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.

Calligraphy Painting on Faux Leather Beauty Event at Saks Fifth Avenue

October 7, 2018 By Desiree Colonna

Calligraphy painting on faux leather items is a very popular service at on-site events, especially during Saks Fifth Avenue #beautyweek. The Atlanta Saks store manager called and wanted us to create a unique personalization using calligraphy painting as we had for her store a few months back. Our calligraphy was such a hit in the Spring, they wanted us to create this activation for them again during the Fall. The faux leather bags were a gift with a $150 purchase in the beauty department.

People lined up to have their bags personalized with our calligraphy painting. We even met some nice ladies from France and Poland who were in town. They loved their special gifts with purchase and even had us personalize some bags for friends back home.

We even created a special design for one client who loved roses. We can hand paint any surface including real leather.

The event was very popular with shoppers and kept them in the store longer while they waited for their bags to be designed and dried. We were strategically placed in the shoe department right next door to the beauty counters. The painting and drying time only took about 10 minutes but customers continued to shop and bought other items as they waited.

If you are interested in having calligraphy painting or hand painting at your next event, give us a call at 833 465 9311. We’d love to make your customers feel like Queens for a Day with our beautiful calligraphy and artwork.

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.

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.

If you’re interested in having us emboss leather items at your next event, please contact us
at 833 465 9311 or click here to hire us. We’d love to make your guests feel special at your next event!

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!
