Concert Promoters & Event Promoters
The showbiz industry is all about “who is who”. This is where custom neck lanyard ID cards become extremely important. Concert or rave promoters and event promoters have to make themselves noticed and recognized by media as well as by the artists. Usually a promoter needs to order quite a few lanyards for any event they are sponsoring.
Lanards are used by security personnel, roadies, band crew, media and other special individuals who will be allowed backstage. Most importantly, lanyards are used to hold highly prized and decorative backstage passes, which are given to groupies and babes which makes them feel like they’re VIPs and puts them in a good mood. This, in turn, will usually result in greater happiness for the promoter, as well as the rest of the band, crew, roadies and media. Without lanyards, the babes might lose their VIP passes and the entire event would be a waste. But I digress.
Selling in souvenir and gift shops
Isn’t it annoying when you enter souvenir, or a gift shop that is fairly crowded, and you ask the wrong person for product information, a person that seems to be the shop assistant? Who wouldn’t be, this is why wearing a lanyard ID card as seller in such a shop (or any other store that interacts with the public) is not only very important in facilitating your selling process but is also for the success of your business. But for souvenir shops in particular, lanyards make a great souvenir.
Ski shops, beach shops, Vegas, Hollywood or San Francisco. People are going into souvenir shops to look for items that say “I’ve been there”. Having such a trophy is somewhat proof that you actually went. Also all of your friends and relatives are expecting you to bring something back for them, and you don’t want to spend too much on most of them. I mean, What did they ever buy for you? Probably squat! And besides, what’s the point in going someplace really unless you can dangle goodies in front of people forever thereafter and make them jealous that you went. Nothing dangles better than a lanyard. Thus, if you are the owner of a souvenir shop, coffee mugs, t-shirts, shot glasses, lanyards, refrigerator magnets and key rings are the six souvenir shop all-time best sellers.
Corporate Employees
Most corporate companies have strict hierarchies of positions. In such a structured place, corporate employees find it necessary to wear a lanyard with an ID card, especially when entering a secure area and not only that, recognizing someone by their lanyard ID card provides a better and a much efficient workplace. Most larger corporations have full time security guards at the doors and employees may not enter unless wearing proper ID. This lessens the likelihood of corporate spying, and also helps lower their liability from events that might cause harm to one or more employees, such as an ex-husband coming in and blasting people he thought might have been cheating with his wife… that sort of thing. And thus, a lanyard or badge reel is simply mandatory. Lanyard pouches are also designed to hold keys, business cards as well as the paperwork behind the ID badge.
Public Speakers and Seminar Givers
As a person who conducts seminars or classes, you will always want to have your lanyard ID card somewhere on your person, mainly in situations where people might need to understand who you are, more likely in the beginning of the course with new students or when you attend a gathering or a conference. In addition, it’s a good idea to hand lanyards, printed with the name of your class or seminar, with IDs so that your students can identify each other. Many will keep the lanyard or give it to friends or co-workers, which will further promote your seminar. Lastly but not leastly, many motivational speakers are notable egomaniacs like Anthony Robbins and thus will very much relish seeing thousands of audience members wearing lanyards with their name printed on it.
Whew. There you go. But admittedly some of them are a little sketch and/or repetitive (The President? Astronauts?). Anyway, for those who actually read the entire thing then, I’m not sure what we’re going to do with you. Hopefully you found it at least a tiny bit informative and entertaining. Enjoy what’s left of your day.
