Learn practical steps to set up Boxed Water table tents at events, from placement to messaging, to boost your brand and sustainability story.

Quick Answer

Use Boxed Water table tents at events to tell your sustainability story and guide guests. Place them where people naturally pause, like check-in areas and beverage stations, and keep messaging short and visual.

Why Table Tents Work at Events

Table tents are a low-cost, high-visibility way to reinforce your brand without adding clutter. They work best when they answer a question guests already have, such as why you chose Boxed Water or where to recycle the cartons.

The trade-off is space: a tent card only holds a few lines of text. Resist the urge to over-explain. A short headline and a call to action will perform better than a paragraph.

Step-by-Step Setup Guide

Choose High-Traffic Spots: Set up tents at check-in tables, beverage stations, and seating areas where guests naturally linger. Avoid placing them where they might block other materials or get knocked over. Test visibility from standing height to ensure they're not hidden behind other items.
Craft Clear, Short Messaging: Write a headline that states your commitment (e.g., '100% Recyclable Packaging') and a one-line call to action like 'Recycle me here.' Keep font large and readable from a few feet away. Read the text aloud—if it takes more than 5 seconds to say, it's too long.
Pair with Product Displays: Place a tent next to a stack of Boxed Water cartons or a dispenser. This connects the message directly to the product and encourages guests to pick one up. Make sure the tent doesn't cover the product's label or barcode.
Use for Directional Signs: Beyond branding, use tents to point guests to recycling bins or restrooms. This adds practical value and reduces staff questions. Use arrows or icons for quick recognition—no need for full sentences.
Rotate Messages Throughout the Event: If your event spans multiple days, swap tent cards with different messages (e.g., 'Join our newsletter' on day two). This keeps the display fresh and encourages repeat reads. Prepare extra printed inserts in advance to avoid last-minute printing costs.
