Business events play a crucial role in your company’s growth and with every event, there’s an opportunity to meet someone new, to drive through a sale, or to simply showcase your business to those attending.
Whether you’re throwing a business event yourself or you’re part of a big conference or networking event, branding is important to get right. When it comes to a business event, you want to get yourself noticed. With that in mind, let’s look at how you can level up your branding at business events in 2023.
Stick your logo on everything
When leveling up your branding, look at what you have at the event itself. What could you emblazon with your business logo? Your logo is an important part of business branding and it’s an easy enough asset that you can stick on anything and everything. From the doors to the venue, you’re hosting into the toilet paper in the toilets.
Get creative when it comes to your branding, especially when it takes many interactions with a person to recognize branding. After all, there are likely people attending that have never seen your brand before.
Have branded goodie bags
To satisfy all those that love a good freebie at business events, it’s worth assembling together a goodie bag. You may be working with sponsors who are providing their own haul of goodies to contribute so make sure you’ve got branded goodie bag packaging.
This is key because it’s something they’ll be carrying back with them after the event and chances are if you invest in tote bags, they may end up using them again. That means free advertising for your business!
Invest in custom backdrops
When it comes to dressing up your business event, branding needs to be everywhere. Not only should your logo be scattered across the room, but anything relative to the business branding too. From color themes to marketing campaigns that have been successful prior.
Look at investing in custom printed step and repeat backdrop materials. These are great for any events that you might hold throughout the year and they’re a worthwhile spend for how much use you’ll get out of them each time.
Consider how your employees are dressed
While you might not have uniforms for your business, it’s important to review the dress code. When it comes to business events, your employees are just as influential as the branding that’s around them.
Consider how well-dressed your employees are and think about what improvements could be made to those who are not up to the standard needed.
Make use of technology for digital branding
Finally, make full use of technology when it comes to digital branding. Got a photo booth at the event, make it a digital experience that can be shared with them via email or social media networks using your brand event hashtag. QR codes are popular nowadays too.
Leveling up your branding will make all the difference to your business events and any you attend as a business this year.
