From that moment on, every time you reach for that water bottle at home or on-the-go, you’ll be reminded of that thrilling day at the game and the company who provided such a thoughtful gift.

Success Story: Australind Swimming Club

Australind Swimming Club was struggling to retain members due to fierce competition from other local swimming clubs within Australina’s extensive swimming communities. To encourage membership retention rates, our creative solution consultants suggested handing out custom-branded drinking bottles during events while practicing innovative strategies emphasizing the club’s environmental focus – an element young swimmers appreciated greatly. The bottle provided positive reinforcement while simplifying processes surrounding healthy drinking habits ensuring families were regularly out enjoying outdoor activities!

The promotional bottle giveaway at their event worked wonders for them, helping increase visibility and awareness around Australia primarily being known for its beautiful beaches and crystal-clear waterscapes- a tool providing Aussies options beyond mere bathing suits. They surpassed initial expectations by increasing brand image exposure cost-effectively; every recipient increased video viewing times over 2 minutes!

By providing high-quality hydration gear such as reusable water bottles at sporting events and competitions, companies can tap into a wide range of benefits – from boosting performance levels amongst athletes to promoting sustainability practices. These promotional items increase publicity opportunities leading to promotion longevity, thus rendering remarkable advertising returns on investments across a diverse audience willing to jump onboard the ‘green’ boat showcasing care towards environmental pollution concerns showcased by Australians worldwide today!
