Deliver Lipsmacking Fun with Unique Conference Giveaways | The Lip Balm Bar at ABA Bank Marketing Conference
In an exhausting whirlwind of conference booths and swag bags, how do you make sure your giveaway stands out? Offer unique conference giveaways that attendees won’t just take, but use regularly!
At this year’s ABA Bank Marketing Conference in Chicago, we were delighted to deliver exactly that with our crowd-favorite Lip Balm Bar—an interactive experience that had 300 guests mixing, matching, and walking away with the perfect custom lip balm.
Teaming up with the American Bankers Association, and facilitated by CTC Destination Management, Laine Too transformed conference breaks into mini spa moments. (A huge shoutout to ABA and CTC for brining us in. It’s so wonderful to work with a partner that puts real effort into delighting their attendees!) Our Lip Balm Bar allowed said attendees to choose from 60 delicious flavors and a variety of colors to create a soothing, custom lip balm in just minutes. It’s personal, it’s fun, and it’s practical—a winning combo for busy professionals who don’t want to miss a moment of mainstage content.
The Lip Balm Bar: A Meeting Planner’s Delicious Secret Weapon 
For meeting planners who need to impress without stretching budgets or timelines, our Lip Balm Bar is an instant hit because it checks all the boxes: interactive, efficient, and personal. It’s not just a giveaway—it’s an experience. Attendees get to take a break, have some fun, and leave with a personalized lip balm they’ll actually use. Plus, it’s quick – unless they really take their time picking flavors and colors! In a matter of 3-5 minutes, each guest walks away with their own custom creation, making it perfect for fast-paced conference environments. This is essential for keeping foot traffic flowing in the expo hall, while making sure everyone has their turn at the table.
