			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Do you find yourself needing baseball trading pins quicker than you anticipated?  Never fear!  We can help!  There are a few things you can do to help expedite the production of your baseball trading pin order.</p>
<p>Here are the areas you need to focus on:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Colors.</strong>  Limiting the amount of colors and colored areas helps speed up production of your pins.  Instead of multiple colors, try to stick to one or two.</li>
<li><strong>Size.</strong>  The sweet spot for pin’s size would be around 1.5 to 2 inches. Larger pins require more surface area to fill in.</li>
<li><strong>Limit extra features.</strong> Glitter, spinners, danglers, etc. add extra days to a standard order’s production time.  Forgo these add-ons and get your trading pins quicker.</li>
<li><strong>Shipping to your event’s location</strong>. If we can ship your order to your hotel or tournament, this can give us extra days to produce and deliver your order.  Just let us know the address when you place the order and we’ll get your pins to you as fast as we can.</li>
</ul>
<p>Simpler, less detailed designs are fastest to produce.  If your turnaround time is tight, it’s better to forgo all the extras to make sure your team has pins than none at all.  We can discuss this in detail with you when you contact us.  We’ll make sure that you have attractive, exciting trading pins despite the time constraint.</p>
<p>Don’t let another moment pass without getting your custom baseball trading pin order into us.  Visit <a href="http://www.allaboutpins.com">http://www.allaboutpins.com</a>, email <a href="mailto:info@allaboutpins.com">info@allaboutpins.com</a> or call 1-866-604-9462 toll-free.  We’ll get a free price quote and full color digital proof sent to you so we can get the production process started as quickly as possible.  Approve your design, pay for your pins, and receive them in the mail in time for your tournament.  It really is that simple!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Boy Scouts of America (BSA) was founded in 1910 and continues to be one of the largest youth organizations in the United States.  It has 2.7 million youth members and over 1 million adult volunteers.  More than 110 million Americans have been involved with the BSA.<a href="http://www.allaboutpins.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/coin93.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-2762" src="http://www.allaboutpins.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/coin93-300x154.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="154" /></a></p>
<p>In addition to training youth to be responsible citizens, the group focuses on character development, self-reliance in the outdoors, educational programs, and career-oriented programs within their communities.  Younger Scouts learn about trustworthiness, good citizenship, and outdoor skills.  Many Boy Scouts camp, participate in water sports, and hike.</p>
<p>The custom challenge coin pictured here was created for the Troop 48 Eagles.  Eagle Scouts are the highest ranked Boy Scouts.  It is customized with their ideals, values, and mottos.  Custom challenge coins are created with each customer in mind.  Their ideas and specifications are followed by our artists in order to create quality lapel pins worthy of handing out to others.</p>
<p>Custom challenge coins are great for BSA Jamborees.  They can be traded with other troops.  This is a great way to meet other Boy Scouts and to encourage interaction.  These coins can also be used for awarding achievement.  Custom coins can be created for special events and banquets.  This is the perfect opportunity to publicly acknowledge Boy Scouts’ accomplishments throughout the year.</p>
<p>Challenge coins can be created in a number of different sizes and shapes.  Customers can have their design included on one side of the coin so that it can be attached to a plaque or trophy.  They can also be created to include images and text on both side of the coin.  This allows groups like the Boy Scouts of America to extend their message even further.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>African Wildlife Ambassadors are a special group of the Friends of the National Zoo who volunteer their time to assist African animals at the National Zoo.  The work of these generous individuals allows people from all around the world to see beautiful wildlife whenever they’re visiting the Nation’s Capital, Washington, D.C. <a href="http://www.allaboutpins.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/pin190.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-2757" src="http://www.allaboutpins.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/pin190-267x300.jpg" alt="" width="187" height="210" /></a></p>
<p>Custom pins are a great way to help make members visible to the public and know the wearer’s expertise. In this particular case, the African Wildlife Ambassadors spend time with the zoo’s African animals.  The custom lapel pin design reflects this.</p>
<p>Custom pins for specific groups and individuals help foster team pride, boost confidence, and morale.  Individuals feel honored when they’re given a special gift like a lapel pin.  They can wear them on their uniforms as a way of identifying and expressing themselves.  Lapel pins are often used as flair at restaurants and public attractions like amusement parks.</p>
<p>Logo pins can help establish rank and achievement and can adorn name tags and lanyards for zoo visitors to see.  This makes it easier for volunteers to be approached and recognized.  Visitors can ask questions and congratulate them for the work they do.  This extra acknowledgement is enough to keep many individuals volunteering for years.</p>
<p>Custom lapel pins draw a crowd.  They’re memorable and unique.  They get people interested in what they promote and help raise attendance at special events and fundraisers.  That’s why so many zoos and animal organizations order custom lapel pins to hand out.</p>
<p>Get your hands on an order of custom zoo lapel pins.  Visit <a href="http://www.allaboutpins.com">http://www.allaboutpins.com</a> to request a free price quote.  While you’re at it, why not speak to a representative about your design ideas.  The number to reach us at is 1-866-604-9462 toll-free.  You can also email <a href="mailto:info@allaboutpins.com">info@allaboutpins.com</a>.  A full color digital proof depicting your idea or concept will be sent to you to examine free of charge.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So, you’re ready to order custom trading pins for your baseball team and want to know what kind of information is needed from you to get them ordered.  As you call or email an <a href="http://www.allaboutpins.com">All About Pins</a> sales representative, you’ll want to keep this design checklist on hand to refer to.  We will ask you the following questions to make sure that we create your baseball trading pins the way you envisioned them to be.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The 52<sup>nd</sup> Annual Colonial Highland Gathering is sponsored by The Scottish Games Association of Delaware, Inc. at Fair Hill Race Track in Fair Hill, Maryland on May 19<sup>th</sup>, 2012.  In addition to food and entertainment, an event called the Highland Heptathlon or the Highland Games is held there.<a href="http://www.allaboutpins.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/pin189.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-2744" src="http://www.allaboutpins.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/pin189-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="210" height="210" /></a></p>
<p>The yearly celebration shares Scotttish and Celtic culture with the community.  It helps create an authentic atmosphere for people from Scotland and the event’s visitors with period dress, music, and cuisine.  It also helps spread understanding of the culture itself.  People wanting to immerse themselves in another country’s rites, traditions, and lifestyle will enjoy The Annual Colonial Highland Gathering.</p>
<p>Established in 1964, the Highland Heptathlon was designed for heavy-weights.  A physically intensive competition, credit is given to Mr. Donald Campbell, an official judge with the Scottish Amateur Athletic Association and former World Champion in Cumberland Wrestling as well as the 16-lb. hammer throw.  He held the world’s record for the 56-lb. throw for distance.  Having him judge the event helped draw a crowd.</p>
<p>Although some of the events have changed over the years, the Highland Heptathlon draws a crowd.  Impressive contests like these gain a following.  People from around the country travel long distances to see their favorite athletes compete.</p>
<p>Lapel pins are the perfect way to celebrate cultural events because they can be customized.  They easily convey themes, logos, symbols and other relevant items.  If you’re the organizer of a special event like the Colonial Highland Gathering, you can get people excited about the event by creating and handing out custom lapel pins prior to the date of the festival or gathering.</p>
<p>Custom lapel pins are great items to sell in the gift stores and shops of your events as a fundraiser.  People love to support worthy causes.  That’s why they go to great lengths to purchase pins from the different events that they attend.  People like to go home with meaningful souvenirs from the places they’ve visited and the events that they’ve attended.</p>
<p>Pins are great to give away as awards.  They can use in place of plaques and trophies.  Because they’re easy to transport from location to the next, they can even be used at out-of-state and out-of-country events.  They can easily be placed in a bag or suitcase for safekeeping.</p>
<p>Order your event or festival lapel pins today.  We’ll help you through every step of the ordering process.  Visit <a href="http://www.allaboutpins.com">http://www.allaboutpins.com</a>.  You can also email <a href="mailto:info@allaboutpins.com">info@allaboutpins.com</a> or call 1-866-604-9462 toll-free and request a no obligation, free price quote.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Do you have something special planned this summer?  Are you planning on meeting up with family or long lost friends and you want to have something on hand to give everyone after the event is over?  Do you have a company picnic scheduled?  What are your plans for Memorial Day and July 4<sup>th</sup>?  Do you have a get-together planned?</p>
<p>Well, look no further than lapel pins.  The small keepsake items are rich with detail and sentimental value.  Pins are long lasting keepsakes.  They are investments with the value of life long memories.</p>
<p>Not only do they travel well, custom lapel pins make a great impression on everyone that they’re given to.  Say you have a family reunion to go to.  You want something that people of all ages will enjoy.  Rather than create another t-shirt or mug to celebrate the occasion, you choose to create a lapel pin.  Using your family name and custom image, we create attractive artwork that lets everyone know what type of event that you’re celebrating.</p>
<p>Custom lapel pins can be created in a variety of sizes, shapes, styles, and colors.  This gives you the freedom to express yourself.  No matter what you have planned, your pins can reflect your personality and the spirit of your event.  They can be small or large, simple or detailed.  The choice is yours.  That’s the beauty of custom lapel pins.</p>
<p>Create custom lapel pins for your employees if you’re the owner of a business.  Organize a family night out to a ball park and hand out special pins to everyone in attendance.  The versatility of custom products makes them a hit with people.  To remember the event, all they have to do is pull out their pins and wear them.</p>
<p>Get your lapel pins ordered before your big event.  Visit <a href="http://www.allaboutpins.com">http://www.allaboutpins.com</a> to request a no obligation, free price quote and full color digital proof.  You can also email <a href="mailto:info@allaboutpins.com">info@allaboutpins.com</a> or call 1-866-604-9462 toll-free.  We’ll take your design idea and turn it into an incredible lapel pin design.</p>

<p>One customer in particular, the Universal Technical Institute, thought that it would be a great opportunity to create a fun and meaningful gift to send home with their employee’s children.  The lapel pins that we created for them were rich in detail and eye-catching.  They were handed out to the children participating in the event as a way to say thank you and show to them that they were special and welcomed guests.</p>
<p>Custom lapel pins are a cool memento for children to take home with them.  They can wear them to school or pin them to a backpack and share their experience with their friends, teachers, and classmates.  This helps other children get excited about Take Your Daughters and Sons to Work Day.</p>
<p>Lapel pins can showcase a business logo or fit a theme.  We offer a number of different styles choices including soft enamel, cloisonné, die struck, and offset printed pins for our customers to choose from.  Custom workplace lapel pins can also be a variety of sizes and shapes.  Some of our customers prefer traditional round or square pins while others like the pins to be cut-to-shape.  This helps draw attention to the image or photograph located on the pin.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Pepperdine University’s Seaver College is a traditional liberal arts college located in Malibu, California and Washington, D.C. as well as various campuses worldwide.  With 39 majors, 38 minors, and impressive work abroad programs, Seaver College stands out.  Students from all over the world have attended the popular academic institute.<a href="http://www.allaboutpins.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/pin185.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-2724 alignleft" src="http://www.allaboutpins.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/pin185-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="162" height="162" /></a></p>
<p>We were recently contacted by the school’s administration with a request for custom lapel pins for its alumni.  Custom lapel pins are a great way to honor past students of Seaver College and Pepperdine University.  Not only are the small tokens of appreciation unique and memorable, they’re also attractive enough for people to wear on a day-to-day basis.  This is a great way to show pride in your school or university.</p>
<p>Alumni pins are frequently given out at special events as a way to mark the occasion and they are also given to donors as thank you gifts.  Alumni lapel pins are easy to spot in a crowd because they almost always include a school crest, logo or mascot.  They usually include a specific date or year.  They also include details about the school like its location or a website address to visit for more information.</p>
<p>Custom artwork adds to the attractive nature of the pins which gets other people interested in your college or university.  Our talented team of graphic artists can help you come up with a design for your alumni pins after hearing your idea or concept.  They can make suggestions regarding size and shape.  They can even give you pointers on what type of extras are needed to make your alumni pins stand out.</p>
<p>Visit <a href="../../">http://www.allaboutpins.com</a> today to see samples of pins we’ve done for other customers.  Once you have an idea of what you want created, email <a href="mailto:info@allaboutpins.com">info@allaboutpins.com</a> or call 1-866-604-9462 toll-free.  We’ll put together a price quote and full color digital proof for you free of charge.  Once you approve the artwork, we submit your order for manufacturing.  We even pick up the cost of having your pins delivered to you.  It’s just one of the many ways we thank you for your business.</p>
