The Total Eclipse DFW viewing glasses are branded outside with a stunning design depicting the Eclipse and the Dallas and Fort Worth skylines. Your clients can use the entire inside of the frames or we can work with you to co-brand or rebrand the outside of the frames.

-
- Host Eclipse Viewing Events – Organize gatherings for your audience to witness the Eclipse together, creating a sense of community around your brand. We know from the 2017 Eclipse that workplaces and schools experience high absenteeism on the day of the Eclipse. Why not encourage large employers to bring their families to a company viewing party that day? Distribute glasses, eat lunch, play games and give out keepsakes. What better way to do something nice for the team while keeping some level of productivity?
