Lapel pins are relatively low-cost promos, but that doesn't mean they can't look high-end. In fact, the lapel pins that garner the greatest impressions are jewelry-quality accessories with a retail-inspired look. How do you determine which pins are top quality?

Ask your supplier about their equipment and if they offer the latest technological advancements. For example, Creative House offers Imitation Cloisonne (Hard Enamel) pins that have high perceived value while still keeping costs low.

For even more ways to wow your clients with your lapel pins, take advantage of all the extra features Creative House can provide, such as adding synthetic stones, personalized engravings or presentation packages for a premium appearance that attracts attention.

How many times has this happened to you? Your client comes to you in a panic with a last-minute promo request, but your supplier simply can't meet the required lead times. This puts you in the awkward position of having to say, "No, I can't do that," even though you have no control over production.

When you partner with Creative House, declining rush orders will be a thing of the past. This supplier has three custom pin categories that ship in just 3 days: Quick Ship, Custom Wood and Custom Laser Etched. When you compare that to the standard 3- to 4-week turnarounds for imported products or traditional die-cast pins, switching suppliers becomes a no-brainer. Not only that, Creative House carries 1,500+ stock designs that can ship the very next day, perfect for those last-minute projects.

Everyone loves having options, including your clients. Having a selection of pin customization options not only gives your clients creative input, it also allows you to differentiate their lapel pin orders from the rest. Find out which kinds of special materials and finishes your supplier can provide to impress your clients with your creativity and out-of-the-box thinking.

Creative House lives up to their name, as they provide a wide variety of unique lapel pin options including six different base metals, wood options, 20+ different finishes, and multiple shapes and sizes. What's more, in addition to traditional enamel pins, Creative House offers unique materials and processes like laser etching and USA enamel.

One of the greatest selling points of lapel pins is their versatility. From awareness to anniversaries to organizational allegiance, lapel pins can do it all. Make sure your supplier can do it all too for the most simple, streamlined order process possible. Rather than starting every lapel pin from scratch, your supplier should have stock designs available for common client needs to speed up the process and save everyone time and money.

In Creative House's "In Stock" collection, you'll find 1,500+ designs encompassing over 50 popular categories, including:

For lapel pins to deliver impressions, they need to be worn often. If the products you sell fade or tarnish over time, you can bet they'll end up in the wastebin, not on recipients' bags or jackets. That's not only bad for your clients, it's bad for your business, as you can bet those clients won't be returning for repeat orders.

Lapel pins from Creative House will look as flawless on day one as they will on day 1,000 because this supplier's products resist tarnishing and fading. Looking for the most enduring pins possible? Opt for Cloisonne Hard Enamel, which is made with a copper base and ground glass pigment and baked at 1,800 degrees.
