Lanyard Pins
Part of the Universal culture is “pin trading“. In the past, Exhibitors brought die-cast pins for students to collect on their lanyards and trade. We’re hoping you’ll consider offering these again this year.
The pins can be Universal Studios or Exploration-themed. They can be generic pins you already have in stock for prospective students. They can be any size (1-2 inches diameter seems to be the standard). Consider bringing 200-250 pins (fewer than the number of student we anticipate attending). This way, you won’t have to take any back home and you pins will be in demand.
