Best Promotional Merchandise for Outdoor Corporate Events

Over the warmer summer months, firms really enjoy hosting corporate events

outdoors. Not only does this encourage attendance from staff and visitors

who enjoy the opportunity to mingle in a more relaxed setting, but being in

nature has very real well-being benefits.

You can maximise these benefits by arranging a package of promotional

merchandise that will help your attendees feel comfortable, welcomed and

ready to participate in the events that you have planned.

Whether you're organising a staff sports day, an outdoor networking event or

a charity fundraiser, here are some of the top promotional merchandise

options that will set your event apart, creating a genuinely fun and

memorable occasion.

1. Comfortable seating

Not everyone who attends an outdoor event will remember to bring a picnic

blanket or folding chair and if your space does not have fixed seating

infrastructure, offering inflatable or folding chairs, outdoor cushions and

beanbags or padded picnic blankets, all emblazoned with your business logo,

is a brilliant way to encourage attendees to make themselves at home and to

stay put for as long as possible.

2. Sun protection

Because the British weather is so variable, many people will attend an

outdoor event without appropriate sun protection, so it's a great idea to

have a stock of branded sun lotions, sun hats, sunglasses and sun shawls

available for your guests to use if they need them during the event. Most

people will keep these products for future use too, meaning they will have a

lasting memento of your event and continue to advertise your business long

after the event is over.

3. Bags

A bag is always welcome, whether it is a stylish straw beach bag, a

lightweight drawstring bag or a rucksack. Being able to carry your

possessions in comfort is important for anyone, so offering a bag as a

freebie at your outdoor corporate event is a great way of encouraging

visitors to attend.

4. Catering

Although you may be planning to lay on a buffet or a barbecue, there are

always ways to brand your catering products. For example, drinks bottles can

be labelled with your business name and logo, while edible wafer paper

bearing your logo is a great way of personalising your cake selections.

Branded catering also looks great on your socials, leaving a lasting

reminder of the event for the attendees and will encourage others to attend

the next one.

5. Games

Finally, inject some fun into your event with some games - you could induce

nostalgia with school sporting events or test your team's mettle with a

general knowledge quiz. These need not be complicated, and you can even give

away promotional merchandise as prizes if you want to. 

The right products will make your event memorable and successful. For help
