Create Demand And It Will Come

‘Shining Plates Luncheon’ by Leukaemia Foundation

Creating an event that is in demand is rare for charities these days, however on a day clashing fathers day the Shining Plates Luncheon at Montrachet in Paddington was completely sold out.

Montrachet is an amazing french restaurant in Paddington – The luncheon consisted of a 6 course degustation menu with matching wine (all authentically french).

The chef/ owner of Montrachet (Thierry Galichet) is extremely welcoming and accommodating to requests, the staff are amazing and you know you will receive quality food and service. www.montrachet.com.au

With fantastic auction prizes and raffles, the Leukaemia Foundation raised close to $35,000 from the day.

This event, occurring annually around September is extremely limited in numbers, but would be one that should be added as a must attend for the year.

Is it money well spent?

To corporate entertain… or not to corporate entertain?

Well… it depends on your business objectives. There is ALWAYS a need to entertain your top clients (everyone you deal with is a client).

It’s too much money you say…

Not really… it’s just a matter of looking outside the square. There are the usual types of corporate entertaining like:

Football, AFL, Cricket, Rugby, theatre, races, motorsport… These options are spectacular but can be over budget on occasion. VIP corporate entertaining is always popular as clients enjoy being waited on while entertained.

However… Why not think of smaller more intimate options like: Restaurants (degustation meal), the Art Gallery (exhibitions), festivals (VIP areas), host your own ‘mini’ event designed for the client, start a membership program for loyal clients… the list is endless.

It is not always about taking them to grand events, it is also about showing your appreciation for their patronage in any form.
