Name Tags and The Power of Being Relatable

What does being relatable have to do with name tags?

To answer this question, we first must be able to understand what relatability means.

As presented by Ira Glass and quoted by Rebecca Mead in The New Yorker, “Relatability has become widely and unthinkingly accepted as a criterion of value, even by people who might be expected to have more sophisticated critical tools at their disposal. The contemporary meaning of “relatable”—to describe a character or a situation in which an ordinary person might see himself reflected—first was popularized by the television industry.”

In layman’s terms, relatable means enabling a person to feel that they can relate to someone or something. Being relatable makes it possible to understand, like, or have sympathy for because of similarities to oneself or one’s own experiences.

Now that we have that understanding, what does relatability have to do with name tags?

Scott Ginsberg, the Name Tag Guy, said, “the first idea to remember is that approachability is a two-way street. It’s both you stepping onto someone’s front porch, and you inviting someone to step onto your front porch. It connects people to you. It allows them to feel more comfortable talking to you.”

Name tags make people approachable. By helping people to connect your name with your face, customers and clients will be more comfortable with your business. And, your employees, in turn, will be loyal to your business and their interactions with your customers.

Loyalty goes for all customers. Everyone enjoys a good customer service experience. When they can purchase the product they are looking for from a friendly and relatable person, they are more likely to repeat their business. And it’s free advertising! People are more apt to share their experience with others who will, in turn, enjoy the benefits your business has to offer.

The biggest hurdle you will face while finding relatability is humanizing the people in your business. Name tags are the key to this issue. By providing that visible name, you allow your brand and reputation to speak for themselves!

As Ginsberg says, “Your name tag is your best friend for several reasons. First of all, a person’s name is the single context of human memory most forgotten. And people are less likely to approach you if they don’t know (or forgot) your name. Secondly, it’s free advertising for you and your company. Third, name tags encourage people to be friendly and more approachable.”

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.

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.
