Name Tags From Sea to Shining Sea

 

This week, I made the 3000 mile journey across country, moving from Rhode Island to California.  I am so excited to finally be working full time here in Southern California at Tag UR It! Inc. headquarters!  Tag Team President, Catheryn, flew out to the east coast to make the journey across country with me.  Along our way, we have seen parts of this beautiful country we may have never seen if not for this trip.  From the mountains, to the prairies, to the oceans white with foam…We have seen it all!  There is a Jason Aldean song called Fly Over States that perfectly describes the beauty of land we drove through. (Click here to listen: Fly Over States)

They’ve never drove through Indiana
Met the man who plowed that Earth
Planted that seed, busted his ass for you and me
Or caught a harvest moon in Kansas
They’d understand why God made those fly over states

I bet that mile haul in Santa Fe freight train engineer’s seen it all
Just like that flat bed cowboy stacking US steel on a three day haul
Roads and rails under their feet, yeah that sounds like a first class seat
On the plains of Oklahoma
With a windshield sunset in your eyes
Like a water-color painted sky
You’ll think heaven’s doors have opened
You’ll understand why God made those fly over states

Take a ride across the Badlands
Feel that freedom on your face
Breathe in all that open space
And meet a girl from Amarillo
You’ll understand why God made…
You might even wanna plant your stakes
In those fly over states

Leaving Rhode Island just in time to outrun the devastating Hurricane Sandy, we made our trip across country in 5 days, staying at hotels in PA, IL, NE, and CO.  Coming from Rhode Island and having family in Connecticut, many of my friends and family have felt the destruction of Sandy.  So many people are going to be rebuilding their lives from scratch having lost everything in this horrific storm.  Our thoughts are with those who have lost loved ones and the millions still without power.

Eating all of our meals out and staying in a variety of hotels, we noticed a vast selection of name tags worn by the friendly hotel and restaurant staff nationwide! Tag UR It! Inc. is proud to say that we carry every variety of name badge we saw throughout our 3000 mile trip! From plastic name tags, to unisub name tags, to beveled metal name tags, to engraved name plates… the variety is endless! Tag UR It! Inc. can create the perfect name tag for any company and seeing the many varieties all across the country inspires us to continue providing the best variety of name badges out there!

Check out some of our photos of the beautiful views from our trip!  I am so excited to be here in Southern California! Now that I am in the office full time, you will hear a lot more from me here on our blog! Stay tuned for some exciting new products and projects!!

Football season and the power of name recognition! Happy Patriots opening game!!

Today was the first game of the season for the New England Patriots!!  Now I will be the first to admit that I have always been a bandwagon football fan at best.  In previous seasons, it was only as the Pats neared the Super Bowl that I watched a game…and even then I didn’t really understand what I was watching! The half-time show has always been my favorite part of Super Bowl night!

But this is beginning to change!!! It is because of the Tag Team Prez, Catheryn, that I have a new love and appreciation of football!  Are you ready for a really good laugh?? Catheryn taught me the basic rules of football is terms she thought I would better understand!

I’m a bit of a girly girl, and believe it or not, I actually kind of got a grasp of the rules of football through this fabulous explanation!

Today, I was able to watch the entire Pats game, understand what was going on, and totally enjoy it!!!

While watching the game, I noticed how often the back of a player’s jersey was flashed across the screen for the viewers at home to easily see which player was just involved in a play.  It’s all about name recognition!  Players’ names are printed on the pack of their jersey.  Their name and number, along with team logo, become iconic through that jersey.  A name tag can work the same way!  You see, name recognition works the same way in any business setting! Name tags become the iconic symbol of many customer service based companies, making employees recognizable to customers upon first glance!  A player’s jersey is like their name tag! Players are motivated to do and be their best while they are wearing that jersey, on and off the field.  With new Tag UR It! Inc. name tags, your employee motivation will skyrocket! Each and every person on your staff will want to strive to do their best, proudly wearing a badge that gives them recognition by name as a member of your team!

  

I really enjoyed my relaxing Sunday on the couch watching the Pats’ first victory of the season! May there be may more victories to come!

Go Patriots!

But here is a little known fact about me, Sara, Tag UR It! Inc.’s Director of Sales and Marketing.   I LOVE cheesecake! When I realized that today was Nation Cheesecake Day, I couldn’t help but share a few of my favorite takes on cheesecake with the our wonderful blog readers!  Here are a few of my favorite variations of your classic cheesecake!

  • Cheesecake Stuffed Strawberries: What could be better than these little bites of heaven!! A fresh sweet strawberry is a delectable dessert all on its own, but adding a cheesecake filling and graham cracker crumble makes for an irresistible bite sized treat!

It will forever be my favorite dessert!

    A few years ago, I created my own little saying…. “It’s all good, like cheesecake”

    It will forever by my motto in life, because life sure is great, just like cheesecake!!

    Happy National Cheesecake Day everyone!

The Magnetic Law of Attraction: Why a magnetic name tag is right for your business!

The law of attraction is a pseudoscientific belief or theory, that “like attracts like,” and that by focusing on positive or negative thoughts, one can bring about positive or negative results.

The “Magnetic Law of Attraction” is a belief or theory, that “expensive clothing attracts magnetic name tags”, and that by focusing on using magnets instead of pins, one can never ruin one’s clothing.

Plastic Name Tags

Name tags are everywhere!  In our previous blog, “What’s in a Name”, we showed you how businesses in so many industries use name tags everyday.  There are many options out there, so let us help you decide which option is best for you.  Whether using a plastic, metal, or engraved name tag, using a magnetic backing is the way to go.  Imagine, you’re wearing your brand new silk top and are about to run into a meeting wearing your company name tag.  Not only will a magnetic attachment prevent pin holes and tears, your magnetic name tag couldn’t be easier to put on.  Just place your name tag over any kind of clothing and line up your backing under the fabric.  The magnets will do the rest of the work for you, keeping your name tag in place all day without doing any damage to the clothes you are wearing.   Magnetic backings also last much longer than traditional pin backings as they don’t bend out of place.  The choice should be clear for your business.  Let us help you find the a name tag that will be a great fit! Your Tag Team is always here to help!

Check out Tag UR It! Inc.’s selection of metal and plastic name tags today.  And be sure to select a magnetic backing when you check out!
