Trading Pin Tip of the Week: Go Big and Go Creative with Your Trading Pins This Year
Posted by Lapel Pins Plus | Thursday April 26th, 2012 | Topic: Lapel Pins
Youth softball and baseball is heating up all across the U.S. T-ballers to teenagers are in full swing of their seasons with their eyes on post season tournaments. A few fortunate teams get to go to Cooperstown for a national tournament, but the majority of other teams will travel to other closer destinations for their tournaments.
No matter where your tournament is, trading pin “rules” will apply. We are here to help you design the best pin possible that will trade better than all of the others. Our years of experience designing custom trading pins helps us figure out what works and what doesn’t in regards to design.
Today, let’s look at the attached trading pin and see what made this such a successful pin.
Large Size
This is a 2” pin. The bigger pin, the higher perceived value the pin has. 1.5” is the smallest you would want to go and we have done pins as big as 2.5” to 3”.
Glitter Paint
Glitter paint. Adding glitter to any pin instantly takes a normal pin to an outstanding pin. Try to incorporate glitter whenever possible. It has great “bang for the buck”.
Black Metal Plating
The black metal plating of this pin is really cool too. Little leaguers all over like pins that are plated in black. They make the pin look tougher than most other pins.
Unique Shape and Design
Unique shapes and designs allow room for creativity. The interesting way this pin is cut out was a huge hit at the tournament.
Player Names and Numbers
Customizing the pin with your players’ numbers is a great way to differentiate your team from others. Personalized pins trade fast at tournaments. People love going home with a piece of memorabilia from their experience.
