How To Look for a Personalized Name Plate

Appearance is everything when you're in business. Whether you're the supervising manager or the hands-on sales clerk, customers are often looking for the neat, friendly and approachable types. A name plate may help them open up and avoid that awkward pause during the introduction. If you're looking for a nice and affordable name plate, or even a classy gift item, here is a small list of some of the best (and cheapest) places to go:

• Nametag.com - This online company features personalized and/or pre-made name plates, ribbons, badge-holders, lanyards (or ID holders), desk plates and fasteners. Voted as "Utah's Best" from 2005 to 2008, this may be your best bet to have your nameplate made. Prices range from about $6 to $4 for each nameplate and it depends on what design you choose (with or without logo, with or without fasteners). The drawback is that you have to purchase a separate metallic fastener for each name plate. They have a sticker for quality, and the company also guarantees your money (or credit) back for every defective product they ship, that is, if you ordered pre-made products. The customized products have a no-refund policy. For more information, just check the FAQ section of the website.
• Limogesjewelry.com - Established in the 19th century, this company went online and proceeded to display numerous collections of jewelry that you can choose the design for yourself, including their customized name jewelry. Have your name engraved in a ring, your name in a bracelet, a name necklace or personalized necklaces and even name earrings. As gifts, you can choose jewelry to give to mothers, children and even men. Limoges jewelry also offers a hefty 70% discount on selected items. Its website offers you a chance to shop by price so you can skip viewing the jewelry beyond your budget as well as free personalization of the necklace of your choice (it's a good deal now, isn't it?).
• Everythingengravable.com - This company features more than just your ordinary gift shop as it features gifts for men, brides, grooms and children. You can have a bracelet, a pendant or a necklace, etc. engraved! Its gift shop is so extensive that it even has religious items, gifts to give to workmates, to graduating students, and to travelers. It is BBB business-accredited and may ship the items for free once the total price goes over $100. As if to solidify its claims as a gift shop, you may even have your items gift wrapped and sent. 

Now that you know how to find personalized name plates or gifts, start planning where you want to place your name plate in your office, or what upcoming celebration you'd like to give a personalized gift.
