What Type of Swag Will Appeal to Your Attendees
#1 Know Your Audience
Ever went birthday shopping for a friend and came across a tech product that he/she would love? Or have you come across certain types of trendy apparel and thought to yourself, “my buddy would look great in these”?
Choosing a virtual event swag is exactly like that. You need to understand what your audience will like receiving and raving about. The swag you gift to your attendees will speak volumes for your brand and the value it captures. Showcase those values by gifting appealing swag and provide your attendees with a glimpse of your company’s personality.
#2 Useful & Functional Prodcuts
Your attendees want items that are handy and functional. You need to think critically about your industry, audience, and type of event to pick out the best items to give out.
For instance, if you are a pharma brand hosting an event that revolves around COVID, safety, and health, opt for healthcare and wellness products such as a pedometer, anti-microbial products, health packs, and so on. If you are an eco-friendly brand, giveaway items such as recycled pens, totes, and recycled journals
#3 More Than One Item
If you want your audience to truly capture the sense of your brand, send multiple swag items. It’s way easier to showcase your brand’s personality with few products instead of trying to choose the one perfect product. Also, your attendees will love receiving more.
