Benefits Of Using Reusable Name Tags

By Ruth Kelly


In this economy, companies need to find all sorts of ways to cut back on operational costs. Employee badges seem like a mundane budget item to focus on but if looked at cumulatively it could make a difference on the bottom line. By using reusable name tags, the company is able to utilize the same item over years and different personnel changes. This saves the time and cost required by that little item.

The customers would appreciate knowing the name of their server since they would not have enough time to learn and remember the name because they will not work for too long. This will save the employee the embarrassment of having to remind their name every single time. These badges also come in handy in big companies with thousands of employees. How does one know they are in the elevator with someone who could change the trajectory of their career?

If the company wants to reuse badges over time, they best go for the highest possible quality the market can offer. The badges should be hardy. They should not easily break or show signs of wear after a few years. They should stay sharp and visually appealing for a long time. Now, keep in mind that these badges are entitled to break down after a while. Ensure not to expect too much out of the poor thing.

Most companies like to go for the completely blank badge. It will just be a husk and the company can decide how to go about the presentation of information. Either the company will use markers to write names on a piece of paper then insert or they could be a little more conscientious about it and print along with the company logo and maybe a slogan.

The company could also decide to get badges that have already been fitted with the logo and some color. Space will be left on the slate to outfit names. Possible a position and some other information too. The company should ensure to give precise instructions, as these will determine how much space is left.

Ensure the information is printed in big bold block letters. The names should be presented in spoken order. That is the given name first then the surname. The given name could be presented in a bigger font than the second. This is an unspoken invitation to be on a first name basis with the clients. Leave honorifics like Miss and Mr out of it.

Imagine an event planner who handles conferences and company retreats. This planner is going to need new badges every time. However, if they have this type they can cut the cost of that particular overhead and concentrate on other aspects. There will be a bit of a challenge getting all of them back but it can be arranged.

Party planners only hire wait staff based on need. They are not required to be full-time employees of the company. This also means that there will almost always be a new team member every time. A badge that can be used each time whether or not the planner could get hold of the previous servers would be useful.
