What if you had the opportunity to get your company name and logo in front of hundreds of people every day while spending about the equivalent of the cost of an ID card? Would you do it?
There are a lot of companies that don’t understand ID cards can be used for multiple purposes – far beyond just visual identification, security, or access control.
More and more, organizations are incorporating the concept of ID cards into their marketing and brand strategy. Adding the element of corporate identity into a credential program can actually be a valid and lucrative method for increasing brand awareness and recognition.
People wear their badges in public all the time:
- grabbing lunch with a co-worker or client
- commuting to and from work
- attending a conference or seminar
- even picking up groceries on the way home from work
Because people are more mobile now than ever before, more businesses are seeing the value in using ID cards as marketing vehicles and taking advantage of the benefits it has to offer.
If you’re asking yourself, “What can I do to take advantage of this trend? And how can I leverage our company’s ID cards as a marketing and branding tool?” Well, it’s quite simple, really.
