Month: December 2018

It is obvious that we have reached the month of gifts. There is still a little time until the company’s Christmas Party or when we exchange gifts between us.

Each team has its own way of organizing this Gift Exchange. Whether it is the classic version in which we draw a ticket with the colleague’s name, we use Slack or we use specially created platforms to organize Secret Santa.

Immediately after this we reach the point where we ask ourselves “What would he like to receive?”. If you have investigative skills and get the information without much effort, you are very lucky. But at the same time there is also the situation where we shrug our shoulders because we don’t know where to go when choosing a gift.

We propose a list of some gift ideas for colleagues from the office – ideas also collected from our Secret Santa parties in the office:

• SOCKS

These have become a great accessory in recent years. All kinds of models – from handcuffs, to flamingos, pizza, avocados, characters from Star Wars, Superheroes or… ANYTHING!

• BOOKS

A good book is always welcome.

• GIFT CARDS
• A DONATION TO A HUMANITARIAN CAUSE
• HOLIDAY PRINT SWEATER OR PERSONALIZED T-SHIRTS
• GLOVES, HATS, SCARVES, SCARVES
• VARIOUS PHONE GADGETS

We’ve seen everything from phone cases personalized or inspired by the person’s personality, to chargers, headphones, external batteries, selfie sticks, to phone camera lenses.

• TRAVEL MUGS AND CONTAINERS
• SWEET, TEA, COFFEE

We are a lot of sweets lovers. You only need to find out if the person you are taking as a gift has various allergies or certain restrictions.

• CANDLES & AROMATHERAPY
• DIANS, CALENDAR WITH CREATIVE/MOTIVATION MESSAGES OR STICKY NOTES FOR ORGANIZATION
• A PERSONALIZED SHOULDER PAD
• HOBBY ACCESSORIES

Maybe he is a big fan of cooking, gardening, painting or illustration. Support his hobby! 🙂

If you have a talent for painting, you can create a masterpiece, personalized by yourself.

• COLORING BOOKS for adults
• THEATRE, FILM, SHOW TICKETS
• INFUSER CONTAINER
• VIN
• POLAROID CAMERA

The list can go on forever. You only need to take a few moments to get to know your colleague to whom you are taking a gift.Also, if you are the organizer of the respective party, our team building team can help you with small activations to increase the energy level or create new memories. Just drop us a line:

In just a few days we declare the Christmas party season open.

Your company parties are an excellent opportunity to celebrate the team’s success. It represents the perfect setting to discuss informally in the team, to have fun and to create memories that will be talked about next year.

If you still don’t know what you want this year’s Christmas party to look like, we invite you to take a look at the page with party ideas.

If you have planned everything together with your agency, all you have to do is create a buzz on Social Media. And as you noticed, Instagram is the new sexy, the place where the world has moved. Here are some ideas to make your year-end event instagrammable:

#HASHTAG

Instagram works according to algorithms based on hashtags. So, of course, use the right hashtags to create buzz around your photos.

• #Christmas
• #ChristmasSpirit
• #ChristmasLoading
• #ChristmasFun
• #ChristmasCheer
• #ChristmasMood
• #ChristmasMagic
• #ChristmasIsComing
• #ChristmasWish
• #ChristmasLove
• #Christmassy
• #ChristmasVibes
• #ChristmasStory
• #ChristmasCookies
• #ChristmasCard
• #ChristmasDecorations
• #ChristmasLights
• #WinterWonderland

Hashtags must be accompanied by a strong photo that conveys a message about your team without being supported by too long text.

In the list you can also find hashtags specific to certain activities or a certain setting.

DECORATION

By the way, about the decor. It must be according to the theme of the party – whether we are talking about a classic RED Party, a Winter in Wonderland or a Super Heroes Party. Each theme has its own charm and it would be a shame not to take advantage of the small details from the photobooth that will bring a bit of madness to your photos or the costumes that your colleagues can wear.

Surely a photo taken in an enchanting corner and with many smiles and contagious energy will show many likes on Instagram!

Use the right hashtags to attract visibility to your photos.

Give us a new share in the “comments” section of the best photo from your team’s party! 🙂

WOW! When did 2018 pass? It’s probably the question we all ask ourselves.

We don’t have an answer for this question, but we certainly know how showed 2018 in terms of events.

It was a year of event experiences taken to the next event thanks to technology, the courage to choose an unconventional location and to offer event experiences to participants.

But what does 2019 bring?

Technology

We live in a world where we are connected to information through a device that we carry in our pockets. In a world where information circulates extraordinarily fast, a world where technology helps us take everything to the next level – from medicine, to technology and industry to the experiences that an event offers us.

Augmented Reality (AR) is back

Starting with 2016 and the appearance of Pokémon GO, the digital transformation of AR has shown an extraordinary potential, both for the gaming industry and for the events industry.

Although Virtual Reality (VR) enjoys popularity and recognition, it cannot be used outside of a specific application. That is why event industry specialists predict that AR will be used, above all, for the engagement of event participants.

Augmented Reality has the possibility to offer turn-by-turn indications to the participants, it can identify the participants in an event through recognition and even offers the possibility of interaction with a product through by means of a hologram.

Drones

Over time, drones have become widely used. Some drones are used to transport fruit or vegetables, while others have light impact dark abilities. Drones have made their way and are useful in a large number of industries, including the events industry. The Federal Aviation Administration (USA) says that by 2020 we will reach 7 million drones. Obviously, filming and photos from drones are extraordinary, but drones can be used in other ways, becoming a strategic element of an event.

Blockchain

Subject debated in the circle of friends, in meetings or in technology conferences. Attention has increased, and blockchain technology is expected to play an increasingly important role in many future industries. Blockchain allows the distribution of digital information, but not its copying.

Interactivity

We continue to advocate for a fast registration process. No one likes to start an event experience by standing in line for 15-20 minutes to enter the event. That is why registration applications have become more and more used.

Also in the respective application you can contact the speakers or the organizing team, asking questions to the speakers, giving them feedback or communicating with the organizing team for the small details that make the experience complete.< /span>

Location, location, location

As we said last year and we will continue to support it, alternative, unconventional locations have come to have priority. With a focus on creating memorable and interactive experiences, the events that take place in unconventional locations help increase participant engagement. These locations will increase interest in the event and create buzz, leading to standards being met just by bravely choosing a “different” location. From parking lots, to artists’ workshops, art galleries, urban gardens or cafes, the offered experience is implicitly unique.

Go Offline & Go Online

Focus your energy on creating unique event experiences that will organically create social media buzz and engagement. Communicate the event hashtag ahead of time to create excitement and you can use industry influencers to reach your target audience.

A Unique Voice

It is no longer enough to plan an event around a sales pitch. More than ever, participants need to experience stories and content with impact, whether you use extraordinary resources for a learning process, your event must offer the necessary support for quality content.
