In your company, are you responsible for booking venues, facilities, restaurants and organizing transportation for meetings and events?
| Meeting Planning as a Team Effort |
Planners can never go wrong with flower arrangements when looking to spruce up a meeting space. Flowers have the ability to set the mood for an event, as each variety comes packed with its own history of symbolic meaning. In order to maximize the impact of your arrangements, make sure the flowers you choose express the ambiance of the current season and that the flowers complement the space’s furnishings and design elements. The size of the arrangements is also an important factor. Too big, and the flowers will overpower the room. Too small, and they will go unnoticed.
Elaine’s Florist & Gift Baskets is one of Houston’s most recognized names when it comes to the flower business. Corporate favorites include basket and vase arrangements featuring long-lasting flowers, perfect for table centerpieces at banquets or gifts for office celebrations. In addition to arrangements that feature perennial favorites such as roses and tulips, Elaine’s also specializes in tropical flowers and plants. Recognized by The Houston Press as “The Best Houston Florist,” Elaine’s highly professional staff is prepared to create arrangements that meet your specifications and décor needs.
Dumping the flower arrangements for your banquet after the show is over is only a waste of the florist’s talent and your precious budget. Why not allow your guests to take them home for their added pleasure? Or better yet, ask the florist to donate your flowers to a hospital or nursing home, ensuring that someone in your community will have a brighter day thanks to your thoughtful generosity.
Technology
As we have noted throughout our publications, the meetings and events business is now a technology-heavy industry. Planners should get the most out of audiovisual technology while being informative and entertaining at the same time. The most successful planners also know the advantage of maintaining a trained staff that can operate all the latest equipment and are generally tech-savvy.
Event service companies like Simply Jubilee Events, Inc. can put you in touch with the audiovisual equipment vendors that are best suited to your budget and corporate meeting needs. They can also staff your event to make sure that you’re not left without the know-how to operate your equipment. It’s an investment worth the expense, especially if technology is the marquee component of your function.
