Have you ever considered being a sponsor at a live event? It’s a great opportunity to meet and greet your target market, and show and tell them what you do.
As someone who started out as a print designer, I’ve helped many business execs prepare their event booths and promotional materials. Event materials I’ve designed are:
- backlit header banners
- 10′ wrap-around display walls
- interpretive panels
- portable retractable standing banners
- tabletop displays
- brochures
- advertisements
- embroidered logos on t-shirts and directors chairs
- embossed and screen printed logos on pocket folders
- printed sales materials to hand out
- I even helped produce a video for a cable manufacturer
Last year was the first year I set up my own table. Next week I’m heading back to Mount Laurel New Jersey for Christine Gallagher’s The Get OUT There-Live! Workshop. It will be my third time at this fun and informative event, and my second time as an event sponsor.
What promotional items did I choose for myself, and how long did it take to produce them?
