WHAT OBJECTIVES CAN BE ACHIEVED WITH A CHRISTMAS CORPORATE EVENT?

We have said that Christmas corporate events can take different forms depending on the objectives that each company seeks to achieve. Depending on these objectives, you will have to carry out some actions or others. But before you start asking for crazy budgets, stop a little and see what these objectives may be:

• CREATE TEAM
  

  The Christmas corporate event is an unbeatable opportunity for the company to transfer its main values ​​for teamwork and the interaction between different groups within the company. The purpose will be to obtain better performance quotas and to involve each and every employee in the process.

• COMMUNICATE THE NEWs
  

  The corporate Christmas event can be a great opportunity to communicate the next news that the company has planned for next year: new business channels, new products, new additions, new strategic alliances, new website, etc … The idea is convey a message of continuous progress, of progress towards achieving common objectives for all.

• IMPROVE PERSONAL RELATIONs
  

  It is unquestionable, that the best capital that a company has is its human capital. Dedicate to what the company is dedicated to, people are the main axis on which all day-to-day actions revolve. The corporate Christmas event can be a perfect time to improve the interpersonal relationships of the workforce and establish better trust and safety guidelines.

7 ACTIONS THAT CAN HELP YOU ORGANIZE AN INTELLIGENT CORPORATE EVENT IN CHRISTMAS. THINK ABOUT PEOPLE

Once you are clear about the objectives that you pursue by organizing your Christmas corporate event, it is time to carry out the actions to achieve them. As we have already indicated, the essential thing is that you think about the people who are going to live it. It is their experiences that will finally make your event a success or not. 

We are not going to lie to you: the budget you have, will definitely mark what you can or cannot do. That is clear, but for Content Lab this is not the most important. As a Content Generation Agency Specialized in Events, the important thing is that you are aware of the budget you have, and with it, find the solutions that best fit your needs and resources. Don’t think about how much you have, think about what you want to get:[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1574865359900{padding-top: 120px !important;}” el_id=”interactividad”][vc_column][vc_column_text]

• GET THE INTERACTIVITY
  

  Your audience and the company should communicate at the event. This communication, like all communication worth its salt, must be bidirectional. That is, the company will transfer its message, its values, its novelties, its proposals, … and the public must return their experiences: what they liked the most, the least, what they learned the most, what they liked the most. It has impacted, what has been your favorite moment, what areas of the event have captivated you, … all the information that is possible to understand how the event has lived all the people. To achieve this interactivity, here are some ideas:

  • 1. QUESTION DIRECTLY

    We have already said that it is not necessary to develop a super corporate event for it to be intelligent. If you want to interact with the public, it is best to ask them directly how they are living. This is as simple as asking the guests what they thought about the restaurant, how they are having it, what dishes they liked best or if they liked this year’s speech. If luckily, you have a bigger budget, rent some tablets and implement interactive voting actions during different moments of the event or apps that collect the hottest points where the participants pass. In the end, the important thing is that the company and employees interact with sincerity, collecting all the information in real time and then making improvement decisions for future occasions.

  • 2. MAKE THEM FUn

    There is nothing better to get a message that the message arrives in a fun way. Humor, or just having a good time, generates endorphins that make us feel much better and have positive memories. Therefore, try to make the public of your Christmas corporate event have fun. Simply hire a humorist, a magician or a presenter who makes everyone have a good time. You can also offer them a live show, a music group that enlivens the evening or even a personalized show cooking. Remember: fun will ensure smiles, and with the smile on your face it is easier to interact.

  • 3. FACILITATE THE INTERACTIVITY EVERYTHING YOU CAN
    

    Make it easy. If you want your audience to leave you with relevant information on how it is happening in your Christmas event, offer them all the possible facilities: come to your table to ask, leave satisfaction questionnaires at the tables, implement on-site voting systems, … Even after the event, you can send them a post-event survey so they can give a more leisurely opinion.

• 4. GET THEY PLAY AS CHILDREN AND ENJOY AS ADULTs
  

  Surely, if one way or another you are immersed in the events sector, you will know that gamification is a crucial point when organizing an intelligent event. Now, we know that when people play and interact playing, their attention and impact fees increase considerably. Therefore, try to make the participants of your event play. Simply develop actions as simple as a raffle for dinner, a bingo or a game of questions and answers with a prize. A corporate photo booth or a costume zone will also be welcome actions that will make the company’s Instagram smoke. Again, if you have a larger budget, you can implement a little more complex actions such as Virtual Reality or Augmented Reality with which the fun will enter another level and with which you will not forget the event in a long time.

Organizing a corporate event at Christmas helps mitigate peer tension caused by day-to-day work, fosters personal relationships and generates moments of complicity that translate into a friendly atmosphere the rest of the year between peers. In addition, company dinners serve to take stock of the general state of the company, set new goals and involve workers in the growth, success or improvements of the company. Because a fundamental part of these events is to focus on the workers, because they are the essence of the growth of any company. It is the responsibility of the company to strengthen professional relationships between colleagues, departments and positions of the company.

However, there is a great diversity of resources to create corporate events this Christmas. Companies are increasingly concerned that their workers live an unforgettable experience, so they take into account the advice of companies specializing in the production of events to give more personality to the event and to create a magical moment for the company’s staff.

The location of the event is essential. This decision is the one that in principle marks the general needs of the event, since we have to have the logistical needs, the number of attendees, parking available and above all, that it is possible to reach the location with ease.

Incorporating a transport service is a resource highly appreciated by workers as it avoids taking the car and enjoying the event in full. In addition, it ensures the attendance of more employees to the event.

Organizing a corporate event for Christmas requires taking into account many details when making decisions. For this reason, we do not recommend organizing an event from Monday to Thursday, since the next day you work and can be an impediment for those who have to go the next day to work.

In a way, to avoid these situations, dinner parties are more common than meals, so that they can then rest for the weekend.

During previous meetings, both creativity and brainstorming sessions are essential to make coherent decisions and achieve a general theme that will be the one that marks the line of our event and makes it different from everything else. This aspect is one of the most important in the creation and organization of events, as it is the basis for success.

The theme must be implemented in all the resources of the event, maintain consistency and take advantage of every corner and free space to include the image of the company and corporate messages.

To enhance the environment and the theme that we have implemented in our corporate Christmas event, it is very important to make use of corporate videos, welcome speeches, show gratitude for everyone’s assistance and involve workers in the effort and goals achieved during the year.

Always according to the theme and atmosphere of the event, it is very interesting to encourage the participation of the attendees, to seek involvement that day, whether through raffles, contests or activities that make the day more enjoyable. Let’s not forget the importance of social networks and that day, we must ensure that attendees share their photos and generate comments and publications on corporate social networks.
[/vc_column_text][vc_text_separator title_light=”1″ title_level=”h3″ title=”5. Apply innovation technology for your event” title_align=”separator_align_left” style=”dotted” css_animation=”none”][vc_column_text]

New technologies are what make the difference today in corporate events. They are essential resources to support the theme and generate a quality environment. For this, resources such as audiovisual content through LED screens or projectors, help create an enveloping environment and that together with quality images and sound will achieve the objectives.

There are many resources and technologies that we can apply when creating our corporate event, and in this sense, having the experience and knowledge of a professional event agency can bring success even closer.
