The University of Florida and Shands Hospital Create Custom Awareness Ribbon Lapel Pins

Written by All About Pins | Dec 14, 2010 5:00:00 AM
A partnership between two organizations doubles the success rate of an event.  For example, Shands Hospital, one of the Southeast’s premiere health systems partnered up with the University of Florida (UF) to demonstrate new medical procedures and to give insight as to how it trains new doctors and nurses.   The healthcare facility has over 11,000 employees and 2,000 volunteers in total.  Of the 49,000 students attending college in Gainesville, UF has over 6,000 members of its student body working at Shands or one of its sister facilities. The two groups decided it would be in their best interest to order custom awareness ribbon lapel pins from All About Pins as a way of announcing their partnership and to gain interest and support from the community.  Our products are great for this reason because they can be worn in a visible location like a lanyard or lab coat and are small enough to carry to job fairs and conferences where they can be handed out as to attendees. Delivering a Message For Your Cause Awareness ribbon lapel pins are an effective way to get the message out about your cause.  They are visually attractive and can be created in a number of different styles.  For example, we sell cloisonné, soft enamel, die struck, photographic, and silk screened lapel pins on our website.  Each has its own distinct look and list of advantages. Soft enamel and cloisonné tend to be our most popular sellers.  Custom lapel pins in all shapes, sizes, colors, and styles make great giveaway items for students, hospital staff, volunteers, and donors.  That is one of the reasons why the customer chose them over other types of promotional products.  Awareness ribbon lapel pins have the ability to educate, motivate, and reward individuals and groups of people. Picture Perfect Pins to Announce a Partnership In the case of Shands Hospital and the University of Florida, they opted for a photographic ribbon lapel pin because they wanted an exact replica of their artwork.  Offset printing offers our customers flexibility in design and style. Because photographic lapel pins incorporate the use of offset and laser printing techniques, the most detailed drop shadows, gradients, and text can be brought out with brilliant color and clarity. A clear epoxy coating finishes it off and keeps the ribbon pins from being scratched and damaged. The gold plated, pastel colored lapel pins that we created for the customer have the words “UF & Shands” printed on them.  It doesn’t take much to see that the two groups have a relationship and commitment to one another.  Anyone familiar with the hospital or university knows that Shands HealthCare is affiliated with the University of Florida’s Health Science Center.
