Branded Ribbons: Defining Your Business

Personalized ribbons and branding are synonymous. Company recognition goes through the roof when your business starts with these branded ribbons! Especially when they are added to product packaging or given as you perform services. Even provide them with goody bags at your next corporate event or conference.

But what is company branding? A company’s brand is what they are, what they want to be and what they aim to become as they build their promise of quality, trust or service. Make sure that your company branding helps you stand out from your competition. Help your customers know what to expect from your brand.

Branding with Custom Ribbons – A Marketing Must!

Branding, from recognition to awareness, is the best way your business will grow while increasing your customer base. Therefore, making your products or services synonymous with your company is pertinent as you strive to reach your business goals. That way, customers think of your company when they need your product.

So, how can custom ribbons give immediate benefits and add to your brand? Ribbons adapt well, and they are trendy. From fairs and festivals to holidays and parties, your logo will look great on any ribbon. And these ribbons, as you present them or pass them out, will garner brand recognition and company awareness. Using a trend like custom ribbons will help your business take the lead in your industry.

Using colors and text to customize your ribbon choice will help boost your brand recognition. But, make sure these choices adhere to any established brand voice your company has already. Personalized ribbons are guaranteed to welcome customers, old and new. And they will help enhance the customer experience.

Standing out with Branded Products

An important feature to succeeding as a company (and brand) is to show that you offer better products and services. Remember, you need to stand out in your market.

By using branded ribbons, you add an extra flair to your business. This flair helps to make your product or service stand out. Use these ribbons in your product packaging as well so that your customer will never forget their first impression. As a result, your customers will surely remember you the next time they need your product or service.

Customers will feel like sharing their experience with your company when they have a good experience. Those who enjoy interactions with you and your employees are more likely to help promote your brand. After all, a customer’s happiness is what keeps them returning (and bringing others with them).

To show you how to perfect your networking strategy, we have answered four frequently asked questions about our custom ribbons.

Question: What should I include on ribbon rolls for my business?

Then, use these ribbons to wrap corporate gifts for potential clients and business partners. Adding this personal touch to your gifts will show each associate that you value your relationship with them. As you nurture your relationships with personalized ribbons, you will grow your business by gaining new clients and forming new partnerships.

Question: How can custom ribbons be used as handouts?

Answer: Turn Custom Top Ribbons into eye-catching handouts by adding information about your company, products and services.

To recruit talented employees, personalize Custom Top Ribbons with full-color text and graphics that highlight the benefits of working for your company. Pass these ribbons out at job fairs or mail them as part of recruitment packets to attract your ideal candidates. Everyone will be so impressed with your ribbon handouts that they will hold onto them long after receiving them. The longer they have them, the more likely they will apply for the jobs you need to fill.

You can also use Custom Top Ribbons to create promotional handouts for conferences, trade shows and direct mail marketing. Add text and graphics that educate people on the value of your brand. Or, turn your ribbon handouts into coupons. However you choose to attract new clients, you can be sure the full-color printing on these custom ribbons will grab people’s attention and grow your clientele.

Question: Why should I wear a badge ribbon with my name tag?

Answer: Badge ribbons allow you to share more information about yourself and set you apart from other professionals.

At job fairs (virtual or otherwise), use badge ribbons to convince employers to hire you. First, customize badge ribbons with short descriptions of the skills and experiences that make you the perfect candidate. Then, attach the ribbons to your name tag so they are easily visible. Not only will wearing badge ribbons make you memorable, but it will also show recruiters that you qualify for the job before they even see your resume.

Pro Tip: To get the most professional look, use a 3.5 inch horizontal badge ribbon on a 3.5 inch name tag. Or, place two vertical 1.625 inch ribbons on a 3.5 inch name tag.

Question: What can I use blank ribbons for?

Answer: Use Blank Ribbons to spark conversations at networking events and get insights for your business.

Add text to blank ribbons as part of a networking strategy.

While you can use custom imprinted badge ribbons the same way, keep in mind that the questions you want to ask your peers may change over time. Therefore, it is much easier and more affordable to order blank ribbons and add text when you need it.
