I went salsa dancing downtown this weekend and, needless to say, had a great time. Latin beats have the capacity of injecting rhythm into any soul. They inspire a person to get up, move around, and feel the music pumping through their bodies. Salsa music is just fun. When we first got to the club, my friends and I joined the small crowd of people who was participating in the free lesson offered by a salsa teacher. She was on stage, red flowing dress, with the spotlight on her. She moved with total grace and the crowd attempted to follow without stepping on anyone’s toes. The lesson lasted about half an hour as we shook and shimmied and slid our way around the dance floor. At the end of the lesson, she thanked us and wished us good luck with our dancing endeavors. Before the instructor had gotten up on stage, she grabbed a handful of custom printed lanyards and placed them on the dinner tables, the bar, and by the exit. The imprinted lanyards had the name of her studio, a phone number, and a website.
I wondered why she chose promotional lanyards over standard printed postcards. I didn’t bother trying to find her in the crowd so instead, I checked out the lanyards. The branded lanyards were made from cotton and were printed. It was obvious that they were custom designed just for her, the color matched her dress. The imprinting had been in white. These custom lanyards were plain, simple, and to the point. Very often, this is how most of us want our promotions to be. I saw as people grabbed the promotional product and swung it around their neck. Others stuffed a few of them in their purses; some even wrapped them around their wrists as bracelets. Soon enough, there had been only a few of them lying around!
Who would have thought that printed lanyards would disappear so quickly? Lanyards have an appeal that many promotional products do not. They are very cheap in bulk and can be used in all sorts of circumstances. At trade show booths, lanyards make for quick and easy giveaways. There are four different hooks that can be attached to custom lanyards and all of them can hold a variety of information. The J-hook is thin and can hold ID cards, keys, and other such attachments. The key-ring, lobster claw, and oval hook are the other three hooks available; they are all great for attaching customized USB flash drives too!
In reality, any kind of event can benefit from custom imprinted lanyards. Since lanyards are lightweight, colorful, and branded, they appeal to a large audience. Schools can use them to promote an upcoming event, pass them out at orientation, or at dances. Businesses can pass out promotional lanyards at company events, trade show booths, or any other kind of business event. Branded lanyards can also be passed out at birthday parties, with the name of the birthday person and date going all the way around. Even music artists pass out custom lanyards at their shows. The hardest decision about buying lanyards is which material to buy? We offer a variety of options like: printed polyester, woven polyester, woven cotton, printed cotton, printed nylon, printed satin, woven satin, heat-transfer, and ultra-thin tube lanyards.
Whether printed or woven, promotional lanyards are a great addition to any event. For more information about our custom printed lanyards call us at 888-994-7766 or email sales@ipromo.com.
