Keep the Group Together with Identification
Wristbands

Article: Group Identification/Group Day Trips
Whether
it’s a group of adults or young students who are out and about on a day trip, identification
wristbands are an economical way to keep track of everyone. Safety is a big
concern—no matter what the size or age of a group. Durable and tear-resistant,
group identification wristbands are ideal for group day trips. Group
identification wristbands provide quick and easy identification of everyone in
a group.
Popular
day trips for student might include the zoo, a museum, skating rink, or local
historical site. For adults, it could be a group tour of a brewery, museum,
sports venue, or another local tourist site. Whatever the case, group identification
wristbands assist in the prevention of losing one another in a large crowd.
When
it comes to group day trips that involve kids, the adults responsible for their
safety have one goal: do not lose anyone! Any venue that the group is attending
has a similar goal: keep the children safe. Group identification wristbands
have pre-printed lines where you can use a permanent marker to write the
child's name, along with the chaperone's name and cell custom wristbands phone number. Wristbands can be turned inside
out as an added measure of safety so that strangers are not able to see the
child's name by glancing at his or her wrist. The emergency contact information
is only exposed when the child reaches out to an authority figure and asks for
help.
If
a child does become separated from their group, they can approach an authority
figure for help. With a chaperone’s phone number printed on the identification
wristband, the authority figure can call it immediately to notify the contact of
the lost child. Chaperones should have their cell phones with them and the
ringer turned on at all times to ensure that a lost child can be quickly and
safely reunited with the group.
For
adult group day trips, there should be designated leaders who have cell phones
with them and the ringer turned on at all times. It’s a good idea to print the
leader’s cell phone number directly on the group identification wristband. If
anyone loses track of the group, they can simply look at their wrist, dial the
number and find the group—fast! If the group trip is a guided tour that is on a
tight schedule, this little hiccup won't eat up too much time.
As
important as safety and security both are during group day trips, group
identification wristbands have an additional benefit. Custom printing makes
identification wristbands a powerful marketing tool.
You
can customize group identification wristbands by imprinting logos or fun
designs. Whether you want to promote a venue, charity, group or club, or another
business, imprinting lends itself to effective word-of-mouth advertising. People
tend to wear group identification wristbands for several days after the day
trip is over. They want to hold onto the memories of a good time! Some people
will wear their group identification wristbands for weeks or months afterward.
It practically becomes a moving mini billboard with a live spokesperson. With
an eye-catching color and a cool logo imprinted on it, group identification
wristbands are a conversation starter. The person adorning the group
identification wristband will share positive, fun stories about their
experience—a live testimonial!
Group
identification wristbands can also be used to promote sales after the day trip
is over. Custom messages encouraging return trips to the venue or visits to the
websites or stores of any business sponsors can be printed directly on the
wristband. As an example, maybe the Museum of Natural Science wants to
encourage all the kids to bring their families to a new exhibit opening next
month. The group identification wristband can be turned into a coupon by imprinting
a something like, “buy 3 MoNS tickets, get 1 free". Or, if a group of
adults went on a group brewery tour, "show us your wristband, get a free pint
with dinner” could be imprinted. Not only is the company being promoted, but
also you are motivating group participants to take action and spend money.
Another
effective way to get people to take action is to imprinting quick response (QR)
codes directly on group identification wristbands. QR codes imprinted on group
identification wristbands can be used to offer almost anything from discounted
tickets for upcoming events to buy-one-get-one-free lunches.
Keep
everyone together with group identification wristbands. And, why not get a
little marketing accomplished while you’re at it?
