Cooking classes are a great way to get out, have some fun, and learn something new. Regardless of previous cooking experience, there is sure to be something they will take away from the experience. There’s a variety of classes available. We recommend searching for a local option, or you cannot go wrong with Sur la Table.

For the fitness fanatic: a ClassPass membership

Physical wellness is another wonderful way to try something new. ClassPass is an app that works with local boutique fitness studios to offer classes to ClassPass members without joining the specific gym or studio. It is a great way to try different group classes, switch up a workout routine, and find a class that works best for a busy schedule. There are several levels of subscription based on the number of classes a month.

For the family of school age children: a Kuloko Co. subscription box

One lesson we’ve been able to take away from the last few years is the importance of mental health. This is not only a topic for adults, but equally crucial for children. Kuloko Co. offers a subscription box program that encourages better understanding of basic emotions for children aged 9-12. Developed by a family psychologist, these monthly boxes breakdown how to deal with emotions in healthy ways using stories, games, and activities for the entire family.

For the animal lover: a zoo membership

Zoos are a great source of education as well as conservation. Not to mention it’s a wonderful way to spend the day! By gifting a membership to the local zoo you are giving someone the chance to take they’re time getting to know all the animals and activities present. This also gives them the flexibility to make a trip spur of the moment, even if it’s a quick visit, without planning in advance.

For the one that lives far away: a digital frame

Skylight is a digital frame that allows you to email photos that will appear on the frame display within seconds. The frame plays a constant rotation of all the photos. This is the perfect gift for anyone who misses being near the rest of the family or friend group. It’s also an effective way to share updates of a growing family member or pregnancy for someone who cannot visit often.

For the one who just moved out: a family recipe

Pass along your favorite recipe to your family member or friend to share the flavors you think they’d enjoy too. You can take this a step farther by supplying the ingredients, and/or offering a day to make the recipe together the first time.

How micro events are making a big impact in the corporate space

As we continue to ensure safety in our industry, we wonder if you’ve considered hosting any micro events? Planned for up to 100 attendees, micro events are a wonderful way to connect delegates, inspire teams, and offer a much-needed break from virtual engagement. These smaller gatherings offer an unique appeal and add exclusivity to guests attending, among other benefits. Let’s take a closer look at how micro events are making a big impact in the corporate space.

Micro events may come in the form of meetings, training sessions, intimate dinners, or executive retreats. While they may not include as many names on the guest list, there are still many things to consider when planning a micro event.

While continuing to follow CDC guidelines, smaller events with a local focus can add value to participants while remaining courteous of the safety of all in attendance. Decreasing the number of participants does not mean decreasing the potential of the event.

Focusing on exclusivity brings appeal to micro events.

Have you ever considered making a purchase or commitment because the offer boasted exclusivity? This is due to the Scarcity Principle. This economic principle states that value is increased when there is low supply of an item in high demand. In other words, the more rare something is, the more valuable it becomes.

Creating an exclusive and/or opulent experience is absolutely doable, even if the event is not necessarily grand in size. By working with a smaller number of attendees, event producers are able to bring more to each individual experience.

When planning micro events, it is important to engage the curiosity of potential attendees by ensuring a unique and valuable experience.

Micro events encourage deeper connections.

When attending large conferences or online events, it can be challenging to make genuine connections. Smaller events often allow those in attendance to engage with other participants in a more intimate nature, harnessing deeper connections.

In addition to more 1:1 time at the event, it is also more manageable to maintain connections after. A great follow up strategy for an event is to create a Facebook group or Slack channel to continue the conversation.

Planning for a smaller group allows for a more personalized experience.

When planning gatherings of any size, it is important to consider the entire experience. Attending a large in person or virtual event can make it difficult to feel seen and heard. With careful planning, micro events are a great way to allow attendees to feel less like a guest and more like an important participant in what’s happening.

A great way to personalize an experience is to offer breakout sessions to focus on individuals’ talents and interests.

Micro events give you insight into a specific target audience.

While large events may equate to a large quantity of data, smaller events can offer quality insight that may have otherwise been missed. Being detailed with the data available allows for more beneficial follow up, improved learning, and insight into opportunities for growth.

Planning micro events can be enjoyable.

Whether you are putting together an intimate gathering for an elite few, or offering an networking event to an entire team that works remote, planning a micro event can be a delightful process.

Do you believe micro events are making a big impact? If you need some support, you can always trust the professionalism and experience of the Amazáe Events team when deciding how to best execute your next event. We are here for you!
