Product placement is a popular advertising technique used in
movies and TV shows to promote brands or products. However, it is also a
powerful tool that can be used by event marketers to enhance the attendee
experience, generate excitement and engagement, and even generate revenue.
Product placement is the strategic placement of products or
brands within an event – think of your sponsors, vendors and suppliers - in a
way that seamlessly integrates with the attendee experience. When done right,
it can add value to the attendee experience and provide a way for brands to
connect with their target audience in a meaningful way.
Here are some ways that event marketers can make use of
product placement in their events:
Partner with relevant brands
The key to successful product placement is to partner with
brands that are relevant to your event and attendees. For example, if you are
hosting a technology conference, you may want to partner with technology brands
that can showcase their latest products or services to your attendees.
Identify strategic placement opportunities
Once you have identified the brands you want to partner
with, the next step is to identify the strategic placement opportunities within
your event. This can include placing product displays in high-traffic areas, incorporating
product demonstrations into your programming, or integrating products into your
event signage.
Offer sponsorships
Offering sponsorships to brands that want to participate in
your event can be a great way to generate revenue and provide value to your
attendees. For example, you can offer a sponsored lounge area where attendees
can interact with a brand's products, or a sponsored session where a brand can
showcase their products or services to your attendees.
Use social media to amplify the message
Social media is a powerful tool that can be used to amplify
the message of your product placement. Encourage attendees to share photos and
videos of the products on social media, and use branded hashtags to increase
visibility and engagement.
Measure the effectiveness of the product placement
Finally, it's important to measure the effectiveness of your
product placement efforts. This can include tracking social media engagement,
conducting surveys with attendees, or measuring the ROI for your brand partners.
Product placement can be a powerful tool for
event marketers to enhance the attendee experience, generate excitement and
engagement, and even generate revenue. By partnering with relevant brands,
identifying strategic placement opportunities, offering sponsorships, using
social media to amplify the message, and measuring effectiveness, event
marketers can make the most of product placement in their events.
