For High School students, no event except for Graduation elicits as much excitement as Prom.  From the amazing dresses to the elaborate decor, ordinary students are transformed into members of royalty for one evening of their lives.

Schools looking to do their part to make the event a memorable experience often turn to custom lapel pins to help set the tone.  An incredibly effective way to advertise an event or mark an important milestone, the small pieces of memorabilia can be handed out before or after the big dance depending on the nature of the lapel pin's design.

Ways to Use Custom Lapel Pins to Advertise Prom

As a promotional tool, custom lapel pins can be given out with tickets to Prom.  Students then have a small keepsake in their possession that they can use to encourage their friends to purchase tickets too.  Incredibly receptive to what their peers are doing, the average teenager needs little "prodding "to help them make a decision.

Custom lapel pins are a hip, functional way to get the word out about an event.  Combined with a school's colors, logo, or mascot, they give details about a person's history by marking an important date in their life.  They can also be used to recognize Prom Kings and Queens, members of the royal court, chaperones, and Prom Committee participants.

Types of Options Available for Custom Lapel Pin Orders

A number of options exist that can help set a school's custom lapel pins apart.  In addition to numerous styles, colors, and sizes to choose from, Prom pins can be soft enamel or cloisonné.  They can have glittery accents or symbols dangling from them.  They can light up, spin, or slide.  Whatever vision a person has for the perfect custom lapel pin, Lapel Pins R Us' team of talented designers can make it a reality.  With a no obligation free quote, schools can feel confident that they are making the right decision by ordering from us.
