Identification of Members (How can I do this).

[NikGrey]

I am involved with Hospital Radio and due to lots of red tape and various other restrictions we cant really get any advertising out to our patients in order to let them know who we are.

We need to find an inexpensive was of having some sort of branding/message on our Ward visitors so the patients know who we are before we actually get to their bed sides !

I considered Sahses but after a recent committee meeting they were deemed too 'Feminine' !

I was wondering if anybody had any ideas ? I have out forward Tabbards and Sashes so far.

The problem is.. everybody assumes we are trying to sell something so are all ready to say 'No' to anything we say - this makes it really difficult to collect requests, no requests = no Request Show
Our station has been running since 1974 and they still haven't come up with a solution to this - I'm hoping to come up with one.

I have no problem with the 'Message' - it's just what to put this message on

Why not just go with the obvious t-shirt or hoodie option? Hospital Radio DJ plastered all over it shouldn't frighten them into an early grave As long as you stay away from shell suits like Mr Saville used to wear you will be fine.

What about sign written high viz coats with a transparent patch so the patients can write their requests on in chinagraph pencil.

is there a tag or something that you could put around the headphones ?? could you have the details over printed ontop of the daily menu sheets that are left with patients ?? small window stickers ?? or a nice sticker printed on medical grade material on the inner door of each of the bedside cabinets
