Like every business during this pandemic, PinCentives has been challenging itself to think harder and more innovatively about how we design, produce and market our products. Here’s a recent success story: We have always made lanyards as an accessory for our pin collecting customers. A few weeks ago, frustrated with trying to keep my mask clean and in a convenient place, I started using a two-ended lanyard I had picked up at the Sochi Olympics. Some people saw it, we got to talking and creating, and ended up with an Adjustable Mask Lanyard with Dual Breakaway Safety Clips.

• It’s adjustable in size so it fits any person from a teacher to a small child
• It has two breakaway clips so if someone pulls on it or it gets tangled in something, it will break off instead of choking the user
• It has attractive clips that are also easy to use and manipulate, even for a child

Because of all this, it also:

• Keeps the mask free from having to be put it down on a contaminated surface
• Keeps the mask from being lost, misplaced, or hard to fumble for in a pocket or purse
• Keeps the mask constantly present, and easy to take on or off when changing environments

It’s been extremely successful in its first week after introduction, selling large quantities to schools and school systems, as well individual units from www.pincentives.com (search “Mask” to see more). And keep innovating!
