How to Create Exciting and Fun Events
How to Create Exciting and Fun Events
Events serve as the opportunity for your brand to interact with your audience. This is where people come to experience your company, your new product, and to see what you can offer in action. If your event is fun, it sticks in your clients’ minds and it leaves a longer impression. The common misconception is that making events interesting and fun detracts from its original purpose; but what is real is that adapting some new ideas like the ones below will surely set the bar higher for your competitors.
- Make your souvenirs special. Do away with souvenirs like the standard photo prints and figurines that will probably just stay at a corner. Be creative and think of a much more personal and unique memento such as printed bags, t-shirts, water bottles and USB flash drive. These are more likely to be used by your clients and will help spread awareness beyond your event. Another unique idea taking the Philippine event industry by storm is the Holo Foto. It gives your guests a studio quality portrait printed in a unique polaroid-like lenticular prints that are not just branded, but also magnetized. That means it’s something your guests will see everyday as they pass by their refrigerators. Take a peek at how it was mounted in the E! Bloggers Ball
- Social media contests. People are competitive in nature so you can engage them in social media contests before, during or event after your event. You can create specific hashtags to augment your social media exposure and post quirky queries and facts about it. You can also organize photo contests where the most creative gets an award.
- Provide live performance and mingling entertainers. Know your crowd first and provide the more interesting type of entertainment for them. For a younger crowd, hire the hippest and the coolest band in town. For an older audience, choose a band or jazz singer. The stage however is not the only avenue for fun, you can also have entertainers walking around and blending in. Choose the ones who are well-suited for your theme from stilt walkers or walking jugglers, historical impersonators to mascots and magicians.
- Make memories with a video booth. Social media content is key, so what if you let your guests star in their own social media TVC starring your brand? Your guests become instant brand ambassadors and awareness for your event are amplified even after the event. To spice your event some more, you can also give your audience their first infinity booth experience with GlamShot Infinity and wow them with an immersive infinity backdrop.
