In the retail world, hang tags<\/a> are a marketing staple that when used correctly can help increase sales. While the Internet has brought marketing into the digital age, printed materials are still tangible items consumers look for while browsing in a retail environment. They not only impart important information about specific products, but they also promote your brand. Detailed hang tags that represent your brand\u2019s message is vital to product merchandising and should fuse cohesively with your marketing plan.<\/p>\n

What Is a Hang Tag?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

In the simplest terms, hang tags are labels store owners attach to pieces of merchandise to include a variety of information, like the name of the designer or manufacturer, care instructions or the fabric or material used for an item. Hang tags aren\u2019t just plain, boring tags hanging from a product providing the sales price; they can convey the very essence of your business. Strategically placed tags with relevant information can encourage a shopper who\u2019s unsure about a particular item to make the purchase. Well-designed, custom hang tags should stand out on your products and attract as well as inform your customers.<\/p>\n

Branding Design<\/strong><\/h2>\n

While you may feel hang tags aren\u2019t important to your business, they\u2019re an industry standard that many customers expect to find on products. Hang tags can say a lot about your brand<\/a> and greatly influence your customer\u2019s purchasing decisions. If your tags seem cheap, this may inadvertently convey to customers that your products are substandard and your brand image could be ruined. Superior marketing hinges on a design that differentiates your brand from other similar brands on the market.<\/p>\n

It can be challenging to design a perfectly branded hang tag (conveying brand colors, uniquely die cut shapes<\/a>, etc.)and you\u2019ll most likely try several different versions before you find the one most appropriate for your market. For example, while mobile phone readable bar codes called Quick Response (QR) codes have become increasingly popular, your customers may not relate to this element. The different elements you incorporate into your tags must appeal to your average customer.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Conveying Information Your Consumers Want<\/strong><\/h2>\n

While you don\u2019t want them overwhelmed with information overload, you do want to tantalize them with enough information to stimulate them into purchasing your products. Custom hang tags allow you to add critical and creative information to a product such as:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Care and pricing information to make your brand feel more transparent.<\/li>\n
  2. Background information about your brand to get your customer\u2019s personally invested in your unique story and products.<\/li>\n
  3. A materials list, especially if you use eco-friendly materials that appeal to environmentally conscious shoppers.<\/li>\n
  4. Background information on a product\u2019s origins, especially locally made items for consumers who enjoy supporting their community.<\/li>\n
  5. One-of-kind details for unique items for those who don\u2019t want mass-produced merchandise.<\/li>\n
  6. Promotional data to plug your brand\u2019s website and\/or social media channels.<\/li>\n
  7. Distinctive logos that make your products stand out and help customers immediately identify your brand.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    These and other details can help your hang tags make a lasting impression on your customers. If you market your products to other retailers, hang tags help your brand stand out when combined with a sea of similar products on crowded retail racks. While promoting your brand on hang tags can be an unexpected challenge, getting the details right grabs potential customers\u2019 attention and positively impacts your bottom line.<\/p>\n
