What information is necessary on plastic key tags?

Key tags can easily be transferred from place to place as they are attached to your key ring. This means they will exposed in different places to many different people. In order to benefit from your marketing efforts, your customers need to recognize your branding and be able to contact you making it essential to include your logo and contact information on your promotional key tags.

If you plan to use your custom key tags for a membership, loyalty or reward program you need to add a barcode or punch slots. Barcodes are a great tool for tracking purchases, recording member visits and giving away rewards. Not all point of sale systems offer loyalty or rewards card tracking. One way to still provide that service to your clients is with punch cards. With each visit or a certain dollar amount, you can use a punch to track their points.

Combo cards and snap offs include multiple key tags and cards to give your clients the option to share their rewards, membership or benefits with their family and friends. In addition to the logo, contact information and barcode you have the option to add a signature panel to ensure your members know the rules or guidelines surrounding your program.
