Why should you invest in personalization activations at events?
If you’re still asking this question, let us enlighten you.
1) It’s all about connection.
Personalization allows your attendees to feel seen, heard, and valued. It’s like a warm handshake, a welcome home. It’s the difference between a generic “Dear attendee” and a “Hello [Your Name]”.
2) It’s a memory maker.
A personalized experience is unforgettable. It’s the difference between “I went to an event” and “I had an amazing experience at this event.”
3) It’s a game-changer.
Personalization is the future of events. It’s the difference between being a follower and being a leader in your industry.
4) We provide the finest Italian leather goods in our industry. (We can engrave anything but we only cold emboss our own Italian leather or vegan leather items.)
We’ve seen it firsthand. We’ve seen the smiles, the surprise, the delight on attendees’ faces when they realize the event swag is tailored just for them. It never gets old especially when they see their monogram or hand engraved message for the first time on an item. Their smile is contagious!
“She brought more traffic to our booth that I ever imagined – we had the longest line at the entire 25,000 person conference.” – Diane, Invesco
We keep your brand or booth interesting and fun. Every time we’re at an event, our lines are the longest and our attendees are WOWed by the gifts we create. We’re always voted best personalized swag. Every. Single. Time. No wonder we’re the choice for Fortune 500 and 100 companies around the globe including Marriott Bonvoy, Salesforce, Workday, PwC, JP Morgan and many more.
“We recently had Inkwell Designers featured at our booth at a major conference in Orlando. As our swag for the booth, Inkwell embossed leather notebooks and luggage tags with attendees initials. Not only was the product high quality and beautiful, it was the hit of the entire conference. Because of Inkwell, our booth was constantly packed with attendees which led to meaningful connections and conversations and, ultimately, more business! I can’t recommend highly enough.” — Lindsay, PwC (PricewaterhouseCoopers)

Fact: We are the only event artist company in the country who provided 3 different activations at 4 events in 5 days for the Superbowl in Atlanta in 2019.
Our on-site event artists provide on-site experiences for many luxury brands and companies including Salesforce, Sprint, Bacardi, Grey Goose, Chick-fil-A, Forbes, PwC, American Express, Gillette, Versace, FedEx, MillerCoors, Pandora Media, Don Julio, Apple, Hearst Communications, Disney Studios and even Oprah’s OWN Studios. We’ve been invited to return multiple times from these companies and have become the go-to event artists in our industry. We’ve performed our on-site event activations everywhere from Los Angeles to Lisbon, Portugal.
All we need is a 4 to 6 foot table and a couple of chairs. We don’t even need electricity! No carbon footprint left after we leave. We don’t take up much space. Our activations are all under 60 seconds each.
Our on-site eco-friendly cold embossing artists use a cold application method that is environmentally friendly. We do use only our own Italian leather or vegan leather items because they are PROVEN to work with our cold embossing method. Our embossing rate is one per minute or 60 per hour per embosser. Guests love this option and can see their personalized gifts created in front of them. We can print in ANY color combination including metallic gold and silver!
Our high speed on-site engraving is done by hand with a deeper cut and beautiful calligraphy which no laser machine can match.
Our painting activations are quick and people love to watch their items personalized by hand. Did we mention our friendly on-site event artists? We love talking to people as we work our magic!
Our clients happily drive many miles just wait in line to have their items personalized and follow our schedule very closely to find our next event which means more business for all our clients. We travel from Atlanta all over the world to bring our experiential marketing events to guests of all ages. (We also do private events such as birthdays, bar mitzvahs, weddings and parties. Our permanent jewelry activation is a big hit at these events!)
We’re Friendly and FUN!
Our clients also love our humor and conversation and know we care about each and every person we meet. We love to talk to people while we work! The lines are ALWAYS long at an INKWELL EVENT!
We’re Fast
Our work speed averages less than one minute per item! We embossed 2,500 journals for BlackRock at the LPL Conference. We also engraved 2,100 pens for Mayflower in Las Vegas in 3 days. Again, one per minute. We’ll reach more of your clients in less time than any other company you hire.
Although our company is located in Atlanta, our clients fly us all over the world to create magic at their events. We are just as comfortable working in Tokyo, New York or Lisbon as we are in your home. We are fully insured, licensed and bonded for all on-site events.
We engrave on-site and in-store at golf tournaments, craft beer breweries, weddings, wine and liquor stores, wineries, festivals, galas, auctions, baby showers, bridal showers, crystal and glass companies, corporate bookings, golf courses, country clubs and more. Your guests will experience a super custom, high-end experience they’ve never seen anywhere else.
The idea of receiving a personalized gift item attracts customers to your product events in a way no other service can. The limited engagement of our services gives potential customers a sense of urgency to buy now so as not to miss this exclusive opportunity.
So, stop thinking about the cost and start thinking about the value.
Your attendees aren’t just numbers. They’re people. And people crave personal connections.
Investing in personalization isn’t just good for your attendees. It’s good for your brand, your reputation, and your bottom line.
Remember, the future of events is personal. Don’t get left behind.
