Whether your event is in-person or virtual, there are ways to augment the traditional sponsorship opportunities of the past. For example, mid-morning and late afternoon snack breaks are a staple of in-person events, necessary to keep participants happy and attentive. By sending a designed snack box to attendees beforehand, the attendees can take a stretch break and reach for an assortment of delicious snacks with supporting materials that tell the sponsor’s brand story.

For in-person or site-specific events, you can even spread regional love by selecting products that show the local flavor — for example, this Chicago box shows off some Windy City favorites and this Austin-themed box brings Texas BBQ to your backyard!
