Branded Games: Your Answer to Interactive Trade Show Booths

Did you know promotional games can also help set your brand apart at your next trade show? Whether you believe it or not, one of the best ways to garner foot traffic to your booth is through interactive games. Custom games are not only appealing. They help break the ice and start conversations with potential clients and customers.

Imagine this: your trade show booth transformed into a bustling hub of activity with a cornhole game branded with your company’s logo front and center, beckoning passersby to join in the fun. Each time a customer drops by, you can offer to play a short game or watch as colleagues play against each other. 

Whether it’s a branded cornhole set inviting friendly competition or a customized Spin ‘N Win wheel for contest prizes, these custom games forge connections that extend far beyond the immediate surroundings. 

They create an interactive and memorable experience, turning your trade show presence into a lively spectacle that captures attention, fosters engagement, and creates a big impression on your audience. So, when the next trade show comes around, let your brand shine as the headliner, leading the way with outdoor branded games that elevate the entire experience.

Work Hard, Play Harder: Fun Games for Employees

Stress and tight deadlines can often cast a shadow in the hustle and bustle of corporate life. But did you know introducing fun games for employees can help boost overall morale?

Consider handing out branded puzzles or playing cards to your team, turning their break times into moments of joy and relaxation. These are not team-building exercises inducing collective eye rolls; they’re about embracing the individual’s need for a quick mental rejuvenation.

From brain-teasing puzzles that stimulate creativity to relaxing adult coloring books that transform employees into budding artists, these simple yet engaging activities are the catalyst behind a motivated and happy workforce. Your brand subtly transitions from being a mere emblem on a paycheck to an unspoken source of daily smiles, fostering a workplace narrative of positivity and vibrancy.

The Grand Finale: Branded Fun’s Return on Investment

Now, you may be thinking ‘okay, branded games sound pretty fun, but what about the return on investment?” Branded fun isn’t just an expense; it’s an investment that pays dividends in smiles, brand loyalty, and a memorable customer journey. The joy and engagement generated by these branded games extend far beyond the playtime, resonating in the minds of your audience long after the game is over.

From social media shares that amplify your brand’s reach to positive word-of-mouth marketing that spreads like wildfire after a trade show, the return on investment for branded fun is the kind of currency that can’t be calculated in numbers alone. It’s measured in the laughter shared, the memories created, and the lifelong connection between your brand and its audience.

Promotional Games Gear Fans up for ‘Scott Pilgrim’

Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, the newest addition to the long list of comics-inspired movies, hits theaters this Friday. If the adorable Michael Cera isn’t enough to get you excited about the film, don’t worry – there’s an app for that! Universal Studios has created a game that is reminiscent of  the classic Nintendo game Mike Tyson’s Punch-Out, in which Scott falls in love with his dream girl and must defeat 7 ex-boyfriends to win her over. Promotional games are an incredibly versatile way to get fans excited about a product or event – from iPhone apps to custom chess sets, this sort of marketing is a practically foolproof way to engage an audience. Having put myself in Scott’s shoes and tried to defeat all of Ramona’s exes in the virtual realm will sure have me rooting for him from my seat in the theater this weekend!
