    How Custom Lapel Pins and Keychains Can Help Spread Awareness and Some Joy

    COVID Got You Down?

    I think we can all agree that 2020 is cancelled. This year is definitely not turning out to be like we may have all thought it would, and we are all collectively feeling a certain level of stress and/or anxiety, more so than usual for some. One thing that has been increasingly popular, though, and driving different levels of interest, is folks sporting custom made lapel pins, or keychains, even tote bags with a wide range of messages and artwork, either for fun, or to support a local or national charity, the latter of which becoming more common lately.

    Spark a Different Kind of Joy

    Aimed at spreading awareness (and perhaps some joy), there seems to be a trend amongst various charitable organizations to create and sell fun items such as lapel pins, keychains, etc. Not to mention the pieces often are whimsical, and just overall joyful looking pieces to wear or use. Custom lapel pins and keychains are also a great incentive for individuals who wish to make a donation to your organization, and perhaps bring a smile to their face. They are also great conversations starters!

    Fundraising and Community Engagement with Custom Products

    Fundraising can certainly be tricky, particularly getting people to interact and support your charity, and getting those who are passionate about your cause to stay engaged. GoFundMe’s and fundraising in general for a wide range of organizations has increased drastically over the last few months, with no sign of stopping. And one of the best ways to increase awareness of a particular cause is to create and sell fun products, such as lapel pins, keychains, bottle openers, and many other items to engage people in supporting your cause and spreading your unique message. Custom lapel pins are also very cost-effective, which is important when you want to allocate most of your funds to the more important, pressing aspects of your organization. It is a great way to spread your message, and more importantly, to continue garnering funds for your organization, so you can keep giving back to your community.

    Looking to Create Your Own Fundraising Product?

  • Celebrate The New Year With Custom Made Year Keychains

    Things are winding down in 2018 and we're looking forward to all of the opportunities in the new year. Sure the days march on in endless succession ambivalent toward our structures of measurement, but flipping over the calendar makes it feel like we get a fresh start to accomplish our goals and chase our dreams. So what are your hopes and dreams for 2019?

    Before we turn the page, though, let's take a moment to look at the big keychain stories of 2018.

    Prada Discontinues "Blackface" Keychains

    In most recent keychains news, fashion house Prada is under scrutiny for their recent "Pradamalia" collection of imagined animal figurine keychains. The keychain in question--which is supposed to represent a monkey--actually bears a striking resemblance to old blackface caricatures like Little Sambo. After the outcry on social media regarding the racist connotations of the keychain, Prada has pulled the item from their stores and issued an apology.  The keychain originally had a retail price of $550.

    Kitty Cat Brass Knuckle Keychains Stir Up Trouble

    Another controversial keychain in the past year are the kitty cat self-defense keychains. Designed to look like a cute little cat face the keychains are technically classified as brass knuckles--which is an illegal weapon in many states like Texas and Missouri. Having this self-defense cat on your keychain could result in jail time or fines. Alternately, many people argued the classification of these keychains and whether or not they were actually legal to carry. What do you think?

    Funko Releases Fortnite Keychains

    The pop culture toy brand Funko has released a set of keychains and figurines based on the popular video game Fortnite. Why is Fortnite so popular? The free-to-play online shooter is a hit with the kiddos and has inspired the entire world to go insane and mimic the dances portrayed in the game. Now you can bring that energy into your pocket with a Fortnite Keychain. #blessed

    Mary Poppins Is Back

    The famous magical Disney nanny is returning to the silver screen this winter in the reboot "Mary Poppins Returns" movie. In addition to her flying umbrella and carpet bag of tricks, she's bringing the merch. Now you can get your hands on whimsical keychains and other swag inspired by the movie. Maybe you aren't a movie studio, but did you know that we can make custom swag for your promotions?

    The Class Year Keychain

    Speaking of years and yearly events, check out this very related keychain. We call it our Class Year keychain because it is popular with schools and graduation events each year. Really, though, you can use it for any purpose in which you would like to prominently showcase the year. It includes a medallion that can be customized with your unique message--like the name of your institution or a simple "Congrats!" The message is cast into the metal which results in a high quality and permanent imprint. Change the plating metal and choose your color fills to match school colors.

    New Year, New You! If you can dream it you can achieve it!
