Custom Lapel Pins I came across custom lapel pins when looking for an original way to increase awareness of a civil rights campaign I am working on. I just received the box today and am thoroughly impressed. I put one on this morning and immediately began to have people walking up to me to comment on it and ask questions. reference: http://www.orderlapelpins.com/
Customized Lanyards
Customized lanyards are an affordable, convenient way to create group identity, market your product or service, and provide fun, fashionable accessories to your teammates, employees, family, friends or customers.
Whether for personal or professional use, customized lanyards provide a noticeable, attention grabbing canvas for your company name or your personal message and, when worn around the neck, are directly in sight wherever the customized lanyard wearer goes.
These means that your company name or message is being introduced to more and more people every day, which increases brand awareness and increases the contact you have with your potential customers and clients.
A Lanyard to the Rescue
I had left an important report in the car that morning, and rushed downstairs to get it. I made it to the parking lot just as raindrops started falling. Quickly scooping up the folder, I rushed back to the back door I had just come out of. I fumbled in my pocket trying to locate my key card. It wasn't there. I was always forgetting it upstairs.
I ran around the building as the rain started to come down harder. I shoved the folder in my shirt, trying to keep it dry. I reached the lobby and yanked on the door. It wouldn't budge. I peered through the glass trying to see the receptionist. She wasn't there. It was after hours and it was unlikely anyone would use the main entrance.
Sighing, I reached for my cell phone before remembering it was sitting upstairs on my desk, right next to the precious key card. Here I was supposed to meet with my boss and discuss my ideas of improving productivity and I was wasting time trying to get back in the building. I decided to see if anyone would show up that could let me in.
I rounded the corner just as a man was opening the door. “Wait up!” I yelled, “I forgot my key card.” He laughed and dug around in his pocket.
“Why don't you use this?” I glanced at the attractive lanyard he held out. Why didn't I think of this? I could wear my key card around my neck all day and never get stuck in the rain again.
Lanyards Make a Nice Gift
Lanyards make a nice gift, and they are very affordable. You can browse around for a special one to give to a friend, or you can buy them by the dozens to give away for promotional gifts. If you do that, you can also have them imprinted with your name, a company or product name, logo, or a message. They are good for giving away at special events, grand openings, or for employee gifts.
Because lanyards make a nice gift, they are also a good item to invest in to make a profit by selling them at a store on online from your website or an auction website. Create a clever saying and have that printed on the lanyard, list them, and you are in business. There are lots of different styles with varied attachments, so you can offer several for sale.
Lanyards are great for carrying around keys, a small flashlight, identification cards or show passes, or many other items. You can get them with different style attachments, from clips to claws and snap hooks. They are nice on camping trips because you can hook up a small compass, lighter, sunglasses, a small coin purse, or other items and not lose them while you are hiking around.
They are available in many colors and styles, so you can give more than one at a time if you want your gift recipient to have some choices. Lanyards make a nice gift, a thoughtful gift, and they are readily available online or through gift shops and specialty stores. Children enjoy using lanyards because they are colorful, can hold their house key, and they don’t lose them easily. They would be good for a birthday party gift or prize also.
50th wedding anniversary turns deadly in upscale Las Vegas hotel
A 72-year-old man and his 69-year-old wife were found in an unusual position in their hotel room yesterday morning. When the room attendant of an upscale Las Vegas hotel knocked on the door at 9 a.m., she heard a faint call for help. The long-time staff member had come across several unexpected situations during her employment, but never anything like this. She immediately called the manager.
M. and A. Delaney, a Minnesota couple nearing their 50th wedding anniversary, decided to celebrate in style. They booked a trip to Las Vegas. Following the travel agent’s recommendations, they toured the city, enjoyed a great meal and had a few drinks.
Mr. Delaney had been determined to end the evening with a bang. A romantic at heart, he wanted to surprise his wife with a night of passion and recreate their wedding night. Without his her knowledge, he took a sex enhancing pill. He had obtained the drug from a close friend, who had an erectile dysfunction.
When the manager and security personnel entered the room, they found Mrs. Delaney naked and utterly exhausted. She was tied to the bed with lanyards, which the couple had bought earlier that day at the hotel’s gift shop. Her naked husband, weighing approximately 240 pounds, was laying stretched out on top of her. He was dead.
According to the medical examiner Mr. Delaney died of a heart attack, which had occurred two hours prior to being found. The drug and erotic adventure were just too much for this poor senior’s heart. Mrs. Delany was treated for minor injuries on her wrists. She will be allowed to transport her husband’s remains back to Minnesota shortly.
