U.S. Music Festivals – A Perfect Stage To Make Your Message Well Heard!

Music festivals draw thousands of spectators and ensure pure bliss and fun for music fans. These high octane events also set a great perfect platform for businesses to highlight their brand and build up a buzz!

Though we are in the last lap of the year, there is still a lot more music and foot thumping excitement in the air. From the much hyped about Voodoo New Orleans, to Austin City limits, Aftershock festival and a lot more, there still is a lot of musical fare on the cards. For businesses, music festivals indeed offer a great opportunity to see and to be seen!

Here are a few ideas to cleverly include custom gifts in your promotions. Take a closer look to understand the possibilities.

For Band members

T shirts,  and hoodies are some of the most common promotional products that can be considered in very large music festivals. The stage crew can wear these as their brand icons while these can be sold for a price for the music lovers as souvenirs. Get these custom gifts to promote bands, the entire show or the sponsors. The die-hard fans will love to wear these for a long time while they become walking billboards for your message.

• Lanyards

Though lanyards may not be as popular as T shirts, these too enjoy a fair share of publicity in mega musical festivals. Lanyards  can be used as identification or entry pass for authorized working crew or backstage pass holders. Lanyards indeed offer a lot of branding opportunity.

• Drinkware

Another smart way for businesses that have sponsored the musical events is to imprint their brand and message on the drinkware items like paper cups and containers. Your brand will get plenty of brand exposure every time refreshments are served up during the show.

High visibility custom items

Event tents and display boards are the other promotional items that the sponsors will find interesting. Need some freebies for the attendees?  Look for something interesting like guitar shaped keychains or bandannas that they will find useful in their everyday lives.

• Tech accessories

Mobile communications and tech companies often attend music festivals to notch up their brand popularity by a few decibels and make some new leads. Custom tech accessories like earbuds, wireless speakers and powerbanks are some of the meaningful handouts that complement their business since music is the main focus here.

Nonprofits

Non profits and charity organizations participate in music events to drum up support and let the world know about their activities. People often tend to more generous when they are in a light hearted mood and after downing a few beers – so it will be a good try! Non profits can reach out to a large crowd with budget friendly promotional items and create new channels of resources for their activities.  Think of unique handouts like musical note stress relievers that will make an apt reminder for the event.

Environmentalists can think of gifts like wooden and recycled pens or notepads that will complement their line of activity and inspire the audience to be eco-conscious in their lives while reminding about their brand.

Retail Vendors

Musical events bring in a lot of retail vendors that offer unique products and services. Though they might not make any sale, it will make it possible for them to reinforce their brand popularity and get their message out into a wider audience. Think of something budget friendly and popular like business card magnets, which will make its way straight to the refrigerator doors of the attendees. Your contact information imprinted on these will remain in pain view and they will surely come back to you when they need your products next time.

Whether you are a big sponsor or someone trying to get a toe-hold for his brand, huge musical events will go a long way in achieving your marketing goals. If you have a brand plus love of good music, it will make a great combination to work with!
