WHY USE CONFERENCE BADGE
See the difference for yourself
Two event managers. Same task. Completely different experiences. Scroll to see how Conference Badge changes everything.Anna needs to make 325 name badges
The vendor's meeting is just around the corner, registration is almost over and she needs professional name badges made.
Shelly needs to make 325 name badges
The supplier's meeting is just around the corner, registration is almost over and she needs professional name badges made.
"What's the best way?" she wonders
Bob from IT suggests doing a mail merge. Bob doesn't take the time to explain much, so she googles it.
She uploads her list to Conference Badge
She clicks "New Event from Excel", uploads the file with a single click and she's ready to start designing.
She looks for a mail merge tutorial
She finds one. It has many steps and a lot of room for error — creating tables, verifying merge fields, adjusting gridlines…
Shelly starts designing the badges
She adds full names, job titles, the company logo, attendee type and QR codes for lead retrieval. All in 10 minutes.
She places the order
In a couple of days she'll receive all her badges printed, stuffed and alphabetized — ready to hand out to attendees.
Shelly works on something else
With the badge situation solved in under 30 minutes, she can focus on other more important aspects of her event.
Anna cracked the mail merge code!
Almost two hours later she populated the Word tables with the Excel data. But wait — some names don't fit…
She fixes the problem
She has to go badge by badge to make sure the full name fits inside the table she created. All 325 of them.
Anna now needs Avery templates
She uses her lunch break to drive to Staples to get Avery badges. Hopefully not much traffic today.
She needs to adjust the templates
While eating a sandwich she prints a test and, to nobody's surprise, the badges don't align at all.
Anna ends up wasting 4 full sheets
She finally gets it aligning and starts printing. Let's just hope she bought enough Avery sheets.
She needs to work on other stuff
The day is coming to an end and Anna's already behind on the rest of the event's logistics. She'll resume badge making tomorrow.
She starts assembling the badges
With all 325 badges printed, she can start inserting sheets into plastic holders. That will take her… a while.
Anna is finally done
She finished assembling the badges. Let's hope they're still in alphabetical order and that no one is missing… oh poor Anna.
😔 Anna wasted time and money
She spent several hours on something that could have taken under 30 minutes. She also has no attendee types printed and no QR codes for lead retrieval.
🎉 We did the heavy lifting for Shelly
We printed her badges double-sided on high quality paper, inserted them into vinyl holders and sorted them alphabetically. Shipped via FedEx — on time and looking great, guaranteed.
