Spread Cheer, Not Germs

More than ever, everyone has become extra cautious about spreading germs. Make sure your guests at your event have hand sanitizer readily available to them. A great way to ensure people are constantly reminded to sanitize their hands is by having several hand sanitizing stations around. Since they are battery operated, there is no hassle in trying to hide any wires and they can be displayed just about anywhere. The hand sanitizing station is also automatic, so with a wave of your hand, you can dispense hand sanitizer. The best part is that it is reusable! Even after your event you will get so much use out of this item. Check out more details on this

Say Cheese!

People are constantly taking photos, especially at big events. That is already great influencer marketing. So, make sure your event has aesthetically pleasing areas for photo ops. A great item that can also be reusable for another event are backdrops. You can get creative with this backdrop and add neat art, a fun saying or simply your company branding. The beauty of this item is that once purchased, you can always buy more banners to align with what you will be using it for. Check out this 8.5x10 backdrop.


Swag Bags

Everyone loves free stuff! It is said that 90% of people are likely to go out of their way to receive a giveaway. The mistake people make with swag bags at events is that they give out items their guests cannot use right away or are most likely uninterested in. A great item to start with is a bag but choosing the right bag will determine if it ends up in a random box in their garage or in their closet. Choose one that does not crowd up their closet like this convertible bag that can be folded into a small pouch. 

The items that you hand out in the swag bag should be something they could immediately use and therefore provide more exposure for your event. If you are planning an outdoor event, this 5 piece outdoor kit is great for your guests to use. It comes with sunscreen, hand sanitizer, bug repellent spray, bug bite relief spray, and after sun spray. These items are great for emergency use on the spot or to keep after the event. 

Planning the details of your event should not have to be stressful! Think outside the box when planning your next event.

Give Them Something to Remember You By: From Brand Experience to Brand Recall

Digital ad fatigue is real. Rising costs, saturated social feeds, and banner blindness have made it increasingly difficult for brands to earn and hold attention online. As consumers become more selective about what they engage with, success lies with brands that adapt and look for ways to create connections that feel more personal, memorable, and real. That gap is where experiential marketing comes in. Pop-up shops, live activations, interactive events, and immersive brand experiences give audiences something digital advertising often can’t: the opportunity to participate. Instead of simply seeing a brand, people can interact with it, talk about it, and associate it with a real-world experience. But even the best experience has a limitation: it eventually ends.   Why Experiences Drive Action Experiential marketing works because it turns passive audiences into active participants. Instead of asking consumers to stop scrolling and pay attention, it gives them a reason to ...

The ROI of Branded Merchandise: Why It Works for Every Business

Branded merchandise is a powerful marketing tool that offers a high return on investment (ROI). From increasing brand awareness to boosting customer loyalty and driving sales, promotional products deliver measurable results for businesses of all sizes. However, the modern consumer is highly discerning. Generic, low-quality "swag" often ends up straight in the trash, harming both your budget and your reputation. To unlock true ROI, promotional products must act as a seamless extension of your brand values and directly serve your specific audience. Here is how promotional products drive business value, and how to strategically select items that stick. 1. Boosts Brand Awareness Promotional products keep your brand visible. Custom items act as walking advertisements, but only if they leave the drawer. The secret to impressions is everyday utility. The Data: 83% of people like receiving promotional products, and 87% recall the brand on items they’ve received in the past 2 years. T...
