A few months back, we had the chance to make custom button packs for The Strokes. These particular button packs were our 6×1.25” custom button packs.

As shown above, each custom 1.25″ button is securely fastened to each hanger card.

Shown above is a close-up of each custom button pack.

Note that each button is securely fastened to our custom die cut hanger cards.

We recently had the pleasure of making custom button packs for Foster the People. For those of you who don’t know who Foster the People are, they are an indie pop band from Los Angeles, California. The lead singer, Mark Foster, had originally named the band Foster & the People. However, many fans misheard it for “Foster the People”, which the band ended up taking a liking to and the name stuck.

Their custom button packs consist of our high quality cardstock, measuring in at 3.75”x6”. Each button pack has four 1.25” buttons that are very unique. Pictures of their button packs can be seen below.

Foster the People recently released their first studio album, Torches, on May 23^rd of this year. Be sure to check out their website and give them a listen!

When the economy is having difficulties, many things change.  Some recent examples of businesses changing to stay competitive is Ford, announcing that they will produce less trucks and SUVs to manufacture more small cars.  In marketing and advertising, for example, you see PPC campaigns taking a hit.  Google and Yahoo both failed to meet investor expectations and their stocks went down. Buttons, however, have grown exponentially during this state of the economy.  As a company, we have noticed a lot of companies, big and small, placing more and larger orders for buttons.  Interestingly enough, we have seen a dramatic growth in inquiries from marketing and merchandising companies interested in promotional buttons and advertising buttons. Record labels, as well, seem to be placing larger orders for band buttons. Campaign buttons are also extremely popular this time of year.

To confirm this theory, we were talking with our parts supplier, and they have also experienced enormous growth.  What does all this mean?  In a state of economic uncertainty, companies and record labels look for a cheaper, more effective way to promote or advertise. Another reason, is companies want to conserve as much as possible to stay competitive, in case of continued economic uncertainty.

Lessons to take away from this period in time.  Buttons are the cheapest and most effective form of advertising.  Band buttons are the best selling band merchandise. More people are willing to pay $5 for some band buttons than $25 for a t-shirt.  Even better, for bands, band button packs.  Also, button packs are great tools for a promotional.
