Goodie Bags

"Nobody counts the number of ads you run; they just remember the impression you make." ~ William Bernbach

Goodie Bag, Swag Bag or Gift Bag, no matter what you call them, everybody loves one. But Goodie Bags have often been considered an afterthought and handled as such, yet their impact remains invaluable in terms of branding, marketing and promoting your brand. A good Gift Bag can be instrumental in projecting brand perception and nurturing relationships with both clients and consumers.
That’s why a Kabuki Boy bag is far more than a mere PR tool. With a deep commitment to your event, an appreciation of your guest list and an understanding of your goals, Kabuki Boy will source quality products from leading brands and innovative labels that are relevant, engaging and which connect with your guests to make your final impression a lasting one.
Kabuki Boy specializes in sourcing products as well as packing & delivering your Goodie Bags in line with your timetable. From Deluxe V.I.P. Gift Bags for award nights to Red Carpet Premiere goodie bags, Kabuki Boy understands each event is unique and will make sure the last impression your leave will be a positive one.

Celebrity Gifting

“Clothes make the man. Naked people have little or no influence on society” ~ Mark Twain

With the rise of the influencer, social media and the 24-hour news cycle more prevalent than ever, the power of today’s celebrity to influence consumers and affect trends has never been more compelling. Which is why Kabuki Boy actively promotes premium brands and innovative labels from Australia and abroad via our exclusive Celebrity Gifting service. Taking a page from our peers who drive the entertainment & music industries in the United States, Britain, Europe, Asia and Bollywood, Kabuki Boy has gifted some of the biggest international and local names in film, television and music through our exclusive Gifting Villas, tailored V.I.P. Hampers (delivered directly to the talents hotel suite if required), and Personal Shopping services.
And although we can’t always navigate sponsorship restrictions, or promise actual coverage or activity from our VIPs, we do offer the opportunity of introducing your product to our visiting guests.
And of course, discretion is always guaranteed.

Sampling

"Consumers build an image of a brand as birds build nests. From the scraps and straws they chance upon." ~ Jeremy Bullmore

Everyone loves a freebie. And with traditional advertising avenues continuing to be inundated with competition and most consumers succumbing to ad fatigue, sampling continues to maintain a foothold as a viable and cost-effective means of securing brand & product awareness.
For consumers, being able to hold and test drive a product, as opposed to sighting an online, TV or print ad, will more likely result in positive word-of-mouth, customer loyalty and most importantly a quantifiable increase in sales.
Holding exclusive contracts with Australia’s most successful cinema programs and boasting associations with various A-list Award Shows and high profile Entertainment Events, Kabuki Boy on average touches 13,000 consumers each month; accessing a number of key demographics that will ensure your brand or product directly reaches your target market.
So if you want to directly engage social-media savvy consumers who enjoy bragging about the latest trends and discoveries, then contact us today to discuss our schedule of exclusive and exciting sampling opportunities.

Gifting Villas

“Create your own visual style… let it be unique for yourself and yet identifiable for others” ~ Orson Welles

For larger events and award nights that have a number of celebrity and VIP guests in attendance, one way of creating a big impact is to host a Gifting Villa. Not only does it create a sense of community and ease for your guests to intermingle and enjoy each others company, all in a safe controlled environment, it also ensures future events will become a social calendar staple.
Kabuki Boy can not only organise a number of great brands to gift your talent, but also create a warm, creative space for your guests to enjoy. Including alcohol and food sponsors, live entertainment and Villa Liaisons to ensure your guests are comfortable and relaxed.
Discretion is always guaranteed and our experience brings with it a number of insights that will ensure your Gifting Villa will be a highlight of your event for all in attendance.
