Let's start off by looking at what a lanyard is; firstly they are just a simple band or ribbon of material that is stitched together at one end to create a loop.

Provide an incentive to attendYou've seen this method a hundred times or more - because it works! A little extra gift (or chance at winning a fabulous prize) can nudge someone who is on the fence about whether or not to attend your event. Incentives don't have to cost a bundle; in many cases, you can partner with another local business or professional (spa, salon, massage therapist, hardware store, etc.) to negotiate a lower rate or discount on your purchase of a gift certificate, since the business or professional will get some free publicity in exchange for their participation or donation. It helps if the incentive is relevant or appealing to your target audience (e.g., a home improvement center gift card for people who are coming to your workshop to learn how to install their own sprinkler system).Alternatively, instead of providing an incentive to every person who attends, you could invest in just one grand prize and each person who attends the workshop gets entered into a drawing to...more
