These items provide a positive experience for attendees and create a lasting association with your brand.

  • Provide attendees with useful tools for their work.

How Virtual Event Merchandise Drives Engagement

To make sure your conference merchandise has a lasting impact, consider the following strategies:

  • Bulk Ordering and Delivery Timelines: For large-scale events, consider bulk ordering. For example, when ordering 1000+ units of items like branded notebooks, you can often get better pricing, like $1.50/unit.
  • Return on Investment (ROI): Branded items like notebooks, pens, and printed conference tote bags can enhance event recall by up to 15%, helping you retain and nurture leads. This ROI can be measured by tracking post-event engagement, such as sign-ups or purchases.
  • Scalable Solutions for Large Campaigns: If you are hosting an event with thousands of attendees, consider scalable solutions for your giveaway distribution. For instance, streamline your bulk ordering process for 10,000+ units and use account managers to help manage logistics efficiently. This ensures all your attendees receive their gifts in time.
  • Industry-Specific Merchandise: Tailor your giveaways to suit your attendees’ specific industry and role. For example:
    • Finance firms can use branded USB drives for secure data sharing at virtual financial events.
    • Healthcare companies might offer eco-stationery at seminars or online health workshops.

Personalising giveaways based on your audience’s industry ensures that your branded merchandise is relevant and valuable.

Make Your Virtual Event Unforgettable with the Right Merchandise

Custom-branded merchandise can be the extra spark that turns a virtual event from forgettable to truly memorable. Whether it’s a well-curated swag bag, a sleek branded tech item, or something wearable that keeps your logo in view, the right merch builds connection and keeps your brand top of mind. Thoughtful choices—like sustainable materials—show you care about visibility and value.
