Plan Early to Stand Out: Holiday Engagement Strategies for Success
The summer months are coming to a close and while fall is in the air, for event planners and marketers, September brings a different kind of excitement: it's the ideal time to start planning your holiday client engagements and gifts! Yes, you read that right. Before the holiday frenzy begins, September offers a strategic window to lock down the engagements you need to leave your mark.
At Acquire, we specialize in crafting customized wine experiences and gifts, but it’s so much more than that. We believe in the power of well-executed experiences to elevate our clients' brands while leaving lasting impressions. Whether you’re planning an internal virtual event for teams that work remotely, or you want to engage clients and prospects, Acquire has you covered.
Why Plan Now?
Less Competition - September acts as a sweet spot between the summer vacation season and the holiday rush. This translates to better vendor availability, more flexibility with scheduling, and potentially lower costs compared to the peak holiday season.
Reduced Stress - The holiday season is already filled with stress. Planning your events early allows you to avoid the last-minute scramble and focus on enjoying the festivities.
Enhanced Customization - When you plan ahead, you can work closely with vendors to create truly personalized experiences. From unique gift boxes to decor and tailored menus, early planning ensures that your event reflects your brand and preferences.
We can help you plan the perfect event, whether it's a virtual gathering or an intimate in-person experience. Here are a few ideas to get the creativity flowing:
Customer & Prospect Virtual Whiskey Tasting
Engage your customers and prospects with a high-end whiskey tasting featuring rare whiskies like Weller, E.H. Taylor, or Pappy. Whiskey is seasonally appropriate and these distillers, along with some fun content from your sales or marketing team, are sure to drive attendance.
Customized Gifting Campaign
For a more personalized touch, consider sending your clients a wine gift that is personalized and comes with a handwritten note. We can add company logos to Riedel glassware, chocolate truffles, and more! All gift boxes are fully customizable with plenty of high-end non-alcoholic options available. This thoughtful gesture shows your appreciation and reinforces your brand.
Interactive Cooking Virtual Experiences
Gather your team that works remotely and share a meal! We ship tasting menus directly to your doorstep. Our Michelin chefs will prepare a four-course meal with wine pairings by yours truly. This low-lift cooking experience is FUN, fosters a sense of community, and creates a memorable learning experience.
Don't wait until the holiday rush takes hold! By planning your client engagements early, you can create unique experiences that foster stronger relationships, generate excitement for the upcoming season, and leave a lasting impression on your most valued partners.
