2025 Trends in Event Advertising: What’s Hot for the Year Ahead

As we step into 2025, the outdoor advertising landscape is evolving in exciting ways. This year, it’s all about grabbing attention with innovative designs, interactive experiences, and high-quality advertising materials. Whether you’re planning a product launch, community event, or promotional campaign, staying ahead of these trends will ensure your brand stands out. Here’s a closer look at the top outdoor advertising trends to watch for in 2025:

  1. Die-Cut Materials: Custom Yard Signs and Flags

The days of generic rectangular yard signs and flags are behind us. In 2025, we are predicting that more businesses will be looking for that extra customizable detail that will capture their customers’ attention. Clients are looking for one of a kind signage and products that are a direct extension of their brand identity.  Die-Cut Signs are the answer!

Many of our products can be produced with this type of finish, making the possibilities almost endless for you event advertising needs.

  1. Sealed Air Inflatables for Product Launches and Displays

Sealed air inflatables will be soaring in popularity thanks to their 3D customization options and user-friendly set-ups. Unlike traditional inflatables, these are self-contained and don’t require constant airflow, making them easy to set up and maintain. From replicas of your product to creative mascots, sealed air inflatables are a cost-effective way to make a big impact.

These units are traditionally 5-6’ for interior use and are inflated with an external pump. While traditionally used indoors, these units can also be used outdoors to help you catch your customer’s attention at the roadway!

  1. Banner Frames with Tension Banners: A Classic with a Twist

The sleek and polished look of tension banners is making waves in outdoor advertising. Paired with sturdy banner frames, these displays deliver wrinkle-free graphic that withstands various weather conditions.  Perfect for directionals, community events, or roadside advertising, tension banners provide high-resolution visuals that remain crisp and vibrant throughout their life-use.  

Clients love how cost effective and simple these are. Repeating promo?  No problem!  Easy to store and install!

  1. Step & Repeat for Memorable Photo Ops

A good event is not complete without an amazing photo-op opportunity. In 2025, expect to see these backdrops integrated into more events, from Community Sponosorships to Product Launches and Grand Openings. Modern Step & Repeasts use high-quality tension fabric and vibrant prints, ensuring your logo or branding looks flawless in every snapshot shared on social media. 

  1. Promotional Items: Practical and Branded

Promotional items remain a cornerstone of branded advertising, but 2025 brings a focus on practicality and sustainability. Think reusable water bottles, tote bags, or tech accessories that people can use daily.   Not only are you not wasting money on something that goes on used, but your brand remains seen and top of mind.

Custom branding on these items helps extend your reach long after the event is over, turning everyday objects into mobile advertisements.  Lucky for you, ASAP has a quick guide to a catalog of items that are both cost-effective AND not skimping in the quality department.  

  1. Interactive Inflatables: Boosting Engagement 

Interactive inflatables are redefining audience engagement. These larger-than-life structures are not only visually striking but also encourage people to interact with your brand.   Whether it’s a walk-through inflatable dome, a game or selfie station, interactive inflatables create memorable experiences that resonate with audiences long after the event has ended.

Worried about storage?  ASAP has the space to store and the team to help manage usage requests, facilitate shipping and QC after each event. 

Payton’s Lemonade Stand and the Lemon Giving Tree

ASAP Event Advertising Supports Payton’s Lemonade Stand and the Lemon Giving Tree

The holidays are a time for giving, and here in Cincinnati, local businesses and community members are coming together to make a difference. ASAP Event Advertising is proud to participate in Payton’s Lemonade Stand and its annual Lemon Giving Tree—an initiative that sweetens the lives of children facing hardship. This season, we’re not only giving back, but we’re also encouraging other businesses to get involved. Here’s why small businesses like ours play a crucial role in supporting non-profits, and how you can join us in making this holiday season special for local children in need.

Why Small Businesses Make a Big Impact on Local Causes

Did you know that small businesses donate 250% more to non-profits and community causes than larger corporations? According to the Seattle Good Business Network, smaller businesses are often the backbone of local charitable efforts, giving back in ways that have a direct, personal impact on their communities. At ASAP Event Advertising, we believe in the power of small businesses to create change, and we’re excited to be a part of that change through our support of Payton’s Lemonade Stand.

But it’s not just about giving money—there are tangible benefits for small businesses that actively engage in community causes. Research from Score.org shows that businesses that give back not only foster a stronger sense of community but also have more engaged employees who are happier with their employer. When your employees see that your company is committed to social good, it boosts morale and creates a more cohesive, motivated team.

The Mission of Payton’s Lemonade Stand

Payton’s Lemonade Stand isn’t just about selling lemonade—it’s about empowering young people to make a difference. The mission of Payton’s Lemonade Stand is to sweeten the lives of children who are facing medical, personal, or economic hardships. The organization raises funds to support these children, but it also teaches young participants the value of philanthropy. Kids who host lemonade stands not only raise money for others, but they also learn the importance of giving back. Payton’s Lemonade Stand gives children the opportunity to make a real difference in the lives of other children, one cup of lemonade at a time.

How ASAP Event Advertising is Giving Back This Holiday Season

This holiday season, we’ve teamed up with Payton’s Lemonade Stand to collect gifts for local kids facing medical, personal, and economic hardships. Stop by our main lobby (55 Techview Drive, Cincinnati, OH) to pick a lemon tag, shop for the designated gift, and then drop off your unwrapped gift by December 9th!

The Lemon Giving Tree is a simple yet powerful way to support local children in need during the holiday season. Here’s how it works:

  • Choose a Giving Tree for Your Office: ASAP Event Advertising has a Giving Tree set up in our main office, where employees and visitors can select a gift tag and contribute to the cause.
  • Choose a Gift: The tree features wish tags with specific gift requests for local children, ranging from toys to clothing and other essentials.
  • Shop and Donate: Over the holiday season, you can purchase the gifts and drop them off at our office. ASAP Event Advertising will make sure the gifts are delivered in time to brighten the holidays for children in need.

But there are other ways to donate as well—whether you’re unable to make it to our office or want to support the cause from afar. Here’s how you can still get involved:

  • Venmo: You can make a direct donation through Venmo to support the Lemon Giving Tree and help purchase gifts for local children.
  • Amazon Wish List: Payton’s Lemonade Stand has also created a Holiday Wish List on Amazon, where you can easily select and purchase gifts that will go directly to children in need.

Join Us in Making This Holiday Season Brighter

At ASAP Event Advertising, we’re proud to be part of such a wonderful cause and encourage other local businesses to get involved. The Lemon Giving Tree is a powerful way to give back to children who are struggling, and your company can make a real difference. Whether it’s a small donation or a group effort with your team, every little bit helps.

If you’re ready to make this holiday season sweeter for local children and create a positive impact in your workplace, consider participating in Payton’s Lemonade Stand’s Lemon Giving Tree. Let’s show our community that small businesses really can make the biggest difference!

Other Ways to Donate

If you can’t visit our office or want to make a donation from home, consider these additional ways to get involved:

  • Venmo: Send your donation to Payton’s Lemonade Stand through Venmo (@PaytonsLemonadeStand).
  • Amazon Wish List: Visit the Amazon Holiday Wish List for easy-to-purchase gifts that will be directly delivered to Payton’s Lemonade Stand.
