BENEFITS

Why bring live printing to your event?

ATTRACT MORE ATTENDEES

Live printing gives people a reason to stop, watch, and stick around. Turn your booth or activation into a destination instead of something attendees simply walk past.

GENERATE LEADS

Turn the giveaway into an exchange of value. Live printing can be incorporated into your lead-capture strategy, giving attendees an incentive to connect with your brand before receiving their custom item.

CREATE MORE TIME TO CONNECT

While guests choose their design and watch their item being printed, your team has a natural opportunity to start conversations, demonstrate products, answer questions, and build relationships.

MAKE YOUR SWAG MORE VALUABLE

Instead of handing everyone the same promotional item, guests choose something for themselves and watch it being created. That participation can make the finished piece feel more personal and worth keeping.

EXTEND YOUR BRAND BEYOND THE EVENT

The experience ends, but the merchandise doesn't. Branded apparel and other useful items can continue putting your name in front of people whenever they're worn or used.

CREATE AN EXPERIENCE THEY'LL REMEMBER

People may forget another booth or standard giveaway. Watching their own merchandise being printed gives them a story and a tangible reminder connected to your event.

WHAT COULD LIVE PRINTING DO FOR YOUR EVENT?

From packed trade show floors and brand activations to employee celebrations, weddings, and private events, live printing can be tailored to the experience you want to create.
