Video sent to a hotel that had a women's event. In this video I offered ideas specific to that event and with a certain price range for their budget. A great selection of custom-branded merchandise for a women's event at a hotel! Each item has a useful purpose and reinforces the brand while offering a personal touch. Here's a breakdown of why these items are great choices: - Emergency Health Kit: Practical and essential, making it a thoughtful gift, especially in a hospitality setting. - Contigo Water Bottle: A high-quality, reusable item with good branding potential and daily usage. - Airplane and Pillow Stress Reliever: Fun and stress-relieving, fitting for a travel-themed or relaxation event. - Flat Flashlight: Compact and practical, with an excellent print area and bright light, ideal for night use. - Sleeping Mask: Perfect for promoting relaxation and well-being, especially in a travel context. - Nail File & Large Pedicure File: Great for self-care, offering large branding areas to maximize visibility. - Lint Remover: Useful and convenient, ensuring attendees look sharp, while keeping your brand visible. - Socks: Cozy and practical, can feature a creative design that matches the event theme. - Lip Balm: Always appreciated and useful, providing a small yet effective branding area. - Sunglasses: Perfect for outdoor events or gifting, especially in sunny Florida, offering a large area for logos. These items combine functionality with brand visibility, which should make them memorable for attendees. Is there anything specific you'd like to emphasize when pitching this idea or in terms of how to present the package? https://lnkd.in/eEy4dMxs #hotels #hotelevent #womenevent

🎉 We're excited to launch our brand new company values...This is us! 🚀 Last week at our all together annual meeting we launched our brand new values campaign - This is us! 📝 This is all about who we are, what we stand for, and where we are going. 🤝 Josiah Hincks has changed a lot over recent years, and so it felt like a good time to re-assess, re-define and re-evaluate those fundamental values. 💡 As the Firm continues to grow and develop, these values are the things that we must not lose sight of. They will infiltrate and influence every aspect of our business, impacting every decision and every step. 🔽 So...This is us. https://lnkd.in/eAsGB_Z2 #Lawinyourlanguage #Solicitors #Leicester #Values

Next Thursday, Space Craft Joinery is hosting an event called Around the Kitchen Counter, which will highlight the professional journeys of some incredible women from our clientele. In all honesty, I’ve been nervous—this is the first time we've run an event like this, and we've invested a lot of time and energy. The fear of it flopping has definitely crossed my mind more than once. Here’s the thing: our most successful projects for clients over the years—those where everything ran smoothly and everyone was thrilled with the outcome—often come from referrals by our valued clients and builders. They’ve truly been our greatest advocates. So, this event is not just about celebrating achievements; it’s also about fostering connections and seeking a bit of help in sharing what we do best. I’m hoping that a great night, with food by Kate Ness from Peechabella, bubbles and wine from Alluca, and a chance to win a weekend at Ingoldby Road, will make it worth attending! Thankfully, we’ve got a full house, and I’m really looking forward to meeting a fantastic group of women (and their +1s). Huge shoutout to our speakers, Kellie Campbell-Illingworth, Sally Ness, Tamsin Simounds, and our incredible host, Amy Springhall. And I couldn’t have pulled this off without Karen Costa, who’s been doing all the legwork behind the scenes to make it all happen. If you're not a subscriber to our newsletter, I apologise if you missed the invite to this event! To ensure you receive future invitations for events like this one, please consider subscribing. https://lnkd.in/g57WXMN3 If you'd like to attend should we host it again, let me know! Your feedback would be invaluable in helping us determine the interest for a repeat event. We’d love to hear from you! Here’s to pushing past that comfort zone… Fingers crossed I’ll have some great imagery and a full report to share next week on how it all went! #AroundTheKitchenCounter #ProfessionalJourneys #Networking #Referrals #ClientAppreciation
