Exhibition Stand Entertainment

Keith Donaghy, 09-08-2021

*|MC:SUBJECT|*

Exhibition Stand Entertainment - Having a stand at a trade show or exhibition is a fantastic way to expose your brand and company to more potential customers in an effective, meaningful way. When you attend an exhibition or trade show, your main goal is obviously to bring more customers to your business and increase brand awareness, and the best way to do that is to employ some sort of entertainment to first draw people in, and then to get them really interested in and excited about what you have to say.

In essence, exhibition and trade show marketing requires compressed, high-impact experiential marketing events, and as such hiring entertainment is a fantastic way for your marketing efforts to stand out from the usual customised pen or bottle opener that will probably end its life on the conference room floor.

Entertainmentment to attract attention

Whilst it’s tempting to just go with the biggest, most impressive entertainment you could possibly find in order to bring people to your stand, if you really want people to become engaged with your brand or company, you need to take all the details of the event into account. Match your entertainment to the size and scope of your booth – a strong choice is a caricature artist who can use branded paper to sketch your booth attendees wearing branded shirts. This not only means your potential customers walk away with something they can hang up that will remind them of your brand, but have spent an extended amount of time in your booth. Hiring out a photo booth has the same basic principle, but also comes with the added bonus of having a customisable skin that can bear your company logo.

Another excellent option is to utilise food – nobody can resist ice cream, even in the middle of winter, so hiring in a cart with frozen treats can be a great way to drum up interest in your stand.

For something really outside the box you could have a close up magician performing tricks interwoven with product placement. The upside to having a magician working alongside your marketing team is that they can move throughout the crowd whilst performing, meaning people on the opposite side of the conference centre can be aware of your brand and actively seek you out.

If you approach your trade show or exhibition marketing with a clear-cut plan of action and an entertainment solution that can pull in the crowds, you’re guaranteed a successful event that allows you to grow your business and increase your customer base, but be careful: if all people can remember is your entertainment, and not the company behind it, you’ve wasted a lot of time and energy, so booking the right act should be top of the agenda. Successful marketing is all about making a lasting impression, not just a big one.

Once you’ve chosen the right entertainment option for your exhibition or trade show marketing, make sure you get in touch with us to check pricing and availability, and if you have any questions or need any entertainment advice, don’t forget we’re only a click or call away.

Awards Ceremony Entertainment

Keith Donaghy, 09-08-2021

*|MC:SUBJECT|*

Awards Ceremony Entertainment - If you’re organising an awards ceremony, you’ll want it to be a successful and memorable occasion.

There’s more to an awards ceremony than the awards themselves – you’ll need to plan an entire event to make the awards ceremony really worth attending. Awards create a buzz, and are a lovely way to acknowledge the success of individuals or a team within your organisation.

Rewarding those who work hard has been an important part of business and social organisation life since the beginning of time, and with good reason. Recognition motivates people, and makes them feel like their work is valued. It’s also a way to get the entire company or group together to showcase the best they have to offer – and encourage others to become part of that group in the following year.

Visuals

When we think about awards ceremonies, all the big, infamous ceremonies tend to come to mind – we’ve all stayed up a little bit too late watching the Academy Awards or BAFTAs. It’s unlikely that you’ll be holding an awards ceremony at this kind of scale, but it does make sense to set a good chunk of your budget away for your audio and visual requirements.

You’ll need something visually interesting to keep your crowd entertained, as well as to announce who is taking the stage, but don’t go too far with the flash and forget about the actual reason you’re having the event.

Music

You can’t have an awards show without music, and whilst it may be tempting to hook up Alan from accounting’s laptop and be done with it, it makes much more sense to hire in a professional. You need someone who knows how to host professional events, how to react to the unexpected, and who knows how to take a cue.

Hiring a live band is an excellent way to add a bit of life to an awards ceremony – nothing can create an atmosphere quite like a live band, and having them playing your intro/outro music is a great way to energise your award ceremony attendees. The most dangerous part of any awards ceremony is the actual award giving segment – this is where boredom is most likely to creep in amongst your guests, so having a live band here could really pay off.

Speakers

Most awards ceremonies are held after a formal sit down meal, so the night can drag along a bit if you put everything you’re planning into the space after the desserts are served. Before dinner is served, consider having a speaker take to the stage to get your crowd engaged and excited about the company and the upcoming event.

If you don’t feel charismatic enough to host the entire awards ceremony yourself, consider passing the responsibility on to a compère or emcee. They’re industry professionals, and they’ll know how to keep your event running smoothly and on time.

The after party

Few awards ceremonies end after the closing speeches, so if you’re putting a ceremony together you’ll need to remember to organise entertainment for afterwards as well. An awards ceremony after party is a great chance for the attendees to network in a relaxed environment. When you’re setting the table for the sit down dinner, make your placeholders double up as lanyards than can be worn during this networking party portion of the evening. If you’ve hired a live band or DJ to play at the awards ceremony, utilise them now, to keep your guests entertained and encourage them to mingle. At this stage of the evening you could even bring in a mixologist who can serve themed cocktails with flourish bartending.

When the big day of your awards ceremony rolls around, you should be ready and rearing to go – make sure you have all your preparatory work done before hand, so your event can run as smoothly as possible. Your attendees should feel entertained, and your award winners should feel honoured, which leaves no room for anyone to feel stressed!

Drinks Reception Entertainment Ideas

Keith Donaghy, 05-08-2021

*|MC:SUBJECT|*

Providing a drinks reception with live music is a great way to break the ice at any event. It encourages your guests to mingle, but keeps things understated. A drinks reception is the perfect solution for the interval before a wedding reception, a summer garden party, downtime during a corporate event, or even a sophisticated birthday party.

You might be tempted to just provide some light refreshments and let your guests fend for themselves, but why not really make your drinks reception special with some background music?

Drinks reception musicians

At any drinks reception, having some light, gentle background music can really set the tone. Finding the perfect background musician can be more difficult than it seems, however.

You need someone who is talented enough to get noticed, but who won’t overpower the whole event in the way a live five-piece band would. The whole point of a drinks reception is to get your guests chatting and socialising – having a musical act that prevents that from happening is definitely not a good idea.

Popular choices when it comes to background music for a drinks reception include a string quartet, or a pianist, but if you want something a little more upbeat for your drinks reception music, a swing or jazz singer could be an excellent choice.

Hiring a pianist who also sings is another excellent way to take your drinks reception music to the next level – or if you want to go a bit more outside the box, consider a harpist, or even a saxophonist. See All Musicians Here

Entertainers for drinks receptions

Your drinks reception entertainment doesn’t have to be confined to background music, though. There are plenty of understated, non-intrusive entertainment options that are perfect for entertaining guests in a casual, sophisticated environment.

Consider hiring a magician who can perform close up magic rather than one who does a stage show. They can mingle with your crowd without drawing major attention, and most will make sure they’ve performed for everyone present before the event is over.

A caricature artist is another excellent choice when it comes to non-musical entertainment, because audience participation is optional. When you’re trying to create a relaxed environment, optional-participation entertainment is key, because some people are going to prefer to simply chat and have a drink instead of becoming involved with the entertainment.

Book entertainment for drinks reception

When it comes to organising subtle entertainment and background music for a drinks reception, getting it right means you’re going to wow your guests. It’s not difficult to find the perfect fit for your party when you know what to look for – something simple, understated, and elegant is sure to impress.

Have a search on BookEntertainment and look at our talented, professional musicians and entertainment acts, perfect for any sophisticated drinks reception or party, and once you’ve created the perfect package for your event.
