This lapel pin is a little sample of a very larger of award pins, with several different denominations for the years.

Even if our minimum order is stated as 100, or 50 pins, we can also accommodate smaller orders with little changes like this one.

The little ‘trick’ we did, in order to make produce a classy lapel pin and at the same time make it cost effective, was to struck one design, to use hard enamel colors, which provided us with a smooth surface and then print the individual year of service over the hard enamel color.

This is one of the many combinations we come up to help our customers create a great quality product with excellent perceived value at the best cost.

Index1
 

Years of service pins are very popular way of showing appreciation to your employees, as it usually involves public demonstration and pinning ceremony, which is always very appealing to those receiving them.

The most common on is to use different platings, and in this case the customer also wanted to include different designs as well, so every years of service pin is different in both design and plating.

This employee recognition project  used:

  • Antique silver (pewter) for the 10 years of service pin
  • Antique bronze for the 20 years of service pins
  • Silver sandblast for the 30 years of service pins and
  • Gold sandblast for the 40 years of service pins.

 

Unity Hospital’s human resources team put a lot of thought and care on the design and execution of their employee recognition lapel pins , which shows how much they care about their recognition program, we are sure that was also noticed by employees being recognized.

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 -

"Jeans Day™ is a fun and easy event for people of all ages to participate in and show their support of BC’s kids. By purchasing a $5 button or $20 lapel pin, you get a chance to wear your jeans to work or school on April 28 and help the kids at BC Children's Hospital." - BC Children's Hospital Foundation -

The buttons and lapel pins can be purchased in several retailers locations around town such as Costco or Overwaitea Foods.

Since its first year, Jeans Day has raised over 11 million dollars in support of the BC Children’s Hospital Excellence in Child Health Fund.

To support the cause, visit any of the sponsors locations before April 28 and buy a lapel pin or a button. And of course, don't forget to wear your jeans on the 28th!

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.

Visit www.lflhome.com for more information.

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!

Fri, 18 Mar 2011 10:07:00 -0700 Canadian Cancer Society - Daffodil Lapel Pins To Raise Awareness http://siennapacific.posterous.com/canadian-cancer-society-daffodil-lapel-pins-t http://siennapacific.posterous.com/canadian-cancer-society-daffodil-lapel-pins-t

Flower_pin
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.

For stock lapel pins, please visit our online store where we carry awareness pins in a variety of colors and you can have them delivery immediately.

And if you're looking for something more personalized we can also help in your project. With custom made pins you can choose your own unique design and a special message can be included.. Please visit Lapel Pins or call (888) 720-2115.

According to Childcan, a organization in the Southwestern Ontario area that helps children and their families cope with the diagnosis of cancer; 10,000 Canadian children are living with cancer today and about 1,500 are diagnosed each year.

Childhood cancer survivor Stephanie Simmons of London, Ont., has launched a national campaign to raise awareness of childhood cancer in Canada.

As part of the campaign, gold ribbon lapel pins and vehicle magnets are going to be sold and all the profits will be used on research with the ultimate goal of finding a cure for this mortal disease.

"What drives research and what drives ultimately finding a cure, it's awareness and, I hate to say it, money," he said.
"The more people know about these lesser known cancers, the better chance these kids have of having a fighting chance." - The Sun Times -

Anyone, who is affected by any form of cancer, comprehends the importance of raising awareness and funds to find a cure. Fundraising is comprised of a variation of components, such as an event, lapel pins and a contagious viral marketing campaign.  At the end, awareness ribbon pins are symbols, emblemizing donor's contribution to the critical cause: a final cure for cancer!

Once you make the call we will help you to decide which option is right for you and your charity's message. Call us toll free (888) 720-2115.

"Making a statement via lapel pin is still very much in vogue.

Mark Ruffalo and a few others donned waterdrop-shaped blue lapel pins to represent efforts to fight for clean water in the face of modern-day energy extraction techniques, which can contaminate nearby water supplies. (The controversy over what's known as "fracking" for natural gas was the subject of the nommed feature docu "Gasland.")

Ruffalo recently co-founded Waterdefense.org with other activists, and said he was motivated "because I live smack dab in the middle of gasland in upstate New York." He found himself "mortified by the conditions people are living in with contaminated wells, and they can't drink water out of their faucets." " - Variety -

Custom pins are a fantastic way to spread the word and raise awareness. They can be personalized with any message that you would like and since they have a lot of exposure everybody will see your message or will know about your crusade.

Most likely, awareness ribbon pins are the most popular ones but actually any cause can be promoted through custom lapel pins.

We congratulate Mark Ruffalo's initiative. Besides his support to the cause, he demonstrated his commitment by wearing the pin in such important event as the Oscars.

Memorial pins are often used to honor someone or to remember a tragic event.

Memories can give some console during times of mourning and Lapel Pins can help to remind and to tribute our loved ones.

The following history is a good example how Custom Made Lapel Pins can help not only to honor a hero but to fundraise for a good cause at the same time.

It's about a police officer in Ontario who was killed in the line of duty. A local businessman decided to purchase Commemorative Lapel Pins for the members of the police service and also sell them to set up a special trust for the family of the fallen officer.

"I had the opportunity to view the funeral of Sgt. Russell, and quite frankly I was taken back by the whole event," said Brown, managing partner of Bridgeview Marina and operator of Sarnia Bay Marina. "I wanted to do something to support the family, and at the same time, honour the police officers in our community." - The Observer -

Don´t hesitate to call or email us with any questions you might have. We often help guide our customers through the Custom Pins order process and with the design as well. For more information please call (888) 720-2115.

Thu, 20 Jan 2011 13:47:00 -0800 Patriotic Lapel Pins To Support Our Troops http://siennapacific.posterous.com/patriotic-lapel-pins-to-support-our-troops http://siennapacific.posterous.com/patriotic-lapel-pins-to-support-our-troops

A design services company in the state of Montana has launched patriotic magnets to show support for the safe return of American troops.

They're offering quantity discounts for groups that would like to utilize them in fundraising efforts and all the profits from the sale of these items will go to support the cause.

Depending on consumer's response, they're planning to launch similar lapel pins and window decals. For more information visit http://hostsbuys.com/web/O5313237O1/view685570093

We wanted to share this story because we think is wonderful to have private companies involved in causes like this one.
