Planning a Successful Business After Hours
- Invite your clients – Send out invitations, e-mails, and promote the event throughout your place of business.
- Make it fun – Have a theme for the event, i.e. luau, football night, beer & wine sampling, etc.
- Provide door prizes for those that attend
- Provide food & beverage – Guests will stay longer if you serve something to eat, and remember that the Business After Hours is during the dinner time hour.
- Advertise – Announce your event at other community luncheons and group meetings.
- Get your employees involved – Your employees can help by spreading the word about the event. One suggestion, have an internal competition to see who can have the most guests attend.
- Putting a little extra time and effort into planning the event will make hosting a Business After Hours a success!
