10 Things Your Business Name Tags Tell The World

[Mickey Arledge]

Name tags are a small and often overlooked business "accessory" but, on a subconscious level, they say a lot about a company:

1. Sophisticated metal nametags tell the world that your business is on the cutting edge. They make the company look sharp and they tell people the company is "high end".
2. Plastic name tags tell everyone that your business is dependable. They can be made in various colors so they'll match uniforms or company colors. And plastic nametags are sturdy, so they project an image of reliability.
3. Fun-shaped nametags will make your company seem like a fun place to shop or do business with! Customers remember the vet who wears the bone-shaped name tag faster than the one with the plain old rectangular one.
4. Engraved name tags show you care enough to attend to the smallest details. Engraving on a name tag sets the tone of the uniform the employee is wearing and makes the business look classy.
5. Visitor name tags tell people you are not familiar with the company (or at least that you aren't familiar with the division you are visiting). They encourage interaction with the employees and can bring you special attention (a cup of coffee or helpful guidance if you are lost in a big building) that you might not ordinarily get.
6. Custom name tags show that you want to be remembered! Since you can put your company logo on the nametag, you also have another opportunity to "brand" your image and company into the customer's subconcious.
7. Window nametags show that your company is easy to work with. The window-type of name tag is made with the company logo and can be customized to fit the business' needs. For example, a flower shop can have a window name tag made in the shape of a shop window with an awning hanging over it. Then, flowers can be printed in the background and the company name on the awning. The resulting name tag projects an image of the store as well as of the business name and employee name. Again, another subtle imprint or bond is made with the customer.
8. Convention name tags can be a walking billboard for your business. Don't just write "Jack" on the tag. Write something eye-catching, like "Ask me about widgets!" Suddenly, people know you're the go-to person if they are interested in buying or using widgets. If your name tag is catchy, you'll generate interest anywhere on the floor, not just when you are standing at your booth.
9. Magnetic name tags tell your employees that you care about them. Their clothes won't be ruined by those sharp metal pins sticking through the fabric and they won't tear their clothing if they catch a magnetic name tag on something.
10. Executive name tags aren't just for executives! They combine many of the best features of other nametags (magnetic backing, metal frame for durability, and engraving) and since they look chic and upscale, so does your company.
