We have card stock rectangles with our logo, on a long string loop.  The
loop can go over a button, through a buttonhole, over a wrist, etc.  The
ones that fall on the floor don't stick and are easily swept up.  I think
the color varies daily, but I don't know for sure.

At our museum we have been using a type of sticker with our name/logo on,
however, they come off during the tour, often falling on the floor.  They
are rough to get off the floors and we find them all over the site.

I have noticed some museums use the small tin/metal button badges than a top
section is bend over to secure them to a lapel or shirt pocket.  The color
of the buttons are changed daily or   weekly.

What do some other museums use to let the staff/volunteers know that the
visitor has paid and has access to the site/buildings, etc.?  How often do
you change colors (so guest do not come back another day)>  Finally, where
do you obtain the buttons and the costs?  Thanks in advance.
