Coffee and Company Event Planning With a Sales and Marketing Director.

Mar 06, 2017

What I learned about company party entertainment planning from Diana.

Today I met with a Facebook friend who's the director of sales and marketing for a hotel and conference center. We talked over coffee about hiring and producing variety entertainment for company parties and events.

Here's what I learned:

  • That most companies that have events want to hire entertainment for their event.
  • That a lot of companies hire a DJ because they don't know about other options. (Then they see a mass exodus after the first couple of songs.)
  • Company Event Planners will splurge on food (up to $80 per plated for dinner!) while scrimping on entertainment, even hiring a friend who's a part-time DJ to provide "entertainment." (BTW, even a good dinner is forgotten within a few days while the memories of good entertainment live on!)

I don't know exactly how to accomplish this (except maybe through my blog and public appearances) but I want to let both professional and amateur event planners know that there are options to the same old boring DJ. There are:

  • Hypnotists
  • Comedians
  • Live Bands
  • Jugglers
  • Game Shows
  • Celebrity Impersonators
  • Magicians
  • and more!
Most of these variety entertainers can be hired for little more than the cost of 10 or so plated dinners, and it's something you don't want to scrimp on. Remember, professional entertainment will likely be remembered for years to come (and become part of company lore) while the meat and potatoes will be long forgotten. Why cut corners on the one thing that will live on for years to come?
 
To hire me as a hypnotist and/or comedian for your event, contact me through my website.  And... if you're looking for a venue near Denver, Colorado for your company event... I know someone!
