In-Person Events Are Back. Is Your Brand Ready?

Brighter days lie just ahead as in-person tradeshows slowly return, sports teams welcome fans back to the stands, and more summer events are announced each day. Optimism fills the air with events coming back in 2021 and you need to be ready to represent your brand.

SnugZ USA is here to help with everything from the usual in-person events we’re all very familiar with, to uncharted hybrid activations that have never been seen before. Although current times will most certainly be “different” from years past, and the tradeshow season all of us have attuned to over decades seems non-existent, you can count on things to start opening up.

Our question to you: Is your brand ready?

New opportunities are popping up all over the place, so get ahead of the game and make sure your brand is on point for virtual, hybrid, and in-person events. We’re talking about brand announcing lanyards, full-color badges, sanitizer that’s USA Made in an FDA registered facility, and dye-sublimated face masks with 100% unique stock patterns. Only SnugZ USA can pull all of these promo products off seamlessly for your events.

We’re not only the King of Lanyards but the Queen of Events.

Check and mate. Let’s get started. Read on to explore all of our promotional product solutions that will help bring your vision to life:

Brand Announcing Lanyards

Lanyards. Do you remember those? Hint: They hang around your neck. No, we’re not talking about silk ties or gold chains, we’re talking about, full-color, dye-sublimated, next level, brand announcing lanyards! And SnugZ USA is the King of Lanyards.

When it comes to event marketing, more is better. As in the more people who get their hands on your sweet merch, the better. Our best-selling lanyards come with “more” everything:

More capacity to carry IDs and access passes on sturdy metal or sleek plastic attachments

Full-Color Badges & Vinyl Pouches

Unlike Han, a lanyard should never go solo. It should always be toting a standout full-color badge or useful vinyl pouch for that one, two, punch. Full-color badges allow you to use a spectrum of colors to create the perfect impression at your event, while the vinyl pouch serves as a cool carrier for inserts, business cards, and IDs. You can’t go wrong with either choice:

Both are available in a variety of sizes
Easily upgrade your plastic ID badge with variable data – perfect for attendees or employees
NEW – full-color pad print can now be applied to vinyl pouches for a small charge

Make a statement with your next name badge or vinyl pouch. Customize it with our team!

USA Made Sanitizer

If one thing’s become clear through all of this, it’s we’re all going to be using sanitizer a lot more often, especially at events. People want something easy to stash and the ability to clean up quick on the go. Plus, sometimes a sink and soap just aren’t nearby and you need to keep those digits fresh. Sanitizer will be a key drop in every swag bag for a long, long time so make sure it’s the good stuff. SnugZ USA sanitizer is:

USA Made in an FDA registered facility
Compliant, quality and GMP certified
Most SKUs ship next-day with ZIP-IT®
70% alcohol by volume
We’ve been making it for over a decade
Huge variety of containers, scents, and features

Don’t forget the sanitizer! Customize and order today.

Dye-Sublimated Face Masks

Depending on the mask mandate of each individual state/region/country or venue requirements, you may need face masks. When it comes to keeping everyone safe at your event, give the people what they want! In today’s world, that’s stylish and comfortable PPE.

Beautiful full-color dye-sublimation
100% unique stock patterns designed by our world class design team
3-ply protection
Add your own filter

How to Host an Event That People Will Remember

Hosting an event that people will remember can be challenging and (if we’re all being honest) super overwhelming. You’re probably thinking:

“How will I promote it?”

“Will anyone actually come?”

“Chicken, fish or vegetarian?”

“What if my budget isn’t big enough?”

Press pause. Before you answer any of the above questions, let’s go back to the beginning and start with step one.

Here are 4 event planning tips:

1. Audience

Knowing your audience is key to throwing an event that people will remember. In order to create interest for both attendees and sponsors you’ll need to spend time on developing killer content that creates a buzz around your event. Before you begin producing said content and event assets you will want to figure out exactly who it is you are trying to invite.

After the content is built and you have determined your audience, it’s time to spread the word. Technically, there is no right or wrong way to go about enticing people into coming to your event. Start by finding them first.

Promoting your event could look like:

Strategically placed posters throughout the community
Utilizing major influencers to share the message
Targeted online ads
Social media posts / Facebook event
Press release
Having sponsors leverage their audience
Industry Associations

Lastly, remember to compile relevant data on attendees during the registration process. Having that information will not only help you grow and understand your audience, but better connect with them in future promotions.

2. Location

Location, location, location. Did we mention location?

On a more serious note, location will make or break your event. It’s really important and sets the tone from arrival to departure.

Some things to consider before making a decision:

Theme
Atmosphere you want to create
Amenities that will be required (rooms for breakout sessions, power, restrooms, food etc.) – List all of these out
Room and board – Most hotels will negotiate for large groups
Space for sponsor booths or tables

3. Speakers

It’s easy to forget that speakers get as much from your event as you are getting from them. Whether it’s exposure for their brand as an individual, meeting attendees or networking with your other VIPs, you have a lot to offer. Having a solid concept in mind before approaching industry experts to speak makes it easier for them to envision their role in your event. Choose a topic your audience will connect with and be inspired by.

4. Get Creative with a Badge

Some might say it’s all in the details. At SnugZ we say it’s all in the badge.

Oftentimes badges are neglected and event planners settle for a much less appealing sticker name tag with “Parker” scribbled on it.

Do you want your event to be remember as unorganized and cheap? No.

A badge is much more than a name tag. Use that space in a creative way to get your audience engaged!

Map out your venue
List the conference schedule
Run a hashtag or social media contest
Go AR like Facebook at F8
Tell a story about each attendee
Your idea here __________

Ordering a lanyard without its badge is unnatural. So buy the badge and start planning an event people will remember! Free setup on full-color badges through May of 2018!* Check out Lanyard + Badge options here.
