Custom Made Pins for Small Businesses

Hopefully I have enlightened some of you of the reasons for choosing custom made lapel pins and buttons to promote your small or medium size business. I have yet to determine whether I should start promoting some of the lapel pin companies that are producing nice quality custom made lapel pins. I am still in the mood of telling you the advantages of promoting the business using custom made pins therefore please fasten your seatbelt. We may be going at a very low speed and trust me, it is going to be a very long journey. For some who have just visited this very blog of mine, I’m trying to discuss about using promotional items such as custom made lapel enamel pins or customized buttons.

In the past, I have mentioned how your competitors will spy on you in their efforts to get the upper hand in the business. Well, at least now you know that you are not alone in the business, think of the bright side, you have enemies that you can turn as friends. Foes they are, maybe, but they are essential in your business to determine whether you are running business the right way or going the other way round. What do you think of having pedestrians on the streets of the New York wearing your custom made lapel pins? Do you feel proud or what? Some may think, what gives and some may think that that is awesome. Well, it is awesome, to me at least.

How to ensure that people love to wear your customized pins and at the same time they can also talk about it? Well the very first thing you need to prepare is the awesomeness of your business and service. Every single time they come and visit your business, do take the effort to talk to them and praise them for choosing the right merchant in the town to serve their needs. Let your customers know that you are grateful to have them as customers and the same time they will return the favor by promoting your business through word mouth advertising and of course by wearing your beautiful custom made lapel pin.

Custom pins are not just simple forgettable promotional items like other items. They are unique in its way since they represent your company and the same time act as a fashionable item. If you are promoting a cause for something such as breast cancer awareness program, your breast cancer awareness custom made pin should look really nice and stand out amongst other custom pins. That way people will turn and look at you twice to take a thorough look at your pin and eventually you have the time and chance to tell them about your objective and agenda. If you don’t take it seriously by simply ordering ready made buttons, they would look unexceptionally very dull and ugly and absolutely no one would take a look at it. Learn to capture human’s eyes and how their react to colors and shapes.

Easiest example would be the difference between a black and white ready made pin and a vast colored custom made lapel pin. Even a little toddler would easily identify which one would be more attractive in terms of looks. How about the value of the pin? Of course, the value for the colored custom made one would be higher; in fact the value is way higher that the black and white pin. This is a very simple and classic example on how colors can change our life. Colors can change how people react to something they are not familiar with. People will usually try their best to avoid touching unusual and ugly colored things but at the same time they love to touch and play with nice and beautiful colored things. Children love to play colored balls and marbles. Women on the other hand love to buy colorful clothing and garments.

Bright colors such as red and yellow are best examples of colors you should utilize whenever you want to order pins that are custom made. I am in no position of advising you what color you should use when creating your company logo or board but I do believe that using the right color at the right time is as much as essential as choosing your shop location and what racks to use in your grocery shop. Take some time to browse all available of company logos on the internet and you will get some idea on which color to use and what shape to use. Spend some time to do that and don’t feel regret of doing so. You are spending a few minutes or hours of your time doing the right thing and not something that is wasting your time. You are deciding at least 30% of what will your company be in the next 10 to 20 years.

If you are not in the mood of choosing colors, or perhaps you are color blind, then it is time for you to hire someone to choose what color to use to create your custom made pin. You can hire a freelance which you can look up on the internet. There are a massive number of them available not just in the United States but also all over the world. Allow me to give you a simple tip. Get into a design forum and hire someone who reside in countries with lower currency than US Dollars and you might end up paying a very cheap cost in returns of a high quality company log to be printed on custom enamel pins!

Now that you already have a company logo, it’s about time to get it printed on the pins. Now what type of pin you should choose? Well, first of all we have to determine what would be the shape of your custom made pin. Do you want a typical round shape pin? Or do you prefer to have the pin to follow the shape of your company logo? If your company logo is in round shape, then it is best to just order the typical round shape pin as that suits your needs. Besides, a round shape logo always looks nice in a round shape area. If your logo is more to rectangle shape, well there are choices you can choose for that too. The important part here is to choose a shape that matches your company logo. Don’t haste and trust me, something that looks good may not look good on something else if they don’t match. A perfect clothing such as a tuxedo may not look good on a fat boy, if you know what I mean.

In other words, this is only part of what you need to know to choose and determine what you should print on that custom made lapel pin before you can start ordering. Remember, stay focus on your business first and plan your decision wisely and you will eventually end up with great stuffs. I’ve seen people come and go in businesses and most of those who fail share one common problem; they rushed at a very high speed without thinking much. They forgot that they have enemies in their businesses and they also forgot to plan their great ideas wisely and thoughtfully.

We will continue in the next post as I have to stop now (I’ve got some personal matters to arrange). If you have any question, please do not shilly-shally to leave your comment. Thanks a lot for visiting.
