As we have been discussing in previous posts, Lapel Pins can serve several causes or objectives.

A business can do Company Pins to advertise its brand or Award Pins to reward workers for a special achievement or for a job well done.

Today we would like to talk about Political Pins because in the scope of politics they can help to get more popularity.

Whether the pins are for local or national elections they can be designed to be elegant and attention getting.

Custom Lapel Pins allow you to include your logo and other common elements such as county seal, stars, Eagle, State and or U.S. Flags along with other details needed to get your message out.

Political Lapel Pins are used for Staff Members and Poll Workers who have a high public profile with the media and the general public. The look of the Political lapel pin is more sophisticated than using the large campaign buttons.

Thu, 18 Nov 2010 10:58:00 -0800 Political Lapel Pins - Controversy around Chris Christie Online Store http://siennapacific.posterous.com/political-lapel-pins-controversy-around-chris http://siennapacific.posterous.com/political-lapel-pins-controversy-around-chris

Christopher James "Chris" Christie is the current Governor of New Jersey. He became the first Republican to win a statewide election in New Jersey in 12 years.

The NJ Republican party has decided to capitalize on the popularity of the Governor by selling a line of Chris Christie merchandise. The online store offers T-Shirts, lapel pins and coffee mugs with the Governor's name.

There's a controversy around this initiative. Some people think that it shows that he's more interested in building his image than governing NJ. On the other side, other people believe is not a big issue and it's actually an unique and fun idea.

To read the complete article visit Yahoo News or go to the Chris Christie Online Store.

Sat, 06 Nov 2010 19:06:00 -0700 Lapel Pins and Politics Gone Wrong - Part 2 http://siennapacific.posterous.com/lapel-pins-and-politics-gone-wrong-part-2 http://siennapacific.posterous.com/lapel-pins-and-politics-gone-wrong-part-2

The stories keep coming and coming. Left and right, time after time, politicians and government are being critized by what some consider misuse of tax payers money.

I believe it would be different if the economy wasn't so bad. People are being more vigilant of how their hard earned money is being spent. And they should!

The latest story is about the G8 and G20 meetings, where the amount spent in gifts to international representatives is under fire.

The 'troubled' spends include among others, the following promotional items

Among the highlights: $3,039 for woven shawls by Huntsville' artist Marni Martin and $2,362.50 for crystal CN Tower replicas for the leaders' spouses; $2,560 for eight Hudson Bay blankets to give as gifts to political directors; $8,422 for Kanuk Umbrella coats in midnight blue for a march photo op with G8 Foreign Ministers; $32,000 on G8 and G20 lanyards, $24,297 on G20 lapel pins and zipper pulls; $750 for canoe paddles; $11,000 for a handmade Lindgren Pottery dining set for 24; $11,000 for pens; $3,136 for biodegradable pens; $8,267 for baggage handling carts and more than $1 million on IT equipment. Source

We all know that if you invite influential people to a meeting, they expect certain treatment and perks, otherwise you can be tilded of 'cheap'. Not that government likes that tag. But there are justifited expenses and some that are plain useless. Do tou really think these peopl care about a special logo 'zipper pull' enough to justify $10,000 ?  I don't think so. If money is tight, you should make adjustments and spend less in frivolous things - specially those that won't make a difference on the receiver- jewlery like custom lapel pins, on the other hand, have a higher perceived value and can be viewed as jewelry, and be more appreciated by those who wear them and receive them.

To finalize, I think people and government should be wiser with the money they manage, but let's face it, sometimes is not about 'needing' but 'wanting' and when we want something, we got to have it.
