Best Corporate Event Swag & Promotional Products for Events

Trusted By National Companies

Event Swag & Promotional Products

Promotional items and branded event swag at a corporate event can enhance your message and goals. They can also help boost brand loyalty.

Using your logo and other brand elements at your event helps attendees remember the experience you provided. It gives them a physical reminder to take home.

This can help reinforce your brand and keep your event top of mind for attendees even after it’s over.

Drive Event Goals With Details

In marketing, repetition is key to recognition which leads to trust.

Using your brand colors, logo, slogan, and marketing materials repeatedly at events can help your business grow effectively.

Details matter, in both events and marketing.

When the two partner up, the results are extraordinary!

At Event Solutions, our marketing experts and corporate event planners make sure your event and products will undoubtedly shine.

Formal Events

Swag and promotional products for formal events, such as galas, require packaging that meets the event’s formality. At this formal anniversary party, the company sent home promotional products (custom etched wine glasses) in upscale gift bags. So, too, does a formal event mean that swag and promotional items should be equally formal, like etched custom wine glasses. For a destination event, high quality goods like custom engraved leather luggage tags and branded bags like luggage.

Great Branded Items for Formal Events:

Custom Engraved Wine Glasses and/or Branded Bottles
Custom Etched Glass Water Bottles
Custom Stamped Leather Portfolios
Engraved Leather Wallet or Billfold

An indoor informal event could be a product launch party. Be sure to include swag in your product launch plan checklist! Swag for these can be of any variety. For example, just see what XOS did with their kickoff event branded swag.

They used their swag bags and promo products for brand promotion. The swag bar offered customized swag by silk screening custom shirts. Their bar’s giveaway items included eco-friendly mouse pads, coffee mugs, and wireless chargers.
