Creative Applications of Custom Lanyards

Promotional lanyards are sometimes reduced to being identification holders. Yet they remain as one of the most effective advertising tools to make your brand known since it's very visible to passers by when worn. But if only you can get more creative, lanyards can go beyond being plain ID holders. In this post, we will introduce to you the other applications of custom lanyards that will get event attendees talking about your brand.

  1. Transform lanyards into branding elements.
  2. Use lanyards as ticket holders.
  3. Enhance lanyards with digital elements.

Personalised Ticket Holders

As you step closer to the entrance, you notice a group of people wearing lanyards that hold not only their access passes but also their event tickets. Suddenly, you find yourself envying their convenience and wishing you had thought of that. Well, fret no more! Promotional lanyards can double up as stylish ticket holders, allowing your guests to keep their tickets safe and easily accessible throughout the event. No more fumbling through bags or pockets in search of that elusive piece of paper while missing out on your favourite band's performance. With lanyard ticket holders, your attendees can dance, clap, and sing along without worrying about their precious tickets.

Curiosity gets the better of you, you plug the USB into your computer, only to find an exclusive digital comic waiting for you. Mind blown! Promotional lanyards can be supercharged with additional elements like USB drives, keychains, or even interactive QR codes, transforming them into access pass holders that offer more than just access.

Get creative and choose eye-catching designs that reflect the spirit of your event. Add colours, patterns, and even witty phrases that resonate with your target audience. By turning your lanyards into unique branding elements, you're not only providing a functional accessory, but you're also leaving your mark long after the event is over.
