Get the Most out of Your Company Picnic

1:46 PM

















When companies host a picnic for their team it always turns out to be a great investment. Each year we see employees leave happy, feeling appreciated and motivated to work hard for their employer. It gives our team at Event Kings a sense of pride to be able to bring world class catering, games, attractions, entertainment and event management to the corporate world.
Here are a few tips to make this year's picnic amazing!
Don't Forget the Kids
If a company chooses to include the families of their team members make sure to have activities and entertainment for them as well. Our carnival games attract kids of all ages and with prizes for participation everyone has fun! It's also a good idea to offer a craft that acts as a keepsake as well.




 Make It A Team Event
When companies combine teambuilding into their picnic they see more return on their investment. Games and challenges that encourage teams to work together achieves a few goals; one being that it brings staff from various departments together for a day. Another great benefit is that it forces teams to flex their problem solving skills while having fun.


Bring In Something Different
It shows your team you care when you change things up each year. The same old picnic can keep guests complacent. Our giant billiards is just one example of an attraction that is new and fun for everyone.

How will you picnic this year?

When we last discussed a fundraising event on the EK Blog, I filled you in on some fabulous fundraising options. By now, you understand that the return on investment or “ROI” of your expertly executed event (we can help you with that, trust me) transcends beyond donations. The way that a fantastic and functional fundraiser reflects on your organization is free advertising and all of that positive attention is going to generate generosities for years to come.
Take a look at The NY Islanders’ Casino Fundraiser: this event was the definition of a casual fun environment that got supporters

excited about the cause. Providing high quality entertainment options such as a photo booth treats your supporters like celebrities. 
That being said, there is no easier way to scare off a potential supporter than by accosting them with paper application or inaccessible information. Part of marketing a successful fundraising campaign into 2016 is by providing online and mobile access to your event. Facebook is one way to provide registrants with free online registration. Pay-Pal can be a great way to collect registration fees before the event. Going into the future, the organizations that are able to thrive are the ones that are able to keep up with our tech-savvy culture. Supporters love to see visual reinforcements on web of their donations through widgets and thermometers that keep track of the organization’s goals.

Event Kings knows how to execute fundraisers to perfection and can assist your organization in designing the kind of fundraiser that makes dollars and sense. A casino atmosphere is a creative way to keep your cause in the minds of your supporters as they enjoy your fabulous event. While supporters enjoys the tables they are

reminded of the real reason for the event each time they glance at the fun money printed with your moniker- to complete the authentic experience.

The sooner you realize that Fundraising Events are the future of your organization the sooner you too can reap the benefits of an event that generates pride, publicity and donations.

Bring Your Child to Work Day

Bring Your Child To Work Day

Learning & Fun Activities
Event Kings

According to Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Foundation- This year's National Take Your Child to Work Day is April 26th, 2012. 

Kids are always ecstatic to go to work with their Mom or Dad, because in their minds...
Work is way better than School!

Most companies have some activities and challenges for the children when they arrive at work with their parents.

Last year we planned and produced an array of learning and fun activities for a Corporate Company that was participating in the Holiday.

We provided some strolling entertainment like Balloon Artists & Stilt Walkers.

 

We also provided Carnival Tents with Old Fashioned Games. For participating in the games we give away Instant Win Candy & Small Prizes.



We had an Arts & Craft Station too. Most of the crafts we offer can be customized to your event or Company. For example we can put the logo of the company on a cookie, T-shirt or bag- and the kids can color it in and take it home to enjoy.

 
Color A Cookie- With Edible Coloring Markers

 
Decorate Your Own T-Shirt

Or some team building activities, like Giant Jenga, that help the children work together while still having fun.



Check with your HR Department to see if your company offers this experience, if they don't it might be a new idea to propose. You can always incorporate some education of your company into our activities.

If it is offered, you should double check the date- Some companies hold it on different days. Also, you should check the allowed age range- most recommend ages 8-15.


If you would like a proposal tailored to your Company for Bring Your Child To Work Day- Contact us and let us plan a Great Day for Your Children, and of course You!
