Marketing 101’s Post

Ready for a heartwarming holiday tale? 🎄🎁 The Rockwood Park Christmas Market just wrapped up, and let me tell you, it was HUGE! Think twinkling lights, the smell of gingerbread, and enough handcrafted goodies to make even Scrooge crack a smile. It was basically Christmas shopping heaven for anyone who appreciates supporting local artisans. This is fantastic news for small businesses, showing the power of community events. 👉 Local vendors raked in the sales, helping spread holiday cheer AND boost their bottom line. Win-win! 👉 Shoppers scored unique, personalized gifts – way better than another generic sweater from a big box store! 👉 The entire event sounds like a major success story for everyone involved. But here's the real kicker: This isn't just about pretty presents and hot chocolate; it's about the power of community. The market showcased the amazing talent within the Rockwood Park area, and it brought people together to celebrate the holidays in a truly special way. What does this tell us about the importance of local markets and supporting small businesses year-round? 🤔 So, what are YOUR thoughts? Did you make it to the Rockwood Park Christmas Market?

Extreme thoughtfulness, inclusion, and generosity will always separate you from the crowd. All you have to do is pay attention. Here's a quick story from Unreasonable Hospitality. Will Guidara was bussing tables one night and overheard the four guests talking about their culinary adventure in NY. They ate at 4 of the best restaurants the city has to offer. The only thing they hadn't eaten was a street dog aka a dirty water dog. So what did Will do? He ran out to the cart on the corner, brought the hot dog back to the kitchen, and asked the chef to plate it. It was plated like it was part of their gourmet meal, and it no doubt blew their minds. Gift giving isn't about extravagance. It's about the emotional impact on the recipient. It's not what you give, but how it makes them feel. Each gift carries a priceless story. A story that will forever be in the memories of the people who receive them. Isn't a lasting impression what we all want to create at events and trade shows? Skip the branded merch. Focus on meaningful gestures. And as the story of the hot dog proves, it doesn't need to be expensive. -------------------- Hi, I'm Jay Designing experiences for trade shows that drive ROI for our clients. #business #branding #sales #marketing #eventprofs 

Go Green... There are some great options out there to ensure your event has less of an effect on the environment. Decide if you would be better off loading all of your event paper handouts into an App which can perform multiple other functions. Consider handing out Keep Cups as part of your gift bag, sign up to a floral service who re-use event flowers for another purpose.
