Give Guests a Little Something Extra
Give Guests Something to Remember
BY RCMAWEB|TIPS FOR PLANNERS|ADD A COMMENT
Gift bags for attendees are a nice touch—they will appreciate the thought and will provide them with a lasting memory of your event. Below are a few ideas perfect for your next event.
Key chain While the idea is maybe a little antiquated, if enough thought is put into the idea, it can actually be a great memento. Think of something you would want on your keys. If you like it, there is a higher chance guests will too. And while you can promote your company in some way, try not to create something that is a one-color plastic tag with just your logo placed on it—be creative.
Selfie Stick We can’t deny it, selfies are a huge hit with all generations. So why not give the people what they want and supply them with a selfie stick? If given before the event, attendees will have the opportunity to take their own photos and share them on social media, giving notice to more people about your event and your brand. Prices run as low as $13.
Tablet case These are handy and are a good way to market your brand. Again, make sure the branding isn’t too flashy, so that attendees are more prone to using it. Guests will be able to use them long after the event.
Loaded USB drives A pretty standard gift bag item, but one that continues to hold importance for attendees. You can fill the drive with information you want to give to your attendees, and after they can save the information and then fill the drive with things such as photos, documents or whatever else they might need it for.
Candles An often overlooked item most that guests would use by placing it in their home. Candles make a nice gift for family and friends, so it’s likely to be appreciated at an event. They add a nice touch to any bag and will show guests you truly put thought into their gift bags.
A map of the city If attendees are traveling to your event, a map of the area will be immensely helpful. You can even customize it by marking restaurants and attraction you think they might like.
