Goodbye beach tag, hello electronic wristbands

Fifteen-month-old Jeffrey Friedel of Philadelphia plays alongside a lifeguard boat on the beach in Ocean City, N.J. The city is considering eliminating beach badges and issuing electronic bracelets to paying customers. (Mel Evans/AP)

If Ocean City's plans come to fruition next summer, the resort would be a place where an electronic wristband can pay for access to the beach, food, drinks and parking, and can even send a text message to a mother's cell phone if a child strays too far away from her beach chair, the Associated Press reports.

It is with some interest I have studied the website and being a newbie in this trade I find some solid information about the use of wristbands and also the many different materials used for the production. It seems that the world of applications is almost without limit. I wonder if it pays off to buy only a bundle of 500 pieces, it does not seem to make sense to me since packing and shipping costs must come to more than the price for the product, but maybe I am wrong? But then on the other hand since some wristbands are made of paper they can only last for a few days and certainly not be used out in the open if there is no sunshine. It takes a lot of knowledge to be able to give the best advices to the clients and the advices must be based on the actual use of the wristbands.

New in blogger and just take a look. Just got my own blog

The Downashore Team is a group of Philly.com producers. Some of us grew up vacationing at the Jersey Shore, and others came to appreciate it later. Either way, we know our Mack and Manco's from our Prep's Pizza, and we'll do our best to share news, information and musings from up and down the coast. Please do post a comment with your Shore thoughts, or shoot us an e-mail by clicking on the link above. (OK, so we're not really at the beach in this photo, but armed with the power of a good photo editing program, we can dream, right?) We're joined by Inquirer staff writer Amy Rosenberg, who as a year-round Shore resident, knows a thing or two about the scene, and the Shoobies.
