Badges with catchy sayings will cause people to be curious about your business and ask you what the badge means. A question on the badge is even more effective than just a statement because people will come to you with an answer or comment. You're going to go to the store, volunteering at school, taking a walk with your family, and doing other everyday activities anyway, so you might as well give your business some fun, easy, and profitable exposure at the same time. You never know who has been looking for you and your product. The Booster has a great selection at inexpensive prices.
Badge with your company name on it. If your company provides you with a name tag/badge, wear it! This is a great attention getter! When you're walking down the aisles of a store, aren't you attracted to people with name tags? Why? Because those people stand out from the rest. You have a great product/service/business, you deserve to stand apart from the crowd as well. As you approach this person with the name tag, you probably think they work at that store. As you get closer, you notice the name tag is not what the store employees are wearing. So, you look even closer, right? This is human nature. Always wear this when you're out and about and look dressed to do business. A word of caution: don't wear your company badge if you're not dressed for business because first impressions are lasting; you'll give the wrong impression of your normally-professional image. Combining your company badge with a creative badge also works well.

One thing someone once told me Karen, don't know if it works or not, is that if you occasionally wear your badge upsidedown, someone will tell you, a great conversation starter. I wouldn't do this all the time tho as like Karen said "first impressions are lasting".

I don't have any booster badges, but I can definately voucher for wearing your business name badge.
Just this weekend, I was standing in line for a quick coffee at McDonalds before a party and I had a lady ask me for a catalogue as she'd been looking for a consultant and noticed my name badge!
