Lapel Pins Can Boost Your Employees’ Morale, Help Reduce Turnover

In a world where businesses large and small are seeking effective, cost-efficient ways to promote themselves and find an edge in the competitive universe of the 21st century, lapel pins have become a way to gain that edge. Many organizations are discovering lapel pins can be a great way to showcase their brand, increase their name recognition, even improve employee morale.

Lapel pins have long been used outside the business arena. Groups such as fraternities, sororities, Chambers of Commerce, Civitan and many others commonly issue lapel pins to their members as an identity device for many years.

In recent years, lapel pins have seen a renaissance in the corporate world as well. The small tokens of appreciation and achievement have become more popular based on their practical nature and versatility.

Studies have shown that when people change jobs, money is generally not a primary factor behind their decision. Rather, one of the major reasons people leave a job is because they don’t feel valued and respected by management. Lapel pins can be used to demonstrate that the employer appreciates workers’ contributions to the company’s success.

Many businesses use lapel pins to reward employee longevity. Years-of-service pins, when presented at a department-wide or even company-wide ceremony, often become cherished keepsakes that employees wear with pride. Just a little recognition goes a long way in helping keep employees happy and motivated.

Lapel pins also are a great way to recognize job-related achievements, such as meeting budget, production or sales numbers. As with the years-of-service pins, the presentation of the lapel pins at a company ceremony shows employees that the organization recognizes and celebrates their efforts and accomplishments.

Businesses also can use lapel pins as a way to identify members of specific teams of departments. Sales, engineering, production and other departments can each have their own distinctive lapel pins to showcase their particular roles within the organization.

Lapel pins also can help market a company and its products or services to prospective customers. Sales representatives can wear lapel pins with the company name or logo on them. Product-specific pins also are possible. In either case, the pins help reinforce the brand image in the minds of prospective customers.

Lapel pins can be made a variety of styles, shapes and sizes. The range of styles, colors, materials and shapes means lapel pins can be custom designed perfectly for virtually any organization.

Offset digital printed pins are perfect for reproducing company logos and trademarked text on lapel pins. The photo-quality image is printed directly onto the metal. Another outstanding method to reproduce logos, text and drawings is with silk screen printed pins. These lapel pins print colors one at a time in a process similar to that used to print T-shirts.

For the highest quality lapel pins possible, order cloisonné pins. These fine jewelry-quality pins are perfect for employee recognition pins of all kinds.

No matter what style of lapel pins you choose, they are an outstanding way to show staff members that they are valued by their employer. They are a worthwhile investment for any business or organization.
