Tradeshow is a common place where you see people people walking around with a brightly coloured lanyards that bear a business name or logo on it.
  
  Other events where you can hand out logo branded lanyards to help promote your business are conferences, charity events, parties, etc.
  
  By giving customers and prospects lanyards with your company logo on it, your business gets plenty of brand exposure as people wear it while walking around. And since lanyards have practical uses, most people are likely to continue using it after the show or conference is over.
