Custom Lapel Pins Mark Workplace Programs and Events

Published on May 3, 2012 in Custom Lapel Pins. Closed Tags: , , , , , , .

April 26th was Take Your Daughters and Sons to Work Day.  Businesses and organizations of all sizes and nature participated in the annual event.  Some companies went the distance to create custom lapel pins for the children accompanying their parents in the workplace.  Programs like these bring children and their mothers and fathers closer together because the young people get a better idea of what type of work their parents do all day.  It also allows them to explore different career fields that they might be interested in pursuing when they grow up.

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.

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.

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.

Ways to Make Your Employee Recognition Award Lapel Pins Stand Out

Published on September 30, 2011 in Custom Lapel Pins. Closed Tags: , , , .

When it comes to rewarding your employees for their achievements, few gifts make as positive of an impact as custom lapel pins.  With that being said, businesses and organizations of all sizes use these items to promote goodwill and leadership in the workplace.  Simply put, employees like to know that their hard work is being noticed and appreciated.  Custom lapel pins are great for this reason because they allow employers to show their gratitude in a visual and memorable way.

Pins don’t have to be limited to a company logo or carry a years of service theme.  They can be designed to honor specific achievements.  Some examples of awards we have created in the past include the Unsung Hero, Customer Service Excellence, and Employee of the Month as well as special pins for top sales.

Here are some ways to make the employee recognition award lapel pins that you order stand out:

  • Cut the pins to shape and incorporate simulated gemstones signifying different levels of achievement. Small details like these add to the attractiveness of the pins.
  • Use hanging bars that announce achievement on pins to form a chain.
  • Create lapel pins in different types of metals to honor years of service or levels of achievement. (Black Nickel, Copper, Silver, Gold, Antique Copper, Antique Silver, and Antique Gold are all options that you can elect to use for your designs.)
  • Use glitter colors as a way of making the custom pin stand out even more. Flecks of gold or silver glitter catch people’s eyes.

Creating colorful, unique pins turns them into collector’s items which promote teamwork, creative thinking, and a positive work environment.  These factors are vital to the success and growth of companies of all sizes.

Popeye’s Restaurant Managers To Receive Custom Award Lapel Pins

Published on March 22, 2011 in All About Pins. Closed Tags: , , , , , , , , , .

When it comes to legendary, flavorful, and extra crispy fried chicken, there are few, in any, restaurants that can compete with Popeye’s.  The well-known Louisiana based franchise, originally named “Chicken on the Run”, began in the suburb of Arabi, New Orleans in 1972. In its first decade, Popeye’s opened 500 restaurants with its first franchise located in Baton Rouge.  It went global in 1984. Now, a long 37 years later with over 1,000 restaurant location and numerous customer service awards, the famous Louisiana Kitchen chain is awarding its outstanding managers with custom award lapel pins.

Getting a Wing Up on the Competition

With the fast food restaurant industry having such a competitive market, it is only natural to assume that, in order to stay in the competition, an organization’s employees must be fully committed to driving the business.  Well, that is what the Popeye’s President’s Award lapel pin is all about.

Recipients of this appetizing employee recognition pin are Popeye’s restaurant managers. However, only those whose assigned location’s exceeded company expectations in regard to their levels of sales and performance were awarded.

Awarding Winning Staff Deserve High Praises

Examining the award pin above, the first thing one sees is the large, attention demanding and orange colored letter “P” in the middle of the pin.  For those who may not be familiar with the famous Popeye’s logo, the words Louisiana Kitchen surround it the flamboyant initial.  No one will be left wondering what these pins represent because an affirmation of the “President’s Award” is stated clearly at the bottom.

Popeye’s recognizes, just as All About Pins does and often shares, the fact that appreciated employees are happy ones; and it’s having happy employees that make a business successful.  Anyone who still does not believe this, we encourage you to take the lapel pin challenge.

All About Pins dares you to see for yourself the difference that recognizing and awarding your employees will make.  Contact one of our representatives at 1-866-604-9462 or info@allaboutpins.com to start your order.  We will even include a free digital proof, price quote and domestic shipping if you place your order today.

Outstanding Food and Beverage Staff Are Awarded with Custom Employee Award Lapel Pins

Published on March 3, 2011 in All About Pins. Closed Tags: , , , , , , .

Lapel pins for rewarding employees’ hard work do not have to be generic or only representative their years of service. Many employers are looking for way to recognize specific areas of expertise and achievement. The Zurda group is an example of one.

Award Pins Stir Up Employee Pride

The Zurda group, which owns the famous Denny’s restaurant chain, created employee lapel pins for its staff members that have successfully mastered special skills ranging from the art of frying to customer service and managing efficiency.

This charming and appetizing lapel pin is masterful by design. Its diamond shape and golden background helps draw attention to the proud and skilled chef posing in the center.  The word “Denny’s” lets anyone and everyone know exactly what organization the “Service Expert” donning the lapel pin works for.

Keeping it Simple but Specific

Having lapel pins that represent the reaching of specific goals is a way for managers to let workers know that they see the effort and time that is being put in as well as the dedication to their jobs. In turn, this not only increases employees’ production and overall morale, but also promotes good will and an overall better atmosphere.

When it comes to employee award pins, sometimes less really is more as long as the lapel pin design includes recognition of special training and accomplishments.  More frequently managers are recognizing how well this concept works and are devoting less time to designing general years of service award pins.

Our selection of lapel pins styles, size, shape and other customization options make it easy for employers to design pins with their workers in mind.  Visit our Employee Award Lapel Pins page to get a better idea of what we have to offer and can do for you. http://allaboutpins.com/employeerecognitionpins.html

It is always a privilege for us to be contracted by industry leaders.  This time the opportunity was given to us by the number one flavored carbonated soft-drink (CSD) company in the United States, Dr. Pepper Snapple Group.  The beverage company, accountable for large names such as Dr. Pepper, Snapple, Sunkist,  7Up and Fiji Water, needed years of service lapel pins for its Victorville, California plant.

Recognizing the Best People on Earth

The California Dr. Pepper Snapple distribution plant employs more than 200 employees. This particular drink production hub, serves the west coast, manufacturing an average of 40 million cases per year. With a production rate that high, you do not have to be there to know that it takes the hard work of dedicated employees to keep the plant running and business successful, making them worthy recipients of employee recognition pins.

Any Number of Years is Worthy of Reward

That is why the company had us create lapel pins to acknowledge their 1 and 2 year employees.

The circular custom pin was made to really stand out in with its ocean blue background and “Dr. Pepper Snapple Group” logo boldly imprinted within a gold banner.  The words “winning the west” lets everyone know what region these outstanding people belong to.  The lapel pin design in clean, original and demands attention, everything one would expect from a custom award pin.

Carlsen Volvo Creates Custom Employee Lapel Pins For Its Loyal Sales People

Published on February 3, 2011 in All About Pins. Closed Tags: , , , , , , , .

Carlsen Volvo is a leader in quality Volvo service and a trusted source for many throughout the historic Palo Alto, California area.  So, when it came to acquiring quality lapel pins for its dealers Carlsen knew to contact All About Pins.

Two Designs, One Pin Order

We created two different lapel pins for Carlsen Volvo’s employees.  One lapel pin is part of the dealer’s efforts to reward those who have been with the company for 30 years.  The other employee lapel pin is a way to identify its sales people.

The standard lapel pins made for the car dealers, regardless of their years of employment, possess an ideal lapel pin design for their purpose. The details are subtle enough for the sales people to not feel as if their presence is being overstated. By having a way to identify themselves, customers will feel more confident about approaching dealers with questions.

The lapel pin design for the set of employee recognition pins, though special, is also generic enough that Carlsen Volvo has the option of using them as gifts to customers.  Carlson could be used the custom pins as a way to say thank you for the purchase of a new car or car accessories.

Another Satisfied Customer

Since All About Pins allows the use of more than one design in a lapel pin order, Carlsen Volvo was able to find an efficient way to obtain pins for both its long term employees and provide gifts for its patrons.

Let us help you make your long term and new employees feel special.  Contact one of our graphic artists with your design ideas and we will give you a digital proof of your pin’s design and a price quote at no cost. Call today at 1-866-604-9462 or send an email to info@allaboutpins.com.

Custom Lapel Pins Score Big at the Pebble Beach Golf Tournament

Published on January 10, 2011 in All About Pins. Closed Tags: , , , , , , .

Saying that lapel pins are great for large events or fundraisers is an understatement.  The fact of the matter is that custom pins are the perfect way to identify staff, VIP customers, volunteers, and other participants.

Pebble Beach Resorts Sets Staff Member Apart

Being able to easily recognize staff at any large event is vital to its success. The staff and volunteer pins created for the Pebble Beach Golf Tournament primarily functioned as a way to help spectators find assistance when they needed it. Nonetheless, the pins also became a keepsake to those who signed up to play a part in the huge event.

Pebble Beach Resorts are the leading destination for golf tournaments and major events. It should come as no surprise that their custom staff pins were made to live up to the high class escape’s matchless reputation.

A traditional circle shaped lapel pin with multiple layered images is what participants will be donning at this year’s event.  The ocean blue outer edge surrounding the likeness of a golf ball boldly announces the resort as well as the current year.  In the center of the ball lies a graphic replica of a golf course. Looking carefully at this area of the pin, one will see the name of the event as well as its proud sponsor encasing the scenic artwork.

Creating Personalized Lapel Pins for VIP’s

If organizers of large annual events want to take it bit further, they can also create VIP pins.  VIP ticket holders and individuals that make large donations are an essential part of all major functions.  By using custom pins to easily identify staff and other participants, organizers can ensure these key contributors are taken care of with the utmost respect and urgency.

Staff, volunteers, VIPs, and participants are all vital to the success of grandiose events like the Pebble Beach Golf Tournament.  Using customized pins adds as sense of security and exclusivity without disrupting the atmosphere of the affair.  As a small gift, they are also an excellent way to thank each contributor for their time or financial support.

Multilingual Employee Lapel Pins Speak Volumes About Your Business

Published on September 1, 2010 in All About Pins. Closed Tags: , , .

Being bilingual or multilingual in today’s world is highly beneficial.  This is especially true in business settings where a number of clients and customers do not speak English.  Opening the door to proper communication can mean wonderful things for the growth of a company.  Customers that would otherwise be neglected can receive the attention and assistance that they deserve by seeking out bilingual and multilingual employees.

Businesses can make these employees identifiable through the use of a simple lapel pin worn in a visible location like on an article of clothing, lanyard or hat.  Individuals shopping in a store or eating at a restaurant can take comfort in knowing that they will receive the best service possible because someone who speaks their language is available for them to interact with.

Custom lapel pins designed with the intent of identifying foreign language speaking employees are advantageous for the following reasons:

  • They build a connection between employer, employees, and customers.
  • They are attractive and eye-catching thus becoming a great promotional item for the public to see.
  • They speak highly of an employer’s intent to serve his or her customer’s best interests at all times.
  • They become keepsakes for the employees that they are given to because of their personalized nature.

Not only are these items an important part of your employee’s uniform, they also serve as a token of appreciation for those individuals who speak multiple languages.

Custom language pins can be personalized in a number of ways.  They can be created in a number of sizes, shapes, colors, and styles to fit a company’s needs and can even include graphics and text that will make identifying a bilingual or multilingual employee easier.
