Many businesses focus their attention on ordering promotional products, but they don’t know where or how they plan to use them. Trade shows are the most popular events to purchase promotional items for, but there are plenty of other events that you can be a part of. The summer season is especially booming, with outdoor and live events where people are in a mood to get free items and learn about local businesses. Let’s take a look at some of the best places to hand out promotional items and get your business noticed!
Baseball Games
Between the Major and Minor leagues, youth baseball and adult teams, there are plenty of baseball games to attend. With nine long innings, there’s no doubt that guests will be getting out of their seats to grab a drink, get a bite to eat and stretch their legs. Setting up a booth with promotional items is a great opportunity to get your business noticed and connect with local customers.
Summer Parades
There are plenty of parades over the summer, and you shouldn’t miss out on them. Parades bring local families together to support businesses, organizations and events in the area, so take your place and participate in a parade or two. Hand out stickers, sunglasses, key chains, stress balls or other similar products and get your brand name out there.
Beaches
Do you know how many people would be happy to receive a stadium cup, frisbee, pair of sunglasses or bottle of sunscreen while enjoying a day at the beach? Handing out promotional items on a hot summer day is an excellent way to connect with people and instill a level of trust. After all, someone who shows up to save the day with a bottle of water or a Koozie will be remembered.
County Fairs
County fairs are not just about popcorn and cotton candy and funnel cakes. There’s plenty of room for local businesses to share information about their product or service and hand out promotional items. Don’t be afraid to host a raffle or giveaway, too! It will draw more people in, and you can get an idea for the type of demographics in your local marketing area.
Outdoor Concerts
Outdoor concerts are commonplace in the summer, and you can expect a certain demographic based on the musical artist. People are in good moods and ready to have some fun, so correlate your promotional products with this demographic. LED bracelets, glow sticks and lanyards are perfect for these settings.
