Employee appreciation events show your employees that you realize how important they are to the company. Same goes for customers and clients. It’s always a good idea to stop, take a breath and thanks those people who make it all possible. The following are some tips to make your appreciation events more memorable.
Invitations Let People Know It’s Important
You can choose either a formal paper invite or an informal e card however by sending an invitation to your appreciation event you set the tone that this event is important. Be sure and include all the information such as the start and end time, activities, speakers and all other details your employees or customers may want to know.
Agendas Help the Events Run Smoothly
The agenda is an essential step that ensures your event will run smoothly. A meeting agenda is the list of items that you hope to accomplish at the event. The agenda should be distributed to your employees or customers several days in advance of of the event, minimally 24 hours so that participants have the opportunity to prepare for the event. Of course, the most important part of creating an effective agenda is to follow it during the event!
Themes Make Event Memorable
You want to choose a theme that can be interpreted loosely, so that you can be as diverse with your decoration, gifts, invitations and speakers as possible. The theme is so important to the success of an event. Using a theme ensures that our event is memorable. When all the elements of your event coordinate your employees are more likely to remember it.
Don’t Forget The Drinks and Snacks
Special Coffee Drinks and Smoothies are always a hit and a great ice breaker. It’s a natural way to take a break in full agenda and it’s a way for leadership to network with clients, customers, and employees at these appreciation events. A mobile specialty coffee and smoothie bar is a economical way to say thank you and it’s always a hit!
Personalize the Gifts
It is always nice, whenever possible, to personalize each gift to each recipient. Your employees or customers want to know they are appreciated. The gift should be more than a generic token or promotional item from your company. Use your gift as a table decoration by setting one at each attendee’s place setting. This way you will not forget anyone. And the gifts can be your table decoration.
