2019 is coming to a close and the New Year is just around the corner. As January hits and you start thinking about the year ahead, why not consider an oldie but a goodie for your promotional product needs? Coffee mugs, pens, and ball caps are fine but consider them like the side dishes of a great meal. Somewhat flavorful, not always fulfilling. Everyone wants to talk about the entree though. So let's focus on that...the standard pinback button! Of course this is the business we're in and we have an enthusiasm for them that goes beyond what some would almost describe as "wacky" but we truly feel that our passion is warranted. So we wanted to put together a short list as to why the pinback button should be your go-to for a wide variety of business and individual reasons in the immediate future and beyond.

• Pinback buttons have history! They carry with them a long standing reputation as simple but incredibly effective. Politicians have been using them for campaign promotion since the late 1800's/early 1900's. Wear this button on your front chest so everyone can see it and "Vote For Me"! It worked. Still does.
• Pinback buttons are simple! Nothing gimmicky. Nothing over the top that requires a PHD to figure out how to use or share with others. Unlatch the pin in the back, stick it through your article of clothing or accesory and you're good to go. Quick and easy! Who has the time to put things together? Let us do the hard part!
• Pinback buttons come in different shapes and sizes! Wacky Buttons focuses on the 2 most popular shapes, circle and square, with a variety of sizes for both products. The flexibility here allows you, the artist, to take advantage of the given area to design something that will undoubtedly be seen. Your creation will be at the forefront. 
• Pinback buttons are personal and endearing. They're memorable. Although you may not wear them 365 days a year, you might expect a smile to hit your face or sadly a tear to roll down your cheek, when you come across those buttons you had done for your college grad party or your grandfather's funeral. They really are timeless.
• Pinback buttons are incredibly cost effective! Quantity, shape, and size will all be factors into the final price but compared to other popular promotional products out there, you are really getting your money's worth. They can also be manufactured and shipped quite fast. Don't drag your feet when promotional planning but if you do, you'll more than likely still get your buttons in time for the big event! 

There are certainly more reasons and advantages as to why the Pinback Button should be at the top of your promo needs list but these are the ones that we've been highlighting for over 16 years now! That's how long Wacky Buttons has been making quality, custom buttons for the masses. Any questions or want to check us out further, just head to the website for more information. We look forward to seeing your button designs in 2020!

Next Up...if the pinback button just isn't sticking with you then we do have some exciting new options. We'll dig into them more in our next blog as the new year hits!

Graphic Design Tips & Tools

Isn't that what the song says? Well either way we are rewriting it to show off our new 2" round LED Light Up buttons. The whole graphic gets lit so you can easily see it in the dark. The switch on the back controls three different blink settings: fast flash, slow blink, and steady light. There is a pin on the back that lets you easily attach the button to shirts, bags, hats, and more. You can print a full color image on the front so you can design pretty much anything without restriction. Customize the buttons with your company logo and impact customers at the next trade show. Use them for your next big party or parade to stand out in the crowd. These buttons are an awesome promotional solution for night time and dark indoor events. 

We wanted to do something a little different. Step outside the box with this product. These are fun, eye-catching, and unique certainly.

Memorial services, charitable fundraisers, business branding, etc...We will do buttons for any occasion, any event, or for any business to help you market yourself creatively. However, there are some button orders that roll in consistently, year after year without fail, that might take the cake as far as popularity goes. Yep, you guessed it...those "in-your-face" campaign buttons that show off the unblemished exteriors of each candidate and scream "Vote For Me"! Democrat? Republican? Doesn't matter! What's the story on these buttons and the reason for their longevity? Click the above link for a short little read on the history of political buttons and how they've played a part in campaigns for well over 100 years.

Go big or go home....isn't that the expression? How about we just go a little bigger? Up a half an inch from the 1.5 (which we still have available), the new 2 inch square button gives you that extra room for larger images and text. The 2inch square is about the size of a package of moist towlettes if you're comparing to a household object.
