Event Branding with Ribbon Wristbands

We are always looking for new ways to use custom ribbon rolls.

Here’s what we found this week:Event Ribbon Wristbands!

Order customized ribbon rolls with a school’s name, a program name, a company or even an event name. Once you receive the ribbon rolls, simply cut them to the desired length and secure these ribbon wristbands around attendee’s wrists. Ribbon wristbands are easy to attach by either tying or with double sided tape. Save time by attaching a piece of double sided tape or some Velcro to each of the wristbands prior to your event.

Ribbon wristbands are great for school events. Ordering ribbon rolls is easy and is an inexpensive option compared to locating tickets and other paraphernalia needed to monitor attendance or security at an event. When imprinted with school information, these wristbands become a fun keepsake for students and other attendees. Wristbands are even great for fundraisers, used for school spirit, or corporate events.

Custom ribbon wristbands can also boost a corporate brand or image. Give any brand or sponsor the attention they need and deserve by adding a small logo or text to any custom ribbon roll. When event guests and attendees wear these matching wristbands, you will reach maximum exposure. Often these wristbands are worn for days, if not weeks, after any event and continue to be word-of-mouth advertising and marketing for long after the actual event.

Recently there has been a surge toward wristbands that are more versatile than the typical plastic, one time use, or paper wristbands. Ribbon wristbands are a great replacement for these temporary ones. Wristbands can be custom imprinted with most any message or small logo and will continue to bring in revenue and advertising after your event. Wristbands provide event planners with a more attractive accessory for any event that will double as a keepsake for any attendee.

Making the Most of Stackable Badge Ribbons

Badge ribbons help make the wearer stand out from the crowd. They are also an effective way to make an initial introduction and break the ice for those attending a social meeting. Find these crowds anywhere, but most people obtain ribbons from trade shows, conventions, conferences, meetings or other social functions.

As people collect badge ribbons from a conference or convention, they serve different purposes. So, what happens when these ribbons are all combined? And where do you put them all? People use every badge ribbon they get as an identifier and visual stimulant for themselves.

Badge holders are one of the best places to attach any badge ribbon. They extend the name and title of the person wearing them. The ribbons are “stackable,” so the wearer does not have to pick and choose which ones to add to their name badges.

Each title can range from Council Member and President to Greeter and Sponsor. Personalized Ribbons offers an abundance of these stock badge ribbons, and each title comes in several choices of color. Each title will help anyone stand out in any crowd.

Benefits of stacking badge ribbons

It is always fun to think outside the box and develop unique ways to personalize badge ribbons to meet the needs of any social function. Custom order creative titles, so not everyone has to have an official title attached to their name badge.

You do not have to limit badge ribbons to just professional functions. Find these ribbons at parties, weddings and other intimate or family events.

Fundraisers are also a common place to see these ribbons. They are an excellent tool for identifying each fundraiser’s cause or support group. Choose a color, such as pink for breast cancer support or a rainbow ribbon for autism supporters, and then add a title or function for the wearer to attach to their name badge.

Customize these ribbons in horizontal and vertical designs to meet any need for any function. They are not only versatile but also affordable. Do not limit yourself on these great personalizing tools. You can even order blank ribbons to identify specific groups by a single color worn by each person.

Badge ribbons are an excellent way to break the ice and stop awkward stares or uncomfortable moments when someone does not know what to say or how to introduce themselves. Stacking personalized ribbons on name badges is an effective way to identify any role at these events.

Events, Meeting & Convention Planning

Event planning is a marketing tool used by organizations of all sizes to communicate with current and potential clients. For many industries, nothing beats a hands-on experience created by personal interactions. Many large companies, organizations and individuals are now hiring event planners to take over planning and socializing for their events.

Event planning is the process of planning a festival, ceremony, competition, party, concert or convention. These events can range anywhere from a wedding to a small office meeting and anywhere in between. If not properly planned, any event could contain hitches and bumps along the way.

Generally speaking, there are two markets for event planning services: corporate and social. Corporations host trade shows, conventions, company picnics, meetings and holiday parties for employees, members or stockholders. Social events may include weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, parties, reunions and other events.

One of the first steps in succeeding as an event planner is finding a purpose or specialty. There are many different types of planners (wedding, large event, party, etc.), so finding a niche may just be the easiest task at hand.

There are many reasons to hire an event planner when planning an event or a party. Event planners coordinate all the necessary details of these events. And face it, event planning takes, well, planning. So, why not hire a professional? An experienced event planner should be able to bring anyone’s vision of an event out successfully.

To fully succeed, a good event planner must have a passion and an eye for detail. They also need drive and perseverance to stay in this competitive environment. Event planners play many roles during an event. Starting with the need to be a designer, they also need to be a leader, a problem solver, an innovator and a strategist. It is also important to have an appreciation for different cultures, religions and traditions.

Those seeking this line of work are encouraged to obtain a degree or certificate before starting in this vocation. Most experienced planners agree that jumping in head first is a bad idea as there is no foundation to stand on. Many encourage shadowing or volunteering with an experienced planner to develop the necessary rapport and tools.

Event planning is a highly competitive profession and anyone considering this line of work needs to show up with a loaded tool belt. This tool belt needs to come equipped with the ability and skill to determine not only a great and inviting theme, but also the ability to find vendors and suppliers to make any event come off without a hitch.

Effective communication is an important key to successfully researching, designing, planning and coordinating any special event. Event planning can be an overwhelming task if the correct tools are not readily available. It pays to know all available resources and will help when delegating responsibilities in advance.

Any time people gather together for a purpose, whether it’s for a conference, a formal dinner or a grand opening, someone is needed to manage all the event details to guarantee that it is a success. These details should also include any vendors such as caterers, photographers or speakers depending on the particular specialty.
