And despite everyone&rsquo;s best efforts, January comes much sooner than we ever want it to. That&rsquo;s why, if you have any intentions of&nbsp;hosting an end-of-year <a href=\"https:\/\/www.constantcontact.com\/features\/event-management\">event<\/a>&nbsp;that will get your customers and supporters together, now is the time to start planning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whether held in-person or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.constantcontact.com\/blog\/event-marketing-strategies\/\">virtually<\/a>, an event gives your business or organization an opportunity to create intimacy and make a more personal connection with those you come in contact with. When you invite customers and members to a special event, you&rsquo;re building relationships &mdash; with personal, face-to-face contact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pro Tip:  Don&rsquo;t forget to promote your event using these <a href=\"https:\/\/www.constantcontact.com\/blog\/event-marketing-strategies\/\">7 Top Event Marketing Strategies<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here are some end-of-year events that businesses and organizations can put together to bring in customers, clients, members, donors, prospects, and others:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1. Customer\/Client Appreciation Night<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Put a fresh spin on year-end sales or promotions by hosting a &ldquo;Special VIP Night.&rdquo; Your event could be a private preview of holiday gifts or a new product line, an invitation to consult with a personal shopper, or a gift giveaway to &ldquo;the first 100 attendees.&rdquo;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. Special Guest, Entertainment, or Demonstratio<\/strong>n<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Between work parties, holiday travel, and family get-togethers, holiday calendars are as tight as Santa&rsquo;s red suit. Entice people to put your event on their calendars by bringing in a special guest, entertainer, or expert. It could be an author, a political candidate, a musical entertainer, a professional shopper, a gift-wrapping expert, or someone who has benefitted from your organization&rsquo;s work. Whatever complements your business and engages people will be a fun break from the holiday grind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. Joint Event with Other Local Businesses<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Invite all the merchants on your street to host an event with you. If you&rsquo;re an entrepreneur who works out of a home office or small office, invite other related businesses to host a get-together for all your customers. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uschamber.com\/co\/chambers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Chambers of Commerce<\/a> are especially good at these types of events, which bring businesses and their community together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4. Fundraising Event<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The holiday time puts people in a giving spirit, so bring the community together one last time this year to raise some more funds for a good cause. Whether you&rsquo;re a nonprofit organization or a business that supports one, your event can bring a charity&rsquo;s mission home. Invite donors, members, volunteers, and other interested supporters to meet people engaged in the charity&rsquo;s work and to hear its success stories first-hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>5. House Party<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your business is based on home and internet sales, a holiday house party is a great idea. Give shoppers an alternative to the hassle of the mall and invite them to come over, relax, and shop from the comfort of your home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your home just isn&rsquo;t right for a large gathering, make it a virtual house party with everyone attending from their own living rooms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-background wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"background-color:#ccf8f9;font-size:18px\"><strong>TIP: <\/strong>Make your virtual event even better by sending out party packs in advance. Whether it&rsquo;s noisemakers and confetti or a bit of company swag, fill these packages with everything your attendees will need to celebrate with you from the comfort of their own homes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A special event adds a personal touch to your holiday marketing efforts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your event doesn&rsquo;t have to be a big fancy soiree, it just needs to align with your brand, your resources, and your customers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can have a great end-of-year event. And it doesn&rsquo;t have to cost a lot. With some thought, planning, and promotion, you can end the year on a high note. <\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The end of the year is a busy one for everyone, whether you&rsquo;re selling, fundraising, or buying.
