6 Reasons to Sponsor Event Key Cards
6 Reasons to Sponsor Event Key Cards
BRAND VISIBILITY
During the lifespan of an event, an attendee will actively look at their keycard 8 – 12 times/day. This represents repeat impressions to your targeted demographic. Place a QR Code to link to a landing page for you/your clients to track participation, download an app, or provide fluid event information and updates for the attendees.
ROI
The cost to brand a key card is minimized by the potential return on investment. 64% of attendees are not current customers of the companies’ exhibits they visit. 38% of attendees state that visiting exhibits influences future purchases and investments. You have the opportunity to place an alternative to a business card in all of their hands.

| ![]() | ![]() PORTABILITYWhile produced on a small format, a key card is sleek and portable, making it easy for your marketing message to travel beyond the timeframe of the event. |
CREATE MEMORIES
If a brand or event resonates with an attendee, they will likely keep their keycard as a memento or keepsake of the event – thereby increasing the number of impressions. Promoting a future event increases these odds even more. 52% of persons polled said their impression of a company is more positive after receiving promotional products.
CO-OP BRANDING
You have the ability to share the expense and the available real estate on the key card. You will receive all the benefits of key card sponsorship at a reduced cost.
