Brand experience generally includes 3 aspects: Product Experience, Shopping and Service Experience, and Consumption Experience. Each aspect should be designed with your target audience in mind and emphasize your brand’s voice and personality.
Finding the right event staff, such as promotional models, servers, and bartenders for hire can truly enhance your guests’ service experience and anchor a positive first impression. Below are a few ideas about how partnering with a reputable hospitality staffing agency can benefit your grand opening celebration.
1. Request Promotional Models
Promotional models, brand ambassadors, greeters, and other event models are an important human element of your live campaign. Imagine a smiley face greeting your guest or potential client at the entrance. It already sets a positive mood for the experience ahead. Promotional models can be positioned throughout the event space to hand out flyers and product samples, perform live demonstrations, answer questions, and create other interactive opportunities.
2. Offer Bartending Services
With the addition of a bar, your grand opening is now a real party. While setting it up requires some additional planning and sourcing, the idea is worth it. It will put your guests in a celebratory mood and give them a reason to stay awhile. A good hospitality staffing agency will provide you with qualified professional bartenders for hire who will take care of all the setup, service, and breakdown duties. And your invitees will appreciate having a cocktail to sip on while experiencing your product or offering.
3. Add Catering
To complete your event experience, consider finding a caterer or a private chef and offering small bites throughout the evening. Canapes and other one-bite hors d'œuvres, as well as miniature desserts, are always a crowd-pleaser. Just like the beverages, food offerings greatly increase the chances of your guests lingering longer. Think stronger brand connections and more exposure such as streams of social media posts. Ask your partner event staffing agency to provide enough servers for hire (they should be able to help you figure out the right number based on your guest count) and bussers to keep the event space clean.
