The art of the introduction using Avery name badge labels

Introductions are among the most important ways to make connections personally and professionally. Whether you barely must out an "um...hey" or go in for the kill with a double-handed bear claw handshake, it's important to master the art of the introduction.

What can help ease the burden for the less gregarious type? Name badge labels.

P.S. We're label lovers, so when we can't find something we love, we send out an S.O.S to our other label loving friends. Where can we find some Avery 2947 fold and clip photo ID badges or Avery 2951 one-step lamination photo badges?

If you're at a conference and need to drum up a conversation, take a peek at the other person's name tag. A) you already know his or her name B) It might include their company and job title C) it might even say where they're from.

Veterinarian Time-Saver: Exam Checklists

We love veterinarians. It's because they care for the animals we love as if the dog, cat, gerbil or horse were their own.

For all that they do, vets deserve quality tools to help them do their job well and provide quality care for as many animals as possible.

That's why we're highlighting our veterinary exam checklist labels.

It's simple, really. The labels come pre-printed with 12 key areas of observation: general appearance, attitude, oral cavity, MM, eyes, ears, cardiovascular, respiratory, abdomen, neuro/musculoskeletal, PLNs and skin.

Veterinarians record their observations during the animal exam, peel off the label and stick it permanently on records and documents.

Labels for your life: Top three ways to use labels this summer

Summer = finding ways to entertain the kids. This often means toting the little ones to and from summer camps and play groups and even part time jobs for the older kids. With all of that activity, you need a way to stay organized and sane. Organizing with labels can help.

• Iron-on tapes are perfect for uniforms, sports bags, rain coats -- pretty much anything your child will take to a camp. It will help you keep tabs on all their stuff since you know how easily it can all get lost.

• Have a child moving to college? Removable labels will save you trouble identifying what's stuffed in all of those storage containers. When you're through moving in, just take the labels off.

• Summer is often time for yard sales. Sell your items like a pro by using price tag labels.

Smart marketers use stickers...if they want free advertising

I read Andy Sernovitz's marketing blog this morning, and saw his post about using stickers to create a buzz. It reminded me that small businesses often overlook a relatively cheap and simple way to get free advertising.

In Andy's post he talks about visiting a Chicago street fair where people were walking around with "corn maze" stickers on their shirts. Sure enough, the hundreds of fair-goers who made it through the maze ended up becoming walking bill boards for the attraction.

If you think about it, stickers have been used for a long time to show political allegiance (and the fact that you voted). They're highly visible and get people talking.

So, how can you use this custom sticker idea and tailor it for your own business?

• Hand out stickers at trade shows
• Put some in goody bags at demos
• Hand them out at charity events in which you are a vendor
• Go a step further and make decals that loyal customers can showcase on their cars
• Craft a creative message
