Parent’s Day Lapel Pins Honor Those We Love the Most
Custom lapel pins make great gift items for people of all ages. They also are wonderful for special occasions and milestone events. That’s because they are personal and memorable. No one forgets lapel pins.
Parent’s Day is a great time to honor couples for their contribution in their children’s lives and community. Luncheons and other special events reward the men and women’s efforts. In place of a paper certificate, you can hand out custom lapel pins with a positive message.
If you are a non-profit, you can host an event that shares some type of information or raises awareness. The pins that you hand out can have a slogan or quote written on them. These items can then be given to parents as a way of thanking them for the role they have taken on.
You can also honor your student’s parents if you are a teacher, principal or superintendent by putting on a special program just for Parent’s Day. After the children perform, you can have them give lapel pins out to their moms and dads. This is one way to get the children involved.
Lapel pins can feature a cartoon image of a couple or even a school logo or mascot. They also can incorporate text in a number of different sizes and fonts. This helps to make the lapel pins more memorable and the special event even more incredible.

July 13th is Embrace Your Geekness Day, Celebrate with Lapel Pins
A geek is a person that is highly intelligent and technically oriented. They are known to be studious and often proficient at using or repairing computers. Modern culture uses the word freely. In fact, Best Buy calls their technical support team “The Geek Squad” and celebrities like Justin Timberlake, David Beckham, and Myleene Klass have been reported rocking out a “geek chic” look. Black horn-rimmed glasses, bow ties, and t-shirts with geek-friendly messages are all a part of this subculture.
July 13th has been deemed, “Embrace Your Geekness Day.” You can celebrate this unique holiday by creating custom lapel pins for you, your friends, family members, employees, and co-workers. These can resemble geeky items like computers, floppy disks, molecules or atoms, and even the aforementioned black glasses. Messages can be straight to the point or even have a hidden meaning between geeks. One popular slogan that has been used on t-shirts and other types of promotional products is “Talk Nerdy to Me”.
Custom lapel pins are a great way to promote your geeky products or services. If you’re a business wanting to reach the likes of the geek chic, you may want to hand out pins to new customers and employees or at special events and tradeshows. This helps you get the word out faster because each person that wears you lapel pin comes into contact with hundreds of people daily. If enough people see the message that you are trying to promote, chances are they’ll take an interest in you. They may drop by your place of business or order something from you online.
You don’t have to be a genius to see the potential of custom lapel pins. Durable and long lasting, they are the type of item that really stands out in a crowd (or, on a pocket protector). In addition to being a great item to wear, they are also outstanding for handing out to crowds of individuals. Encourage everyone you know to embrace their geekness by putting a pin on their suspenders or button down shirt.

Why Magnetic Backings Are Great For Lapel Pins
Sometimes an occasion calls for a postless lapel pin. That’s where a magnetic backing comes into play. Instead of poking holes into fabric, it attaches to clothing effortlessly. That’s because there are two magnets keeping the lapel pin in place.
Businesses, organizations, universities, and non-profits can all benefit from magnetic backings. That’s because a name tag is often a part of the required uniform. Rather than add wear to a uniform, magnetic backed pins help prevent it. Small holes eventually work their way into being larger holes which require patching. If they are in a place that is really noticeable, the garment may have to be replaced altogether.
Magnetic backings are every bit as attractive as standard backings. They are easy to use. You can take a lapel pin and put it on or take it off your garment in seconds flat. That’s one of the most appealing characteristics of this type of lapel pin. Anyone can wear one and you don’t risk poking your fingers with the post either. And, your employees won’t ruin their favorite shirt by weakening the fabric by poking holes through it day in and day out.
Name badges do not have to be boring. They can be created in whatever way you see fit. They can also be different sizes and shapes. You can use color on them or opt to leave them all metal. A space will be left empty so you can put the employee’s name on the badge. This allows you to use the same badge over and over again without having to replace it.
Magnetic backings save time and prevent abnormal wear and tear on clothing and uniforms. They are an option that many lapel pin manufacturers offer for an additional price. If you are an employer and you want your employees to look sharp but you don’t want the hassle of repairing worn clothing, you’ll want to look into ordering lapel pins with magnetic backings.

One of the quickest and most effective ways for them to do this is through the use of custom lapel pins.
That’s right, don’t let their small size fool you. Lapel pins are beneficial because they serve as professional marketing tools. Essentially, they act as miniature billboards, attracting new clients and driving business your way. They are a cost effective way to get the word out about what your have to offer in regards to your party planning or DJ business.
You can hand you pins out in place of a traditional calling card. Just carry a few around with you in your pocket or purse. Take the opportunity to tell others something about your business. Your lapel pins can be created in a way that allows others to get in touch with you. Your custom design can include a phone number, email address or URL. Anyone wearing the pins will know how to reach you and if they’re in the presence of others, these individuals can call, email or visit your website as well.
Never plan an event without having plenty of custom lapel pins on hand. You can easily transport these items from one location to the next in your briefcase or equipment bag. Anyone attending the event can be seen as a potential customer so don’t miss out on the opportunity to promote yourself to them. Weddings are a great place to meet potential clientele. Where else will you get to meet hundreds of people under one roof?

Celebrate Family Reunion Month with Custom Lapel Pins
Did you know that July is a month to celebrate? In addition to the excitement and thrills of Independence Day, it also pays tribute to families from all corners of the globe. You heard that right! July is Family Reunion Month. What better time of year to visit with long lost relatives than one of summer’s hottest months?
Whether your reunion is held at a park, a Masonic lodge or at the lake, one thing is certain. There will plenty of memories to be made throughout the weekend.

With this in mind, why wouldn’t you want to create a memorable souvenir for everyone to take home with them? We know you’ve seen all those family reunion t-shirts floating around. Why don’t you opt for something a little more durable and a little less novel?
Custom lapel pins are just that. They are appropriate for people of all ages and they are personalized in a way that makes them relevant and memorable. You’ll never have to worry about running into another family wearing the same reunion pins. The reason behind this has to do with the fact that each pin is made-to-order. That means that your design will never be used for anything but your family reunion. Now, that’s what we’re talking about!
Your grandparents will be thrilled when you present them with a lapel pin as a gift. You can do this in a number of different ways. First and foremost, you can place the pin in a velvet or acrylic box and give it to them that way. You can also have custom cardstock created that includes details about the reunion. The name of the family, the date and location of the event, and the number of individuals attending make great items to print on the cardstock. This helps make the reunion even more special for all those involved.
If you have a get-together coming up and you’re looking for a way to make it better than the last reunion, consider ordering custom lapel pins. Not only are they attractive and affordable, they make great keepsakes for your siblings, aunts, uncles, cousins, and parents.
