

Doing a Fundraising? Get a Celebrity to Support your Cause

Each year UK people express their support for The Royal British Legion's charity work through the Poppy Appeal.

Every year, the Legion organizes a fund-raising drive in the weeks before Remembrance Sunday (second Sunday in November), during which artificial poppies are offered to the public in return for a charitable donation. Lapel Pins, Badges and Brooches are the most popular poppy emblems used in this campaign.

Celebrities like Dannii Minogue and Simon Cowell are supporting the cause as well. They wore beautiful and elegant poppy emblems on their respective recent TV appearances.

With this initiative, the exposure that the fundraising is getting is huge and definitively it will help to motivate people to get involved.


The Royal British Legion, which runs the appeal, said: ‘Shows like The X Factor are shown to millions of people and it is bound to raise awareness and encourage people to wear a poppy.’ Referring to the poppies worn by TV personalities, spokesman Robert Lee added: ‘On the internet there’s already been a huge demand for them and we’ve been inundated with calls from people wanting to know where to get them from. - Mail Online -

People are going online to look for poppy emblems and custom made lapel pins are a perfect option. Personalized pins are not expensive and they allow to include some intricate details depending on the type you choose. For example hard enamel pins provide a classic look and with a sandblast finish it will look like a fine piece of jewelry.

So, are you leading a fundraising drive? Try to get a public person or celebrity involved, he or she doesn't have to be a super star, maybe someone well known in your local community.

We know, it sounds difficult! You probably are saying, how I will get in contact with them? Here are some options: Email, Facebook pages or Twitter. Are they going to respond? We definitively don't know but for sure it'll worth it to give it a try. Good luck!
