Water Bottles with Custom Labels: How to Give them Away at Trade Shows

If you are in need of a new promotional item for trade shows, we’re going to tell you why custom label water bottles are the perfect solution – and then, we’re going to tell you exactly who you need to give them to at your next trade show. First, the “why.” This may come as a surprise, but there is a bonafide trade show industry, and that industry spends millions of dollars a year on researching what promotional tactics work best for trade show exhibitors.

Time after time, the researchers conclude that what makes the best impression on trade show attendees is swag (that’s slang for giveaways). But it can’t just be any giveaway items; these items have to be useful, memorable and aligned with the brands that are handing them out. When you take those factors into consideration, what better trade show swag is there than water bottles with custom labels?

Now, remember: You don’t want to just hand these out to everyone. Trade show experts suggest reserving your trade show giveaway items for the following groups:

• Your existing clients

• New contacts who may become prospects

• Ongoing prospects you are seriously pursuing

• Companies you would like to partner with on specific projects

For the more important people on these lists, consider including custom label water bottles with other items such as wearables, drinkware, tote bags, etc. In fact, you can put all of these items into a tote bag. Why not?

Now, a word to the wise: It’s a good idea to keep your bottles cold until you hand them to your recipients. Consider bringing along a mini-refrigerator to the trade show, and if that isn’t an option, you could certainly pre-refrigerate your bottles the night before. Water bottles with custom labels are the ideal trade show giveaway! Now that you know, you can get started on uploading your artwork submissions so that we can get your labels printed, and your bottles labeled, in time for the next trade show.

Using Customized Water Bottles as Promotional Tools

Businesses are always on the lookout for the hottest new promotional items to give away to new customers and prospects, but many of them are overlooking one of the simplest, most effective promotional giveaway items there is: the customized water bottle. Sure, everyone knows water bottles are simple – but how do we know they’re effective? Because market research tells us so.

In 2013, the American Marketing Association conducted a survey that revealed how much consumers appreciate receiving a drinkware item from a business as a promotional tool. Believe it or not, drinkware actually took 19% of the market share for the most effective promotional product tools.
That means it beat out more “traditional” promotional items like baseball caps, pens, magnets and trinkets.

The only promotional item that beat out drinkware was the t-shirt – but let’s face it, everyone knows the t-shirt is hard to beat (even though most people won’t even wear a t-shirt they receive from a business). At least water bottles are consumable! Take note: This survey was not conducted among marketers. Instead, it was sent out to real consumers who receive promotional products from businesses – the exact audience your business needs to reach.

Are customized water bottles considered drinkware? You bet they are, and they are far more practical and cost-effective drinkware items to hand to clients and prospects. After all, most businesses don’t have the budget to have a high end coffee mug printed up for every person who walks in their door. But a customized water bottle? That’s easy, and it makes just as powerful an impression – especially if you hand it to them on a hot summer day! Handing a cold bottle of water with your business logo on it: For the prospect or new client who new comes into the office to meet with you, there’s nothing more impressive – and we have the data to back it up.

Private Label Water for Weddings

When it comes to weddings, personalization is the name of the game these days. That’s why our private labeled water is being ordered for wedding events across the country. With June being the most popular month of the year for weddings, what better time to talk up the great benefits of ordering private label water bottles for you’re the wedding you’re planning? Here are some ideas for times to pass out your personalized wedding water bottles:

The Cocktail Hour

If your wedding has a cocktail hour, it’s important to have enough water on hand for guests who either 1.) don’t drink alcohol, or 2.) have a tendency to drink too much alcohol. The guests who have wine, beer and cocktails will need water to keep themselves hydrated and prevent any unwanted scenarios from occurring anyway – so why not make the water bottles you give them a memento of the event?

The Reception

Of course, everyone will want to have water at the table when dinner is served. Rather than placing a pitcher in the center of the table (this can be annoying to guests who don’t know each other well and don’t want to pass the pitcher around), just give them your private label water bottles instead. Everyone will appreciate that you took an extra step to make them comfortable!

The Arrival

That’s right: We’re talking about before the ceremony! If your wedding is on a hot summer day, this gesture will be appreciated by everyone. As long as it is permissible with your venue, why not? If the wedding is outdoors, then it is almost guaranteed to be allowed – and guests will want water even more outdoors, anyway! No matter when you choose to pass out the private labeled water bottles at your wedding, you can choose a design that personalizes them to reflect you, your fiancé and your style. This is one wedding favor everyone can use!

Why should I customize bottles: A different perspective

Power of an image

“A picture speaks a thousand words” is not just an expression, what we see has an important role in what we think and feel. When we see an image of a baby smiling or a due sprinkled flower what do we feel? A sense of pleasantness, the sensation fills us. Repulsion ensues when gazing upon an unpleasant scene which garners an emotional response.

Make them feel Special

Everyone likes to be treated specially, it may be just a simple gesture but the ramifications may be substantial.  A simple compliment to a new acquaintance you meet makes an impression and stands out from the crowd, when someone feels a pleasantness of emotion, it tends to register. The next time, identification is instant. Similarly, a personalized water bottle may be a simple gesture but the visual identification stands out as the brand and the individual stand out.

The physiological effect

We see countless images on a day to day basis, how many actually creates an impression, very few, why? They are iterations of things we’ve already seen before, during special occasions and business events; something out of the ordinary catches the eye immediately, seeing a personal brand label or a message on a usual item such as a water bottle.

Effect on emotion

People may forget something they’ve seen but not something they’ve felt. There’s constant bombardment of ads and brands everywhere, to stand out there’s a need to get creative and reach out to people at a personal level.

Recycle, for a Better Future

As a culture, we are more environmentally aware than ever - but sometimes, we wonder if we're doing enough. Truth be told, we can't do everything - but we can recycle. Three ways to recycle in your every day life include:

• Use the recycling bin at public establishments (Starbucks has one - use it!)

• Use your city-issued recycling bin at home for plastics, glass bottles and paper products

• Buy from companies that practice environmental responsibility

One such company is Riviera Beverages, of course! We use recycled polyethylene terephthalate (rPET) and polyethylene terephthalate (PET), which are widely known to be environmentally responsible bottling materials. In fact, using recycled rPET and PET equals lightweight bottles with 50% less plastic than the standard water bottle. That's remarkable! If the event you want customized water bottles for is an environmentally conscious corporate or charity event - or, you want personalized water bottles for a green wedding - then what better supplier to choose than Riviera Beverages? We offer customization and environmental responsibility; it's a win-win!

What We Do at Riviera Beverages

In the business world, the term “personal branding” is used quite frequently. In short, it means promoting something that is unique and exclusive about the individual or company. Branding is how today’s businesses make the biggest impression, and at Riviera Beverages, we offer a simple, yet profound way to do this by personalizing water bottles.

Why water bottles? They’re already a necessity when it comes to events and special occasions, so providing your private brand label or a cool message on the bottle is a sure way of getting noticed.

During Special Events

Unique art work or a personal note on water bottles sends a positive message – and make no mistake, it also sends a message of inclusion and a sense of personal connection.

Weddings

During weddings, couples focus on making every little detail special. Extra care is exercised while choosing the menu, so why not let that attention to detail extend to the water? Quality water is something that is taken for granted, but not at Riviera Beverages. Our watering facilities are FDA approved; the mineral water we bottle is of the highest quality standards.

Private Labeled Water

In business, the key to repeat customers is personal initiatives that make the customers believe that they are valuable to the company. Companies can offer labeled water bottles as an incentive, and the impression it creates will be reciprocated by the customer by giving more business.

Environmentally Conscious Events

Galas and conferences are generally focused on a specific issue. A custom label regarding the issue is a powerful way to send across the message to each participant. If it’s an awareness event about the environment, you can print a message on the bottle, “This bottle is made out of recycled plastic,” as Riviera Beverages uses recycled plastic. There are tons of ideas!

Personalized Water Bottles that Work for Your Event

“Water, water, everywhere, not a drop to drink” may have been the case centuries ago, but not in the present day. Thanks to modern day marketization and the environmental conscientiousness of consumers, water is a sustainable resource that is sold freely.

What is the image that comes to our minds when we think of drinking water? Water bottles, right? Pretty much! Plastic water bottles are our “unsung sidekick” now; for most of us, it has become impossible to imagine our life without water bottles. In fact, it has become expected for event hosts to provide bottled water to guests. If you are hosting an event, you need to provide your guests water anyways – so why not personalize the bottles to leave a lasting impression?

Branding Water

Special occasions such as weddings, charity galas and business events call forth a need for cases upon cases of water bottles; it just makes sense to go that extra mile for a personal touch. You can personalize water bottles with:

• Your brand name, if you are a company

• Your personal names, if you are a bride and groom

• The name of your event, if you are hosting a charity fundraiser

Environmentally Sound

Are you or your organization worried about environmental impact? The good news is, Riviera Beverages uses recycled plastic bottles and quality mineral water on its personalized water bottles.

At Riviera Beverages, we make personalized water bottles that work for your event. Contact us today to learn more!
