Brand activation events are so important for your growing business. It is a great form of marketing that will help generate awareness of your brand and reach your targeted audience, which will then increase sales and interest to others.

Here at Beach Town Pops, creators of gourmet popsicles and ice cream, we believe your event shouldn’t just be a small table filled with flyers to hand out to people walking by.

In all honesty, that isn’t going to attract many people to stick around and learn what your company is all about.

A successful brand activation event should be appealing to the eyes to attract people, interesting to keep people around for a good amount of time, and there should also be some type of food, drink or treat to keep the guests happy and satisfied.

Los Angeles is the perfect place to host a brand activation event. There are so many options of décor companies, caterers, planners (if needed) and most importantly, people to attend your brand activation event.

We put together a list of some of the best spots in Los Angeles where you can host your event… Don’t forget to order our custom branded freeze pops!

They are for adults only of course, but can you imagine a Mojito, Piña Colada, Peach Bourbon or Tequila Sunset? Yes, they are as good as they sound! Of course, we offer regular flavors for everyone to enjoy, such as Orange Marmalade, Lemongrass Basil, Olive Oil with Pepper and Mango Lime.

If you decide to work with us, we can either drop off the goodies, or we can stick around for a while to serve all your guests so that you don’t have to.

Not only that, well bring along our ice cream cart, umbrella (for an outdoor event), menu board, and the frozen treats of course! As if it couldn’t get any better, we can even customize some of items to have your logo or brand name on them!
