With Christmas in July, many PR Companies, brands and retailers are already planning their Christmas activities. Having worked in the retail industries for over 10 years, Christmas was a critical time of year which we would spend all year planning for. I remember visiting Christmas tree factories in January, to develop our Christmas collections for that same year!
Now working as a live illustrator, I know that having a live illustrator at your Christmas brand event is a brilliant way to make your event stand out. Illustrators are a great fit for Product launches, PR Events, Conventions, Corporate Parties, Private parties, In Store Activations and more.
These are 5 reasons you should consider booking a live illustrator for your event.
1. It Makes Your Event More Memorable
Did you know that your event attendees are 6 times more likely to remember your event if you have a live illustrator? It’s a brilliant way to enhance your live event, and with Christmas parties and brand events being planned already, now is a great time to book a unique way of entertaining your guests.
2. It Boosts Engagement
Having a live illustrator is a brilliant way to engage your guests or customers in a differnet way. It creates shareable content. Guests love watching their portrait come to life in front of their eyes and filming the illustrator at work. They also love taking selfies with their portrait and the illustrator can share the portraits they create as well.
3. Make It Personal
An illustrator brings that unique personal element that makes your event feel really special. Creating a bespoke experience for your guests will connect them with your brand and create loyalty. They get a personalised gift to take home as a memento of the event. These sketches become treasured keepsakes, reminding them of the moments and joy shared at the event. They can take them to be framed and displayed at home.
4. Create A Talking Point For Guests
Events may bring a lot of people in the same room, but often, not everyone is familiar with each other. Having a live illustrator create personalised sketches of your guests, provides a unique talking point that helps spark conversations and foster connections. Guests can share their portraits, breaking the ice and making everyone feel involved and connected throughout your special day/event.
5. It Will Give Your Guests VIP Treatment
Your guests will feel like a star as they pose for their portrait and are turned into a unique work of art. They can even be drawn onto the a custom background you’ve chosen specifically for your event.
