News Some of the amazing uses for Lanyards!

July 08th, 2016

Lanyards have been popular for years in day-to day business. In case you don’t already know, a lanyard is a length of material that is sewn in a loop and fitted with a hook or a clip on the end. It’s worn around the neck like a necklace holding thing like an ID badge or keys from the end fitting. So that’s what a lanyard is, but what are they used for?

Promotional Uses

Many business owners choose to use them as a promotional tool. You can personalise or customise lanyards with a logo, company name, contact details and other information that could be scooped up by potential customers. Think of a lanyard as essentially someone walking around wearing an ad around their neck full view of other people – it’s a prime advertising space. We recommend that you deck your staff out with work lanyards that they wear to work daily. Include has your branding and make sure your logo is emblazoned across the material length. With this alone, you will have a targeted advertising item that is literally walking around at perfect viewing height. Staff will wear them out on lunch break or use them while not at work too! If you’re hosting an event, print your logo and branding onto the lanyard length and get your staff or conference visitors to wear them. Another idea is to include your website address and telephone number on the lanyard, which can increase traffic to your website and calls to your company.

Festivals, Parties & social events

Festivals often give out lanyards with festival guides and information around them. This can not only increase revenue, but also customer satisfaction. Some of the coolest parties around give out lanyards to party goers, including events where people are given a number hung from a lanyard to enter a competition or some such during the event! They’re also great because people tend to hold onto these kinds of items for keepsake and this creates a strong brand awareness for your company.

Conference Identification

If you’re throwing a conference or hosting an event, is probably won’t be free entry. In which case you will want to be able to identify people who have paid to be there. Also, you may want to have a panel of VIP delegates that are allowed into restricted areas. It is important to be able to quickly identify people with access to these areas, without security staff pestering them for credentials or information. You can simply lanyards in different colours to identify people of varying security access.
