Story of the Pineapple

There is a very interesting story explaining the history behind how these pins have become a “Symbol of Hospitality”  worldwide.  Pins by Frank has designed a book mark with the  “Pineapple Story.”  Although there are many versions of this story, the version we chose of The Story of the Pineapple is available as a book mark with your order of pins  and compliments our pins beautifully. We now offer customization of the book mark with your logo and colors. A complimentary quote is available based on quantity ordered. 

The Pineapple & Hospitality Collection is very versatile and provides a cost effective tool to enhance sales, welcome visitors or reward employees.

Effective Ideas 

Many of our clients have shared how our Hospitality collection has been used creatively and cost effectively and a few of these ideas are mentioned below. 

  • Our small pineapple, with the gold, silver and copper finishes have been very popular for employee recognition/ awards programs. 
  • Another popular idea is to use these hospitality pins (symbolizing welcome) at trade shows or on sales calls. Many collected business cards are discarded after a trade show but not a business card that has a lovely little pin attached to it. That one will be kept.
  • Many churches and organizations have purchased these pins to “Welcome” new members.  

To see the full list of ideas and  how these flagship items have been successfully used by our clients please visit the  Creative Ideas for our Collections & Products page on our website.

“I was thrilled to get the pins so quickly and even happier I could show my adviser.  So far….  everyone loves them!  The pictures don’t do them justice. The pins are classy. Thank you.I know I will be doing business again.  I printed out the other pineapple items and am bringing them to today’s Hospitality  Club meeting. Thank you for all your help.

Lackawana College, Stephanie Decker, Director, Kiesendahl School of Hospitality

“Lackawana College is catching employees doing something right. Members of the College family are encouraged to award pineapple pins to a member of the administration, staff, and faculty or student body caught in the act of hospitality towards another. Everyone checks to see who got pins and how they got them. It has increased the energy and hospitality of the entire College.”
