Leaving a Mark at Meetings and Events
Incorporating creative branding into events can make a lasting impression, from using etched mirrored trays and engraved wine bottles to hosting interactive logo-based activities like scavenger hunts. Fun elements like fortune cookies with personalized messages and comfort food stations such as a Mashed Potato Bar can engage guests, while pampering stations with stylists and gown rentals bring an extra touch of luxury to formal events, ensuring a memorable experience for attendees.
- Branding– The key to creating a memorable meeting or event is in the branding. Featuring your company or event logo in unique ways will spark excitement.
o Serving drinks and hors d’oeuvres on mirrored trays etched with the event logo is an eye-catching and remarkable way to deliver your message. (a set of nine 11” round mirrors can be purchased at Target for $19.99 – very economical!)
o Recycle white wine bottles engraved with your logo as water pitchers at your meeting or event. People will be sure to want to take them home!
o Hide the logo throughout your event program and have a prize for the first person to find all of them.
o “Tattoo” your logo on all of your server’s wrists and offer a tattoo station where attendees can get tattoos too! Very inexpensive activity and fun!
- On the Hunt – An inexpensive and very fun way to get attendees to participate in your event is to stage a Scavenger Hunt. Whether it’s through the Exhibit Hall or a Trip Around the City, a Scavenger Hunt creates excitement, competition and just plain fun.
- Get Your Message Across - Offer Fortune Cookies with personalized messages that fit your theme as a special afternoon treat or dessert. (available at www.GoodFortunes.com)
- Fun Food Station – Everyone loves food stations and comfort food! A new twist is to offer a Mashed Potato Bar – hot, creamy mashed potatoes with toppings including different cheeses, garlic, bacon, green onions, gravy, and deep fried onion strings!
- Pamper Them! – If your meeting includes a formal affair bring in local manicurists, hair stylists, and makeup artists to give the ladies the royal treatment. You can also invite a gown rental service to bring in a large assortment of evening gowns for them to choose from and wear for the evening. (in LA try One Night Affair). Now that’s remarkable!
