Conference swag is a fantastic way to make a memorable impression on attendees, but it doesn't have to break the bank. In this blog post, we'll unveil clever strategies for creating top-notch swag experiences while keeping costs in check. Learn how SwagUp can help you streamline the process and optimize your budget.

Set a Clear Budget: 

The first step to saving money on swag is to set a clear budget. Knowing your financial constraints allows you to make informed decisions about what swag items to invest in. Swagup's automation tools can help you track and manage your budget effectively.

Quality Over Quantity

Instead of flooding your booth with numerous low-cost items, opt for high-quality, memorable swag that attendees will truly appreciate. For instance, consider custom-branded, reusable coffee mugs or stainless steel water bottles. Swagup can assist you in sourcing these quality items at competitive prices.

Multi-Purpose Swag

Look for swag items that serve multiple purposes. For example, a branded notebook with built-in USB storage can be both practical and cost-effective. Swagup allows you to customize such items to align with your brand.

Personalized Swag Package

Create personalized swag packages. Tailor these packages to different attendee segments, such as speakers, sponsors, or VIPs. Including a personalized note with each package adds a thoughtful touch without breaking the bank.

Swag Giveaways and Contests 

Engage attendees by hosting swag giveaways and contests. Promote these activities on social media and use Swagup to select and send swag prizes efficiently. This generates buzz and keeps your swag budget in check.

Collaborate and Share Costs

Partner with other exhibitors or sponsors to share the costs of swag. Pooling resources can allow you to access higher-quality swag items at lower prices. Swagup can help coordinate swag distribution among multiple parties.

Track ROI with Automation


Track the return on investment (ROI) of your swag efforts. Analyze which swag items generated the most engagement and follow up with leads accordingly.
