Video transcript

  1. 0:00A good pin idea is four decisions, not just artwork.
  2. 0:05First, the message. Give each pin one job, in one sentence. If that sentence needs the word 'and,' you probably need two pins.
  3. 0:17Second, the earning rule. Decide who qualifies and how it's presented. Earned pins handed over in front of colleagues carry weight; giveaways need a limit per person.
  4. 0:29Third, the wear context. A daily work jacket and a one-weekend lanyard ask very different things of a pin, so tell your supplier which one you're ordering.
  5. 0:41Fourth, series logic. Keep one base design and change one element, like a color band or date bar. New tiers become a small change, not a redesign. Settle all four before you request a quote.
  6. 0:55Send your program brief, quantities and target date.
