Celebrating a Million Customers with Style: Inkwell Designers Embossed Leather Keyfobs at Purchasing Power Event in Atlanta

October 6, 2023 By Desiree Colonna

Embossed leather keyfobs were the gift of choice to celebrate Purchasing Power’s impressive milestone of serving one million customers. To commemorate this momentous occasion, a fun afternoon event was organized in Atlanta, one designed to express gratitude while also exemplifying the quality and success that define the brand. This celebration saw the collaboration of Purchasing Power with Inkwell Designers®, known for their mastery in cold embossed leather keyfobs.

Inkwell’s cold embossing method is eco-friendly and requires no electricity or heat. Its truly a carbon neutral event activation unlike any other out there.

Inkwell Designers’ reputation for crafting exquisite cold embossed leather keyfobs made them the ideal partner for creating personalized gifts for loyal employees of Purchasing Power. These beautifully crafted keyfobs served as the perfect keepsakes to mark this significant and impressive milestone.

What made this collaboration truly exceptional was Inkwell Designers’ unwavering commitment to quality, which seamlessly aligns with Purchasing Power’s core values. Notably, all of Inkwell’s leather materials are sourced and manufactured in the USA, ensuring that every product meets the highest standards of craftsmanship and sustainability. This shared dedication to excellence was a focal point of the celebration.

The event itself was an outstanding success. Inkwell Designers established a station where they expertly cold embossed gold monograms onto leather keyfobs. Customers had the unique opportunity to witness the intricate and artistic process up close, as each keyfob was transformed into a distinctive work of art. Seeing their individual initials on each embossed leather keyfob gave each employee a renewed sense of pride in the company. They couldn’t wait to show off their gifts to friends and family.

The event showcased Inkwell’s meticulous attention to detail and their passion for their cold embossing craft, evident in every keyfob produced. Attendees left the event not only with a beautiful keepsake but also with a profound appreciation for the artistry and craftsmanship created by Desiree Colonna, Inkwell’s owner and CEO.

As Purchasing Power celebrated their one millionth customer, they expressed heartfelt gratitude to each and every individual who contributed to this remarkable journey. They eagerly anticipate the opportunity to continue providing the best products and services, all while maintaining their unwavering commitment to quality and sustainability.

Live Event Embossing for Cushman & Wakefield in Orlando

January 23, 2020 By Desiree Colonna

Live event embossing activations are one of the most popular services we offer the event industry. We recently worked with Cushman & Wakefield, commercial real estate brokers, at a convention in Orlando, Florida.

Our live embossing event consisted of adding guests monogram in gold or silver foil to leather keyfobs and journals. We monogrammed over 200 items within a 3 hour event. Guests lined up with excitement the moment we arrived and started setting up our equipment. The buzz grew throughout the three hours we were there and the line never ended.

The keyfobs and journals were made of genuine leather. Our live embossing event included stamping up to 3 letters of a monogram in gold foil, silver foil or with no color. We stamped the logo on the items before the event and added the monogram on the other side.

We had two embossers at this live event. Each could stamp 60 items per hour.

Guests love the live event embossing activation so much we were out of product at the very end. The lines never ended the entire time we were there.

This lady had us emboss a keyfob for her 3 week old grandchild. She was so excited to give her daughter this gift. “Its my grandson’s first monogrammed gift!” she exclaimed. We love stories like these at our live event embossing activations! Our monogramming makes a beautiful gift for any occasion.

We had a lot of guests tell us how wonderful the activation was. There is something about seeing your initials put on an item during an event which is magical.

Leather Embossing Experience in Lisbon for PitchBook Data

November 9, 2019 By Desiree Colonna

Our leather embossing experience is always a favorite activation at events for our clients and their guests. If you want lines in your booth, this is the way to do it. Our leather stamping experience is always a big hit at conferences around the world! Our latest embossing event was in Lisbon, Portugal.

We were invited to create our leather embossing experience for guests at the PitchBook Investor booth at WebSummit 2019. We embossed journals one day and luggage tags a couple days later at the event. After we were done on day one, people never stopped coming by looking for us. There was even a line waiting for us the second day of our leather stamping activation!

Word got out quickly among conference attendees the first day of our activation and spread like wildfire. Our client, PitchBook Data, even asked us to stay 30 minutes later the first day and also add more hours our second day in order to fulfill everyone’s orders. That’s how popular our leather embossing experience always is, no matter where in the world we go! Our client was blown away at the popularity of the activation and very pleased at how many people came to the booth.

The key to successful event activations is making sure there are enough salespeople in your booth to talk to guests while they are waiting in line for their personalized items. Keep in mind, they aren’t waiting long. Each embossing only takes less than one minute. PitchBook understood this from day one and made sure their Investor Relations folks were on hand to talk about their platform with everyone.

Our leather embossing experience was so popular, we had to turn people away at the end of the activation time. The lines never stopped! Everyone loved their stamped journals and luggage tags. It really makes a difference when you give away a high quality, personalized item at your events. People remember your company and will keep your beautiful gifts for a long time to come.

Leather Stamping Activation with Apple Pay at the Chicago Marathon

October 15, 2019 By Desiree Colonna

Our leather stamping activation in Chicago, exclusively created for marathon runners and their guests, was an exciting experience they had not seen before. We set up our pop-up shop at two Fleet Feet sports locations on the day of the marathon and the day after.

Guests were encouraged to use their Apple Pay application on their iPhone to purchase leather keyfobs at the leather stamping activation in both stores. We create leather stamping and other types of activations worldwide.

The keyfobs were beautifully hand-cut leather and were sold for $2 each.

Finishers were lined up in droves to get their medals engraved for free at each store. While they waited for the engraving, they could quickly step over into the leather stamping activation line and get a keyfob stamped with the date of the marathon, their run time or their initials.

We stamped close to 400 leather keyfobs in two days in two separate locations in Chicago.

Runners loved the fact they could personalize their new keyfobs in gold foil or no color. The beautifully, elegant leather keyfobs were a big hit and they were the perfect reminder of a personal PR or running achievement. Friends and family could get their names or initials on their keyfobs to match.

We created a special die for the date and then interchangable text dies for the initials and running times. The leather stamping activation was a huge hit with the crowd because they could customize their items with many choices.

We really enjoyed meeting Chicago Marathon runners at the stores and talking to them while they waited for their medals to be engraved. They had some great stories and really glowed with pride, even though their legs and feet were sore. Fleet Feet had recovery chairs and massages ready and waiting for them while they waited. Everyone was in great spirits and we enjoyed working with the runners and their families.

If you are looking for a very unique activation for your next sports event, look no further. We’d love to help make your event as successful as our Chicago Marathon activation. Please contact us here or call us at (833) INK-WE11 or (833) 465-9311.

Live Event Artists Embossing for BlackRock

October 5, 2019 By Desiree Colonna

Live event artists are a hot trend at conferences and trade shows. Our artists embossed card cases and journals for BlackRock at the Grace Hopper Conference in Orlando, Florida. At our previous activation for BlackRock we also embossed journals in San Diego at the LPL conference. When BlackRock saw how successful the embossing activation was at the San Diego event, we were asked to partner with them again at their next conference.

Our live embossing artists embossed attendees initials in gold or silver foil or no foil color. The reaction of some of our attendees was priceless!

We embossed over 2,500 items in three days at the BlackRock booth. The most amazing thing is we had people waiting in line every, single day! The lines never stopped, and neither did we. We only took two, 15 minute staggered breaks in order to keep the line going. Attendees waited no longer than 10 to 15 minutes because our embossing takes only one minute per item. Its very fast, but the results are amazing. Our live event artists use the same high-end machines found at Louis Vuitton and other luxury stores.

Our live embossing artists had a table set up right in the booth with two embossing machines. Everyone loved the activation. As word got out, we were the most popular booth at the show, hands down! It was unofficially announced the BlackRock activation was the best swag at the show. We were told this many times by attendees throughout the three days we worked there. We even had other booth vendors from companies like Google, Facebook, Disney and Prudential coming to our booth to get gifts for their team!

Experiential activations have become very popular with conference attendees, specifically items personalized and custom created in front of their eyes live and in person.

Guests take home a beautiful gift which not only has your logo on it, but their initials. This is next-level branding at its best!

If you are interested in having our live event artists at your next conference, trade show or private event, we’d love to hear from you! Please contact here or at (833) INK-WE11 or (833) 465-9311.

On Site Monogramming for Gillette at Barbercon in NYC

July 17, 2019 By Desiree Colonna

On site monogramming is one of our most popular experiential activations at events worldwide. We recently offered our unique leather embossing service at the Gillette booth at Barbercon in New York City. Barbercon is where all things hair and beard can be found. We set up right inside their booth next to their barber chair where they had the top barbers in the country cutting hair and trimming beards all day long with the new Gillette SkinGuard razor. We don’t take up much space so we can set up virtually anywhere.

We use hot brass dies to add initials, names, logos and custom symbols. Guests can choose from a variety of foil colors, giving their leather gift a personalized design right in front of their eyes.

We’ve worked with hundreds of Fortune 100, 500 and 1000 companies to offer on site embossing at tradeshows, conventions, private parties and in department stores. We were one of the first companies to develop leather embossing at shows and have the entire experience perfected to a tee! We are the fastest and friendliest on site embossers in the industry and we have many repeat clients all over the world.

Our CEO, Desiree Colonna, was the embossing expert at this three day event. Desiree loves to work most of our shows herself. “Working at events gives me the opportunity to meet some wonderful people as well as see some exciting cities along the way.”

Working with Royce leather in New York, we were able to offer beautiful Napa leather key fobs stamped with the company’s logo on one side. We left the other side blank where Desiree stamped the key fobs in gold foil with attendees initials. On site monogramming never looked so beautiful and elegant.

There were so many fun things at this event including custom haircuts shaped like any character you can dream of. There were a lot of creative ideas around every corner.

The on site monogramming experience was one of the most popular activations at the event and there was a line of attendees waiting for their custom key fobs every day. Guests never waited more than 3 or 4 minutes for their gift.

If you are interested in adding on site monograming to your next event please contact us at 833 INK-WE11 or 833 465-9311. We’d love to give you a same day quote!
