Ideas For Outdoor Events and Summer Corporate Events

Outdoor 20′ Tent, Table, Flags for Corporate Events

Outdoor company events provide an incredible platform for team building, camaraderie, and appreciation of hard work in a refreshing and relaxed setting. To create a branded, cohesive look and feel, consider incorporating custom signage – like branded tents, tables, chairs, and banners – to make the event uniquely yours. These items not only transform a regular outdoor event into a professionally curated gathering, but they also amplify your brand visibility and provide a memorable backdrop for event photos.

In terms of functional necessities, branded drinkware such as wine tumblers or retail brand insulated tumblers are excellent ways to quench thirst while subtly promoting your brand. They serve as a useful keepsake that your employees can use long after the event.

As for apparel, providing employees with custom t-shirts, or lightweight performance pullover jackets can foster a sense of unity and belonging, further strengthening your team’s identity. Plus, these items act as walking advertisements, spreading awareness about your brand.

Gifts are another thoughtful touch that can leave a lasting impression. Whether it’s a luxury item, a tech gadget, or something playful and fun, a well-chosen branded gift can show your appreciation for your team’s hard work and dedication, bolstering their morale and commitment.

Summer Promotional Items for Picnics

Cooler Tote

Company picnics are an excellent way to cultivate a sense of community and camaraderie among employees. They provide a casual, relaxed setting that encourages interaction and bonding outside the formal confines of the workplace. Plus, they offer an opportunity to enjoy the great outdoors and the benefits of fresh air and sunshine.

When planning a company picnic, consider the interests and preferences of your employees. This might involve conducting a survey to identify popular food options, recreational activities, and preferred locations. From a sunny beach picnic to a relaxed gathering in a local park or even a barbecue in your company’s backyard, the possibilities are endless.

In terms of food, consider catering from a favorite local restaurant. You could even make it a potluck where everyone contributes a dish, offering an excellent opportunity for team members to showcase their culinary skills and cultural cuisines.

The activities at the picnic should be inclusive and engaging. Traditional picnic games like sack races, tug of war, and frisbee can be great ice-breakers. For a unique twist, consider organizing a scavenger hunt or a team-building obstacle course.

Moreover, consider providing branded merchandise such as picnic blankets, coolers, totes, reusable water bottles, or even custom frisbees. Not only will these items enhance the picnic experience, but they also serve as a lasting reminder of a day of fun and camaraderie.

In essence, a company picnic is more than just a fun day out. It’s a chance to build stronger relationships, boost morale, and create lasting memories – all while enjoying the beauty of the great outdoors.
