The National Retail Federation foresees great things this holiday shopping season: a 6-8 percent increase in retail sales on higher-end luxury items that had languished in previous years. If you’re selling any of the following items, stock up on elastic loops with ball ends to kick up your holiday hang tags!

Silver or gold elastic loops with a ball instead of a plain knot add a touch of panache to your hang tag design, particularly for items like these:

• Bottled Gourmet Foods and Beverages—If you sell high end liquors, sauces, syrups or anything else that goes in a bottle, metallic elastic loops with ball ends add a classy finishing touch to your hang tag marketing efforts. Consider using heavier stock for the hang tags when you use these elastic loops as it increases durability.
• Fashion Outerwear—The holidays are a big selling time for coats, boots and other types of heavy-duty outerwear. We have a variety of durable, yet classic metallic hang tag loops with ball ends that will go beautifully with a variety of outerwear items and look great on and off the shelf.
• Big-Ticket Travel Items—As the economy gets better, people are traveling again and they’re upgrading their luggage. This is a perfect product for elastic hang tag loops with ball ends. It helps enforce the idea of durability and quality.

Of course, these aren’t the only products that need colored elastic hang tag loops. Generally speaking, metallic elastic loops with ball ends are great for hang tags on heavier, high-end merchandise. Lighter-weight fashion items may benefit from the silky, knotted rayon hang tag loops instead, because the ball can sometimes snag when items are packaged or moved.

Either way, regardless of your hang tag loop needs, Elastic Connections can get you what you need in a variety of colors, widths and lengths! Contact us today at 847-426-6830 to stock up for the holidays!
