Personalized Ribbons Reinvented

Personalized ribbons are no longer just for wrapping presents!

From rosettes to badges, custom ribbons are a great tool to use at any time. While events, conventions and other parties are the most common usage of personalized ribbons, they are so versatile that you can use them almost anywhere.

Schools, sports teams and even wedding planners use custom and personalized ribbons on almost a daily basis. So, how can you reinvent something that is used so commonly?

First things first, let’s define why you need all those personalized ribbons.

So, why do you need a personalized or custom ribbon? With so many available ribbon types, reasons to personalize them are abundant. Giving homemade gifts, recognizing someone for a high achievement, and providing decorations for a party are all perfect reasons to customize ribbons. Add dates, names and quotes to ribbons. Or add a logo or other graphic to send a particular message to the recipient.

No matter your need, we’re sure to have the ribbon to match!

So, what ribbon types are available for those needs?

Ribbon rolls are the most common type of ribbon due to how versatile they can be. From wrapping presents to making decorations and even to doing craft projects, ribbon rolls are easy to form to almost any shape.

Rosette ribbons are not just for awards. Try a color scheme to match your next party and use them as decorations. They also make great wreaths. Whether it’s your achievement ribbons or ribbons purchased specifically for a project, rosette ribbons are better than you think.

Classic and badge ribbons are ideal for just as many things. While commonly used with name badges, that doesn’t mean that is all they are good for. Try using them in ice breaker games at your next party. Or use them as classroom awards or other teaching tools

And lastly, here are a couple of ideas to use those ribbons in your daily routine.

Many professionals use ribbons daily. Event planners, sports teams and teachers all use these tools every day. Use them for almost any project in your office or school. They will keep children of all ages entertained. Personalized ribbons are ideal for gift giving. But, no matter your reason to incorporate them into your daily routine, remember that customized is the best way to go!

Creative Ribbons: Family Reunions and Parties

Parties and summertime go hand-in-hand.
And so do family reunions!

No matter the size of your family, getting everyone together in one place and at one time is a huge undertaking. And making sure that everyone in attendance knows each other can be a daunting task.

Recently there was an online article about a family reunion with over 200 people in attendance. Crazy! So, what did they do to keep things as functional as possible? They gave everyone small strips of paper to write who their ancestors were. This helped to keep track of how everyone was related.

We’re taking this one step further! What about using badge ribbons?

Not only can these ribbons be used to label someone, but what about using blank ribbons to feature the names that associate you with those around you at the reunion?

In the article, the attendees were given blue papers for male names and pink ribbons for female names. If you don’t want to use this fun color idea, check out all the color options we have available!

Badge ribbons are also an excellent way to identify people. Start with name badges so that everyone won’t be guessing people’s names all day. Then, attach badge ribbons to familiarize each other with how they are related. Create custom ribbons with words such as father, aunt, cousin, sister or just choose the last name to indicate from which family line they originate.

Also, don’t forget the name badges so people can remember what the attendee’s name is!

From family reunions to summer work parties, another great use for these blank badge ribbons is party games. Use the different colors for different games or organization during the festivities. Design your own game using badge ribbons and either focus on the colors or write on them with a permanent marker.

Whatever your need at your next family reunion or party, make sure to remember that people need to be recognized and identifiable!

Marketing with Personalized Ribbons

The key to marketing is getting sales.
And the best way to do that is to make your brand memorable.

Sales and promotions stand out when you offer your business with a marketing strategy in mind. These plans typically include a handout or other trinket which people can take with them. This is particularly the case during a convention or other event.

Give your participants something different this time! What about some personalized ribbon wrapped around a pencil? Or a custom badge ribbon with your logo and slogan to remind them of your booth?

Whatever your choice for personalized ribbons, be sure to include a lasting message, logo and any other information that will make your company stand out in their minds. Marketing is mostly about the sale. But, more importantly, it’s about continued sales. And with this simple tool, those sales are bound to come rolling in.

From ribbon rolls to badge ribbons and even rosette ribbons, each ribbon can be used to bring in the crowd. With so many available colors to choose from, these are sure to attract even the most reluctant viewer at your next event.

And, hook them even further when they see how professional and unique ribbons can be!

Want to really draw attention? Include an eye-catching design element in your ribbons. Bright colors, catchy logos, and other unusual details make custom ribbons stand out wherever they are seen.

For long-lasting impressions, consider including a few pieces that will endure even after your promotion is over. Take some time to figure out what promotional item you want to give to prospective customers at your next event. These things could also go to current customers to encourage their loyalty to your company. Once you know what you want to give, consider how to present it with your newly branded and personalized ribbon!

Don’t forget that your brand needs to be memorable! Make sure your ribbons are what they are looking for with any of our custom ribbons.
