NFL season’s upon us and Super Bowl XLVI is just around the corner! Most of our larger events have already booked their Superbowl parties with us, but the majority of planners wait until only a few weeks or even days to book

NFL Blitz Video Arcade Game

such a major cultural event. With the economy slowly ramping up, some supplies may not be as readily available such as the custom keepsakes or you incur additional costs for rush shipping. We can’t stress the importance of pre-planning for this seasonal event. Now on to the fun stuff…

UBQB Football Simulator Traffic Builder

What better way to get ready for the game…tossing the ole’ pigskin in a football toss simulator or playing THE game on a real video arcade game. Ask us how we can help out with a Super Bowl party or Marketing Event shows. Here’s a few pointers and ideas to help you out.

Football Themed Event Tips:

Besides decor, giveaways are an absolute must! Think of greenscreen photos at your favorite football stadium, custom number jersey’s printed on site, to logo’d footballs as options for your football themed event.
Instead of face painting, try temporary bodyart tattoos!
Create custom football game passes using our Fake ID System!
Don’t forget team building games such as our Corn Hole Toss

: Customize Corn Hole in Hotel Ballroom

Type of Events with a Football Theme:

1. Trade Shows: Fully decorate your booth with the football motif and get your guests to play ball to win prizes, discounts or loyalty points for participation.
2. Corporate Events: Utilize our corn hole toss to build team spirit and bond by playing this classic game.

Custom Jerseys!

3. Marketing Tours: Create your own FAN ZONE with our UBQB football toss stimulator; fake id system and more.
4. Bar Mitzvah’s: Custom Jersey’s made on the spot for all guests!

Edible Photos on Chocolate taken at your Event!

This item has been really hot at all types of events, from trade show promotions to Bar Mitzvahs, custom chocolate printing is a hit. People have been looking for something different and uniquely custom for their events.

Utilizing our vast knowledge of green screen photography and live event promotions, we offer a unique live chocolate photo party gift that people will remember and can eat too!

Custom Lollipop with Mitzvah Colors and Text

One of live custom chocolate printing event was in St. Louis for a Bar Mitzvah. The client selected the with a custom background to match the theme of the event which was, Everything Glowing. With a small footprint to produce the custom chocolate creations, Printing on Chocolate LIVE enhanced the Mitzvah scene. As you can see, not only did the kids enjoy the custom chocolate entertainment, but the Mitzvah moms, grandmothers and other adults joined in the fun.

At another college event, college students took their photos and we printed directly on to our chocolate lollipops. We were able to get 8 people on one lollipop! Quite a few students wanted a double print of their chocolates: one to keep and one to eat!

Let us know what you think….

Money Booth Magic at Trade Shows

Money Booth Vault

I will start this out with the advice I tell all my clients. No traffic builder can bridge the gap for mediocre trade show preparations or a lackluster booth staff. The trade show traffic builder is something that promotes your company or products with fun thought out interactions. Choosing the right item that is appropriate and works with your theme or products is crucial. As a rental company, we could just rent you an item and move on, but that is short sided and a disservice to our clients. We want you to succeed with our amusement items, because if your sales increase so do ours. With this philosophy in mind, we do our best to find out everything we can to determine the best items for your events or trade shows.

The money booth is one of the greatest ways to get trade show attendees to interact with the exhibiting staff.

Plan your integration of the money booth into your booth’s design and marketing message:

Are you using real money?
Do they get to keep the money or is it a discount toward purchase?
Do you offer a one time prize to those clients who have made you and your business prosper?
Vault Money Booth
Do you want custom designed play money? ( these are just a few of the questions to ask)

Seiko Optical Customized Headers

Selecting the right money booth or cash cube (There are real Money Booths and then there is just junk):

Is the rental company going to support you during the show if needed? (Drop and run?)
How is your prospective Money Booth made? Is it sturdy? Does it actually move the Money? Does it look like it could fall over?
What options are available? Programmable timer? LED display? Custom graphics?
Inflatable? (What does that say about you?)

Industrial Blower using Real Money

The costs to do a trade show have gone up substantially in the past two years. You have meticulously put together brochures, catalogs, and your booth theme or presentation, so why would you bring in a money booth that is cheap looking and weak?

I am biased toward our custom built units, because we have had the others in the past and it reflected badly on us. That is why we searched for a better solution and ended up with custom units. You may save money with a cheaper inflatable or lower end money booth, but what does it cost you in negative impressions and low ROI? You can get further details on our Money Booths at Phoenix Amusements website.

What a wild Ride in Miami!!

We have done many large events but nothing beats the Super Bowl. This year we only did one hospitality suite for a client, but through it all with a recovering economy, logistical problems to solve, and huge budgetary considerations it has been worth it to see the Saints Win the trophy and our clients more than happy with all the games and simulators we brought for their entertainment. Football themed events are definitely one of my favorite types of events. We get to bring items like the UBQB, NFL blitz, and quarterback challenge as well as some racing staples like the NASCAR’s and watch them get swallowed up by the mega event crowds that are at the Super Bowl. It is great to see all the kids and the big kids just light up and lose themselves in the fun.

I have slacked on this blog, but I am going to make an effort to keep it current and fresh with all the events we are doing to give people insights and prospective on what our services can add to their events. In the end it is all about adding fun and enhancing the experience of our clients guests. I just wanted to send out these brief thoughts right after this gig because it looks like we are not going anywhere anytime soon because Miami is just overrun with fans. Go Saints!!!

Thanks to everyone on our team who made it happen.
