Innovative Branding Ideas for Every Event
From Bland to Brand!
In the strongly digital era of marketing and brand promotion, it’s more important than ever to come face to face with your audience or team to make a more personal connection. With events and parties serving as invaluable opportunities to do so. From product launches to corporate galas, these gatherings offer a platform to showcase your brand's identity and values while being present and front of mind of every guest in the room. Leave a lasting impression on attendees and elevate your brand’s presence at every stage of the event with a curated selection of custom branded merch.
Lead-up: Invites and Promotional Materials
Set the tone for your event with eye-catching invitations that pique curiosity and generate excitement. Consider unique formats such as interactive digital invites or custom-designed packages that include a teaser product related to the event theme. For instance, if you're hosting a tech conference, include a branded USB drive preloaded with event information or exclusive content. Or, get really creative, like a recent client who sent a custom jigsaw puzzle that made up the invite once completed!
For that extra touch, complement your invites with promotional materials that build anticipation and reinforce your event's messaging. From branded apparel and tech gadgets to useful accessories like notebooks and pens, offer items that attendees will find valuable and relevant to their interests. These pre-event giveaways not only serve as promotional tools but also create buzz and anticipation among your target audience.
The Actual Event: Decorations, Event Materials, and Food
Transform your event space into a branded experience that captivates attendees and reinforces your brand identity. Incorporate customised decorations, such as branded banners, table runners, and signage, to create a cohesive visual theme. Utilise innovative lighting techniques and interactive displays to engage guests and create memorable moments.
Ensure that event materials, from name badges to presentation slides, feature consistent branding elements that align with your overall theme and ethos. If, for example, your brand promotes sustainability as a value, it’s important to consider the materials used. We offer a huge range of more eco-friendly alternatives to almost everything we have on offer and will gladly help you to find products that best align.
Also consider offering interactive experiences such as photo booths with customised props or virtual reality stations showcasing your products or services. These immersive activities not only entertain guests but also create opportunities for organic social media sharing and brand exposure. If you have a specific concept in mind - reach out to us and we’ll assist in sourcing the products you require.
Cater to attendees' tastes with a diverse selection of food and beverage options that reflect your brand's personality and values. Collaborate with local vendors or specialty caterers to create bespoke menus that feature signature dishes and unique culinary experiences. Incorporate branded packaging and serving ware to enhance the visual impact of your offerings and consider reusable options that double up as guest keepsakes like drinkware.
After the Event: Party Favours/Goodie Bags and Thank Yous
Extend the event experience beyond the venue with carefully curated party favours and goodie bags that delight attendees and reinforce your brand's message. Choose items that are both practical and memorable, such as customised apparel, accessories, or tech gadgets. Consider including exclusive discounts or vouchers for future purchases to incentivise continued engagement with your brand.
Express gratitude to attendees for their participation and support with personalised thank-you notes or post-event communications. Highlight key moments from the event and showcase user-generated content, such as photos and testimonials, to foster a sense of community and belonging. Encourage guests to share their experiences on social media using event-specific hashtags to amplify your brand's reach and visibility.
