Improving Your Customer’s Experience

Building trust within your company is essential to business morale, and so is maintaining a positive customer experience.

Success for every business comes when both employees and customers are left happy with their experience with that company. And, there are ways to ensure that happiness. We are here to help you find that success using personal identification.

From branded lanyards to reusable name badges, personal identification can guarantee a trust-building experience for all involved. Name tags humanize a company by putting a name with a face. And when you have your employees use not only their name on a name tag but your company logo as well, this builds a trusting relationship with your customers.

And, while customer satisfaction is a high priority for all businesses, helping employees feel comfortable in their working roles is also important. Name tags will help accomplish both. Use name tags to not only let customers know who your employees are but to quickly and easily identify those who can help.

Don’t underestimate the power of personal identification tools.

Name plates are also a useful tool to improve any experience within your company. From signage to room identification, help your customers easily navigate your business. Use them for employees who have an office. Or use them to identify different sections of a store. Yes, signs are also great for this purpose. Or customize each of these products for nearly anything you can think of.

And, don’t forget that we have a new plaque line. These plaques are a unique way to display instructional information about your company. From a motto at the front receptionist desk to information about how long your company has been around, customize a plaque that fits your business.

So, harness the power of your customer’s experience with custom name tags and other personal identification tools.

Trading Office Noise for Summer Fun

From the noise of machines to the buzz of a social activity, summer is definitely more fun in the sun.

Mondays through Fridays in the Coller Industries building are always noisy. From the ticking of keyboards in marketing to phone calls about orders in customer service, the noise is constant. And the loudest place of all is production and shipping. With the laser machines going full strength and the packing tape being stretched out to wrap each shipment securely, each employee is focused on one thing: our customers.

Last Saturday however, brought a different type of noise. From the creaking of plastic under bare feet in the bounce house to the gentle murmur of a crowd while they attempted to socialize while eating delicious barbecue, Coller Industries’ employees created a unique sound at the annual company barbecue get-together.

As always, the bounce house was a hit with the kids. And someone brought water guns for the kids to play with as well. While the adults chatted away, the kids ran around chasing each other, and everyone had a blast!

The food was just as fantastic as the fun!

Joe Morely’s Bar-B-Q pulled it off again this year. With spare ribs, two types of sliced meat smothered in barbecue sauce, potato salad, macaroni and cheese, baked beans and rolls, the spread was amazing. To finish off the meal was a giant apple pie and a couple of strawberry cheesecakes. Oh, and cookies for the kids who were still chasing each other with the water guns!

While the noise of the office is anything but mundane, it’s always nice to be out with colleagues and to have the variety of the outdoors and social conversations. We want to say thank you to Coller Industries for providing such a wonderful event for their employees. The company works just as hard at keeping their employees happy as the employees do for the customers.

And, here’s some noise from those busy employees:

CreelaBelle, Content Writer, said, “I like that we have fun and do things together as a company, but we also try to do our best and make customers happy. It’s the best of both worlds.”

Patrick, Production and Shipping Manager, said, “This was our best barbecue yet! And, having the bounce house was great for the kids. My daughter loved it. But, by far my favorite part of working at Coller Industries is all the cool people I work with.”

Hannah, Customer Service Manager, said, “Even though the free food is always a plus, it’s great to see everyone in a relaxed environment and see all the kids. We have such a great group of employees, and it feels more like we’re friends than coworkers.”

Nonprofit Organizations and Name Tags

From fundraising events to a formal gala, name tags are here to help all of your nonprofit needs.

While most times a nonprofit has the same personal identification needs as other businesses, often these needs must be met differently. Whether it’s the cost of a name tag or just the efficiency of a reusable name badge, nonprofits are definitely in need of a bit of help.

And, no one ever said any company or organization needed to break the bank for personal identification. No matter what you need, from name tags to ribbons, we’re sure to have it and at an affordable price. So, let’s get started on the items you need the most to get your cause or charity the recognition it deserves.

Keeping Costs Down

Using reusable name badges is a perfect way to keep any costs low and affordable. Whether your nonprofit has permanent employees or single event volunteers, these quality badges are sure to foot the bill.

Use the printable inserts for Mighty Badges and Speedy Badges to customize your name tags for all of your needs. And, add a logo to make them a bit more memorable. And, if your volunteers want to keep their name tag to remind them of their charitable work, just remove the insert and let them take it home. Then you can reuse the frame or other pieces for your next event.

Need something for a larger group of people? Take our badge holders out for a spin. Similar to reusable name badges, stuff each badge holder with a printable insert. And, use the colored inserts to help coordinate your event. From fundraising and volunteers to running an awareness campaign, these identification tools are perfect for every need.

Providing Awareness and Branding

Name tags are just as relevant to nonprofit groups as they are to any other company. Attract donors and sponsors, gather and recruit volunteers and use their particular branding to promote awareness in your community.

And, when attending events, add more than just a name to any inserts. Add titles, positions, logos, graphics and so much more. Use each name badge for multiple functions and different events. And stuff each badge with more than just the insert. Include a calendar of events or a little thank you gift.

Make your nonprofit known by thanking any donors or volunteers and spreading awareness of your cause like never before with high-quality name tags!

From promoting accomplishments to motivating employees, custom plaques are a unique and personal way to connect with coworkers and other colleagues.

The Best Features of Name Tags

What are name tag features and why are they so important? From security to basic identification, name tags are used for a variety of reasons. And, because of their distinguishing features, name tags are the perfect tool for everyone! They prove useful at meetings, conventions and in an office setting. No matter where you are, you’re sure to find a use for name tags.

And, here’s why!

Name Tag Features: Names, Titles and Pictures

The primary and most noticeable feature of a name tag is to display someone’s name. One of the most important things a name tag accomplishes is to identify the wearer. When a retail employee wears a name tag with a company name or logo visible on it, that name badge becomes a subtle form of advertising, and it reinforces that company’s brand into the minds of customers. Pictures also accomplish this same task.

Titles are also important, especially at a convention or large corporate meeting. Having a person’s title on a name tag is just as important as their name. This title defines the wearer and makes them more accessible to those looking for specific types of people at these large events.

By providing everyone at a conference or other event with identification, it reinforces their identities. And, this is indeed one of the essential features of a name tag.

Name Tag Features: Security and Branding

This fundamental feature isn’t just for use at a convention. Use name tags in offices and retail establishments for employees to recognize those who belong. As an example, if an employee is accustomed to seeing his or her fellow employees with name tags, an abnormality would be spotted easier. This is particularly true for a company that deals with sensitive information or products. Anyone that may be out of place would be immediately detected to help maintain the company’s security.

And, don’t forget branding! Leave your mark by adding a logo to all of the name tags in your office. Or, when creating name tags for a conference, add different company logos to each group’s name tags. Each company will appreciate this branding, and it also helps with continued recognition for each brand.

Relatability and Professionalism

Business name tags subtly encourage the wearer to maintain some professionalism. Sometimes it is easy for employees to forget where they are, but by adding a name badge or name tag, this is less likely to happen. While there is nothing wrong with having a casual working environment, a name tag will ensure a certain amount of professionalism.

The features of a name tag such as a name and company brand will also increase relatability for customers and clients. By wearing identification, employees immediately allow others to see who they are and thereby make themselves more approachable.

So, no matter your reason for wearing a name tag, remember these key features. And don’t forget to include them on all of your personal identification tools.
