Health & Fitness Fairs

Spread the News
If you’re helping plan a community health fair, make sure everyone knows when and where it is to plan accordingly. You should expect hundreds of visitors, so stock up on enough literature to pass out in school classrooms or at local businesses. Hang posters and flyers around schools or around town so everyone can mark their calendars in advance. Include information on which businesses will be attending, what booths they can expect and if there are any special prizes or promotions.

Promos for Doctors
Branded first-aid-kits make excellent giveaways for doctors and healthcare clinics. Suggest kits on the smaller side so students can fit them in their backpacks and gym bags. Or, try pill boxes, pill splitters and bandage dispensers, which will come in handy when recipients are feeling under the weather. Don’t forget pens so patients can write down when their next check-up is, too.

Promos for Dentists
Who doesn’t like getting a new toothbrush? Make sure dentists are stocked up on plenty to give to booth visitors. Or, suggest they create dental health “goodie bags”, filled with a toothbrush, floss, toothpaste and mouthwash: everything kids need to keep their teeth clean. Stickers are always popular picks with little ones, so recommend pediatric dentists stock up.

Promos for Fitness Centers
Health fairs are a great opportunity for local gyms and exercise clubs to recruit new members and motivate visitors to get fit. Recommend they pass out branded sports bottles so attendees will be able to stay hydrated between sets. Or, have them hand out heart monitors and pedometers so guests can check their fitness levels before signing up for a free trial at their club.

Promos for Dietitians and Nutritionists
Education is key for healthy eating, so suggest these professionals invest in printed materials to teach readers how to cook simple foods and enjoy a balanced diet. Branded lunch bags are excellent giveaways, as they’ll allow attendees to start supplying their own meals the very next day.

Promos for Mental Health
Mental health is just as important as physical health, and it’s important guests young and old know there's help available if they need it. Psychologists and psychiatrists can hand out branded stress relievers imprinted with their information so it’s always available when someone needs them.

Promos for Women’s Wellness
Regular checkups and screenings are especially important for women to ensure early detection and prevention of breast and ovarian health issues. Pass out informational sheets on how to perform self-exams, along with pins, lanyards and wristbands all emblazoned with the iconic pink ribbon.
