Decorating Your Office & Corporate Gifting

Did you know that the rules that apply to decorating your office also apply to corporate gifting?

From wrapping to branding, custom ribbons are perfect for decorating. You have heard it from us before, custom ribbons are essential for the holidays. And you have also heard that corporate gifting is a must for nearly every business. So, the key to maintaining these necessary relationships is remembering to customize your ribbons with the right information.

But, although you may have been giving back to your clients for many years, you may not know all there is to corporate gifting. So, here are some helpful hints when considering your corporate gifting (and decorating) this year.

We’ve said it before, don’t forget about proper marketing and branding.

There are many reasons for corporate gifting that range from thanking customers for their business to recognizing employees for outstanding work. But, the primary goal seems always to be the same. It is to sustain relationships and deepen the personal connection between the giver and the recipient.

Most companies agree that this fundamental reason is an opportunity to share your holiday cheer, connect with your clients and strengthen employee ties. Recruiting, retention and development are three other great reasons to give a corporate gift.

But, what does that have to do with decorating your office for the holidays? Well, that branded ribbon you now have lying around after wrapping all your corporate gifts is the perfect solution!

Use your leftover ribbon rolls to wrap up your office for the holidays. From the front reception desk to office doors, don’t leave anything without a bit of cheer attached. Make fun, festive bows to attach to the top of computers and hang on the wall. Or, cut little strips as table scatter for the luncheon you surely have planned to celebrate the holiday with your colleagues.

Don’t limit yourself to ribbon rolls. Grab some badge ribbons left from your last conference and start handing them out. They are great for bookmarks and other decorating around your office or store. Or, hang a fancy rosette ribbon on a door instead of a wreath!

And, remember that it isn’t always about the newest tech gadget or the latest candy fad.

Sometimes, the most memorable gift you can give is something personalized. From a fancy new name plate to custom award plaques, we have that unique gift for that special individual. And, once you choose the perfect corporate gift, keep your decorating perfect with custom branded ribbons!

Conventions, Events & Festivals

No event is complete without ribbons! And events such as weddings and other parties prove that. From decorating tables to providing accessories for attendees, every event can find a use for ribbons.

Marketing Ribbons & Why You Need Them

From logos to company names, product marketing ribbons are a must for any business.

Custom marketing ribbons are a great way to advertise your product or services. These ribbons are used to add decorations to packaging or promote a new product. And, when you add custom text and company logos, marketing takes on a whole new level. Here are some useful ideas to get you started with product ribbons.

Boxes & Bags

From gifts to giveaways, custom ribbons have been around for a while. And they are easy to use with a box or bag. Simply wrap a length of custom ribbon roll around a product box to show off your corporate branding. Or, attach a bow or badge ribbon to a bag to explain what your product is to your consumer.

But, no matter the ribbon type, custom ribbons are genuinely perfect for wrapping. However, here is a new idea: try a rosette ribbon to add some class. Did you know you can customize the button in the center of the rosette? Add your logo or a graphic that represents your company.

Flowers & Food

Roses, daisies and cookies all look great wrapped in custom ribbons. Add personalized marketing ribbons to your fresh products for a unique look. You can even add printing describing your product to these ribbons. Your custom ribbon rolls can read Chocolate Chip or Long Stem, White depending on what you are selling.

Or, wrap a bouquet with custom ribbon stating your company name and logo, so your customers know where to return when they need more flowers. And, by adding custom text or logos to baked goods, your branding will bring in new customers as they see others consuming your products. So, never underestimate the power of marketing ribbons!

Accessories & Apparel

Use badge ribbons or ribbon rolls to find a creative way to display earrings, sweaters and more at your store. From a local boutique to a larger chain store, customize a ribbon to meet your needs. Personalized ribbons create an appealing presentation for any product. Marketing ribbons help attract needed attention to your products, and they will also increase brand recognition.

Local & Large

It doesn’t matter if you work at a large chain store or your local farmer’s market, these ribbons are for everyone. Remember that when it comes to proper branding to choose coordinating colors, text and logos. And, make sure to pick the right ribbon for your need.

So, whether it’s a shoebox from a big brand name or a bouquet from a small, local shop, product marketing ribbons are sure to help you get your sales up!

Convention & Conference Badge Ribbons

From comic conventions to business conferences, badge ribbons are all the rave!

Each badge ribbon obtained from a conference or convention serves a purpose. So, what happens when they are all combined? And where do you put them all? Every badge ribbon is used as an identifier and as a visual stimulant.

Badge ribbons can make someone stand out from a crowd. They are also suggested as an effective way to make an initial introduction and break the ice for those attending a social meeting. These ribbons can be found nearly anywhere, but most badge ribbons are obtained from trade shows, conventions, conferences, meetings or other social functions.

No matter the convention, there are sure to be badge ribbons available to wear on your name badge. Why not make the most of them? And, the more, the merrier!

So, what is a Badge Ribbon?

Made from a small piece of ribbon, each convention ribbon typically features titles or basic information about the event. However, the titles can also be silly and inventive. And, while most badge ribbons are text only, full color printing is available for adding pizzazz to any badge ribbon.

Seriously, the sky is the limit when it comes to convention badge ribbons. Feature television or movie quotes on ribbons. Or, provide character names from books or theater productions. But remember to keep in mind the topic and theme of the convention or conference.

Badge ribbons are a fun way to add your unique flair to your convention or conference experience. Using the adhesive strip on the top of each ribbon, attach each one to a badge holder or name tag. And, the best part of each badge ribbon is showing off how many and which ones you have.

These ribbons come in a wide range of styles and colors, and it’s entirely upon the individual to create and distribute their badge ribbons. From funny titles and sayings to identifying attendees and knowing who sponsors and speakers are, badge ribbons will always play an important role at any convention or conference.

Conference vs. Convention

While conferences and conventions don’t differ significantly, badge ribbons can have a different use at every event. Conventions typically give out ribbons to represent fandoms and current fads. This differs from a conference ribbon which will usually only represent speakers, presenters, ushers, vendors and more. Conference ribbons attach to the bottom of a name badge and help to identify someone’s role at an event. While at a convention, multiple ribbons can express personality rather than only play the role of identification.

Badge ribbons are an excellent way to break the ice and stop any awkward stares or uncomfortable moments when someone doesn’t know what to say or how to introduce themselves. Stacking personalized ribbons on name badges is an effective way to identify any role at these events.

So, let your badge ribbon help you to stand out at any event, whether it’s a conference or a convention.

Fall Wedding: Celebrating with Ribbons

Whether large or small, no fall wedding is complete without ribbons!

What a beautiful time of year to have a wedding. With the cooler air and the crisp fall colors and smells, there is no better time to celebrate a couple’s love for each other. And, with the available dark-colored ribbons, decorating for any fall wedding has never been easier!

From reds and oranges to deep purples and greens, everything about a fall wedding will be a lot more fun with ribbons. Add them to invitations and RSVP cards. And, to keep with tradition, add them to the wedding or groom’s cake. Or, look for something a little less traditional and attach personalized ribbons to balloons.

Use fun, personalized ribbons to secure balloons to a table or other decorative spot. Run a ribbon from the base of each balloon to the table and secure it with a piece of tape or by tying it around a balloon weight. These ribbons should complement or match the balloons so as not to detract from the rest of the decorations. Use multiple strands per balloon for added fun. Or tie pretty bows to the base of each balloon.

Add ribbons into the lighting at the event. By draping ribbons with soft lights, the couple’s chosen colors will pop and dance around the room. Or, tie bows around candles to add to the decorations. But, no matter where the ribbons are used, make sure to include the pretty fall wedding colors to all of the decorations!

Remembering Who Attended

Another idea is to incorporate personalized ribbons into the wedding guestbook. Use a ribbon roll and have everyone sign the back of the ribbon length. Or use blank badge ribbons and have guests sign the ribbons and leave special wedding wishes. Once these are signed, put them in a box or a basket for some added color on the table. And the bride and groom are sure to keep these ribbons sitting out in their new home to remind them of their special day.

Be Creative With Flowers

Instead of giving everyone flowers to hold while standing in a traditional wedding line, make ribbon wands for the bridesmaids. Make them as big as needed, and the cascading ribbons are sure to get the attention they deserve. Ribbon wands are also a great way to send off the bride and groom at the end of the ceremony. Instead of rice or bubbles, have everyone wave these colorful ribbons as the happy couple departs from the venue. And then let each guest keep their wand as a memento of the joyous occasion.

Or, create a flower station for guests and the wedding party to make corsages to wear. Pick out flowers in the chosen wedding colors, or use the Autumn season as inspiration. From sunflowers to deep red roses, let everyone create a small corsage or hold a flower bouquet to represent the love surrounding them. Get super creative and have the wedding guests each hand the bride a flower to add to her bouquet as she walks down the aisle.

There are so many things to use personalized ribbons for at every fall wedding.
