With events moving to virtual environments a virtual <a href=\"https:\/\/swag.com\/blog\/conference-swag-ideas-to-stand-out-from-the-crowd\">event swag<\/a> bag can still be part of the event, helping to engage attendees and to humanize the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Swag can be used in success <a href=\"https:\/\/swag.com\/blog\/7-ideas-for-virtual-event-follow-up\">Virtual Event follow-up<\/a>, but can also be a useful tool to welcome your attendees prior to the event. Also, a successful swag box can help build anticipation for your event or even help set the stage for the sessions and topics to be discussed at the event.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What to include in a pre-event Swag Box<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are a few ideas for what you can include in a virtual <a href=\"https:\/\/swag.com\/blog\/swag-bag-ideas-for-every-occasion\">swag bag<\/a>, but we can help you create and send your own custom swag box with almost any product available on <a href=\"https:\/\/swag.com\">swag.com.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tote Bags and Beyond<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The classic event swag bag is a tote bag filled with various swag, literature, programs and other event items. A good tote bag is still a good idea as a virtual event giveaway, but the ability to mail the swag pack versus the attendees having to carry them around,  gives more flexibility.  Here are few ideas for a great bag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/swag.com\/product\/daily-grind-tote\">Daily Grind Tote&nbsp;<\/a>&#8211;&nbsp;Great classic canvas tote. Available in wide assortment of colors.<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/swag.com\/product\/24-7-tote\">24\/7 Tote Bag<\/a> &#8211; Great collapsible bag to bring on the go.  Great looking two-color design that can be customized with a screen printing of your event or sponsor&#8217;s logo.<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/swag.com\/product\/zipper-beach-tote-1\">Zipper Beach Tote<\/a> &#8211; A great higher-end option, especially for the summer. This canvas bag with a zipper, is great for a day trip or a day at the beach. Looks great with an embroidered logo. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Virtual Event Gifts (not Giveaways)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Again since these virtual event boxes will be mailed, it gives you more flexibility in what you can include in a swag bag\/box. Here are some great options to include as a gift to your attendees.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/swag.com\/collections\/journals\">Journals<\/a>\/<a href=\"https:\/\/swag.com\/collections\/notebooks\">Notebooks<\/a> &#8211; An event classic that works just as well in a home office as at a conference. We have a great selection of notebooks and journals. Looking for some hints, see our blog post on <a href=\"https:\/\/swag.com\/blog\/our-top-custom-notebooks-that-make-a-statement\">choosing a great notebook<\/a>.<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/swag.com\/collections\/water-bottles\">Waterbottles<\/a> &#8211; Another &#8216;can&#8217;t go wrong&#8217; item is a re-usable water bottle. There are so many great options, but it is important to choose a low-quality bottle. Pick one that stands out, and that will end up on your audiences desk long after the event is over.<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/swag.com\/collections\/virtual-happy-hour\">Virtual Happy Hour<\/a> &#8211; Including something that can help re-create the event happy hour is a great option, pair it up with a networking event and you have a great way to engage your audience.<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/swag.com\/blog\/coffee-gifts\">Coffee Breaks<\/a> &#8211; Another way to help re-create some of the event networking opportunities is to include something to enhance a coffee (or tea) break or roundtable style sessions.<\/li><li>Gift Cards &#8211; Want to provide a lunch or coffee during the event? We can also help you include gift cards in your box. W<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Get Event Sponsors Involved<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Like an in-person event, let your sponsors in on the swag action. Allow them to sponsor an item in a pre-event swag box. We can include items branded with your sponsors&#8217; artwork in the event box. Or we can include a brochure or postcard offer from different sponsors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Include Event Literature <\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Also to set the stage for the event you can include an event program or schedule in the swag box. Or if you have other sales materials or content you&#8217;d like to include, we can help with that.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These are just some ideas for how you can use a swag box to help engage your audience prior to the event.  We&#8217;d love to talk more about your event and help you create the perfect swag pack for your virtual event. <a href=\"https:\/\/swag.com\/contact\/\">Drop us a line.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Virtual Event Swag Bags A hallmark of in-person events, conferences and trade show is the swag bag, often given to&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":2152,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[41,45,40,127],"tags":[64,42,88],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Humanize and Engage Virtual Audiences with Swag - Swag.com<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Swag boxes can help build anticipation for your virtual event or even help set the stage for the sessions and topics to be discussed.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/swag.com\/blog\/virtual-event-swag-bag\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Humanize and Engage Virtual Audiences with Swag - Swag.com\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Swag boxes can help build anticipation for your virtual event or even help set the stage for the sessions and topics to be discussed.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/swag.com\/blog\/virtual-event-swag-bag\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Company Swag &amp;
