Holiday Party Photo Booth – 5 REASONS NO ONE IS HAVING FUN AT YOUR COMPANY PARTIES –
(AND HOW TO FIX THEM)
No one wants to go to the same old boring company party year after year! We struggle to come up with new ideas, stay under budget and all with the hope of keeping your party-goers happy, engaged, and entertained. Planning a party for your company is a tall order to fill. After all, the fortunate soul who is put in charge of the party planning has a reputation to protect. How do you pull together a company party that everyone enjoys?
GO WITH A LIVE BAND OVER A DJ
If your party has a decent budget hire a band and add some live music. Live performances provide plenty of entertainment and go a long way to remove any chance of awkward silence at your party. Bands are always more authentic and engaging than just another DJ spinning the same old tracks.
MUSIC IS ESSENTIAL TO A GREAT COMPANY PARTY!
CHOOSE A BETTER LOCATION
Studies show that employees are physically not able to cut loose in the same environment that their day to day tasks and stress reside. Instead, consider moving your party down a couple blocks to the local bowling alley or a favorite restaurant or bar. Plus if your party is during the workday you will get a great deal on renting a space out and won’t have to worry about
big crowds..
EMPLOYEES WHO SOCIALIZE OUTSIDE THEIR REGULAR WORK DAY ENVIRONMENT ARE MORE LIKELY TO BE A STRONGER, MORE ENGAGED AND PRODUCTIVE TEAM
Put that on your ROI check list!
THERE’S NOTHING TO LOOK FORWARD TO
Nothing is more awkward than going to a party and just standing around trying to avoid small talk with “that guy ” in the office. People will dread carving time out of their day for your parties if all they offer is cheap food and dull conversation.
Keep your guests busy so they don’t have too much time to think about what they’d rather be doing.
Try having a gag awards ceremony or trivia and prizes so that employees can look forward something. Let them know about the raffle by handing out tickets ahead of time. Most of all, just don’t take things too seriously, after
all, it is a party.
DON’T LET THEM MISS OUT ON THE FUN! HAVE A SET TIME FOR THE “MAIN EVENT” TO AVOID EARLY DROP OFF!
GIVE THEM ENGAGING ENTERTAINMENT WITH PHOTO BOOTH HIRE
Provide your guests the opportunity to physically do or experience something. Book some dancers, live performers, magicians, comedians or an amazing holiday photo booth from Exposure Photo Booths. You will know your party is a a hit or not by using your ears. Either your guests are ooohing, ahhhing and laughing their hearts out in the photo booth, or they are not.
BORING FOOD IS A PARTY ASSASSIN
If there is one thing that will kill a party before it even starts, its the fear that the food won’t be good or there
won’t be enough. Don’t let hangry coworkers ruin your hard planned event. Make sure you try new and fun things when it comes to party food, like renting a food truck to come to your location or hire a taco bar to set up and serve unlimited tacos..
DON’T SKIMP ON THE QUALITY OR QUANTITY OF THE FOOD
