5 Ways to Wow People Who Wear Nametags
People wear nametags more often than you think. The majority of retail establishments, stores and other social gatherings require nametags for several purposes. Sometimes it's for security. Other nametags are solely for identification. But simply stated; people wear nametags for one reason: so other people can use their names for friendlier, more personable service and conversation. However, too many nametags go unnoticed. Too many people (especially employees) offer their names only to be referred to as, "Sir" or "Miss" or "Young Man." Guess what? They don't wear nametags to make a fashion statement. They wear them for you! The following list gives five of the most common employees or people who wear nametags, and ways you can "wow" them if you identify and amplify their names: Cashiers/Clerks Food Servers Networking Meetings Casinos Worship Members REMEMBER: A person's name is the sweetest sound they will hear in any language. When you use their names, you will make them feel appreciated, welcome and important. Maybe it's printed on a plastic clip. Maybe it's written on a paper nametag. Even if it hangs from a lanyard, stares you in the face, look at it, and SAY IT! Step onto their front porch, and WOW them! © 2005 All Rights Reserved.
