State Fairs

Grand Opening Gifts
Get guests excited to stop by the local fair by promising free gifts to the first people to arrive! First, reach out to local businesses and sponsors to see if they’d like to donate branded products for your giveaway. Then, announce on social media that the first 50 attendees will receive a free surprise. Let your sponsors and donors know that since their products will be combined with other local businesses, they’ll only have donate a fraction of the products while still getting all that brand exposure – a win-win for everyone involved.

Food Stand Incentives
There will be lots of vendors selling food and drink at your fair, so ask if they’d like to help pay for their cups and food trays for the trade-off of adding their company logo. This way, you get a break on costs while they get extra advertising. Or, ask if they’d like to invest in branded goodies to pass out to patrons, such as hand sanitizer bottles or hand wipes so they can freshen up after they chow down.

Game on With Giveaways
What’s the best part of state fairs? The games and rides, of course! See if activity booths want to invest in branded toys and prizes, such as stuffed animals, sports balls or other knick-knacks emblazoned with their company logo. They can hand out these items as consolation prizes to participants, even if they don’t win, sure to put a smile of kids’ faces and make families think highly of their company.

Bright Ideas for After Dark
Just because the sun has gone down doesn’t mean the fun has to end. Glowing promos like necklaces, bracelets and glow sticks will be tons of fun for little ones, and will help parents and security keep track of children’s whereabouts. Reach out to vendors and sponsors to see if they’d like to pay for their company logo to be added to these glow-in-the-dark giveaways. Any business that caters to kids would be wise to invest.
