Got Vape a Huge Hit at 27th Annual Bob Marley Ragga Muffins Festival
By Kahinano Donlin
Long Beach, CA - The 27th Annual Bob Marley Day at the Long Beach Convention Center was a huge success for all involved with the production.
On Feb 16th and 17th over 20,000 people made their way to the arena to see some of the biggest names in Reggae.
With over 100 vendors, Got Vape was the only Vaporizer Distributor at the show so we took on the responsibility of educating the public about our Vaporizer Awareness Campaign.
The Got Vape Van rolled up to the Long Beach Arena around 9am for the initial set up. Two hours later, not only was the booth set up and ready to go, but we also covered the entire arena with Got Vape banners and promo material!
The doors opened up around noon on the first day. All of the reggae lovers made their way into the show for a day full of Reggae, food, vendors and fun.
Throughout the first day people would come by the booth and check out all of the top rated vaporizers that we had on display.
There was a huge buzz over the Volcano Vaporizer because these units have been deemed as the most efficient vaporizer on the market.
We also had really positive feedback from Got Vape’s other top rated vaporizers like Silver Surfer, Hot Box, Natural Goods, Vapor Warez, Easy Vape, and the Vapir 5.0.
Every person that walked by the Got Vape booth got a demonstration on all the different products. Whenever an interested person was about to leave, the Got Vape promo team handed them stickers and a Vaporizer Health brochure for further reading after the show.
Day 1 featured huge reggae stars like Beenie Man, Collie Buddz, Capleton, Sly&Robbie, and Rootz Underground.
Around 3pm, the entire arena was filled to capacity and it stayed packed until the end of the show. Southern California traditionally has a huge Reggae following, so this amazing event solidified Reggae’s place in the area!
We were able to get on stage for some great photos and even the backstage crew was asking about how they can get a hold of a Got Vape Vaporizer! Each artist performed for nearly an hour so the fans got to hear all of their hit songs.
When concert goers entered the dance floor, they saw Got Vape’s Marketing Banners surrounding the whole arena.
In fact for every Heineken Banner (They were the official sponsor) there were at least 3 Got Vape Banners next to them! I ended up having Heineken’s head of sponsorship come up to me and complaining about how much more exposure Got Vape received!
He also had to admit that our marketing was amazing and we did a great job. This is how we do things at Got Vape; we work to the best of our ability or not at all! The event ended around 11pm and we headed home excited about tomorrow’s show.
Day 2 was even bigger due to stars like Reggae legends Gregory Isaacs, Midnite, Gentleman and Tarrus Riley performing.
The booth was set up by 11am and the crowd poured in at noon. We had a couple of people who came to the show yesterday and they were eager to buy a vaporizer before they left the concert today.
The Got Vape Crew made sure to have plenty of brochures and stickers for the sold out crowd. As the number one vaporizer distributor in the nation, we always want to be a part of huge events like the Ragga Muffins Festival.
The main artists started to take the stage around 6pm and the arena was packed on the dance floor and in the bleachers.
I was able to get backstage and watch Midnite and Gregory Isaacs perform while networking the VIP area.
The producer of the show, Moss Jacobs, was extremely impressed with our marketing material, specifically the Vaporizers & Your Health brochures.
Got Vape made sure that everyone at the concert was aware that Vaporization can be used and incorporated into a healthy everyday lifestyle.
I explained to Mr. Jacobs the specifics of our backstage “GreenRoom” program and he now wants Got Vape to be at the next big event.
Gregory Isaacs closed down the festival and performed two encores for all 10,000 fans at the show. We made thousands of new friends and I know they are all excited about learning more about Vaporization!
Our goal at Got Vape is to sponsor top-tier
events that leave great memories for all. This
is only the beginning, so keep checking out the
