Four Benefits of Custom Lapel Pins

Looking for a way to catch the eye of your customers, both existing and potential? Are you curious if there’s a way you can encourage teamwork and a sense of company pride among employees?

Combining the two of these might sound next to impossible. Thanks to lapel pins, you can accomplish both goals at once. Yes, those little pins folks like to wear and even collect!

Ready to learn more? Get ready to discover four benefits of custom lapel pins and how they can help your business.

Custom Lapel Pins

1. People Gravitate Toward Collecting Lapel Pins

Lapel pins have longstanding popularity among people of all different backgrounds. From folks who collect pins created for charities to Disney pins, there’s a market for just about any type of lapel.

One upside to branding with your company logo is the fact that you can create demand without trying too hard. Folks who are interested in lapel pins can go home and look up your company.

With a little bit of viral marketing in the form of fashion, you’ll develop a name and brand that people remember.

2. You Can Create Special Pins For an Event

Are you planning a grand opening, special sale weekend or another type of event? This is a great time to have pins created.

Pass them out to folks and they’re sure to take them. Many people enjoy free swag, especially when attending events where purchases aren’t mandatory.

Once your company becomes popular, your pins can become a rare or sought-after collector’s item.

3. Having More Than One Type of Pin Makes Them Special

Consider making lapel pins for different events, people, and even times of the year. For example, create lapel pins that are only for staff members. These can mention their position or how many years of service they’ve provided to the company.

Employees appreciate it when they’re recognized for hard work. Giving them a unique pin offers a simple way to accomplish that.

Make a pin for a special event or one that you pass out only on one day a year, such as a customer appreciation pin. There’s no limit to what you can accomplish with lapel pins and company promotion.

The more that you have that are limited edition, the greater chances for collecting and demand among customers. And it goes without saying that as they travel further, more people can learn about your business and what it has to offer.

4. Lapel Pins Go With Anything

One reason these pins are so popular is that they go with anything. They can get pinned on any type of shirt, a purse, or even a dress suit.

If you want a promotional item for your company that anyone can enjoy, even if they’re not a consumer of your product or service (yet!), choose lapel pins. Their versatility is popular and they’ll carry on the message for many years to come.

Top 5 Reasons to Give Employee Gifts

Top 5 Reasons to Give Employee Gifts

Showing your appreciation to employees is very important. And gifts are a great way to do it. Read on to learn why to give employee gifts.

Is your business suffering a lack of morale and high turnover? You already provide adequate pay and bonuses, but your employees still feel underappreciated. That’s because money doesn’t equal appreciation. But gifts do. There are many reasons that employee gifts are better motivators than cash. Check them out below.

1. Gifts are More Personal Than a Monetary Bonus

The value of a gift is more than just the dollar amount. A well-thought-out gift shows the giver knows you well enough to give you something you’ll love. It makes you feel the giver cares about you. If they simply gave you the cash value of the gift, it would not have the same effect. A gift makes you feel more noticed and personally connected to the giver.

Conversely, there is no way to personalize money. The only way the added value described above comes across is with a non-monetary gift.

2. It Helps Employees Feel Valued

Because of the care that goes into gift giving, recipients feel much more valued than they do from a monetary bonus. The giver spends time and effort picking out the gift for the recipient. This level of care doesn’t go unnoticed by the recipient.

But don’t take our word for it. This global survey found that non-monetary incentives are more effective for motivating employees than money.

3. Gifts are More Exciting Than Money

Gifts are always a unique surprise, and they’re always new and exciting. They are also very versatile. You can choose the perfect gift to fit the theme of any gift-giving event. But money is always the same, and its meaning doesn’t change. Plus it doesn’t feel like a gift. When it’s bundled into your paycheck, it just feels like wages.

4. Employee Gifts Reduce Turnover

If you think money is all your employees care about, you’re sorely wrong. Employees can get money from any job. But feeling appreciated by their employer is a rare treasure most jobs don’t provide.Giving employee gifts sets you apart as more appreciative than most bosses they could work for. Appreciated employees are far less likely to leave for another job with the same or slightly better pay.

5. Gifts Build Loyalty

Giving gifts doesn’t just keep your long-time employees from leaving. It works on new employees, too.

If you have high turnover amongst new employees, start offering gifts before they would typically quit. For example, if many of your new hires tend to quit after 2 months, start offering a bonus gift in the second month of employment. Perhaps they were only planning on working for a couple months in the first place. But a company that shows their appreciation right off the bat may be worth sticking around.

Show Your Appreciation With Employee Gifts

Stop expecting money to boost morale at your business. It doesn’t work. Instead, start giving employee gifts any time your team needs a morale boost. Appreciation gifts make employees feel like winners. And employees who feel like winners act like winners.
