Buying Guide

How to choose the right promotional products for outdoor events

Start by thinking about how people will move around your event.   If you're managing entry, branded wristbands are essential. If guests will be eating or drinking, reusable cups provide practical value throughout the day. Large outdoor spaces benefit from feather flags that improve visibility, while comfort items such as fans, ponchos and deck chairs enhance the visitor experience.   It's often more effective to choose a small range of complementary products than to spread your budget across too many different items.  

What is the typical budget?

Budgets vary depending on event size, but a useful guide is:   • £0.20–£1 per attendee for wristbands and small giveaways. • £1–£5 per attendee for reusable drinkware and practical accessories. • £40–£150+ for larger branded items such as feather flags and promotional deck chairs that can be reused across multiple events.   Many organisations build a reusable event kit that delivers value over several seasons.  

What should you avoid?

Avoid these common mistakes:   • Ordering products without considering how they'll be used during the event. • Leaving artwork approval until the last minute. • Choosing products purely on price rather than durability, especially for items you'll use repeatedly.
