The Busy Season Begins! Plan ahead and book Purely Polished for your events to avoid missing out!
Spring is here and it’s time to refresh some of those ideas, to welcome new and exciting experiences that will be remembered for years. Spring Carnival has been around since the 1880s and has evolved from just a horse race into an event full of fun activities for the whole family. Nowadays, when you think about the Spring Carnival or Melbourne Cup, you probably imagine big colours, people dancing and lots, and lots of catering.
However, this is only one small part of what makes up this massive annual celebration. What is on your list of to-do’s for the silly season this year? What is the one thing you have been wanting to do, but just never had the time? Spring is here and it’s time to refresh some of those ideas, to welcome new and exciting experiences that will be remembered for years.
Managers are planning for the rest of the year, and bookings for Beauty & Wellness Services are in demand as the community pushes for value and purpose from organisations. From team office pampers, to building activations, events and campaigns to end-of-year celebrations - the time to bring people together is here with several national events to get involved in, starting with Spring Carnival!
The Spring Carnival.
The Spring Carnivale is an exciting and colourful event that you don't want to miss. It's a great way to get into the spirit of the season with the sun out, socialising and connecting with people in your community!
Australia's greatest event for social goodness including the Melbourne cup (which is on November 6th) is only a month away. If you're looking for fun ways to celebrate your love for horses and fashion then look no further than this year’s spring carnival. Give your community a reason to dress up!
You can set the scene for your Melbourne Cup event with a creative concept that will help you wrap your theme together through dress codes, venue, decoration, message and purpose.
Dress codes: Whether it's an invitation-only event or an open bar party at a local pub - have a dress code in mind to conceptually represent a united community. Whether it’s through colour or a little accessory to represent a particular theme, its a great way to start conversations and get people engaged.
Venue: Make sure there are enough spaces where people can mingle comfortably without being too crowded. Consider having multiple areas so guests can move around as they please rather than being stuck in one spot all night long - especially if some guests might not know each other very well yet!
Decoration: Decorate with great value additions to entice people to navigate around the room. With little pop-ups in different corners, and food splattered around on different tables. Drinks on the other, with a photo wall for ops. Whatever you choose, set up your event with an experiential mindset in place and think about how to get people moving around the room.
Message: Take advantage of having everyone together and prepare a meaningful message to deliver to your company
It's a great time to inspire your team with your vision and mission.
Thank everyone for their time, and show genuine care.
Tell them about the importance of their roles and their value.
Explain why you've brought everyone together at this time, and what it means for them as an individual and for the company as a whole.
