Question 1

What are the advantages and why promote sporting events?

Accepted Answer

The sport has a very ancient origin, as well as the marathon race we know today, born from a very interesting historical anecdote: in fact, it is said that the origin of the marathon is linked to the story of the battle of Marathon, where the city of Athens, fearful of the Persian army that landed on its belongings to possess it, sent the messenger Philippides to ask for help to Sparta. Sparta accepted the request, but would not have intervened before 10 days. In the meantime, the Athenian army managed to devise a defense plan. Philippides, known to be a messenger who ran faster than a horse, ran 500 km in a few days to warn the city of victory, to prevent the city from burning. Thus the marathon was born. Marathons, in fact, are very popular and well attended sporting events. In recent decades, marathons have been used as a fundraising tool (like running for life), where solidarity meets sport. But, marathons are also social events in addition to solidarity, think of the marathons that each city organizes for its community: Lucca Marathon, Bologna Marathon, Run Rome, Treviso Marathon, Florence Marathon and many others. Marathons are highly appreciated and give a lot of visibility to the organizers because they communicate social and collective commitments. Many social movements were born to express themselves through sport and, in particular, with marathons, such as the Color of Running and the Unesco Cities Marathon, which are real cultural and sporting events. In fact, many large companies use marathons as inclusive and internal rebranding tools.

Question 3

Why give promotional items to your customers during events?

Accepted Answer

Attending a sporting event is not enough to be remembered. Original and coherent events have a great emotional impact on customers and help your employees to remember it for a long time. A well-organized event can't be without personalized items. If you are looking for an impactful event, you must organize it in every detail. Being gifted makes us feel appreciated and this works in any relationship, even between vendors and clients. In 2019, PPAI, the international promotional products association, released a study indicating that 90% of people who receive a gift during an event remember which company they got it from. In addition, 80% of these people are willing to make a purchase from the same company. If you are organizing a marathon or a running event, thinking about personalized gifts makes it an indelible event. And even afterwards, your promotional items will be used to remind your runners of the event and showcase your brand everywhere they go. From runners' sportswear, to advertising banners to promote the event, to street signs to get to the marathon venue, and also to mark who is a spectator and who is on the organizing team. All of these are important elements to consider for the success of the marathon. During marathons there are also gifts that can be sold and their proceeds are used for social and solidarity purposes. This is why the personalization of these items becomes extremely necessary.
