Planning your year-end corporate function doesn’t have to be tedious, as long as you prepare in advance. Planning is vital to the success of your event. We share a few handy tips to make sure your event will not go unnoticed this year.
1. Book Your Venue
Most venues receive bookings through the second half of the year. If you haven’t started looking for a suitable events venue, do it now. Shop around, compare various sites and their facilities to make sure it can accommodate your staff, guests, and clients accordingly. Compare price lists according to your budget for the event.
2. Choose a Theme
Year-end functions are a perfect way to stage a glamourous celebration or to showcase your company’s lighter, funnier side of things. Pick a fresh theme that has not been overly used in the company’s history or the industry, and guests will have something to talk about after the event. Just make sure you do not go overboard with the theme. You could ask your staff to come up with ideas and vote on the best one!
3. Send out Customised Invitations
Make your guests and clients feel special by sending out customised invitations or even small gifts before the event if the budget allows.
4. Plan Your Menu Carefully
It is a good idea to check out any dietary requirements with your attendees before you choose the final menu options. Make sure everyone feels great on the day, dietary sensitivities or not.
5. Boost Employee Interaction
Encourage company staff to interact at the party with team-building activities or entertaining gigs. Get company employees to come up with ideas and manage an events program that would facilitate further bonding. As with the theme of the event, do not overdo it, though.
6. Be Creative with Gifting
With December holidays approaching, do not skimp on the gifting part. Include a special branded gift clients can take with them to remember your company’s brand if this is the case. Not sure which gift would fit the occasion, or are you simply tired of the New Year’s diary/notebook idea? Choose a practical gift that your guests are likely to use again and keep your brand top of their minds, but employ some creativity. For more info, check out our blog post.
