Grand Opening and Events Bundle: Event Signs, Banners & More!

Make your big event count. Whether you’re planning a new opening, a reopening, a customer appreciation party, or any other type of event, our bundles will help you nail it.

You only get one chance to make a first impression. A successful grand opening event should introduce your new business to the community, educate prospective customers about your products and services, and keep you top of mind with your target audience far into the future. High-quality signage, print collateral, and marketing materials are key to pulling it off — but which products are right for your needs?

Whatever the purpose of your event, it’s an opportunity to connect with members of your community and make a lasting impression. A successful event earns goodwill from new and existing customers and encourages them to come back and patronize your business.

You may already have a grand opening banner and other event signs in mind, but to achieve all of your goals for your celebration, these materials are just the beginning. Our bundles feature everything you need to pull off an event that will continue paying off long past the big day itself. From mailing invitations to hanging your “opening soon” sign, we can help you plan for and execute every detail of your celebration.

AlphaGraphics print and marketing experts have hand-picked the most effective signage and collateral options to deliver the best results from your grand opening event. We’ve taken all the guesswork out of the planning process to simplify it and help you get the optimal return on your investment.

Three Tips for Throwing an Unforgettable Event

While most businesses get started with a grand opening party, fewer consider the power of event marketing beyond the first big splash. From holding regular customer appreciation parties to aligning small celebrations with national or local events and holidays, event marketing is a powerful way to stay on your customers’ radar and give them a reason to patronize your business. Consider these tips for your grand opening or your next event!

1. Get the Word Out

Use signage around your storefront as well as other channels to spread the word about your event. Every Door Direct Mail, which is included in our Premium Bundle, is great for letting all of your neighbors know about your big day.

2. Share Freebies and Promo Products

Branded promotional products add a tangible element to your celebration. A few freebies can turn a face-to-face interaction into something more memorable. Plus, they keep your brand top of mind long after the event has passed. Find promotional products included in the Premium Bundle!

3. Tie in Charitable Giving

One of the best ways to make a meaningful splash in event marketing is to tie in charitable giving. People are much more apt to participate in a campaign that contributes to a good cause or gives back to their community. Demonstrate that there’s something beyond profits, and you’ll increase the appeal of spending money with your business.

Grand Opening Bundles in Alexandria and Arlington

When the day finally comes to open your new business in Alexandria or Arlington, it can feel like you're a bundle of nerves.

What did you remember? What did you forget?

With so many things on your mind, it helps to have someone on your side who’s thought of everything for you.

Let AlphaGraphics of Alexandria and Arlington help take some of the work off your plate with one of our three bundle packages for Grand Openings. We’ll provide you with everything you need to ensure that your marketing materials look professional and spread the word that you’re open for business.

While all three bundle packages (Starter, Plus, Premium) are good—it’s the Premium that will really help get the word out. You’ll get Every Door Direct Mail (EDDM) which will send out a mailer or postcard to every single home in the area of your new business.

To really get people excited about your Grand Opening, consider tying in a charitable event. For example, if there is a cause near and dear to your heart (that matches up well with your business), consider donating some money to them and have that information listed on your mailers as well. An excellent example of this is when an outdoor sporting goods company contributes to a charity that focuses on preserving or saving the forests.

If you want to make a huge impact, consider an email marketing campaign. If you have the time, create a Facebook or other social media account for your new business (before you open) and run a paid advertising campaign to your company website.

Continue to post to your social media sites with updates. For example, if you know you’re going to open a new restaurant in 6-12 months from now, start taking photos as the construction guys install your new booths and counters and cooking appliances.

This will help generate a fair amount of buzz so that on opening day you could find a very long line of people waiting outside your front doors.

If you don’t have the luxury of time, consider list generation services that will provide you with the email addresses of people who are most likely to buy your products or services. This way, you can send out an email blast a few days before your Grand Opening and immediately start to get the word out.
