In the spirit of honoring showing appreciation of the people around us, we must not forget of those that we sometime take for granted: caregivers.

Why honoring caregivers? Well, their job is to take care of our loved ones, and in order to give love, respect an care well, we must receive it as well..

You can see them in our houses, hospitals and other facilities, moving around those who need care and attention. And we don’t want them to feel under-appreciated, right? Because a resentful caregiver will do his/her job ….. probably in a “not so giving” way.

http://www.lapelpinsdirect.com/7-caregiver-lapel-pins-ideas-1373.html

 

Assistant nurses, caregivers do an exemplary job everyday, taking good care of our mothers, fathers, grandparents, sick children and friends, let's show them we care about them!

Lapel Pins are a great way of doing just that: they will display it with pride, for everyone to know: they are good at caring for others....

Do you have any other ideas or suggestions for caregiver lapel pins?

Fri, 09 Dec 2011 15:45:00 -0800 Custom Printed Pins Samples: The Technical Arts http://siennapacific.posterous.com/custom-printed-pins-samples http://siennapacific.posterous.com/custom-printed-pins-samples

pin-technicalarts

 

We really like these printed lapel pins, because they show many of the reasons why someone would use a printed lapel pin instead of a die-struck one:

1. Gradients

2.White text on blue background

3. Very small detail

The appropriate pin for your project is most time depending on how much we can maneuver your design, as most designs start with a printing conception which is then transformed in a die-struck appropriate one.

When in doubt, just ask!

Sun, 06 Nov 2011 07:36:00 -0800 Product Showcase: Full Branding For InkAddict http://siennapacific.posterous.com/product-showcase-full-branding-for-inkaddict http://siennapacific.posterous.com/product-showcase-full-branding-for-inkaddict

For today's post we want to feature our customer InkAddict.

InkAddict is an apparel brand that targets tattoo artists and tattoo lovers and enthusiasts. They offer clothing and accessories but what makes them stand out is the possibility of ordering custom tattoo t-shirts where you can display your own piece of art.

InkAddict is clearly aware of the importance of branding and creating an identity for your company. Their logo couldn't be more targeted to their customers and it definitively aims for an emotional link with them. Kudos to the artist who created it!

While browsing their online store, we found that all of their apparel collection displays that beautiful logo in very visible spots. By doing this, they're looking to build customer's loyalty and even to create a trend among them.

Aligned with this strategy, they asked us to create damask woven labels and embroidered patches with their logo to attach to their products. And when we told them that we also manufacture custom lapel pins and key chains they were delighted and order them as well.

This was a great project for us, we got the chance to create many of the products of our portfolio for only one customer! We're very pleased the way the products turned out and we just love to see them as part of their collection. Thank you InkAddict!

Index1
Those unfamiliar with the world of motorcycle / biker clubs wear and accessories, might immediate thinks about skulls, rough designs and foul language, well it might be like that for some but not in this case.

One of those is our US Military Vets customer’ who has ordered lapel pins for his organization in the past 7 years, asked us to create a design for the female riders in his club.

The initial design was a rough draft / sketch but that was no small feat for our design team, who worked on it with much care, as it was a really interesting, artistic design.

The custom lapel pins were made using antique bronze on a 3D design, to give it a more realistic feel /look.

Well the result was just gorgeous!

We are sure the US Military Vets Biker Chicks wear their lapel  pin with pride.

Mon, 13 Jun 2011 12:14:00 -0700 Why You Should Consider School Award Pins For Your Next Student Recognition Program? http://siennapacific.posterous.com/why-you-should-consider-school-award-pins-for http://siennapacific.posterous.com/why-you-should-consider-school-award-pins-for

Schools and parents are usually looking for ways to keep students motivated to perform well at school. Nowadays, students recognition program are very popular and they vary from cash prizes, to gifts and diplomas.

However, programs that aim to motivate students by encouraging personal pride for their achievements instead of linking money or gifts to their efforts have proven to attain better results.

School award pins can work great for this purpose. It will depend on the specific school goals how they implement the program, for example, schools can have a student of the month or reward the best students at the end of each semester.

Award pins can be given not only to reward good grades, but also to recognize students who have improved the most or the ones who are more helpful with their peers, etc. Options are endless!

"Award pins are a simple way to let students show off their achievements. Giving awards pins at a school assembly (preferably one where parents are encouraged to attend) is a simple way to tell your students that you are proud of their efforts. Students can then wear their award pins as a way to let others know how much they have achieved (a powerful motivator for kids). Sometimes, the best way to encourage your students doesn't have to be expensive or time-consuming, it just has to be a small token that shows them you are proud of all they have done." - Ezine Articles -

Susan G. Komen for the Cure®, the global leader of the breast cancer movement, will commemorate its 20 years anniversary next year 2012.

Awareness products, such as pink ribbon pins, have become symbols for the fight against breast cancer. They've helped many organizations to raise money as a vehicle for fundraising.

Breast cancer pins are specially popular. They're easy to use for everybody and can be used anywhere. Their affordable prices make them a viable option for many organizations or groups that want to support the cause.

"Not only do breast cancer pins show support for the struggles of women suffering from this illness, they also support research and other programs. This includes the Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF), a charity devoted to prevention and cure of the disease. The BCRF promotes the famous pink ribbon pin, and other goods that display the pink ribbon logo associated with this cause. Jewelry, clothing, personal care items and a large quantity of other supportive products are also offered by companies that have relationships with BCRF, which pledge donations to the foundation in exchange for purchase." - Ezine Articles -

As a small business owner, you might feel that you can't venture into an employee recognition award program because it might cost you a lot of money.

For today's post we would like to share some information about award pins or employee recognition pins. If you want to start an employee recognition program without spending a big amount of money, they are definitively an option that you may want to think about.

"Employees who feel appreciated and acknowledged tend to work harder and are happier at work. Businesses will find that a little investment can go a long way.  The cost of these custom made lapel pins can pay off in a big way, mostly in employee morale. A happy employee tends to be a more productive one." -  Ezine Articles -

Wed, 30 Mar 2011 14:12:00 -0700 April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month http://siennapacific.posterous.com/april-is-national-child-abuse-prevention-mont http://siennapacific.posterous.com/april-is-national-child-abuse-prevention-mont

April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month and it's time to raise awareness about child abuse and neglect and create strong communities to support children and families.

Blue Ribbons have become a symbol of awareness for child abuse prevention month.

"In 1989, the Blue Ribbon Campaign to Prevent Child Abuse began as a Virginia grandmother's tribute to her grandson who died as a result of abuse. She tied a blue ribbon to the antenna of her car as a way to remember him and to alert her community to the tragedy of child abuse. The Blue Ribbon Campaign has since expanded across the country, and many wear blue ribbons each April in memory of those who have died as a result of child abuse. In other communities, special fundraisers are held to support prevention activities and treatment facilities for victims, and candlelight vigils are held as a remembrance. Most recently, the focus has shifted to a more positive message of celebrating "blue ribbon" individuals, organizations, and communities that have done much to prevent child abuse and neglect." - Childwelfare.gov -

To learn more about the history of Child Abuse Prevention Month and to get important information and resources please visit http://www.childwelfare.gov/

Awareness ribbon pins are an effective and economical way to raise awareness in your community about any cause you would like to support. They can be distributed among your friends or at events, conferences and health fairs. By wearing a lapel pin you're showing your concern and commitment and playing an important role in the task of raising awareness and spreading the word for your cause.

Sienna Pacific store carries a variety of colors and styles of awareness pins and silicone bracelets that may work perfect for your project. On the other hand, if you would like to make your awareness pins customized  with a special message or name visit www.lapelpinsdirect.com or call (888) 720- 2115.

Wed, 30 Mar 2011 13:59:00 -0700 "Jobs" Lapel Pins To Remind Legislators To Create More Jobs http://siennapacific.posterous.com/jobs-lapel-pins-to-remind-legislators-to-crea http://siennapacific.posterous.com/jobs-lapel-pins-to-remind-legislators-to-crea

Legislators and lobbyists in Salem, Oregon are wearing "Jobs" pins as a reminder that they need to focus in jobs creation.

"JOBS" pins have flooded the Oregon Capitol in Salem. These little lapel pins, which simply say "JOBS," worn by legislators and lobbyists, progressives and conservatives alike, serve as a constant reminder that everyone wants this to be a jobs session and everyone wants their bills to be jobs bills. - StatesmanJournal.com -

Unemployment is still a big problem that needs to be solve. Due to the economic recession affecting the entire nation, many people have lost their jobs in the past three years and a lot of them are still waiting to find a new one.

This issue is for sure one of the biggest priorities for many states. We applaud Oregon initiative, it shows the community that their legislators are definitively aware of the situation and their commitment to try to solve it as soon as possible.

Custom lapel pins can be used to make a statement, to share a vision or to create awareness about an issue or situation that we believe is important. Lapel pins are highly visible and easy to wear for anyone. Moreover, their affordable prices make them a smart option that no one shouldn't overlook.

Fri, 18 Mar 2011 11:35:00 -0700 Lapel Pins in Action: Lilies for Lillie Campaign http://siennapacific.posterous.com/lapel-pins-in-action-lilies-for-lillie-campai http://siennapacific.posterous.com/lapel-pins-in-action-lilies-for-lillie-campai

I would like to share this story to illustrate how lapel pins can be a valuable addition to any fundraising effort.

The Lilies for Lillie campaign was created by Gord Delaney in memory of his mother Lillie in 2003.

“Lilies for Lillie has raised $250,000 and sold over 55,000 lapel pins over the past seven years and that is truly amazing” says founder Gord Delaney. “The support from the business community and communities around the province is always inspiring. Often times I walk by somebody wearing a LFL lapel pin and I cannot help but smile and think it’s pretty neat that somebody who never met my mother is helping me remember her and celebrate her life.” - The Telegram -

For this year fundraising, Lilies for Lillie has set the goal to raise $ 50,000 that will be equally split and donated to Daffodil Place, Heart and Stroke Foundation and the K-Rock Children’s Trust Fund.

Every time I read about this kind of stories, I'm amazed for the capacity of some people to turn around, what is maybe a sad moment or a bad experience, to a magnificent effort to help others and moreover to get the entire community involve in the process.

Custom lapel pins can help your fundraising drive Sometimes, it's easier to ask for donations if we can give something in exchange, like a pin for example. By including awareness pins in your campaign you're not only making things easier for the volunteers to ask for contributions, but also, spreading the word about your cause. Anyone wearing your lapel pins will become your ambassadors!

April is Daffodil Month!

For this year annual spring fundraising campaign, the Canadian Cancer Society is replacing daffodil live flowers with yellow daffodil lapel pins.

The decision was made with the idea that lapel pins can be worn on clothing all day and create more awareness. While a bouquet of live flowers is beautiful, a person can't walk around with it all day. On the contrary, lapel pins can be worn by anyone on t-shirts, jackets, suits, etc.

"Funds raised through the sale of daffodils enable the cancer society to fund excellence in research on all types of cancer and advocate for healthy public policy, promote healthy lifestyles to help prevent and reduce cancer risk, provide information about cancer and support people living with cancer." - Chatam Daily News -

"The daffodil pin is to be worn as a symbol of courage and support in honour of cancer survivors, loved ones and friends currently on a cancer journey. When you wear a daffodil pin throughout the month of April, you are uniting behind everyone living with cancer in Oxford." - Ingersolltimes -

For more information go to Canadian Cancer Society.

Custom lapel pins can be a very good ally for any cause. They can be sold to raise money and since they're easy to wear everybody will be displaying them showing their support and spreading the word.
If you're planning to drive a fundraising campaign, you may want to consider lapel pins as part of your crusade.
