I completley relate Global Patriot! In the past I have had a hard time remembering names! I am not perfect yet but it’s getting better!

Sugar Jones! You have to wear a badge with a name like that!

Too funny Carrie! I always have someone else write my name so people can read it!

Don’t you love it when light bulbs go off Laura? Glad the post helped!

Thank you for commenting!!!

I love name badges… after a LLOOONNNGGGG day it is nice to look down and know who I am, then I can google myself and find out where to drive home to! Seriously, I love name badges to give others I’ve previously met a heads up as to how they know me. Better chance of making connections when others feel comfortable. As for me, I love when others print their names neatly and in large font!

I beg to differ.

Actually, without my trademark hat, I am nothing… better where my badge!

I’m a big fan of name badges, as I often remember faces better than names. They also work as a great reinforcement tool. As Alan mentions above, seeing the name during your introduction and handshake is beneficial and helps foster conversation.

But I still remember the time I wore a silk shirt and leather jacket to an outdoor networking event. The fine print on the label said, “Do not apply to silk or leather.” WTF
