Separate the delegate kit from the venue display
Start with the attendee count, then decide what each person actually needs. A4 Conference Folders, Notebook Pen Sets and Plastic Promotional Ball Pens may support the working sessions. Pull Up Banners belong to the venue display brief, which has its own quantity and artwork requirements. Conference & Event Products brings these options together without implying that every item is part of a pre-packed bundle.
Check the contents and dimensions
Write down what is included with each product. A folder may hold documents, but an image alone does not establish that paper, a pen or a device is supplied. Check the actual product description. If you choose Paper Gift Bags for the delegate products, compare the bag dimensions against the complete contents and any protective wrapping.
Prepare a product-by-product artwork brief
A logo approved for a notebook may need a different size or decoration process on a pen. Supply the product names, quantities and intended logo positions together. Ask for the available method and proof for each item. Keep the person responsible for approving artwork visible in the brief so mixed-product decisions can be consolidated.
Work backwards from the arrival date
Record the required arrival date and venue delivery area, not only the event date. Include any packing, distribution or receiving requirements. A requested date is not a confirmed delivery commitment; check the written quotation and artwork approval requirements. Save your products in the RFQ shortlist to send the whole brief in one enquiry.
