In the demanding world of events, engaging attendees, while delivering accessibility, and embracing sustainability can be a challenge. While traditional delegate giveaways have been a staple at events of all kinds from exhibitions and conferences to award ceremonies and team building days, they often miss the mark in these areas.
Enter Swagable, the innovative solution revolutionising event swag. Launched at International Confex, Swagable promises a sustainable, inclusive, and trackable alternative to traditional swag bags.
Swagable founder, Catherine Grinyer, identified a gap in the market while organising a virtual conference. With over two decades of experience in events and specialising in inclusive events, she spearheaded the development of Swagable after identifying a gap in the market for a digital swag bag that was accessible and that everyone could use.
The platform allows you to share personalised, useful swag, on behalf of your event , exhibitors and sponsors, enriching the event experience for all event attendees, whether in-person or online.
Curate an unmissable digital swag bag
So, what exactly can you put in your digital swag bag to elevate your event experience? Here are some ideas:
- Event Essentials: Include digital copies of the event agenda, speaker bios, and any relevant materials to enhance attendees’ understanding and engagement.
- Educational Resources: Offer whitepapers, e-books, or online courses related to the event’s theme or industry, providing valuable insights and knowledge.
- Virtual Experiences: Stand out from the crowd and treat your attendees by providing access to virtual yoga classes, meditation sessions, or even app subscriptions that align with the event’s focus or brand’s values.
- Entertainment Options: Add a fun element with streaming access to movies or concerts, accompanied by a pack of popcorn for a cozy movie night experience. Once you have your list, these can be sent out in advance or after the event as a thank you.
- Wellness and Self-Care: Show appreciation for attendees’ well-being with a virtual wellness kit, including items like face masks, room spray, or vouchers for massages work well.
- Sustainable Incentives: Embrace eco-consciousness by offering incentives like planting a tree, sending seeds for gardening, or gifting flowers, promoting sustainability and mindfulness.
- Exclusive Discounts and Gift Cards: Partner with sponsors to provide exclusive discounts or gift cards, adding value for attendees and driving traffic to sponsor offerings.
- Food and Beverage: Treat attendees to a coffee gift card or a food delivery voucher, allowing them to enjoy refreshments during the event or afterwards at home.
A hamper is always a memorable gift and a client recently featured one as a prize giveaway at their event, which they promoted using Swagable:
Brian Burgon Co Founder of EqualEdge, the Workplace Personal Assistant agency, says:
“I used Swagable at a hybrid event that I attended remotely and enjoyed having access to a virtual swag bag. I signed up to receive updates from a couple of the sponsors I was interested in and entered a prize draw for a hamper, which I won and was delivered to me at home. It made my week and certainly made the event memorable for me!”
