Common Mistakes Companies Often Make Planning Their Christmas Parties
Glenda Will Spend A Lot of Time & Money Organizing the Holiday Party – Here’s What She Could Do Wrong
MISTAKE #1: UNPLANNED AGENDA – A poorly planned agenda is disrespectful of your audience’s time. If your intent is to have a reception, followed by a meal function and entertainment, then be sure to plan out all pertinent details and coordinate the timing with each person who will be involved. This includes banquet managers, anyone you’ve invited to “say a few words”, and of course your speaker/entertainer. Start on time, transition on time, and most important of all, finish on time.
MISTAKE #2: NO MICROPHONE CHECK – Not performing a thorough (and early) microphone check can literally be the “kiss of death” for your event. Think about how many times you’ve been unable to hear a presentation because the mic was squealing or cutting out. Preparation is the key to success. Arrive at least an hour before the event starts. Meet with the sound tech. Learn how to operate the mic. Test how it sounds. Make sure fresh batteries are installed. Above all, learn what to adjust (and where it’s located) in the event something goes wrong and no one is available to help.
MISTAKE #3: BAD ADVICE WRONG ACT – Who advises you on entertainment? Did you ever trust the wrong person? Have you ever booked the wrong act? With so many variables impacting your decision, one wrong choice can lead to an inappropriate outcome. Audiences today are experts in multitasking. They want intelligent entertainment that is pithy, quick, and holds their attention. Your success depends on finding and booking a program that is responsive, flexible and fun. The best outcomes are achieved with speakers & entertainers who have experience with your kind of event. Results are the best credentials.
MISTAKE #4: NOT STAYING IN TOUCH – Mind reading is an astounding form of entertainment, but when applied to real-life situations, it is a disastrous method of communication. Take charge of your dialogue by staying in touch with your speaker/entertainer. Pre-manage your expectations with regular contact. On the day of your event, stay in touch via text to coordinate arrival/meet times.
MISTAKE #5: OVERSPENDING $$$$ – Some companies will spend $10k to $20k for their entertainment. A larger subset of organizations assign budgets in the $5k to $10k range. The reality is most budgets (and programs booked) range from $2500 to $3500.
MISTAKE #6: SURPRISE EXPENSES – Travel expenses (like airfare) can be an unwelcome surprise. It’s best to book speakers/entertainers who offer a flat-rate travel fee or (better yet) include travel as part of the program fee.

Excellence in Any Venue | combination programs
Robert Ian | Las Vegas Magician & Speaker
Savvy meeting planners will often book Robert for a keynote on leadership & change followed by an after-dinner entertainment show — or — for awards banquet entertainment followed by a keynote the next morning. This allows you to book two programs for slightly more than the price of one, with no additional travel expenses. Some clients combine both programs into a 90 minute opening, closing or general session presentation that will rock the house! Many clients book a single program (keynote or entertainment show) as a feature presentation.

Entertainment & Motivation | blended presentations
Robert Ian | Las Vegas Magician & Speaker
Entertainment shows can be 100% entertainment (no message) — or — can be blended with a light (10-20%) message and conclude on a positive (motivational) note — (or tie-in your conference theme). Keynotes include a small amount of entertainment (10-20%) to open and close the presentation — or — can be blended with a higher ratio of entertainment (up to 50%) to lighten the message and increase the fun. Robert will work with you to identify the best format (entertain, educate, motivate) based on the specifics of your event including venue, time slot and objective.
