Make Your Activities Successful by Using Ribbons

Summertime is a great time to plan fun activities with friends, family and coworkers. As you start planning these activities, you can use ribbons to make them more successful and memorable. Here are some quick tips to help make your summer activities the best around.

Preparing Your Activities

Do you want participants to know who to contact while attending your activities? Have each of your activity planners wear a badge ribbon. Also, add custom text or graphics to these ribbons to help your participants recognize your planners.

As people arrive at these activities, give each one of them a badge holder with a badge ribbon. Customize each of them with a group name and image that you can use to organize everyone. Have your participants use their badge ribbon as entrance tickets to engage in your fun projects.

Creating Engagement

Your summer activities are incomplete without fun and challenging games. And games are enhanced by ribbons which are excellent for engaging and rewarding participants. Hold a competition in which participants collect a badge ribbon from each of your activities. Have each person collect a ribbon from each activity and turn them in for a prize.

Try blank badge ribbons for games that do not need text or graphics. Mix and match them with other ribbons for your various competitions. Also, offer different ways to attach these ribbons to clothing or other objects to make it easier for participants to engage in your games.

Do you have participants who want recognition when they win the competition? Reward each of your winners with a graphic ribbon. Customize them with a unique message that connects with your competitors, creating an unforgettable experience.

Build Lasting Connections

Recognize volunteers by having them wear a badge holder or name tag with an attached badge ribbon. You can choose from various stock titles that fit each volunteer position. People feel rewarded by these ribbons and want to retain them as a keepsake. Creating this connection will help build a positive relationship between you and your volunteers.

Show gratitude to participants who attend your activities by presenting them with a custom badge ribbon as a keepsake. Customize these ribbons with fun and memorable text related to your summer activities. Remember that these ribbons can help you connect with your participants and help show them appreciation for their attendance.

Attract new participants to your summer activities by handing out badge ribbons at popular gathering places. You can choose either a custom badge ribbon or a full color badge ribbon for your promotions. Each of these ribbons offers many benefits, such as the ability to add custom text and graphics. When new participants receive one of these ribbons from you, they will be more interested in participating in your activities.

Getting Started with Your Activities

Planning your activities can be fun and challenging, but where do you start? The first step is having your participants wear badge ribbons for identification. Next, create customized badge ribbons for awards. Finally, give badge ribbons as keepsakes to connect with present and future participants.

With the right badge ribbon for each activity, your summer activities will be a success and an unforgettable experience for you and your participants.

Customers perceive your brand based on different influential factors. Your product packaging is one of them. It all comes down to how you display and present your products. These factors influence your buyers and the people around them. So, make sure that your packaging tells the story you want from it. Within seconds, customers can tell a lot about your product just by its packaging. They can see the quality (or lack thereof) with a simple glance.

When thinking about product sales, make sure you remember this message: product packaging is key. While it may seem like a minor detail, don’t overlook its importance. For example, using ribbons in your packaging makes your product more appealing and helps your brand stand out.

Have you made product packaging an essential element of your marketing strategy? Whether your answer is yes or no, we have ribbons to solve your needs! After all, these are the custom ribbons that keep your customers coming back.

So, what is product packaging? It is the process of designing, evaluating and producing containers and wrapping for the products you offer. Packaging is an important element of your marketing strategy, and ribbons will help you stand out from competitors.

Branding with Product Packaging

The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines a brand as “a class of goods identified by name as the product of a single firm or manufacturer.” It is the overall perception and experience that customers associate with a particular company, product or service. They also define branding as “promoting a product or service by identifying it with a particular brand.”

If a picture is worth 1,000 words, a branded gift will leave your customers speechless, especially when you attach a gorgeous, custom ribbon. While your products may speak for themselves, it never hurts to give them a boost. Choose from a multitude of colors and personalizations to make these ribbons work for you.

Your Branding and Personalized Ribbons

According to a study by The Paper Worker, 52% of online consumers say they would likely return to a business for another purchase if they receive products in premium packaging. And 90% of consumers reuse product packaging boxes and bags after purchase. But the customer can even become another marketing channel: 40% would share a packaging photo if it is interesting. With that action, they recommend it to friends who might also become customers.

The key to product packaging is showing your customers that you care about meeting their product needs. Remember that first impressions matter, especially when it comes to a sea of packaging. So, show your appreciation on your packaging with a branded ribbon that will make your customers feel your quality.

Ribbons are an effective way to package your products. While a ribbon is often used as a decorative item, businesses can also use it for simple wrapping on a shoe box or a tag for something that is on sale. Ribbons are the ultimate staple of ornamental packaging while still maintaining simplicity. Choose from a variety of ribbon styles and a plethora of colors to brand your product packaging.

Holiday Product Packaging and Ribbons

Sometimes it’s the minor holidays that make the most impact on customers. For example, while Christmas and Thanksgiving encourage others to celebrate and share gifts, smaller holidays such as Mother’s day can hold a more personal meaning. And businesses can take advantage of this by using proper product packaging such as ribbons customized with individual messages.

Personalized ribbons like ribbon rolls and custom badge ribbons are made to order. So, get creative with your messaging, add ribbons to gifts and products, and even use them as sales reminders. Ribbon rolls are perfect for wrapping around flowers, boxes and more. Customize badge ribbons to attach to name tags, bags and other items to remind customers of upcoming holidays.

Traveling Ribbons: The Perfect Branding Tool

We’ve coined a new phrase: traveling ribbons! But what exactly does that mean?

Branded ribbon rolls are perfect to use as traveling ribbons on goody bags an other treats.

From badge ribbons to ribbon rolls and everything in between, adding personalization to ribbons helps your brand recognition. Especially when these ribbons are attached to things (products or services) that make it out of your reach. These “things” can be anything from goody bags at events to items from your storefront adorned with strips from a ribbon roll. Don’t have a storefront? That’s okay. Attach a small ribbon strip to a flier discussing your services and hand them out. So, there you have it: traveling ribbons!

How can traveling ribbons help you get your message into the public’s hands?

That’s easy! After all, the idea behind a traveling ribbon is that it travels to your customer in place of you. Remember that all ribbons aren’t equal because they can’t all do the same things. But, don’t think that one ribbon type is better than another. Grab your nearest personalized ribbon and figure out how it can become a traveling ribbon.

Promoting Your Business

Personalized ribbon is a subtle yet powerful marketing tool. So, how do you make these traveling ribbons work for you? First, choose a ribbon color that matches your brand. Then, have us imprint your website, logo and any other text in a corresponding color. Next step, use them everywhere!

Decorate your store with them. Attach them to products you sell, either in your store or at events. You can even hand out ribbon strips during events your business is attending. Use personalized ribbon rolls to wrap products, gifts and more. And, don’t forget those fliers adorned with your branded ribbons! Customers are sure to appreciate the custom touch, and then your ribbon will help them remember your business.

Hacking Personalization for Your Traveling Ribbons

One of our favorite ways to use a badge ribbon or other flat award ribbon is as a bookmark. That way, when your customers are reading in public, others not only see the book, but they also get curious about the imprinting on the ribbon the reader is holding.

Now, when that traveling ribbon has your logo and brand imprinted on it, people will start to recognize who you are. Traveling ribbons are an effective way to drive consumers straight toward your business. But remember to keep your logo and text consistent so that your brand stands out. No matter the size of your business, traveling ribbons are here to help.

These ribbons not only help promote your brand to current customers, but they also get your brand into the hands of potential customers. By simply adding these fun and fancy adornments to treat bags at a grand opening, or tying them to products throughout your store, these ribbons are guaranteed to travel. Once a current customer uses your product, they are sure to either pass on your ribbon or use it for something else.

Even if your ribbon is taken off a treat bag and thrown haphazardly onto a desk, it is sure to attract attention. Oh, everyone will want that treat! But, more importantly, they will want to know where they can get some too. So, now your ribbon becomes that great traveling marketing item you need. So, what are you waiting for?

100 Yards of Ribbon & What to Do with It All

what would you do with 100 yards of ribbon with multiple ribbon roll types

100 yards of ribbon = 300 feet = 3600 inches

Wow! That’s a lot!

If you are hosting a significant event like a national conference or a large convention, the answer to using 100 yards of ribbon is easy. However, using all of the ribbon might seem daunting if you order ribbons for a smaller occasion, such as a department party or small corporate meeting. While the ribbon will last a long time, you may not have a way to store it.

Now the question is, how do you use all 100 yards of ribbon?

We offer two different types of ribbon rolls: continuous print and favor printing. All of our rolls come with 100 yards of ribbon. So, here are some fabulous ideas for using that roll up to the last inch!

Continuous Printing

Repeated text and logos along 100 yards of ribbon roll

Imagination is the only limitation when using your logo and text imprinted in a continuous print along the entirety of 100 yards of ribbons. While the imprinting process may limit the graphic or logo and text you can use on the ribbon, the continuous printing allows for multiple uses for your ribbons.

Gift Bows, Single Use Shoelaces and Awareness Ribbons

From corporate gifting to small individual presents, bows will make any gift more personal. And with custom ribbons, this personality increases. Small bows, like a simple gift bow, typically take about 20 inches of ribbon. Large gift bows can take up to 48 inches of ribbon to make. With these calculations, your 100 yards of ribbon will make approximately 75 large bows.

Making shoelaces for a corporate event can be fun. The standard lengths vary per shoe (depending on how many eyelets the shoe has). The average length is about 60 inches, meaning you can lace nearly 30 pairs of shoes. That should be enough to outfit a small office with a fun and unique way of showing off your brand at your next corporate meeting. (Please note that if used more than once, the imprinting will start to rub off.)

Awareness ribbons are a great way to use all of that ribbon roll and are perfect for showing support or collecting donations. With continuous roll printing, you can control where the printing will occur and use the 100 yards to its best advantage. You should cut each ribbon to about nine inches for three inch awareness ribbons. This will make your roll last for about 400 ribbons! Think about all the support you can show with that many ribbons.

Favor Printing

Print text and logos so they only show on the ends of a cut strip.

This ribbon type is just as useful as continuous printing. Favor printing provides a large gap between the text and logo. They are easily tied around something but you can still see the imprinted information.

Favors, Single End Awareness Ribbons and Party Decorations

If you are giving away door prizes or gifts to every person who attends your event, these ribbons are here to do you a favor (pun intended)! Using ribbons with favor printing, you can easily tie them around goody bags and other quick gifts to give attendees. Wrap them around a bag full of candy and cut the ribbons so that only the ends show printing. This effect highlights your messaging on the ribbon ends and lets your guests quickly remember where they got the present.

Each favor printed ribbon section will vary depending on what it is tied to. On average, if you use 18 inches per ribbon you will get about 200 strips total. This includes two tails with six inches of imprint and the six inch blank space between them. While these measurements will not fit every project, you can use the approximations for many things.

organza and satin ribbon rolls tied around a candle holder for a wedding

For example, if you tie the ribbons around votive candles, you need approximately 28 inches per candle. Setting up this ribbon length should include the minimum of the blank six inches between text, up to six inches of imprinting and a small, two inch bow. This will yield about 128 candle holders.

So, when you think about it, 100 yards of ribbon is easily used for any event!

While both ribbon types can be used for party decorations, favor printing gives the finished product a cleaner look. When tying a continuous print ribbon around something, your text will show all the way around and go into the knot and bow. Favor printing gives the look of a neat, clean bow. You can trim the ribbon with the text only showing at the ends. Even if the object you are tying the ribbon around is bigger, you can manipulate it to display the text exactly where you need it.
