We left feeling as if we’d been given a gift, indeed we had, and agreed we’d do our best to pass it on.

Are Organizations Committed to Corporate Events?
Despite talks of a difficult economic climate, companies remain driven to invest in their companies and workforce through corporate gatherings in 2024. They value events highly and correlate them to profitability, workforce retention, and overall success. Again, budgets are going up, and events are larger!
1. Identify Target Customers for Corporate Events
By understanding your customers, their goals, and anticipated attendee count, you will be best equipped to market your corporate events and attract new and perhaps repeat corporate events. If you have hosted these events, begin by leveraging any past corporate event details. Next, look at local companies and find out their needs for events. Are they booking small shareholder meetings or larger-scale celebrations? What food and beverage items are they looking for? What amenities would help? Research online to determine how your business can provide value in the corporate event space.
2. Create an Excellent Customer Journey
Now that you better understand the corporate event space and your potential customers, it’s a great opportunity to take a fresh look at your entire customer journey. Explore what it is like to be a prospective corporate event customer today and how they might discover your venue. Next, put in place ways to improve the customer experience from the first interaction online or otherwise. Continue to look at your response methods to questions and the booking process. Next, look at the individual components of your events and how you continue building customer loyalty. Last, solicit feedback from team members and customers so that you can put a defined improvement plan in place.
3. Build an Effective Event Team
While staffing may be challenging, it is best to prepare by building your events team. First, understand event expectations to determine your staffing needs. Consider the ROI of your corporate event business and adjust staffing shifts to accommodate what brings in the most profit. If you require more staff, write a clear and captivating job posting to attract great candidates. Once you have your team in place, take the opportunity to improve how you communicate and work together. These efforts in your team will create a better work environment, retain key workers, and ultimately make your corporate events succeed.
