If you want to promote a sustainability at your event but do not want it to seem boring (the topic can be a little dry), here are some fun ideas you can incorporate in your next event to educate your guests about the importance of sustainability, without losing their attention midway!
#1 “Bring Your Own”…
Prior to the event, you can promote a “Bring-Your-Own Mug” initiative, which would look something like this:
This will help you reduce plastic or paper cup usage at your events, which could significantly lower your carbon footprint.
You could reward those who bring their own mugs with free drinks or ticket discounts, to incentivise your guests to participate in this initiative. You could even switch it up, “Bring Your Own” Plate, Spoon, Napkin… Anything!
#2 Do-It-Yourself (DIY) Fringe Activities
Another activity that will definitely keep your guests interested during your event would be hands-on activities. Some sustainable ideas would be letting them design their own mugs, cup sleeves and creating their very own mason jar terrarium. The sky is limitless, explore your options!
These DIY activities will increase interaction and attention by getting their creative juices flowing. After the event, they are able to take their product home and will be able to use them, which would remind them of your event. The benefits do not just stop there. These activities would increase the chance of your guests publicising the event on social media with their finished products, which could be a form of promotion for your future events.
#3 Personalised, Eco-Friendly Gifts
At the beginning of the event, you could wow them with a seamless, tech-centred registration system. You could check-in your guests with a QR code and instantaneously print out personalised name badges that are made of eco-friendly, tear resistant material. This quick and efficient process is sure to capture your guests’ attention and establish that you are a digitally advanced and sustainable business. You could also gift them a set of eco-friendly cutlery or water bottle with your company logo on it, or add your guests’ name for a more personal touch!
Memorable events are retold, from your customer to your next potential customer. What kind of experiences are being told about your event? That is up to you.
