Months have already passed, and we are still uncertain of what lies ahead especially in the events industry. Fortunately, the events industry has found ways to hold important occasions and events, although it also meant fewer in-person gatherings. Most events nowadays were held online, which we should be thankful for because we can make the most of technology.
Events will not take a backseat… unless in a virtual setting
A lot of businesses including event rentals, table, and chair rentals, and corporate tent rentals suppliers were affected by the pandemic. Events that require in-person gathering have to take a backseat in the meantime for everyone’s safety. Hence, virtual/online events.
That said, this pandemic did not mark the end of the events industry. Rather, there were only changes in how we implemented and executed it. And now that it’s November, we cannot help but wonder about the future of the events industry.
More so, are these current event trends will stick around even after the pandemic has gone? Surely, it won’t be long before we know that.
Thinking about a gimmick this November?
November, the 11th month of the year, and autumn’s last month before winter arrives. This month is not only celebrating Thanksgiving at the end of the month. There are actually other themes or causes that are worth celebrating or made aware of in public. If you are a business owner, regardless of the industry, you can integrate these themes with your marketing promotions.
Most of these “holidays” or themes may not be as popular as Thanksgiving. But you can take this opportunity to connect to your customers through these observances. Aside from Thanksgiving, other “awareness causes” for this month include:
- Black Friday
- Latin American Month
- AIDS Awareness Month
- Peanut Butter Lover’s Month
- Epilepsy Awareness Month
- Alzheimer’s Awareness Month
- Adoption Month
- No-Shave November
- Entrepreneurship Month
These are only some of the few awareness causes slated for November. There are actually a lot more unmentioned here, but these can give you ideas on how to integrate this awareness into your business.
Event ideas based on November awareness causes
With so many awareness causes you can choose, there are endless possibilities when integrating them with your marketing campaigns. It can be applicable whether you won an events rental or any kind of business. Here are some ideas you can use as part of your business promotion.
Health and wellness awareness
November is also Lung Cancer, Epilepsy, Diabetes, and Pancreatic Cancer awareness month. Not everyone is aware of the impact of these medical conditions unless they themselves or a loved one has one of these types of illnesses.
You can share facts and myths about these conditions on social media pages. Or you can hold events like fun runs or weekend bazaars and then donate parts of the proceeds to a chosen beneficiary.
Instilling a sound business mindset
This month is also the National Entrepreneurial Month. We give an ode to hardworking business owners, whether you own party rentals or offer wedding rental packages. As a business owner, you can also inspire people who are planning to start their own businesses.
You can organize a webinar or live videos on your social media pages. You can share your journey as a business owner. You can also post inspirational quotes related to leadership, perseverance, and other business-related posts. You can also interview someone related to your industry and hold a Q&A session afterward.
Start a contest for your followers.
November is also the so-called No Shave November. This is actually a movement to make aware of men’s health issues. You can start a photo competition for your followers sporting the best (and weirdest) beards and they can win a prize. Or, you can post you and your employees’ photos givin’ your grown beard some lovin’.
Good ol’ discounts and promos
Who doesn’t love discounts and savings? Now is your chance to entice your customers by having promotions and discounts. Black Friday is coming, so come join in the shopping madness soon! You can also come up with your own hashtag (ex. #*Name of company*BlackFriday)
Conclusion
Every day should be celebrated despite what is going on right now. If your business is still alive and thriving, you should be thankful for it.
