VENUE REVUE

Does the following scenario sound familiar..?

You are planning a team day for your team. It's an offsite / away day and you want it to be memorable, exciting, motivational, fun and at the same time serve as an important business process.

As it is rare to get the entire team together in one place you have also decided that the first hour or two of the day will be a quick 'state of the nation' catch up - a look at plans going forward and a canter through the recent sales figures.

Now you have managed to secure a budget but times are still hard - after all our illustrious new government keeps telling us that now is the age of austerity - and so you decide that for the sake of prudence you'll take advantage of the training rooms on the 5th floor.

BIG MISTAKE

The point is this - you have to engage and excite people in order to motivate and inspire them and you wont do this at work!

When people literally get to go -offsite they change. They can no longer nip to their desks or feel inclined just to do a couple of things at lunch time. What's more - we all like a nice venue - a good lunch - a chance to wander around some beautiful gardens or at least hang out in a funky venue

At Poisson Rouge we place a HUGE amount of importance on being able to find and contract venues that are ideal for your business needs and a really great venue can make the difference between an offsite being a phenomenal success and merely - yet another training day.

For this reason we have a dedicated venue resource. We have a vast database and working knowledge of venues all over the world. We visit at least two new ones every week of the year. We work with venues - we hold showcases in them - we get to know their marketing teams, and we share feedback and client experiences.

Our venue team will find you venues wherever you need to be and we do this FREE of charge. Whilst if course we love all our clients and would happily work for nothing anyway - we are fortunate that venues pay us a commission of between 8% and 10% for bringing business to them whilst still ensuring that we get the best possible rates so there is no detriment and only advantage to you in letting us help you.

So - please please please - don't ignore the importance of the venue - there some really cool venues out there to match every budget.
