Frequently Asked Questions
What is event merchandise?
Event merchandise refers to branded products given away or sold at events to increase visibility, create engagement, and leave a lasting impression. It’s a powerful way to extend your presence beyond the event itself and we help you do it better, bolder, and more sustainably.
What kind of merchandise works best at events?
That depends on your audience and the type of event but popular options include:
-
Branded tote bags
-
T-shirts or hoodies
-
Water bottles and coffee cups
-
Tech accessories (chargers, power banks, webcam covers)
-
Stationery (notebooks, pens)
-
Limited-edition products tied to event themes
We’ll help you choose items that align with your brand and audience.
Can Woodblock help with the design process?
Yes. Our in-house creative team can develop designs from scratch or work with your existing assets. We’ll advise on product selection, artwork layouts, colour matching, and how to turn a simple logo into something people want to wear, use, and share.
What’s the typical lead time for event merchandise?
It depends on the product types and branding methods, but most projects take 2–4 weeks from sign-off to delivery. For urgent jobs, we offer fast-track production on select items, just let us know your timeline and we’ll make it happen if we can.
Can I order a sample before placing a full order?
Yes. We’ll send you product samples so you can check the quality, sizing, and feel before going ahead. We can also produce pre-production branded samples for larger orders so you know exactly what you’re getting.
Can event merchandise be personalised for attendees?
Yes, we can personalise select items (like bottles, name badges, or notebooks) with attendee names, titles, or roles. It’s a great way to boost perceived value and engagement, especially for high-touch events like leadership summits or brand activations.
How much does event merchandise cost?
There’s a wide range and giveaways can start at around £2–£5 per item, while premium apparel or tech gear might be £15–£30+. We’ll work within your budget to find the right mix of products, and offer ideas that balance quality with cost-effectiveness.
What if I want merch for a last-minute event?
We’re used to working on tight turnarounds. While some custom items do require longer lead times, we also stock a range of fast-turnaround products that can be branded and shipped in as little as 3–7 working days. Just get in touch and we’ll see what’s possible.
Why is merchandise important at events?
Because it works. Good merch grabs attention, starts conversations, builds loyalty, and gives your audience something to take home and remember you by. It’s a physical reminder of your brand long after the event ends and when done right, it becomes part of the experience, not just an add-on.
Can I sell merchandise at my event, or is it just for giveaways?
You can absolutely sell merch at events and we can help you design products that people want to buy. Whether it’s a conference collection, festival merch, or branded apparel for a product launch, we make sure it looks great, feels high quality, and adds value to your attendees’ experience.
Do you handle logistics and delivery to the venue?
We do. We can deliver directly to your event location, split shipments across venues, or store items at our UK warehouse for staggered fulfilment. Our team manages all the logistics, so your merch shows up where and when you need it – ready to go.
What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
Most items have a minimum order starting from 50–100 units, but this varies depending on the product. If you’re planning a smaller event or need something more exclusive, we’ll find a solution that fits your numbers and budget.
What types of events do you support?
We support all kinds of events, including:
-
Corporate conferences & trade shows
-
Team offsites & internal events
-
Brand activations & pop-ups
-
Festivals & cultural events
-
Fundraisers & charity events
-
Virtual and hybrid experiences
If people are gathering and your brand is involved, we can help you show up with purpose and style.
Can we store leftover event merchandise for future use?
Yes. We offer warehousing and ongoing fulfilment, so if you have leftovers or want to repurpose merch for future campaigns, we can store and dispatch it on demand. No need to haul boxes back to the office or let great merch go to waste.
Are sustainable event merchandise options available?
Absolutely and they’re some of our most popular choices. We offer recycled, organic, plastic-free, and carbon-conscious merchandise, plus FSC-certified packaging. If sustainability is part of your brand or event messaging, we’ll help you show it, not just say it.
How do I order promotional event products?
It’s simple. Just reach out to our team via our contact form below, email, or phone. We’ll start with a quick chat or briefing to understand your event goals, audience, and branding needs. From there, we’ll recommend products, create design proofs, confirm costs and timelines and then get to work producing your order. Whether you know exactly what you want or need help shaping the whole concept, we’ll guide you every step of the way.
