Pride lanyards have a multitude of uses. Lanyards can be branded with the event logo and handed out to staff as identification for access to specific areas of the event, or to highlight staff to attendees for help or support during the event. Lanyards can also be provided as part of the ticket purchase, where applicable, giving attendees a convenient way of always carrying their ticket with them. Combined with an ID holder, tickets can provide access to different features of the event depending on the price paid, age of the attendee or other requirements helping to aid event security.
Marketing of pride events is often done in city and town centres in the weeks preceding the event; lanyards and other pride merchandise can be helpful with this. There are also several fully customisable wristbands available that can be used for marketing. Lanyards and wristbands printed with the event logo can be handed out as a freebie or even sold before as well as during the event. Benefits of using customised event merchandise is that people will use the product after the event. Wristbands are often worn to signify support for Pride, and lanyards are used at schools, colleges, universities, and workplaces throughout the country, meaning ongoing recognition for the event assisting with the following years marketing campaign.

community during Pride month and throughout the year. Organisations as big as the NHS to small independent retailers mark the event in their own ways. We supply flat polyester lanyards in rainbow fabric as one of our standard options. The colourful rainbow has become synonymous with Pride events, and wearing a rainbow, particularly during June, but year-round, highlights support for LGBTQ+ people.
Rainbow lanyards can be supplied with or without customisation. Printing your organisations logo onto rainbow lanyards and handing them out to students, staff and visitors promotes inclusivity and helps to reinforce the ethos of acceptance, as well as providing an opportunity to open the conversation about LGBTQ+ issues raising awareness and support.
