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.

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!

Leather Monogramming Event for Dark Horse Canned Wine Launch Tour

June 1, 2018 By Desiree Colonna

We brought a special touch to the Canned Wine Launch Tour hosted by Dark Horse Wines (a product of EJ Gallo Winery) with our leather monogramming event experience. The launch tour was a great way to introduce distributors and Gallo salespeople to the new canned wine product which launched in May.

Inkwell Designers℠ leather monogramming event team was invited to attend rooftop events in Minneapolis, Chicago, Dallas and Tampa. Our team was able to watch our Atlanta Braves play the Tampa Bay Rays at the stadium after the event which they really enjoyed! The weather was beautiful as you can see from the pictures below.

We traveled with the Dark Horse marketing team to each private leather monogramming event and monogrammed on beautiful leather koozies created by a company called Rustico and branded with the Dark Horse Wine logo.

Guests were able to choose any monogram they wanted with a choice of silver, gold, black and rose gold or no foil (deboss).

The leather monogramming event was a big hit with guests. People loved the on-site experience of having their leather koozies personalized right in front of them. We had long lines at every event but we were able to get everyone done. We monogrammed an average of 100 koozies per event.

The Canned Wine Launch Tour was a success both for Dark Horse Wines and Inkwell Designers. We were honored to work with the brand and we’re already looking forward to more events in the future.

If you have an event coming up and you’d like to have your guests experience our on-site leather monogramming or engraving, please contact us at 833 465 9311. We’d love to send a proposal and see if we’re a good fit. Our team is a lot of fun to work with and we’re very fast. We only take up a 6 ft space so our footprint is fairly small. We’d love to make your next event even more memorable with a great giveaway that makes people feel special.

Leather Foil Stamping at Mercedes Benz New USA Headquarters in Atlanta

May 30, 2018 By Desiree Colonna

Leather foil stamping is one of our most requested services for on-site corporate events. Most recently, we were asked to set up a live leather foil stamping station at the new Mercedes Benz USA headquarters in Atlanta. Two embossers worked on-site to create personalized leather computer cases for 400 employees over two, three-hour days. The Mercedes marketing team wanted a unique experience for employees and asked us to monogram each case at the new HQ in Sandy Springs.

The $90 million facility encompasses nearly 200,000 square feet and will ultimately house 1,000 employees.

To welcome the new USA Mercedes Benz headquarters employees to their office, the marketing team handed out computer cases to everyone. We came in a few days after the opening and performed live leather foil stamping in the common area on the first floor, right by the cafeteria. (You couldn’t miss us!) The employees loved watching how we set up each individual computer case and the type in our machines. Some people stood and watched for a good ten minutes while we worked hard to make sure everyone got their computer case monogrammed by the end of the day.

The Mercedes employee’s loved the personalization and couldn’t believe we were able to get all the computer cases done the same day they brought them to us. We monogrammed their cases with silver foil which looked gorgeous with the silver Mercedes Benz logo on the front. The results were very elegant. We encountered many happy employees during our two day event. People loved the experience and couldn’t wait to show their friends their newly monogrammed case.

We really enjoyed looking at the cars parked in strategic places in the beautiful new offices and were so tempted by the beautiful machines.

This one was a favorite. It was marked No. 61 in the line. Pretty amazing to think where Mercedes is now compared to how they started out.

We enjoyed our leather foil stamping event with Mercedes Benz and we were able to get every computer case done in the six hours we worked on site. We were also very honored to be part of this opening day event for the new Atlanta office space.

If you would like to set up a similar type of event at your corporate office, please see more details about how we do it here. Then give us a call at 833 465 9311 to talk about personalizing your event. We’d love to make your employees feel special and leather foil stamping on site is guaranteed to bring a smile to their faces!
