Once a “nice to have”, giveaways have become an expected part of largescale gatherings. Whether the event is a tradeshow, convention, corporate meetings, or a personal event, those in attendance often expect to receive that coveted “swag bag” or other take home items as a reward for their attendance. However, if your event has a strict budget, coming up with affordable giveaways can be challenging.
DIY event giveaways can be the answer to cutting costs. Here are a few different ways that creating DIY personalized items yourself can help your event come in under budget.
Create Custom Bags
Customize fabric tote bags, pencil cases or coin pouches for event attendees to use upon arrival at your event. Fill them with pamphlets, samples, pens and small notepads, personalized lip balm tubes or leave them empty and ready to collect information and more.
Avery Fabric Transfers to customize totes, pouches, t-shirts and other cloth items. Simply choose the right transfer format, then personalize with your branding, inspiring (or amusing) words, or other designs using our FREE Design & Print Online tool!
Purchase Giveaways and Raffle Them Off
Instead of breaking the bank by giving items to all in attendance at your next conference or tradeshow, purchase a handful of items like gift baskets, small electronics, gift cards or other items. Then hold a raffle at various points throughout the event to give the items away.
Create custom-branded raffle tickets using Avery Event Tickets with Tear-Away Stubs. These tickets have perforated stubs and allow for printing on both sides. They are incredibly easy to personalize using our free Design & Print Online tools and are a budget-friendly choice for raffles, event entry, and more.
Create Custom Stickers
Stickers are a fun, easy way to add branding or messaging to event tables and giveaway bags. Create stickers with your corporate branding, or make something with funny sayings, attractive imagery, and much more. Print the stickers on your own using Avery Sticker Project Paper or try our Custom Printed Stickers available in custom or pre-set shapes.
Branded Candles
Candles are an affordable giveaway that can be quickly and easily branded for your business or event. To brand candles, start by choosing the label material best suited to your brand or event! Go with a white label for a classic look, a kraft or hemp label for something with rustic appeal, or even a clear label, for a chic, printed-on look. You can even opt for our specialty Soap & Candle Labels, perfect for direct application to wax!
To personalize, simply create your design or just add a logo with our free, easy-to-use Design & Print Online tool.
Hand Sanitizer
After a long day of networking and shaking hands or sampling new products and enjoying passed snacks, your event attendees are sure to appreciate the availability of some hand sanitizer! Include custom branded mini bottles in giveaway bags or make larger bottles available in designated spaces. It’s an easy way to ensure that event guests stay healthy, especially during cold and flu season!
Water Bottles
Help guests stay hydrated and alert with custom branded bottles of water. While many people do carry their own reusable bottle there remain individuals who may have forgotten their bottle or simply haven’t adopted the habit of bringing a bottle to events. This means you might not need enough water for all in attendance, but it is still a good idea to have some on hand.
Personalizing bottles with event branding or messaging simply could not be easier when you use Avery Durable Wraparound Labels! These versatile labels are scuff and water resistant, which means your labels will stay in place and the ink won’t smudge!
