HOSPITALITY PROGRAMME: THE RECIPE FOR THE BEST VIP COCKTAIL!

Do you think the best recipe for a VIP cocktail is to put a handful of crushed ice in a glass, add a dash of alcohol combined with quality fruit juices? That's wrong! It’s your PR strategy that will make your VIP guests enjoy your cocktail!

Sharing a drink and experiencing emotions in a special environment promote good relations with your guests, whether they are customers, prospects, partners or employees. Designing a Hospitality Programme is therefore a lever to be considered to help you develop your business relationships. For it to be as effective as possible, you need to get involved and build a public relations strategy.

But how? First, by adapting your programme to what matters to you: ask yourself the right questions! Then, look for the best package for your VIP drinks: more the intimacy of a box or the conviviality of a lounge? In this article, discover the key ingredients in the recipe for your VIP drinks to be a success with your guests. Tips from our white paper that guides you through 4 keys to success for your Hospitality Programme.

ADAPT YOUR HOSPITALITY PROGRAMME TO WHAT MATTERS TO YOU

From selecting guests to choosing the event space, everything must be carefully prepared.
Strengthening your brand image, building the loyalty of your best customers, presenting your latest product or even attracting prospects… whatever your objective, public relations are your ally in achieving it.
Start by defining what you expect from the event.
Then characterise your targets. Based on this study, choose an easy-to-access location for your guests. Also, define their interests to choose an attractive event. With these two criteria, you double your chances of getting a better response rate.
Finally, determine the budget allocated to this drinks event to align the VIP offers and packages on the market. Ask yourself what the “value” of your guests is or what quality of service you would like to offer.
As you will have understood, an attractive invitation is not only an attractive programme or a “champagne and petits fours” service, but the one that most accurately responds to your challenges and your guests.

SERVE THE BEST VIP COCKTAIL TO YOUR GUESTS

It should be remembered that Hospitality offers the possibility of accessing different VIP services: private use of a space, invitation to a box, special welcome, "open bar" drinks... Depending on your strategy and the tone desired for your event, several packages are therefore possible.
Access to a VIP lounge after a major sporting tournament is perfect for prolonging the festive atmosphere. While the private box has a premium and prestigious character for communicating in complete confidentiality with an unobstructed view of the show.
Whether in a lounge or in a box, inviting your guests to VIP drinks in these special conditions means creating an unforgettable memory and forging stronger ties with them.
