Leather Stamping at Gentleman Jack Whiskey Sour Event in Atlanta

August 26, 2018 By Desiree Colonna

Leather stamping was the hit of the party at the National Whiskey Sour Day event hosted by Jack Daniel’s Gentleman Jack at Upstairs Atlanta. Guests loved the activation as much as we enjoyed working with them. Leather embossing is a new type of service most people have never seen before and works well at events such as this one. We can say the leather coasters paired well with the whiskey sours served at the party!

We hand stamped 150 leather coasters in three hours for guests with silver and gold foil. People loved the leather stamping and seeing their names in silver and gold foil on the coasters supplied by our client.

The party was an afternoon soiree hosted by Jack Daniel’s Gentleman Jack. There were several activations, including a magician, but our leather stamping table had the longest line during the entire event. That’s typical when we bring our leather embossing machine to parties and events around the globe.

Our hot foil leather stamping activation is easy and quick to set up (literally 15 minutes) and we can go anywhere. We’ve traveled all over the country bringing this fun experience to guests for many companies such as MillerCoors, Dark Horse Wines and EJ Gallo.

We were honored to be part of this fun and private event in Atlanta and we’re looking forward to our next event with Gentleman Jack in the future.

Embossed Moleskine Notebooks RSA Archer Conference in Nashville

August 19, 2018 By Desiree Colonna

Embossed Moleskine notebooks were the “must have swag” at the RSA Archer Conference in Nashville. We embossed leather notebooks with monograms at the conference in the Edgile booth. This was our third technology conference working with this client and we had a great time. We had lines between every session both days as word got around about the embossed notebooks.

Visitors to the Edgile booth loved the activation. Once word got out, the lines never slowed down or stopped. We embossed 300 Moleskine notebooks in a day and a half and even ran out the morning of the 2nd day.

One of the speakers, futurist David Houle, was very impressed. David came back to our booth just to do a video about his experience with our embossed Moleskine notebooks. He’s been to over 100 conferences on 6 continents and has never seen this type of cool swag before! He loved it as you can see in the video below.

This type of reaction is common when we emboss leather items or engrave at events. “People love the personalization of this high-quality swag because it makes them feel so special.” states Inkwell Designers℠ CEO, Desiree Colonna. “Seeing their name or initals in gold or silver foil gives booth visitors a feeling unlike no other swag out there can. It makes them feel as if they really do matter. Plus it gets people to stick around the booth long enough for the sales team to peak their interest in their company. It’s a win-win for everyone!”

This activation has been so successful for the Edgile team, we’ve literally become a serious part of their event marketing strategy. Edgile created branded clothing just for Inkwell and they have also hired us for many other events with more to come this year.

If you’re interested in having us emboss, engrave, paint or do calligraphy at your next event, please see more details on this page or call us directly at 833 465 9311. We’d love to bring this successful activation to life in your booth and help you create the most popular “must have item” at the event. We promise you’ll see long lines the entire time and have a nice, full database of emails at the end of the event.

Custom Baseball Gloves at Fox Sports All Star Game VIP Event

July 26, 2018 By Desiree Colonna

Custom baseball gloves were the most sought after gift at the Fox Sports All Star Game VIP Event. Inkwell Designers℠ was on hand to add custom embossing and calligraphy to all attendees baseball gloves before the big game in Washington D. C.

The event was held at Due South, a restaurant near Nationals Stadium. The weather was hot and muggy but everyone was still excited and energized before the big game.

We had been contacted just days before the event to participate when Jeff Pofsky, owner of JNP Merchandising, contacted our CEO, Desiree Colonna. He had read on our event calendar we were already going to be there working another event over the weekend for Coca Cola and saw a chance to have us work his company’s event for Fox Sports the following Tuesday night.

Desiree and her daughter, Emily, were happy to stay a couple extra days in order to create custom baseball gloves for all of the VIP attendees. The event was held right next to a beautiful dock as the sunset over the water. The venue was beautiful!

Attendees loved the custom baseball gloves and some even got two or three for friends and family members who play baseball.

The event was a big hit and the customized baseball gloves were a big part of it. Desiree and Emily personalized over 150 gloves during the 4 hours they were there.

If you’re looking for someone to personalize yours or a child’s baseball glove, we’re here to help. People send gloves to us every day from all over the country. We love making our clients feel special, especially children.

Please contact us at 833 465 9311 for your next event or to get your personal item embossing or engraved. We love to meet you in person or work with you virtually. You get the same superior service either way.

Thank you to Jeff and Fox Sports for inviting us to this event. We had a great time and we’re so glad the guests loved it!

Leather Baseball Glove Engraving at the MLB All Star Game Summer Riverfest

July 17, 2018 By Desiree Colonna

Leather baseball glove engraving was a very popular activation we brought to the Major League Baseball All Star Game Summer Riverfest in Washington, D.C. The event was sponsored by Coca-Cola® who graciously flew our Inkwell team into Washington D.C. to participate in the two-day event at The Yards Park.

Our CEO, Desiree Colonna, brought her daughter, Emily along to work at the event.

Our company was invited by a local Washington D.C. marketing and public relations firm because they were impressed by our current portfolio of leather baseball glove engraving. We currently hand engrave and emboss 5 to 10 baseball mitts each week for both kids and adults around the country. People send us their baseball mitts for personalization and we turn them around within 48 hours.

Leather baseball glove engraving is so much more than just a personalization tool. Parents tell us if a child’s name is permanently engraved on their baseball mitt, they are much more unlikely to have the baseball glove stolen during the season. Plus, it gives a child confidence seeing their name on the baseball glove. (We’ve had adults in leagues tell us the same thing!)

We engraved with a pyrography pen and hand painted (black baseball gloves don’t show the burn so we have to use a paint pen with a special permanent sealer) over 50 gloves during this weekend event. Everyone enjoyed the final designs. One parent called her daughter’s coach who booked us for another leather baseball glove engraving event right on the spot!

We were also asked hand engrave and personalize other items people brought up to us or dug out of their bags such as belts, purses, wallets and yes, even a sandal! We were happy to help out as the pictures show below.

We enjoyed being part of such a large event in our nation’s capital. We even had the honor to be asked to stay another night to perform our leather baseball mitt engraving activation at a private VIP party for a large sports network.

We can engrave and personalize baseball gloves anywhere we can find an electrical outlet. We even have our own generator we can use at sporting events around the country. Our footprint doesn’t take up much space and takes less than 15 minutes to set up.

We even enjoyed some beautiful sunsets in Washington D.C.

If you’re interested in having us engrave baseball gloves at your next little league game or sporting event, please contact us at 833 465 9311 or fill out this form. We’d love to work with you and bring this fun and friendly activation to your kids or adults of all ages!

Shoe Embossing for ECCO® Atlanta In-Store Events

June 29, 2018 By Desiree Colonna

Shoe embossing is not a regular request from our corporate clients, but it sure is gaining popularity. This year alone we’ve embossed over 100 shoes for Tory Burch in Chicago and Dallas and now ECCO® USA shoes in Atlanta combined. Shoe embossing wasn’t something we felt we could do, but we always surprise ourselves with our own ingenuity. For ECCO we used leather lace tags which we embossed. This allowed people to emboss their shoes no matter what color they chose.

Gina contacted us a few months ago when ECCO was launching it’s latest style of shoes called True Indigo. This leather is not unlike a new pair of blue jeans. The leather actually wears and fades just like denim and is so comfortable.

The store manager wanted to do a two-day activation in their Lenox Mall store in Atlanta where we embossed shoe tags for customers who exclusively bought the True Indigo shoes. We were happy to help and they quickly sent us some shoe tags to emboss as a sample.

Our Master Embosser and CEO, Desiree Colonna, personally worked both shoe embossing events.

Desiree was even gifted with her own pair of True Indigo shoes which are featured in the first picture of this post. She loves them and wears them all the time. “Most comfortable shoes I own and yes, they have my name on them!”

Our set up took only a very small space in the store using one table near and electrical outlet.

All in all, the shoe embossing event was a success for the brand and for the store. Clients loved the personalization and the company has already hired Inkwell Designers℠ for other corporate projects.

If you want something different to introduce your footwear brand, shoe embossing is something to consider. We don’t take up much space and people love the experience. Please contact us at 833 465 9311. We’d love to discuss your options. Or fill out this form to learn more about how we can help you.

Personalized Journal Stamping for Nationwide Insurance at Black Enterprise Summit

June 18, 2018 By Desiree Colonna

Personalized journal stamping was the most popular marketing activation in the Nationwide Insurance booth at the Black Enterprise Summit in Charlotte, North Carolina. We hot foil stamped guest’s initials on custom leather journals for two straight days, averaging 150 journals per day, a total of 300 journals.

Nationwide booth guests love the personalized journal stamping and stood in line to wait their turn. It didn’t take very long, 5 to 10 minutes at most when the lines were the longest. (We stamped journals twenty times faster than the guy who had a laser machine across the convention center!) However it gave our salespeople in the booth a chance to give every attendee a survey and get them on their corporate email list. That’s gold at a conference!

We average less than one minute per item when we emboss at events around the country. People don’t have to wait very long but they love watching the personalization done right in front of them with a very old-fashioned looking machine.

What was really fun was to see attendees network with each other in line. There were a lot of business cards handed out and stories traded in the time they were waiting.

Our personalized journal stamping activation doesn’t take up much space. We fit into even the smallest booth with a 6 to 8 foot table and two chairs. Our embossing machine is a tabletop machine which can easily travel anywhere we go.

Nationwide contacted us through their event marketing company to help them bring something different to their guests a few months ago. They loved the idea of custom leather journals.

Guests loved seeing their monograms on the leather journals. Some even got a few for friends and family as well as other team members in their office who couldn’t make it to the event.

Nationwide also offered free headshots for all attendees which they received immediately on a USB after the photo shoot.

The Black Enterprise Summit was a great event. We enjoyed seeing the city of Charlotte, NC for the first time. It was absolutely beautiful.

If you’re interested in having us personalize journals at your next event, please go to our event page to learn more about our services. We also offer on-site event engraving, hand painting and other personalization activations. For more details call us at 833 465 9311. We’d love to work with you at your next event!
