The moment something inevitably goes wrong and we are able to quickly solve the issue is so rewarding. Sometimes the client comes to us with a problem and is beyond grateful we were there to solve it (day of or in the days before an event). But many times the client isn&rsquo;t even aware of the issue and sees everything running smoothly. In both cases, problem-solving truly brings me joy!&nbsp;<br /></div> <hr style="width:100%;clear:both;visibility:hidden;"></hr>  <span class='imgPusher' style='float:left;height:0px'></span><span style='display: table;width:206px;position:relative;float:left;max-width:100%;;clear:left;margin-top:0px;*margin-top:0px'><a><img src="https://www.mybigdaycompany.com/uploads/1/1/5/0/11505377/published/mbd-kt6.jpg?1682514458" style="margin-top: 5px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 10px; border-width:1px;padding:3px; max-width:100%" alt="Picture" class="galleryImageBorder wsite-image" /></a><span style="display: table-caption; caption-side: bottom; font-size: 90%; margin-top: -10px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: center;" class="wsite-caption"></span></span> <div class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;display:block;"><strong>Kathy Teele</strong><br /><strong>Manager, Client Cheerleader</strong><br />&nbsp;<br />I love to be in person with events, as it gives you a chance to meet and talk with the guests.

Below are some helpful tips from My Big Day.</span></div>  <div><div class="wsite-image wsite-image-border-none " style="padding-top:10px;padding-bottom:10px;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;text-align:center"> <a> <img src="https://www.mybigdaycompany.com/uploads/1/1/5/0/11505377/scanniello-colorado-reception-0024_orig.jpg" alt="Picture" style="width:auto;max-width:100%" /> </a> <div style="display:block;font-size:90%"></div> </div></div>  <div class="paragraph"><ol style="color:rgb(55, 65, 81)"><li>Start with a clean and well-organized table: Before you start setting the table, make sure your table is clean and free of clutter. Remove any unnecessary items, such as paperwork or decorations, and wipe down the surface with a clean cloth. If you are using a tablecloth or placemats, make sure they are clean and pressed.</li><li>Choose appropriate tableware: Choose the appropriate tableware for the occasion, including dinner plates, salad plates, soup bowls, and bread plates. For formal occasions, use porcelain or bone china plates and bowls, while for more casual settings, you can use stoneware or earthenware. Make sure your tableware matches your theme or color scheme.</li><li>Set the silverware: Place the silverware in the order of use from the outside in. For formal occasions, you can use a variety of utensils, including forks, knives, and spoons. For casual occasions, you can use a fork, knife, and spoon or just a fork and knife.</li><li>Use appropriate glasses: Choose the appropriate glasses for the occasion, including water glasses, wine glasses, and champagne flutes. Place the water glass above the knife on the right side of the plate and wine glasses on the right side of the water glass.</li><li>Napkins: Place the napkin to the left of the fork, either folded or in a napkin ring. For formal occasions, you can use cloth napkins, while for casual occasions, you can use paper napkins.</li><li>Add centerpiece and decor: Add a centerpiece, such as a vase of flowers, a candle, or a decorative bowl. Make sure the centerpiece is not too tall or obstructive and does not interfere with the conversation.</li><li>Consider lighting: Lighting is crucial for creating the right ambiance. Use dimmer switches or candles to create a warm and inviting atmosphere. Make sure the lighting is not too bright or too dim, as it can affect the mood.</li><li>Personalize the setting: Add a personal touch to the setting, such as name cards, personalized favors, or special menu cards. This can make your guests feel special and show that you put thought and effort into the occasion.</li></ol></div>  <div><div class="wsite-image wsite-image-border-none " style="padding-top:10px;padding-bottom:10px;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;text-align:center"> <a> <img src="https://www.mybigdaycompany.com/uploads/1/1/5/0/11505377/scanniello-colorado-reception-0072_orig.jpg" alt="Picture" style="width:auto;max-width:100%" /> </a> <div style="display:block;font-size:90%"></div> </div></div>  <div class="paragraph"><strong>Sample Table Settings:<br /></strong><font color="#3f3f3f"><br /><strong>Informal</strong><br /><font style="">-Place a large dinner plate in the middle of a place mat.</font><font style="">&nbsp;</font><br /><font style="">-If soup is being served, a soup bowl is placed on top of the dinner plate.</font><font style="">&nbsp;</font><br /><font style="">-The fork is placed to the left of the plate.</font><br /><font style="">-The knife and spoon are on the right.</font><font style="">&nbsp;&nbsp;</font><font style="">The knife is positioned directly next to the plate with the blade facing in.</font><font style="">&nbsp;&nbsp;</font><font style="">The spoon is right of the knife.</font><font style="">&nbsp;</font><br /><font style="">-Soup spoons can be found to the right of the beverage spoon.</font><font style="">&nbsp;</font><br /><font style="">-If salad is being served, include a smaller salad fork to the left of the dinner fork.</font><font style="">&nbsp;</font><br /><font style="">-And what&rsquo;s dinner without bread?

By understanding the different types of media available through the PESO model, small businesses can determine which channels will be most effective for reaching their target audience and allocate their resources accordingly.</li><li>Provides a holistic approach: The PESO model takes into account all four types of media - paid, earned, shared, and owned - and encourages businesses to use them in an integrated and strategic way. This helps to ensure that all marketing and PR efforts are aligned and working together towards a common goal.</li><li>Increases visibility and credibility: By using a combination of paid, earned, shared, and owned media, small businesses can increase their visibility and credibility with their target audience. Earned media, in particular, can help to build trust and credibility with customers, as it is seen as more trustworthy than paid media.</li><li>Facilitates measurement and evaluation: The PESO model provides a framework for measuring the effectiveness of different media channels and evaluating the success of a marketing and PR strategy. This allows small businesses to track their progress, identify areas for improvement, and adjust their strategy as needed.</li></ol><br />Overall, the PESO model is a valuable tool for small businesses looking to create a comprehensive and effective marketing and public relations strategy. By understanding the different types of media available and how they can be used together, small businesses can maximize their resources, increase their visibility and credibility, and achieve their marketing and PR goals.</div>  <div><div class="wsite-image wsite-image-border-none " style="padding-top:10px;padding-bottom:10px;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;text-align:center"> <a> <img src="https://www.mybigdaycompany.com/uploads/1/1/5/0/11505377/person-holding-pencil-near-laptop-computer_orig.jpg" alt="Picture" style="width:auto;max-width:100%" /> </a> <div style="display:block;font-size:90%"></div> </div></div>  <div class="paragraph">My Big Day Marketing &amp; Events has the marketing experience and knowledge to help your business use the PESO model to fit your needs.

These advantages come in the form of:<br /><ol><li><strong>Improved employee morale: </strong>When employees feel appreciated and recognized for their hard work, they are more likely to have a positive attitude toward their job and the company they work for. This can lead to a more enjoyable work environment for everyone.</li><li><strong>Increased motivation:</strong> Recognizing and appreciating employees can also boost their motivation and encourage them to continue working hard. This can lead to increased productivity, better performance, and improved job satisfaction.</li><li><strong>Higher retention rates:</strong> Employee appreciation programs can also help reduce turnover rates by showing employees that their hard work and contributions are valued. This helps a stronger commitment to the company to grow!</li><li><strong>Enhanced employer brand:</strong> A company that values and appreciates its employees is likely to have a stronger employer brand. This ultimately helps to attract top talent and improve the company&rsquo;s reputation both within and outside of the industry.</li></ol> &nbsp;<br /><strong>What can you do to ensure that your employees are happy and feel appreciated?</strong><br />&nbsp;<br />While there are many traditional ways to show employees appreciation, the changing work scape has inspired many companies to come up with more effective and creative nontraditional employee appreciation methods.<br />&nbsp;<br /><br /></div>  <div><div class="wsite-image wsite-image-border-none " style="padding-top:10px;padding-bottom:10px;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;text-align:center"> <a> <img src="https://www.mybigdaycompany.com/uploads/1/1/5/0/11505377/published/img-6151.jpg?1679507633" alt="Picture" style="width:auto;max-width:100%" /> </a> <div style="display:block;font-size:90%"></div> </div></div>  <div class="paragraph"><strong><span style="color:rgb(85, 85, 85)">Here is some creative inspiration for nontraditional appreciation ideas:</span></strong><br /><br /><ol style="color:rgb(85, 85, 85)"><li><strong>Offering flexible work arrangements</strong>: Flexible work arrangements, such as telecommuting or flexible scheduling can be a great way to show employees that you trust and value them.</li><li><strong>Providing opportunities for growth and development:</strong> When employees receive opportunities to learn new skills and grow within their roles or the company, they feel supported and appreciated. Consider implementing training programs, mentorships, and opportunities to take on new responsibilities.</li><li><strong>Company Wellness Programs:</strong> Offering wellness programs, such as gym memberships, meditation classes, or healthy snacks in the office, can show employees that you care about their well-being and want to support their health.</li><li><strong>Customized and personal recognition:</strong> Personalizing recognition can make employees feel even more valued! For example, you could give them a gift that supports their interests or hobbies. You could also create a custom thank-you note that highlights specific contributions they have made to the company.</li><li><strong>Encouraging employee-led initiatives:</strong> Allowing employees to lead initiatives, such as organizing charity drives, can be a great way to show that you trust and value their leadership skills.</li><li><strong>Offering time off:</strong> Giving employees time off, whether it&rsquo;s a bonus day off or an extended holiday break, can be a great way to show appreciation and give them a chance to recharge!</li></ol></div>  <div><div class="wsite-image wsite-image-border-none " style="padding-top:10px;padding-bottom:10px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:10px;text-align:center"> <a> <img src="https://www.mybigdaycompany.com/uploads/1/1/5/0/11505377/editor/woman-walking-by-wall-with-the-best-gift-is-you-graffit.jpg?1679507741" alt="Picture" style="width:auto;max-width:100%" /> </a> <div style="display:block;font-size:90%"></div> </div></div>  <div class="paragraph">By thinking creatively and finding ways to show appreciation that goes beyond the traditional gift card or bonus, companies can create a culture of appreciation and recognition that will benefit both employees and the company as a whole.<br />&nbsp;<br />My Big Day Marketing &amp; Events has a library of creative ideas to help your business develop a successful employee appreciation program.
