8 Conference Branding Materials For Your Successful Events
If you’re planning a conference or event, there are a lot of factors that go into making sure it’s successful. And one of the most important factors is branding. Branding includes everything from logo design and promotional materials to the actual look and feel of your event—and it’s crucial to the success of your event. Here are some tips on how to make sure that your branding materials are as effective as possible:
Important Details about Successful Events
1. Name Badges
The first branding materials you should consider are magnetic metal name badges. Name badges are a great way to promote your brand, especially if you’re a company that needs to make a good first impression on potential customers at an event like SXSW or the Consumer Electronics Show.
Name badges can be used for any event: conferences, trade shows, seminars—even weddings! Another reason why they’re so versatile is that there are so many different types of badges available these days.
2. Posters
Posters are an excellent way to get the word out about your event. They can be printed in large quantities, and are typically eye-catching enough to draw attention from a crowd. Your posters should have a consistent design that matches other materials associated with your brand. In addition, they should be on high-quality paper so they don’t get damaged during transport or handling.
3. Pull-Up Banners
Pull-up banners are a perennial favorite of event planners. They’re great for promoting your biggest announcement, or as a backdrop for your speaker’s podium. Pull-up banners are also portable and easy to set up, making them great for indoor and outdoor events alike.
Here are some important things to keep in mind when choosing pull-up banners for your event:
- Size – Make sure you remember that the size of your pull-up banner will depend on where you plan on placing it. For example, if you want to use your pull-up banner indoors at an event with limited space (like our annual conference), we suggest using an 8′ x 4′ printable poster instead of a larger 22″ x 34″ option.
- Type – There are many different types of pull-up banners available today: standard printed posters; one-page tear-offs; die-cut shapes; full-color vinyl signs; the list goes on! If you’re having trouble deciding which type is best suited for your needs then don’t hesitate to ask us questions about how each option works so that we can help narrow down which one might work best for what specifically but also within budget too!
- Accessory Packages – We offer packages including everything needed including installation tools like mounting brackets & hardware plus accessories like cables or hooks too so be sure not to miss out!
4. Roll-up banners
You can’t miss these banners! They roll up and come with a carrying case. They are durable and lightweight, making them easy to move around throughout the event space. Use them on stage as an introduction to your speaker or at the entrance of your booth to get people excited about what they will see inside.
5. Stands
When it comes to stands, there are a few things you need to keep in mind:
- Portability—If you’re using your stand for any kind of event where people are going to be walking around and moving from place to place, then the stand needs to be easy to transport. The last thing that attendees want is a bulky display in their way when they go from one session room or workshop area over to another.
- Set-up—Those who set up stands should also find them easy and quick! It should never take more than 10 minutes for someone at an event venue just before the start time for your first session or presentation (and even less if possible). If it takes too long, then your attendees might miss out on something else that could have been valuable for them at the conference.
6. Folders And Brochures
Brochures are one of the most effective ways to inform your audience about your event. They’re also a great marketing tool! When people hold them in their hands, they become more conscious of what you’re offering. They’ll keep these brochures on display after the event and may even advertise them to their friends and family, spreading awareness for future events.
Folders are another great way to showcase information about your event. Their sturdy materials make them more durable than paper, allowing you to use them as promotional tools at the conference venue or trade fairs where people can take them home as souvenirs from the event itself.
Folders are also a good option if your audience needs something more substantial than just a standard piece of paper or cardstock that might get lost in transit between meetings during conference breaks (or if there’s any chance that someone will accidentally spill something on it).
7. Pens
Pens are a great giveaway. They’re useful, they have a strong brand association, and they have longevity. Pens should be branded and presented with other branding materials (in this case, the lanyard). Pens should also be in a branded box and bag to give them extra protection during transportation. The final touch is to have your event name printed on each pen as well as other branding items for maximum exposure!
8. T-shirts
T-shirts are comfortable, easy to wear, and a great way to spread your brand. They can be used in any setting and are perfect for casual events.
They’re also great for promoting your event once it’s over! People will love wearing the t-shirts from a custom apparel company, like Fully Promoted franchise, around town or at other events knowing that they were there on the first day of the conference.
A lot of people don’t know how to care for their t-shirts once they get them home though, so here are some tips:
- Machine wash cold with like colors; tumble dry medium heat or line dry. Do not iron directly on the graphic!
- Don’t forget about washing your hands before handling as bacteria can transfer from your skin onto the shirt’s fabric and damage its appearance over time (yes, even if you think you’re clean). If possible wear a pair of disposable nitrile gloves while handling printed garments if this makes you more comfortable with touching them!
