Holidays and Celebrating Nametag Day

Nametag Day is all about spontaneity and silliness!

As we walk around our cities, we often forget to notice the people around us and miss out on chances to connect. A name tag says “I am open. I want to talk to you.” It adds an element of humanity to our day, breaking down an invisible barrier between us.

This holiday was started by a group of friends with organizing experience who decided it would be a great way to spend their time. They are the ones jump-starting this particular endeavor, but anyone who puts on a name tag is part of Team Nametag Day.

This special day is typically celebrated on the first Saturday in June. However, we are with these organizers and agree that every day should be Nametag Day.

And they believe that this holiday belongs to everyone!

Nametag Day is entirely non-commercial, staffed by volunteers, and no people or organizations will profit financially from the event. All funds raised go to name tags, markers and other logistics costs. And we all profit from the day! We want people to make new friends, learn new things, and share a few extra smiles.

Who is helping make this holiday happen?

You! Every person who volunteers, donates money, wears a name tag, or spreads the word contributes to making Nametag Day a reality.

We are especially grateful to The Awesome Foundation, nametag.com and NYC Social Sports Club for their generous contributions.

How can you start your Nametag Day?

Anyone can celebrate this holiday, wherever you are – just wear a name tag! If you’d like to conduct a larger event, we request that you follow these core principles of Nametag Day:

The spirit of this holiday is to encourage openness, connection, and spontaneous fun. That’s it, nothing more.

Participants are expected to go to extra lengths to appear non-commercial. This means not wearing the same hats or shirts, etc.

Nametag Day doesn’t stop at 5pm. We hope that you will continue to acknowledge the people who make up your world. Smile and reply, “It’s okay” next time someone bumps you on the Muni. Say hello to that shy coworker.

Thank you to these organizers for making a holiday so special and dear to our hearts. We love being a part of this day and celebration!

Donating, History and Name Tags

Donating to our customers is an excellent way to express our community support!

We’re at it again! Our newest donation was to the Historical Society of Princeton (HSP). Donating our time and goods to those in our community is something in which Coller Industries takes pride. We love helping out where we can.

Izzy Kasdin, Executive Director of HSP, said, “These name tags will help our staff present a unified, professional front. They will also help at other events in the community. The name tags will help enhance our brand recognition and awareness in the community.”

HSP is a museum, research center, and public programming site dedicated to bringing the history of Princeton to life. HSP is based at the historic Updike Farmstead in Princeton.

Our mission is to serve as a hub for cultural enrichment, experiential education, and stewardship of collections. This is to enhance community vitality and build historical literacy, cornerstones of healthy civic culture.

The collection underscores all of HSP’s programming, which includes exhibitions (on and off-site), research services, school programs, public events, walking tours, curriculum support and professional development for teachers, and preservation of collections.

Kasdin also stated, “If we are successful in our mission, our audiences will have a passion for history and will appreciate its importance in connecting with others and learning about the world around them. By inspiring children and adults to be curious history stewards, we hope to pass along the important lessons of the past. We believe our work will ultimately lead to respectful and responsible behavior among people, toward each other, and toward the built and natural world around us.”

Coller Industries is always happy to help!

We donated metal UV name tags with the organization’s logo on them. With being the go-to personal identification specialist, we enjoy giving to those who are in need of help.

And, while we care about all of our customers, we love it when we have clients who feel comfortable coming back to us every year. Part of our community of caring means that we give back to the community.

We are grateful for organizations such as the Historical Society of Princeton. Donating these goods helps us stand out from our competition.

Pet Rescue, Coller Industries and Donations

Our customers are amazing!

And, once again, we’d like to say thank you to them by highlighting our most recent donation activities. Coller Industries prides itself on our contributions to our community. Donations to repeat customers make our work completely worth it.

Brenda Bray, a volunteer at Paws and Claws Rescue & Resort, “We are passionate about animals. We build our new shelter with state of the art sanitation and ventilation. This ensures that the animals remain healthy and thrive. Our new solar array helps us with energy efficiency. The boarding and grooming services of Paws and Claws will fund the no-kill shelter. We will also provide community programs for young and old alike and eventually have a program to provide service animals to veterans.”

Paws and Claws has received more than one donation from Coller Industries. The first donation was for the resort’s board members. The name tags aided in recognition to spread awareness and raise the needed funds to build the shelter.

“This second donation will be used for our newly hired employees and our volunteers as we open the shelter in July,” explained Bray.

Name Tags: Making A Personal Connection

Greeting someone by using their name establishes a personal connection. Remembering someone’s name is the best way to get their attention. Using a name shows courtesy and respect toward them. It’s a way of making a positive impression on someone. And, to some, it’s the most important sound of their day.

Why is it so important to hear your name? Your name is what connects you to your family and friends. It’s what makes you so unique. Without your name, you are just another face in a crowd. And when someone uses your name, any situation becomes personal.

Dale Carnegie, an expert in relationship building, tells us, “A person’s name is to him or her the sweetest and most important sound in any language.”

Name tags are the perfect way to make sure that someone knows your name. And they are increasingly important in the world today. How can someone, whether a fellow employee or a customer, connect with you without knowing your name?

There are so many reasons to be wearing a name tag.

When working, name tags help provide security and a sense of belonging. They also help those around you to know who you are and if you can help with something they might need.

Another reason to wear a name tag is demonstrated by this poignant, albeit brief, interaction.

“This morning, I was at the local coffee shop. The young lady who prepared my coffee was wearing a name tag, and I was able to thank her by using her name. I could tell this made her feel good and appreciated.”

Using a person’s name shows that you have gone out of your way and taken the time to make a personal connection to them. Remember, business is not only about selling or making money. It’s about connecting with those around you. Without a personal connection, no goods or service are shared. Nothing will happen. Once that connection has been made, you can form a trusted relationship.

Name tags make every connection emotional and personal. It causes people to remember with whom they are doing business. It sets an individual apart and makes them feel special. And it’s the best way to get someone’s attention.
