I'll Never Remember Your Name, but Don't Be Offended

Hello, I’m Karen. And you are? I don’t know about you, but I am not good with names. Oh sure, I’m great with the people I’ve worked with, been friends with for years, and am related to. But if I meet you at a party or another gathering, don’t be offended if I can’t remember your name. I’m so busy talking with you and learning about you that I forget the thing that is probably most important in your life. That’s why I’m a big fan of the lanyard. I know, I know. The lanyard isn’t the actual name tag, but it holds the name tag in a cool spot – much better than those ridiculous peel-and-toss “My Name Is” tags that everyone sticks on their chests to the right of the heart. And at Gimmees, we offer variety to fit your needs like the ½ inch breakaway lanyard or the ½ inch lanyard with key ring. So, the next time you are traveling the tradeshow circuit, make sure you have your badge and lanyard visible. I might just step up to your table to say hello, but don’t expect me to remember your name – you know I’m not good with those things!
