HAVE FUN, PLAY OUTSIDE
Whether you are a sponsor of the holiday 5k, a benefit walk or an outdoor craft/music fair or planning a huge company picnic, there are lots of great messaging options. Don’t leave impression to chance or wait till the day before to get ready. Your impact can be much more memorable! Check out these 5 outdoor event strategies and decide which fit the look and function you need:
- PREPARE THE WAY Identify designated areas, provide wayfinding, advertise a special promotion with A-frame Signs, banners, or even luminaries at night.
- GO VERTICAL Teardrop-, block- or feather-shaped graphics flags make a visual vertical impact above the crowds. Going tall provides high impact messaging from a distance. Its easy to find products ranging from 6’-20’. Don’t be intimidated. Most options are easy to set up. You can choose a spike for placement in the grass or a cross base for use on paved ground.
- BLOW IT UP Frame the entrance to your special event with inflatable arches or use an air dancer to help drive traffic to the featured attraction.
- COMMUNICATE Outdoor X Stands are a great way to increase your touch points and advertise a special product, promotion or upcoming event. The base holds water or sand to keep it stable no matter the weather.
- BRAND SPACE Create a branded space to build relationships and hand out promotional material or products with portable aluminum tents.
With some advance planning, your event can leave a last lasting impression on all those who attend, one that builds brand equity and loyalty.
