This is such a perfect time to show your customers, partners and event attendees some extra love with personalized gifts. Katie shares some innovative ideas in this episode!

Katie is a marketing and branding specialist. Her focus is using your brand values to create physical products that will make an impact for your customer. She loves to dig into marketing challenges and find solutions! She knows the right apparel, promotional products, print, and eCommerce solutions will make a lasting impression on your ideal customer.

With physical events pivoting to virtual this year, Her business has led the way in creating "swag in hand" experiences kitted and delivered to each attendee's home! Just because we can't be in person doesn't mean you can't host a memorable, engaging and successful event.

Swag boxes can entice early registration, incentivize high end ticket sales, build anticipation for the event, engage the attendees during the event, and create lasting memories after the event is complete. They support the entire project through idea generation, product selection, fulfillment, and kitting, even using eCommerce tools to allow attendees to select their swag preferences/sizes and enter their delivery address!
