Wristbands have long served a variety of practical functions, from allowing guests admittance at a VIP event to identifying patients in a hospital setting. However, you don't have to run a company or be an event planner to use wristbands; they can make private parties, school events and even family get-togethers memorable. All you need is a little creativity.

In today's world, there are many different methods of advertising and raising awareness. There’s the internet, billboard ads, TV ads, word-of-mouth promoting, handing out flyers, holding events, etc. A new and interesting method of raising awareness is emerging with the use of wristbands as a popular way to reach a wide and diverse market. Most of this is due to its convenient nature and extreme visibility. If someone’s got a colorful wristband on their hand, people are likely to see and notice it. The message to be advertised is printed on it, and almost everyone whom the person wearing it meets will see it; this is very different from adverts that have to be placed at strategic places to catch the eyes of the target market.
