It’s a competitive world out there. Your brand only gets one shot to impress at trade shows and conferences. Whatever you use as swag items for events, they need to be impressive. Today, that means they must be sustainable swag or eco-friendly, inventive, highly engineered, and high quality. Pack swag boxes for events with well-designed, branded merchandise that suits your needs.
Be strategic when it comes to trade show giveaways
Make your best first impression. Branded merchandise must be memorable and practical in order to make the cut when it comes to limited luggage space on a work trip. Small items that are easily packable will make your life easier in the handout process and are more likely to actually be taken home. Be creative to keep attendee engagement and command the crowd with curiosity.
Key Takeaways:
Have your swag items for events be:
- Sustainable
- Eco-friendly
- Small and packable
- practical
- Memorable
- Creative
- fun!
