Back to Basics
WHAT'S NEW
Now that lanyards are becoming commonplace accessories, those in the business of manufacturing them are starting to get creative. Case in point, Fields Manufacturing, St. Cloud, Minn., has taken the concept of lanyard-as-accessory to a higher level. Recently the company introduced a beaded lanyard that will keep even the most fanatical fashionista feeling stylish. The lanyard features iridescent composite beads, designed as a necklace/lanyard alternative to the standard lanyard fare. Susan Tobias, MAS, senior vice president of sales for Fields Manufacturing, expressed that distributors need to be fearless in presenting new ideas to their clients. "Don't be afraid to offer different suggestions or take the customer to the next level in a lanyard," she said. "There are so many different materials to choose from."
