subject: How to order name badges [print this page] Name badges are an effective way to connect with customers. When choosing the correct badge it is important to ask several questions before making a purchase:
- What am I looking to get out of my name badges?
- Are they for security? If so a photo identification badge would be the best choice.
- Are they for basic employee to customer identification? If this is the purpose it may be best to choose a basic design where the employees name is the main focus on the badge.
- Are they for impressing customers? For a professional look it is best to have a badge with a logo on it as well as an employees name and title.
- Are the badges for building team unity among employees? Unity in design of the badges can help accomplish this.
- Are there brand standards that the badges must meet? Make sure to let the name badge company know what they are so the standards can be met.
- What is my price range? Have a set budget; keeping in mind the level of quality desired. Executive framed badges with a logo are the highest quality badges while regular badges with no logo are going to be on the lower end. Remember the more customization, the more money.
- Who is going to wear these badges? Are the badges going to be exposed to any harsh chemicals? Certain employees may require different fasteners. Will the badge be something that an employee will be proud to wear?
