Centerpieces and Table Decorations

While the main decorations were bright red and yellow paper flowers, the groom had the fun idea of incorporating the ribbons alongside. The ribbons were quickly cut from the roll to display the imprinted information. Using these snippets, they were placed on each table and the display tables as decorative scatter. Several of the guests complimented the couple on this grand idea!

The centerpieces were vases full of fun, colored popcorn that was part of the refreshments for reception guests. Each vase was tied with a length of ribbon roll to display the color theme for the occasion.

And Don’t Forget the Cake!

Keeping with the color scheme was important for this couple. So, not only did the flowers have to match, but so did the ribbon. And it was flawlessly displayed on the three-tiered cake! Both ribbon colors were wrapped around the base of each layer. The baker was careful to make sure that the names and date showed nicely without any overlap.

Most of these ideas were crafted by either the bride or the groom; some on the day of the wedding and reception! So, no matter how simple, or how ornate, you want your wedding to be, personalized ribbons are always a great way to go.

Trade Shows and 5 Ways to Promote Your Brand

Quality ribbons promote company brands at trade shows and other events.

The way to increase brand recognition is to increase brand exposure, and using custom ribbons with your company name or logo at trade shows can help you do just that.

Even within one industry, there is a lot of competition. Many companies sell similar products, and all of them are trying to convince customers to buy from them. If you want to stand out from the crowd, people need to know who you are. They need to see your logo and recognize it as yours.

What a perfect opportunity to get your name and logo out there for customers to see. Trade shows are an excellent opportunity to showcase your products and advertise your brand. Everyone there is interested in your industry and will be looking for the products which you sell.

There are a plethora of marketing tools to use to promote your brand at trade shows. An easy tool to use is ribbons. Ribbons are fun, decorative and eye-catching.

Here are five ways to use ribbons to promote your brand at trade shows.

Backdrop Decorations

Use colorful ribbon rolls to make a backdrop that will stand out. Add your company name and logo to increase brand recognition. Tie strands of ribbon onto a string to make a garland or simply let them hang down from the top of a backdrop board like a waterfall.

Ribbon Name Badges

Help customers feel comfortable talking to you by wearing a badge ribbon with your name on it. When your name is visible on your chest, people can relate to you as a person and feel they can walk up to you and ask questions. Ribbon badges also add flair to your work clothes and make you appear friendlier. You may include your company logo on the ribbon as well, but make sure your name is large enough that people can read it from afar.

Fun Giveaways

Nothing gets people coming to your booth like free stuff! But wait! First make your products look extra special by tying pretty ribbons around them. And again, make sure to add your company name and logo so that the people who receive your giveaways remember you.

Booth Displays

Another way to attract people to your booth is by having a charming table display. Use framed photos of your products or employees and tie a beautiful bow around them. Or, put flowers in a vase to give your booth a sweet-smelling aroma.

Support a Cause

People love it when companies give back to the community. Show your support for a local charity with a custom ribbon that says the name of a cause or non-profit you help fund. Customize these ribbons to have the text on the ends so you can fold the ribbon into a loop and pin it to your chest.

Understanding the Social Effect of Ribbons

From awareness and awards to wedding and event decorations, all ribbons have one thing in common: they create a social atmosphere. Ribbons are a perfect way to create fun. Whether it be part of a craft project or using them for decorations at your next party, they inevitably accomplish the same things. They drive your need to socialize. And this is an important aspect of ribbons.

To understand why all ribbons are social, ask yourself the following questions.

finding the social aspect and necessity in your ribbon usage

First, picture the world without ribbons. Now ask yourself why this would affect you and how it would impact your social life. Perhaps it doesn’t affect your daily life, but the overall quality of life would diminish. We don’t mean to state that without ribbons life is pointless. We only mean to state that ribbons spice up our lives. Take gift giving into consideration. What is your reaction to a present that isn’t wrapped? We all want to receive a beautifully packaged gift because we all want to feel appreciated. In this case, the social need for ribbons is to make someone feel special.

The next question you should ask yourself is where you would be at any given event without ribbons. Most events have decorations for the tables, backdrops and other pieces to get attention. Without ribbons, how would these social events look? No bright colors or fun ornamentation would make for a boring party. Yes, the disco ball would still be there, but what about the streamers and table runners? Ribbons make a party more social and exciting.

Another question you need to ask is how you would feel about excelling at a sporting event or academic achievement and not receiving any recognition. Without badge ribbons or award ribbons, we would all feel a bit left out, possibly even that it was a waste of our time from the get-go for even participating. Ribbons fill that social recognition that we all crave.

Other ribbon uses include a variety of arts and craft projects, commemorations, and ribbon-cutting ceremonies. They are also presented to honor service members as well as given or worn as symbols for causes and issue awareness.

So, join in on the fun! Ribbons are entertaining, cheerful, fascinating and they create the perfect finishing touch for projects, crafts and any event. Make your life social and full of ribbons today!
