When conference season comes around, attendee bags are full of stress balls, frisbees, pamphlets, and other “goodies” with your logo placed on them. But, what happens when they get home? Only the conference SWAG that really stands out gets a permanent place on their desk, shelf, or even nightstand. The rest gets tossed, lost, or given to children and pets…and then lost. What are the best conference giveaway items that will get your attendees’ attention, start conversations, and not get thrown out the second the plane lands home? In this blog, we will share top conference SWAG items that might surprise you.
Key Takeaways (TL;DR) Best Giveaways for Conferences
- Conference SWAG should be practical, so that your attendees don't toss it the second they get home.
- However, pens, notebooks and grocery bags are over done and really only get noticed from time-to-time, in the office or at the bank.
- Find a giveaway item that sparks conversation, gets a laugh, and stays on their nightstand until they need it, like condoms.
- Condoms and lubricants from Custom Condoms® are a great way to bring attendees to your booth and get them to remember your brand, even after the busiest of conference seasons.
What Goodies Do Trade Show Attendees Actually Want?
Trade show and conference attendees may have endless SWAG by the end of the week, but what they truly want are practical goodies. Things that won’t sit at the bottom of their junk drawer for months just to end up in the trash during their next spring cleaning. And while pens, notebooks, and grocery bags are great practical options, they don’t spark conversation and they don’t say to your potential clients “we see you and we know what you want.” So, what is something that attendees will actually use, talk about for conferences to come, and that keeps your brand top of mind when they are making decisions? It’s not what you think!
Best Conference SWAG Ideas That Keep Your Brand Top of Mind
Condoms. Yup, you read that right. Conference SWAG shouldn’t be boring and predictable, it should be fun, enticing, and memorable. Branded condoms not only start conversations, but they say, we get it. Pens and notebooks might be the “safe option,” but even if they do generate conversations, they are limited to when people are using them, probably at work, with the colleagues who have already evaluated your brand time and time again. With condoms, attendees can have a laugh with their colleagues, bring it up with their friends, and remember your brand in those intimate moments. And we know you’ve heard it before, but “sex sells,” so why not give it a try for yourself and see how Custom Condoms® can turn those potential clients into loyal clients.
