Creative Ways to Distribute Your Promotional Products at Events

Promotional products are more than just freebies!
They’re opportunities to connect and leave a lasting impression.
The way you share your merch matters just as much as what you’re giving

Get creative with distribution strategies to increase your impact and help you get the most out of your promotional products!

At For Keeps, we believe every piece of merch should feel intentional, thoughtful, and worth holding on to. We’re here to help turn moments into memories that stick.

1. Build The Buzz Early

Why wait until the event to start creating excitement?

Use your promotional products to hype up your event before it’s even begun. Nothing builds hype like getting then receiving a package of merch. Give them a little preview of what’s to come.

For example, mailing out exclusive items to key attendees or offering them as incentives for early registration. Creating this hype and want to be a part of your event!

2. Make It Interactive

Engagement is everything.

Turn the process of receiving promotional products into an experience that gets attendees involved.

Games, raffles or prize wheels are fun ways to hand out items while creating an energetic, memorable vibe.

3. Get Personal

Offer that special touch of customisation to make each product a little more personal

Consider offering customisation at your event, like adding attendees’ names to your giveaways in real time.
Creating that emotional connection between your brand and the receiver. Making it more than swag, becoming something the receiver will keep and cherish.

4. Time it just right

Don’t hand out all your promotional products at once, timing can make a big difference.

Save some of your best items for key moments during the event, such as after a keynote speech or during a breakout session.

5. Keep it Exclusive

There’s something special about limited editions. If attendees find out they’re getting a limited edition product. They will view it as a cherished keepsake rather than another generic giveaway.

Create a limited run of premium items, like a stylish tumbler or a hoodie, and distribute them to attendees or those who attend your session.
