Monogrammed Leather Gifts at Sprintacular in San Antonio

October 31, 2018 By Desiree Colonna

Monogrammed leather gifts were the highlight of the Sprintacular party for top Sprint salespeople at Knibbe Ranch in San Antonio, Texas. It was a spectacular celebration with monogrammed leather gifts for every guest. Our embossing team of five including 2 Joes, 2 Emilys and 1 Desiree had a great time at the event!

Inkwell Designers℠ was invited to monogram leather keychains, notebooks, passport holders, bracelets and card wallets on-site. Over 450 top Sprint salespeople attended the event with friends and spouses.

We had five embossers hot stamping over 900 leather items for guests who attended. All five embossers stayed almost an hour overtime to ensure everyone received the monogrammed leather gifts they wanted.

Clients could select the exact way they wanted the monogram to read as well as choose the color foil they wanted. Here is an example of one of the keychains we embossed.

Team members were ready to help clients choose the right gift and make it their own with gold and silver foil and a blind deboss option.

Our team was more than happy to make sure guests received their monogrammed leather items exactly the way they wanted them as well as share a smile!

Guests were treated to dinner, dancing with a live band, a hat of their choice and our monogrammed leather gifts to take home after the night was over around 10:30 pm.

They came from all over the country to celebrate their success. When it got dark, they helped the embossers by sharing their flashlights on their phones outside so we could finish every job with perfection!

Everyone had a great time and loved the monogrammed leather gifts activation. Personalized leather gifts are always a hit with any crowd we work with from New York to Los Angeles and yes, down in San Antonio. Even the horses loved it!

We offer monogrammed leather gifts on site at events around the world. We also offer painted leather and engraved gifts.

Personalized Leather Swag at Dreamforce Creates Networking Buzz

September 30, 2018 By Desiree Colonna

Personalized leather swag at Dreamforce created a huge buzz in San Francisco last week. Our personalized leather swag activation table had a 10 to 15 minute wait with lines that never stopped 8 hours a day, 3 days straight. To us, this is normal and happens at almost every event we’re invited to. People love customized leather gifts so much, they are willing to wait for them. We were even more popular than the Godiva® chocolate booth giving away free samples right behind us!

So, you might think waiting in line is a bad thing, but it’s actually pretty magical. As people stand in line, we watched business cards swapped, stories traded and people making contact instead of looking at their phones. At a tech conference, there is something to be said for this. The line got people talking to each other and networking. That is always a huge goal at any conference.

What was a little different about this conference, is our client, Salesforce, requested custom stamps to go along with the monograms. We were able to create two dies, one with Astro, the character they created and one with a campsite line drawing which was the theme of the conference. We can now create custom dies which go with any monogram and can be added at the beginning, end and even the middle. People LOVED them!

We personalized over 2,000 luggage tags and leather charger rolls in three days. At the end of the last day, we had people hanging around our booth until the event closed at 6 pm. Security had to literally escort them out!

Our activation doesn’t take up much space. We just need a 6 ft table and two chairs. We’re very easy to fit in most any footprint at a tradeshow or event.

If you’re looking for a unique experience for your next event, tradeshow or conference, please contact us at 833 465 9311. We’d love to discuss the details or please click here to read more about other ways we can personalized your swag including engraving, painting and calligraphy.

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!

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.
