Lanyards are stylish and functional. They come in all types of patterns and colors. They can be worn at work and make showing identification easy and fun. Rather than tote a purse around all night, many women opt to carry their driver’s license and other necessities in the clear plastic pouch attached to the lanyard. If you like lanyards lock one for your birthday from one of gift registries websites.

Lanyards can be purchased through storefront retailers and online shops. The cloth strip meant to go around the neck may have a cute saying or cartoon character printed on it.

Some companies require their employees to wear lanyards. Rather than don the average nametag, which leaves holes in clothing, businesses are changing their policies and giving out the fashion accessories as part of their staff’s wardrobe. Bought in bulk, lanyards can be personalized with the company’s name or logo. Read more »

Marketing after the Greats

“Because custom necklace lanyards are highly customizable with a wide variety of color and printed message options, they are also popular promotional products that are affordable even for companies or organizations with small marketing budgets.” (Necklace Lanyards for Brand Awareness, 2009)

People who know marketing will tell you that inventing new ways to market is like reinventing the wheel — it’s time consuming and pointless. Instead, great marketers recycle themes, giving old techniques a new spin. If you’re looking to market after the greats, lanyards are a perfect recycled marketing technique.

– Along with essential contact information (phone number, email, website, etc.), include an inspirational message on the lanyard that will make people smile and encourage them to carry it around everywhere.

– Give out lanyards as part of a larger prize or complimentary gift. Attach the lanyard to a USB drive, a small flashlight, or a pen, and the simple lanyard becomes an essential item people will want to carry around with them everywhere. Read more »

My first silicone Bracelet: Words are not always as they appear!

My first silicone wristband was purchased in June of 2005. I was shopping with my mother and little sister at a store in North Carolina. I had been begging for one for a long time, because literally every kid at my school owned one.They had silicone wristbands from every charity, lined up and down their arms and some people wore them on their ankles.

Livestrong bracelets, breast cancer awareness bracelets, child abuse prevention silicone bracelets, were all part of the ones more commonly seen. Then of course there were the silicone bracelets proclaiming ones love for another person, best friend bracelets, and many more. 

I spotted the perfect silicone bracelet inside a popular boutique, and it was on sale for $1.50. It said in bold letters “proud”. That was pretty cheap, and I begged my Mom to buy it for me. She agreed, and I put it on immediately. I wore it proudly all day, and I admired the soft silicone as well as the pretty colors that it was made from. 

The next day at school I wore it out of excitement and showed it off to everyone I knew at school. People were clearly jealous of my wonderful silicone bracelet! 
That is, until someone blatantly pointed out that my first silicone wristband didn’t say what I thought it said. Instead, the bracelet said “prude” and everyone laughed at me. Read more »

Remembering Watching Movies with My Dad

The most advanced use of DVD technology comes in the form of science fiction movies. These DVDs are some of the most amazing available on the market. I, myself, have always enjoyed science fiction, ever since I was a little kid. My dad and I used to rent video cassettes and stay up until all hours of the night on the weekend and watch a variety of bad B-films and famously popular cult classics. Today, I’ve bought a number of these pictures in the form of DVDs.

Robbery gone wrong in mall restroom - senior safe

Edmonton, AB – A 76-year old Winnipeg woman was attacked in a mall restroom yesterday afternoon. The incident happened when Margret Richards tried to use the restroom facilities, while her husband was shopping at an electronic store in the mall. Mrs. Richards entered the public restroom alone on the main floor of the mall. It had been raining and she noticed the floor was filthy. She picked a stall, and not wanting to ruin her new purse, hung it on the hook on the stall door. About to start her business, Mrs. Richards noticed a hand coming over the door. It was about to grab her purse. Mrs. Richards was aware that it was not safe to hang items on public restroom door hooks and had kept her umbrella next to her. She hit the hand, which in a reflex, tried to pull back. Unfortunately for the thief, her wristband got caught on the hook. Mrs. Richards screamed for help as loud as she could, while beating on the thieving hand with her umbrella. It attracted the attention of several shoppers, who quickly alerted mall security. Two guards apprehended the thief, who had a badly bruised hand. She was later identified as 17-year old Amanda L. The irony of the story is that Amanda’s pink wristband was imprinted with the word ‘faith.’ Lesson learned! Amanda L. was charged with attempted theft and convicted to one month community service.

Thoughts: 14-05-09The first time that Matt asked me out, we went to an AC/DC concert. I wasn’t really sure that I wanted to go out with Matt since he always seemed so reserved and quiet when he was around me. But, I did want to go see the rock band AC/DC, so I consented to the date. I was ever so wrong about Matt. Right away he bought us some glow sticks and dragged me through the crowd and down towards the front of the stage where everybody was dancing and moving their glow sticks in time to the music. As it turns out, Matt is a wonderful dancer and boy, does he look good with those glow sticks in his hand.
