Items for Meeting Promotion Often to ensure attention will be given to the meeting announcement, a small useful item will be sent like a Letter Opener (”Open New Horizons at the Fall Conference”) or a Computer Screen Sweep (”Sweep Up Some New Ideas at Our Spring Meeting”). One association sent Foam Puzzles with a piece missing telling members to get the full picture by attending the upcoming meeting. |
Harmonious Events Don’t Just Happen. They Are Planned
|
Items for Event Follow-Up Along with written evaluations, many event planners offer the conference attendees, vendors, and guests an appreciation gift. These could be small desktop type items (Markers, Paper Clip Dispensers, etc.) Others have used apparel or business accessories. Company Casuals is a good apparel source http://www.companycasuals.com/ Leed’s Business Accessories has a great line of conference pads and briefcases http://www.leedsworld.com/
