Before starting such business, you have to gain knowledge about customizing lanyards. You may also learn making handcrafted lanyards for additional products to sell. If you are too excited to start your business then you may start by having a supplier to trust and then it is up to you on how you customize it for companies, schools, and individuals. Lanyards can have so many possible designs. With this business, you can practice your creativity or you can hire some partners who are knowledgeable about the business.

Next, you have to prepare your capital and look for a supplier that can give you best deals when you order by bulk of raw materials. In this way, you will be able to cut the cost and maximize your profit especially when you have a smaller starting capital. Printing and designing equipment, however, may require much of your initial investment.

You must have at least 3 or 4 choices of designs so that customers can have more options to choose from.

Be competitive and study your competitors in the area. Make sure that you are not left behind with the latest styles and fads even with lanyards. Be loyal to your suppliers and maintain your integrity with your regular customers because once you have established great products and great relationships with them, they will go to your company every time they need customized lanyards.
