What’s the point of name tags?
Name tags help customers feel more confident by showing who’s available to help. Businesses using employee badges saw a 12% boost in customer satisfaction. Clear identification builds trust and keeps service running smoothly.
Where should I place my name tag?
Wear your name tag on the upper right side of your chest. That’s where people naturally look during a handshake, making it easier to catch your name without breaking eye contact. Eye-tracking research shows name tags placed on the right are noticed more often than those on the left.
Should name tags have a title?
Whether to include a title on a name tag depends on the setting. In professional environments—like conferences, networking events, or customer-facing roles—a title can clarify someone’s role and make introductions easier. For casual gatherings, first names are usually enough. It’s always smart to consider your audience and the tone of the event.
