Lanyard design
Lanyards are a great item to invest in if you are looking to market, advertise, or promote a company and its goods and services or if you want to give a gift to a team or club or some other group of people. These items are inexpensive and can be customized to fit your needs.
When it comes time to choose a lanyard, one should consider everything from the color of the piece to the type of attachment they’d like on it. There are a lot of options to consider, so it’s best to take your time. Think about the group the lanyards will go to: If you are giving lanyards to a bunch of bankers they will probably look differently than if you are promoting a Mardi Gras party. One way to help you choose the color lanyard and the color of the printing is to consider if your team or company has colors or a logo. You can incorporate these items into the piece.

Convenient and inexpensive lanyards are increasingly popular in our lives; they are worn in schools and universities, as well as government agencies, hospitals, and many private businesses. Lanyards can be personalized in a huge range of colors and imprinted with a personalized logo or image. The wide variety of options in hardware, including alligator clips, swivel hooks, split rings, and bulldog hooks increases the flexibility of lanyards. There are a few important considerations when ordering lanyards. (more…)
Funny Lanyard Story
I remember when I got my first lanyard. It was for a huge tradeshow we were presenting at, and the credentials that got you in came on a lanyard. I recall it was pretty plain, but it looked cool with my ID badge hanging from it. Well, my boss had the idea to get some printed up for employees that were going to the show to wear instead of the plain one. There were only about twenty of us, so it didn’t cost him much, but it had the company name and a cool slogan on it. (more…)
Glow Necklaces
Just like most products, a wholesale glow necklace is made to be of service or to fulfill a need. Glow necklaces fill a big need and provide a great service. Glow necklaces are used as jewelry, street wear, party favors, holiday fun, and there’s even a glow necklace apron available. There’s a glow necklace that fits almost everyone and the choices seem endless. The typical glow in the dark necklace is 22” and comes in different thicknesses but is usually 6 mm thick. The most popular wholesale glow necklace is sold in a variety pack, which includes several different colors. (more…)
Marketing after the Greats
“Because custom necklace lanyards are highly customizable with a wide variety of color and printed message options, they are also popular promotional products that are affordable even for companies or organizations with small marketing budgets.” (Necklace Lanyards for Brand Awareness, 2009)
People who know marketing will tell you that inventing new ways to market is like reinventing the wheel — it’s time consuming and pointless. Instead, great marketers recycle themes, giving old techniques a new spin. If you’re looking to market after the greats, lanyards are a perfect recycled marketing technique.

Here are some creative ways to make use of the lanyard as a marketing scheme:
– Along with essential contact information (phone number, email, website, etc.), include an inspirational message on the lanyard that will make people smile and encourage them to carry it around everywhere.
– Give out lanyards as part of a larger prize or complimentary gift. Attach the lanyard to a USB drive, a small flashlight, or a pen, and the simple lanyard becomes an essential item people will want to carry around with them everywhere.
– Consider giving lanyards out to certain groups or at events, and make the lanyards relative to that group. Include a date, names, or other information to personalize the lanyards; or customize them for the whole group so the lanyard becomes a source of identity for them.
– Promote causes with your business lanyards. Include the essential information, but customize the lanyard to make it relative to the cause. For breast cancer awareness month, for example, order pink lanyards, or black ones with the pink cancer awareness ribbon symbol. There are so many causes you can promote — pick the most suitable one, or choose a different cause from time to time.
The ideas are endless, but lanyards are a great way to market, so take advantage of them!
“Personalized lanyard design options allow you to create neck lanyards for your team, employees, school or organization that will promote identity within the group, as well as promote your product, service, team or group to others.” (Custom Lanyard Design for Promotion and Team Building, 2009)
“In addition, many companies successfully run special online promotions such as free shipping or 25% off all lanyards that are purchased via your website. This is a great way to drum up business in a shaky economy and get your lanyards recognized by top companies and organizations.” (Allanis Yard, 2009)

Name Tag Lanyards
This year, I sent my daughter off to Girl Scout camp with a large pile of name custom tag lanyards to pass out to all of her new friends. Mary, my daughter, is a shy girl, and I thought that if she had a little gift for everybody at camp that some of these other girls might try to be friendly with her. When Mary got home from camp and I opened her duffle bag, there were all of the name tag lanyards – each now sporting the name of some other little girl. Mary’s excuse for collecting everybody’s name tag lanyards was simply that she liked them and wanted to keep them all. I was so embarrassed!
