Creative Ideas to Make Your Next Event More Buzzworthy!

Companies that have invested in promotional events understand that success is contingent upon a few very specific factors. Pre-show planning sessions, devising a setup plan for all event components, including the AV and lighting, and post-event critique and analysis are all crucial considerations. Businesses hoping to optimize success must carefully and methodically work through every detail to ensure each event’s opportunities are capitalized upon.

If you’re looking for creative and fun ways to make a distinctive impression on guests at the next promotional event, consider the following ideas.

● Autograph Signing: People love a brush with celebrity. Hire a local or national figure through a celebrity talent booking agency to be at your event for a specific allocated time slot to sign autographs.

● Raffle: Raffles are a fun and very non-intrusive way to create some booth buzz. Make sure the prize is a sought after item and remember to use all gathered business cards for leads post-event.

● Trivia Contest: Who doesn’t like to be a know it all? Have players participate individually, as teams or even against your staff for a fun way to engage the crowd.

● Money Machine: No one is going to say no to an opportunity to grab a fistful of cash while visiting your event.

● Golf Simulator: Rent a machine that simulates a golf course and watch as people line up to check it out.

● Fortune Teller: Hire a local fortune teller or tarot card reader to offer guests some entertaining tidbits on what lies ahead.

● Giveaways: At first glance, a promotional giveaway might not seem so fun and creative. However, marketing handouts are a tried and true method for improving your brand recognition. Rather than going with the standard pen with logo or stress ball options, get creative and brainstorm an item guaranteed to get people talking. Items like MP3 players, gift certificates and other non-traditional handouts will help your business stand out.
● Hire a pro: Lastly, if you want your event to run like clockwork, hire professionals in event production in New York.
