Top 3 Reasons for Corporate Incentives

From seminars to business dinners, personalized ribbon is welcome at any table!

Corporate events have a plethora of purposes and goals. Most companies recognize the need for a regular event for employees and clientele. These events help to promote their brands and provide continued employee loyalty. However, many corporations don’t understand that gifts and incentives contribute to maintaining that commitment.

Incentives provide a way to reinforce the goal of each event you hold. So, why are they so important?

Promote Business Goals

Giving away an object that not only represents your company but is branded with your logo or name, promotes your brand and corporation. And, now it’s free marketing. Giving a gift with personalized ribbons wrapped around it will make it more memorable. This gift now creates a valuable tie to your company. So, make sure to give something that people will want to keep.

Showing Appreciation

Incentives are a great way to express your gratitude and appreciation to anyone who has been a part of your event or team. Employees and guests alike are sure to enjoy their tokens of thankfulness, especially when they are personalized for the recipient. Custom ribbons make this task easy. Simply tie a bow around the object, and you’re sure to get the thank you’s right back.

Marketing and Advertising

Logos and personalization make anything a marketable item! And, they create an immediate connection with those who could be your most loyal employees or customers. These gifts can also entice those who don’t own the personalized gift into purchasing one for themselves. And, with personalized ribbon, they can see the benefit of giving incentives as well.

Incorporating corporate incentives takes work.

Now that you know how important an incentive is, it’s time to get to work! And remember that it isn’t just the item that you are giving away, it is also the packaging. Don’t forget to add the custom ribbon to enhance the look of your gift. They will look great and give an excellent impression of your company.

Unique Uses for Ribbon at All Weddings

Personalized ribbons make weddings absolutely perfect!

Gifts and invitations are as traditional as they come, but ribbons have numerous uses at a wedding!

Rolls are the most commonly used ribbon type. Use them party favors, for gift cards and presents, in decorations and accents, on corsages, cake decoration, and bouquet wraps. Personalize any of these ribbon types with wedding dates, names or other relevant information.

Centerpieces are a must for all weddings. Any flower choice will look lovely in a simple wine glass wrapped with your personalized ribbon. Each ribbon may have an imprint of the bride and groom’s names and dates on a ribbon color to match your wedding theme. Or match two or more ribbon colors for a unique look.

Satin ribbon is a gorgeous accent to any wedding décor. Wrap vases and flowers with personalized ribbons for centerpieces on tables. Create custom pieces by having names and dates printed onto the smooth ribbon. From the simple to the complex, your centerpieces should reflect your wedding colors and theme.

Candle holders are also a great, and easy, idea for a lovely centerpiece. Pair colors to match them to your wedding theme and tie a simple bow around a glass votive candle holder. Using a lighter color satin ribbon under a sheer organza ribbon is perfect for any text showing through. Give these cute candles as favors after the wedding.

Creative Ribbon Rolls: Kanzashi Flowers

When most people think of ribbon rolls, they consider wrapping presents or decorating for a party or some other function. Some people, however, think “what can I do with this that will make it quirky?” Here’s an idea to get your creative juices flowing! Kanzashi Flowers!

We love sharing the way people around the world use ribbons! Kanzashi are traditional Japanese folded flowers. These flowers are made from small squares of silk, fabric or ribbon, and are typically worn by women as hair ornaments.

Kanzashi flowers are traditionally made with habotai silk giving them a vibrant color and rich texture. However, some people create these flowers with ribbon or other fabrics.

Making kanzashi flowers takes patience and a lot of practice. There are several ways to make these flowers, depending upon the ribbon type you are using and what kind of flower you are creating. Some people reinforce the flowers by sewing the petals together or gluing beads and buttons into the center of the blooms.

While kanzashi are traditionally used as hair ornaments, these lovely flowers have a variety of other uses:

Secure a flower to a pin or wearable magnet and wear it as a brooch.

Sew flowers to the bottom of a scarf or the brim of a winter hat.

Add a flower to a gift in place of a ribbon.

Sew flowers to your favorite accent pillow.

Arrange several flowers in a glass bowl for a unique centerpiece.

How To Make Kanzashi Flowers

Take your ribbon and fold it across the width to get a triangle and with that as a template cut it out into square pieces. The number of pieces you need will depend on the width of the ribbon.

Fold the square into a triangle first and bring together the corners. Now, fold this shape again along the newly formed edge and the gathered corner. Be sure to secure the cut edges using a lighter or another flame. Hot glue also works to hold the petals together.

Once you have finished all folding, you will have three folds parallel. Make sure to align them properly/evenly so that your flower petal looks symmetrical.

Now that your petals are ready, all you need to do is to apply hot glue on the sides of each flower petals and glue them together to form a ring of petals which will resemble a flower in any case.

While there are many tutorials online for making kanzashi flowers and ornaments, here are a couple of pictures to get any creative mind working at full capacity.

From invitations to decorations, no event is complete without ribbons!

You can promote any event with custom and personalized ribbons. Imprinted ribbons prove over and over again to be valuable networking and marketing tools. They are also great for brand recognition. And, when choosing ribbons for your next event, there are several questions to consider.

What type of ribbons are most commonly used during an event?

Your ribbon type choice depends on a number of things. First, ask yourself what your goal is. Why are you holding this event? The answers to these questions will provide you with what needs to be imprinted on your ribbon choice. It will also give you an idea as to which ribbons to choose.

For example, if you are throwing a birthday party, you would use different ribbon types than if you were to hold and awards banquet. Also, your ribbon message would be very different. For a birthday, you might choose a colorful ribbon roll with a “Happy Birthday” message. As for the awards banquet, a rosette ribbon with the words “First Place” would be a little more appropriate.

Who uses ribbons at an event?

Everyone! Don’t limit your thinking when it comes to using ribbons during any event. All ribbon types can be utilized at all events. The key here is to make sure the correct message is being displayed. Make sure that your color choice matches any theme you might have, and also the message doesn’t say “Condolences” during that awards banquet!

Many of these ribbons can be ordered as custom or stock and both have their benefits. With custom ribbons, text can be created to send any message the user wants.
