Brand Boosting Giveaways for Extraordinary Events
Events are so much more than networking opportunities. Seize the opportunity to make a lasting impression on attendees. Do you recall the last event you attended? Remember the energy and enthusiasm of meeting new people and fresh ideas? Now think back to the giveaways that you received. Did they make a lasting impression or were they left in a recycling bin somewhere?
You’re not alone if it’s the latter.
Most giveaways miss the mark because they lack practicality and thoughtfulness. It’s critical to imagine how a gift will be used post-event, and give what attendees consider useful. We uncover ideas to create lasting memories with your branded merchandise, to make recipients feel important and valued, and to keep your brand top of mind long after the event. From retail-inspired items like Moleskine and Stanley, to the latest in technology, like power banks and AI-driven products, we’ve got you covered with the latest in branded SWAG.
It’s more than free stuff. It’s a powerful tool to enhance brand visibility. SWAG, an acronym for “stuff we all get” has evolved from the quirky foam fingers and magnets to logo’d pens, water bottles and power banks. Gone are the days when you slapped a logo on your items and handed them out to everyone. Elevated swag is now considered, “merchandise”, and the merchandise reflects a higher quality product.
Top categories for swag include power banks, writing instruments, apparel, bags, journals, and bottles. Sure, we’ve seen those. But have you seen a journal with multimedia decoration? We take the branding capabilities to the next level by combining different decoration methods on a single item. The result? A retail inspired collectable item to be used over and over by the recipient. Let’s brainstorm fresh ideas for a variety of event types!
