Here are our top cost-effective marketing tips to help you with branding and marketing awareness at your next event!
1. Media Wall
Want to make your brand the centre of attention? Media walls are designed to be used as backdrops for photos at events. They also provide you with a great opportunity to showcase not only your brand but also your partner brands. Often this is a great way for you to either leverage for marketing space for sponsors or as an add-on to increasing event income by selling ad space.
Depending on the size requirements of your media wall, these are often a very cheap way to get exposure. If you're looking to fill a huge space using a media wall, other options can be explored such as printed fabric walls, drapes and banners can also fill the needs gap.
Top tips: hire a photographer, or use a staff member to horde people in front of the media wall to capture photos for future media use!
