The success of an event depends entirely on the items you use to promote it and make it memorable. Many different items can help you spread the word about the event, but not many can also be fun and creative and bring people joy. Custom beach balls combine all three and make for perfect printed products, no matter the occasion.
Below, we will list 20 creative ways for you to use beach balls to your advantage and promote your business and event. Read on!
1. A Fun Contest
People love contests and guessing games, especially if there is also a prize included. For this game, you need to create a little enclosure from chicken wire or plastic and fill it with beach balls. Make sure that you count how many balls you have, though!
The game works like this: people guess how many beach balls you have in the enclosure. The one who is the closest to the actual number wins a prize. If someone guesses the exact number, they can get an even bigger prize or a beach ball to take home along with the regular one.
2. Ball Pathway
Apart from using them for games and promo, you can also use beach balls to make your event more colourful and interesting. One way of doing that is to create a beach ball pathway leading to the room where your event will take place.
Put stakes into the ground at intervals of your choosing, and secure the balls to them. Then, run colourful ribbons between the stakes, and you’re done. You’ll attract many visitors and make your event seem joyous and exciting.
3. Generating Traffic
Position groups of people at the entrance to your event and have them kick or throw the balls back and forth. It will generate significant traffic to the event because people are often drawn to games and fun activities.
4. Do a Beach Vacation Giveaway
Advertising your business by doing a giveaway is always a good idea. You can tie beach balls into it quite nicely if you decide to gift a fun beach vacation to a lucky winner.
Take photos of branded caps and the balls, use tiki torches, sun umbrellas, ice cream, as well as any other beach-related items you want. The images can serve as the ad for the giveaway. If you make sure your logo features prominently on the balls, you’ll also get great promo for your business or event.
5. Invite People to Bring their Families to Your Event
If you think of games that will be interesting to children and include them in your event, people will likely bring their whole families to you. You can do this easily with beach balls: let them play frisbee, volleyball, soccer, or a game of hot potato, and you’ll have a fun and bustling event no one will soon forget.
6. An Easter Egg Hunt
Put vouchers or coupons for your business into small easter eggs and place them in a small pool. Then, fill the rest of it with beach balls of varying sizes. Have people search for the easter eggs, and you’ll get an exciting activity and great promo.
7. Beach Delivery
Deliver flyers or brochures about your business to your customers and add complimentary beach balls to the mix. You will make the gift much more interesting and fun.
8. Advertise Your Event
Leave beach balls around the city in the days or weeks leading up to your event. You can place them in parks, on benches, around parking lots, and any other populated areas. That way, people will see them and find out about your event on their own.
Of course, make sure you don’t litter. Pick up the remaining balls after the event is over.
9. Social Media Posts
Fill your socials with pics of your employees playing with beach balls and having fun. They will catch the attention of potential customers and make your event seem exciting.
10. A Beach Ball Postal Service
Tell your customers to write a note for someone they love. Then, you can deliver that note along with a free beach ball for a small fee you will donate to charity.
11. Free Beach Balls
Everyone loves freebies. If you give away free beach balls with your branding at your event, people will remember you for a long time after.
12. Use Local Outdoor Concerts to Your Advantage
Visit local outdoor concerts and give the organisers some branded beach balls they can give the crowd during the shows. They will have fun with them, and your logo will be seen by a lot of people.
13. Teamwork Is Important
Join forces with some other business in your area so that you can advertise each other. Have them show your beach balls at the event while you have signs with their ads at yours. That way, you will extend your customer reach significantly.
14. Hanging Beach Balls
Hang beach balls from the ceilings at your company building prior to the event. It will be a great way to advertise your event, and it will make your office more colourful.
15. Donate Beach Balls
You can donate personalised beach balls to different parks, recreation or community centres, kids’ camps, and other places with limited funding. They will use the balls for all kinds of fun activities, and you’ll get free promo for your event and business.
16. Beach Gift Bags
Showing your appreciation for the customers that are always by your side supporting you is important. You can do so by sending them thoughtful little gift bags. Include sunscreen, a pair of branded sunglasses, and a beach ball, and you’ll get a fun and useful present everyone will love.
17. Picture Ad
Arrange beach balls into a specific shape or form letters and words with them. Then, take a picture of your creation from above and post them to your social media. You can also use those pics as your banners by adding your logo and contact info to them.
18. Another Easter Egg Hunt
Hide beach balls all over the city, and have people look for them. Place a few special ones in certain places and award prizes to those who find them. Of course, make sure you get permission to do this from town officials.
19. A Beach Ball Dance
Hire a local dance group to choreograph a dance involving your branded beach balls. Capture it on video, and then use the video as an ad on social media or the local TV station.
20. Go Old-School
Some traditional advertising is always welcome. To spread the word about your event, all you need to do is walk around town wearing your company’s logo on a T-shirt and hand out free beach balls to people. Tell them about your event in the process, and you’ll attract a lot of people to your event effortlessly.
