Everybody loves a party, and the FASTSIGNS team is no exception! That’s just what your Grand Opening is… a fantastic party to celebrate your business! There’s a lot that goes into preparing for a Grand Opening. Here are some things to consider making the maximum impact with your event!
Planning
When you’re deciding on a date, be sure to think about holidays and other special events in your area that may cause a conflict. Push it far enough out to give yourself a realistic amount of time to give your preparation the attention it needs.
Once you’ve got the date, start visualizing the venue. Will you have the Grand Opening at your office, off-site, or both? Will you have live music or a DJ? Do you need to make special arrangements for children’s entertainment? Will you be serving food? Will you be doing an appreciation gift or giveaway?
Once you decide upon these details, things will go smoothly if you design a timeline for each idea, and make sure that you follow that timeline.
Promotion
Promotion is the key ingredient to a successful event. Promote your Grand Opening with flyers and emails ahead of time. Do a blast on social media in advance of your big event. If possible, advertise the event at any professional groups you may belong to. The Chamber of Commerce can help get the word out. Issue a press release. Make sure all your existing customers know about the event, and encourage them to invite others. Think outside the box when it comes to promoting.
Are you unsure what to get for successful promotion? What about a vehicle wrap? Do you want flag signs out by the road? You might want to order banners.
