Five common mistakes when planning your event and  purchasing Swag that can throw a wrench in your event and how to avoid them.



5 Common mistakes
1.You order and there is a mistake with your order
How many times have you  encountered mistakes when buying swag for your event and don't have time to "fix" the mistake ?Even once is more than enough. According to Murphys Law-If anything can go wrong, it probably will! 
Allow time for mistakes. Always order swag in time to arrive at least one week before your event This will allow you to examine the product and make sure all is correct and accounted for.. Make a claim immediately and we will do everything in our power to make it right!
Which brings me to the next common mistake.
2. Buying anything inexpensive and on a whim because you are out of time and don't know where to turn!
 Research your vendors and build a relationship with them. Let them help you to make your event and you look great!
Do your homework. Ask questions, ask for referrals Look for Customer service and value added services..they  are worth their weight in gold. You have to find accountability and make sure your supplier keeps you in the loop every step of the way from order to art to production to shipping and finally in hands and after.  MarathonSwag,com is there every step of the way! We focus on your challenges and can guide you in the right direction.
3. Budget Over-runs
Make sure you know all the costs involved when you purchase swag. Read the fine print and beware of hidden costs Many times you will get added costs tacked on upon check out such as run charges,set-up charges and other unknown costs
Our prices are all inclusive and include free set up, free shipping and a one color one location imprint unless otherwise noted. When in doubt you can get a custom quote or contact us and we will let you know the total cost before you order! 
4. Participant Dissatisfaction
​You find out at the event that no one seems to like your Swag so how do you decide what to buy ahead of time?
The main attraction of any event should be the content of the SWAG. Coming up with the perfect swag is never easy!
Use your volunteers to brainstorm and narrow down your choices,This should be well thought out before you purchase.
Let MarathonSwag.com help you by letting us do the research for you based on your event and who you are targeting  We can make suggestions and present ideas for consideration with no obligation.
5. Low registration/turn out
Are you struggling to get people to your event? Entice them with unique and cool SWAG!
Build excitement and make registration easy! Use social media before and after the event and build an audience. Promote your SWAG giveaway Create a website or Facebook event page Tweet it and build up the excitement leading up to the event,
