Don’t just show up. Be remembered.

Trade shows and exhibitions are expensive.

From booth setup and travel to team time and marketing, brands invest lakhs to show up at high-stakes industry events. But after all the noise, how many prospects actually remember you — let alone follow up?

That’s the gap smart companies are now solving with strategic event gifting.

Not generic pens and keychains.

Not one-size-fits-all swag bags.

But thoughtful, branded, and trackable gifting that turns booth visitors into loyal leads.

Let’s explore how to do that right — and how AppreZen’s EventEdge makes it seamless.

The Problem: Most Event Gifting Fails

Here’s what most companies do:

  • Last-minute giveaways sourced from 3 vendors on WhatsApp
  • Cheap merch that nobody uses
  • No branding, no personalization, no post-event follow-up
  • And zero tracking of who took what

Sound familiar?

The result? You spent ₹1 lakh on giveaways, and no one remembers you.


The Fix: Event Gifting That Builds Brand Recall

Smart gifting isn’t about giving more. It’s about giving better — with strategy, relevance, and systemized delight.

Here’s how to create that:

1. Pre-Event Outreach Kits

Send personalized invites, teaser gifts, or ZenBoxes before the event to high-value prospects.
→ Builds curiosity and shows you’re serious about the relationship.

2. Branded On-Ground Merchandise

From t-shirts and booth kits to pens, pouches, and tech items — make sure everything reflects your brand’s aesthetic and values.
→ Consistency = Credibility.

3. Gamified Lead Capture + QR Gifting

Instead of “Drop your card in the bowl,” use QR-based redemption:

  • Visitors scan a QR to get a surprise voucher or mini gift
  • You capture verified leads and phone numbers
  • They get a delight moment they remember
4. Post-Event Gifting Flows

Send thank-you vouchers, emails, or curated ZenBoxes after the event — segmented by lead quality.
→ The follow-up is the conversion engine.
