Put a Name With That Face

How often have you attended a function and been embarrassed because you could not remember the name of someone who clearly recalled yours?  Conversely, how many times have you addressed an old acquaintance at a reunion who could not place you?  These situations can be thorny.  They are also easily avoided by the use of a printed name badge.   A common name badge can be as simple as a cheap “Hi, My Name Is ________” sticker, but that can leave a gummy mess on your clothing.  A more suitable looking name badge can be had by slipping a pre-printed tag in a plastic sleeve pinned to clothing or worn around the neck using a lanyard.  The next time you plan a gathering or business meeting, consider giving everyone a printed name badge.  People who are poor at remembering names will thank you.

A printed name badge can be made by using a pre-printed, self inking stamp.  These stamps are inexpensive and can print from three to six lines of text.  Personalize them for large family or class reunions.  Get the name of your business out there by putting it on each printed name badge.  There are also many other uses for these handy self inking stamps besides printing name badges!  Have one made to stamp your return address on envelopes, label books you might loan out, or tag any other items that might be easily left behind.  If you handle many checks, you might consider having a stamp that includes your name (or business) and the words “For Deposit Only.”  Self-inking stamps are neat and quick to use, saving time spent writing repetitious phrases.
