Use the IElementProperties interface when you need to tag your graphic elements so that you can identify them later. An example of where this would be useful is when you add graphics to a layout, and know that you would want to delete them later, and need to distinguish them from the ones already present in the layout.
If you want to tag your element with a text string, you can simply use the Name or the Type property. If you want to associate another datatype with it, you can use the CustomProperty property which takes a Variant.
