This summer's hotly-anticipated UK MotoGP Grand Prix will mark the fifth year Silverstone has hosted the race since returning in 2010, after a 23-year gap.
This world championship event has a great history within Britain: the first Grand Prix that took place at Silverstone was in 1977 after the Isle of Man track was considered too dangerous for international contestants.
Another interesting fact about the event? Silverstone's famous triangle format is the result of using three runways from a World War Two Royal Air Force bomber station!
How Can Marketing Around Silverstone Help Your Brand?
In recent years, the Silverstone MotoGP Grand Prix has evolved massively - the Northamptonshire-based event now includes a festival held over the weekend and there's even a camping site in the nearby woods! This change in customer experience means over 56,000 people flock to the race, making it a great opportunity for involved businesses to increase brand awareness.
Exhibiting at the festival can open the door to a huge new potential audience and your business can benefit from utilising a variety of marketing tools to max the potential, with promotional merchandise being a favoured option. After all: branded giveaways can play a huge part in increasing brand awareness.
Even if your business isn't directly involved in the event itself, you can still show your support. Promotional products that tie-in with motorcycles, biking and sports generally would make great giveaways to hand-out to customers, especially if your target audience has a particular interest in motorsports and outdoors pursuits. For a neat finishing touch, why not include a card that tells customers the product is in support of the Silverstone MotoGP Grand Prix?
We've put together a list of some promotional sports merchandise that would be ideal for revving up your brand awareness around motorbike events such as the Silverstone MotoGP Grand Prix - ready, set, go!
