The Best Occasions to Use Custom Bottled Water for Promotions

Custom bottled water is an incredible way to make an event, conference, or product launch more enjoyable, comfortable, and memorable for your customers, guests, and friends. By giving away high-quality water in an attractive, sturdy custom bottle, you allow people to not only stay hydrated and refreshed during the event, but also to take a useful and appealing keepsake with them throughout the coming days and weeks that will keep you in their mind.

From corporate retreats to family gatherings, there are endless occasions where custom bottled water can be an incredible asset. Read on to learn some of the best places to use custom bottled water, how to choose the right custom bottled water for your event, and why no matter what kind of water you need, My Own Water is the manufacturing partner of choice. 

What are some top occasions and events to give away custom bottled water? 

While there are endless possibilities for places that you can give away custom bottled water, here are some of the top ones: 

Conferences

Whether you’re a brand looking to gain new customers or clients during a conference or the organizer of the conference, premium custom bottled water will make you stand out. Conferences are often held in large indoor venues with dry, recycled air or outside in hot, sunny plazas. Either way, attendees will get thirsty. And with other brands overloading them with cheap, forgettable, or irrelevant merch that they’ll throw away as soon as they can, you’ll stay top of their mind by simply giving them something they need. 

Corporate retreats‍

Corporate retreats often have the same setup as conferences – either large venues with dry, recycled air or hot outdoor spaces. Either way, keeping your team members happy and comfortable will both help them remain more present and focused during programming as well as remind them that you care about their comfort. And if a little hydration helps take the edge off the previous night’s open bar, all the better. 

Brand activations‍

If you’re hosting a party to celebrate the launch of a new product or brand, you want guests to not only enjoy the event but to spread the word about it afterwards. By giving away custom bottled water, you’re ensuring that guests take it with them, keeping your branding top of mind, but that everyone they come into contact with sees it too. Unlike more obvious promotional tactics like digital ads or billboards – which can be easily ignored – custom bottled water is something that your target audience can’t help but to look at. Better yet, if you give away aluminum bottled water, your guests can re-use the bottle infinitely – exponentially increasing its visibility. 

‍Charity walks or runs‍

If your attendees are outside engaging in physical activity, they’ll be thirsty. And having bottled water to take with them? It’s like instant bragging rights without them having to say a word. 

‍Family events‍

This might not seem as obvious a use case for custom bottled water as the others, but think about it – if you’re having a family reunion, celebrating a wedding or baby shower, or simply getting everyone together, custom bottled water is a novel, useful, and budget-friendly way to enhance the experience.

How should you choose the right custom bottled water for your event? 

With so many ways to customize your branded bottled water, it can seem overwhelming at first. Here’s how to make the process more manageable: 

• Choose your bottle type - Plastic bottled water has the benefit of being more budget-friendly, and if you choose PET plastic, it’s more recycled than other kinds. Just aluminum bottled water commands a higher price point but is more sleek and environmentally friendly. Not only is aluminum infinitely recyclable, but aluminum bottles can be re-used endless times, ensuring that your brand or event literally stays with your guests, customers, employees, or family members long after it’s over.
  
• Choose your bottle size and style - If you opt for an aluminum bottle, you can choose whether you’d like the color to be brushed stainless steel or white. If you opt for plastic, you can choose from among a wide range of sizes and styles, including ribbed. Just make sure you choose a manufacturer who makes no-slip labels that don’t bubble or peel.
  
• Choose your bottle art - If your internal team has already designed a label, great. If not, a good manufacturing partner can help you design it. Just make sure they have the ability to print all the colors you need.
