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.

How Name Tags Make A Difference

“A name tag can show more than a name. It can be an opportunity to market your business and its purpose.”

While we have no affiliation with Ms. Mansfield, we agree with her perspective on name tags!

Here are some excerpts from her recent article “Your Name Here.”

(It) was a fantastic conference. Everyone who attended, presented and exhibited had to wear a name tag. It was large with heavy-duty plastic and a stable, double-attachment lanyard. It was the crème de la crème of name tags.

Every person had a name tag. It displayed their first name only and the tagline, “Here to Serve” under the name. From a marketing perspective, Botlierskop won the name tag game, hands down.

A name tag is a marketing and communication tool that provides critical information. The information is — or should be — dependent on the purpose of the event and the name tag viewer… We also interacted with other staff, all of whom were wearing name tags with their first name only and “Here to Serve.”

That was everything we needed to know. First name only, since we did not need to know their last names, and “Here to Serve” should tell you everything you need to know about Botlierskop’s commitment to customer service. Everything you needed and anything you could think of — all you had to do was ask.

Our name tags consisted of a peel-and-stick tag with our ISPO country and flag. Not having a name was disappointing, especially because we were there to meet and network with fellow representatives.

Mansfield suggests, and we concur, that when wearing a name tag, it’s all about content.

As such, here are a few pointers to make a difference in your name tag. And to help it stand out from the rest and be the “crème de la crème of name tags.”

Remember the primary purpose of a name tag is to show someone’s name! The real difference this makes is to identify the wearer.
Include only necessary items such as a small company logo or a short title. This information makes someone easier to identify quickly.
Make your tags say something memorable. Ms. Mansfield gave the example of “Here to Serve” for this important aspect.
Remember that your name tags are your branding. Whether it is a personal name tag or one for business, it will stand out in someone’s mind, so make sure you are representing what you want to.
Name badges are meant to be a networking tool. Make sure you create a name tag that keeps the person wearing it approachable.

While these tips are not a complete list, they are a starting point to make a difference and are sure to get you on your way to having the “crème de la crème of name tags!”

Company Branding with Name Tags

Branding is one of the most important parts of any company. And it does not matter if that company is large or small. Building a strong brand helps a business or organization be financially secure. Product marketing is really where this process all begins.

What is company branding?

A brand is what makes a company or organization truly unique. The act of branding can make any company stand out from its competitors. This process lets the consumer know what to expect from that company. A company’s brand is what they are, what they want to be and what they aim to become. It is a promise of quality, trust and service.

A few things to consider when building any brand:

Brand Identity: This is the representation of a company, its symbols and other identifying elements that inform a customer’s knowledge of a business or organization.

Brand Meaning: This is the character of the company beyond the image, and it includes product or business features, reliability, value and experience.

Consumer Relationship: This is the attitude the customer has about how a company is representing their brand.

Remember that a company can use its brand as the means to communicate with their chosen market. This means that a brand needs to be visually stimulating and encourage company loyalty. Carefully designed branding leads to a secure business or organization.

A company’s brand serves as a promise to the customer.

Remember that a company’s brand will require extensive research as it will be used in its marketing strategies. This applies no matter if the business offers a service or product. Consumers must understand a company’s brand message in order to increase the effectiveness and value for the business or organization.

Logos and Name Tags

To be successful in marketing a company’s brand, a strong branding or marketing strategy must be present. To determine the company’s brand, a target market and the product or service needs to be identified. By doing so, the company can communicate to their target market. And with the use of personal identification, a company’s brand will truly stand out. Name tags are an amazing way to promote company branding.

Many of our name tags and other personalized products can have a logo added. Name tags can be laser engraved or printed with a logo and company name as well as a person’s name. Reusable name badges come with printable inserts that can easily have a company logo added. Even order custom lanyards with a company logo to promote a company at a corporate event.
