How We Bring JOY to the Job

4/23/2023

 
​At MBD Marketing & Events, we know how to mix work and play to create a truly fun and engaging work environment. We pride ourselves on bringing energy and enthusiasm to our work every day. All of us find meaning and joy in the work we do for our clients. Here’s how each member of our team brings “Joy to the Job!”
Picture
​Christine Forster
President, Purveyor of Passions
 
I bring Joy to the Job by providing clients with MBD team members that match best with their needs. Every client, no matter the size, deserves someone who truly cares about their business and aligns well with their beliefs and passions.
 
The personal touches are also important to me as a business owner. Postcards, happy notes, social time outside of business time and passing along business leads all are ways I bring joy to the job.

Picture
​Carrie Kaufman (Stadtmueller)
Executive, Content Conductor
 
I provide a cool and calm presence when things go off-course. In event planning, we are trained to imagine and prepare for all possible outcomes. Sometimes things don't go exactly as planned. I make it my mission to stay calm and on-task during these little moments of chaos, hopefully providing peace of mind to our clients.
 
I enjoy working behind the scenes so our clients and their causes can shine!

Picture
Tiffany Dinsmore
Manager, Magic Maker
 
One of my personal strengths is the ability to remain calm and think things through when a problem arises, rather than panic. I have the ability to remain level-headed and solve problems behind the scenes, relieving stress and worry for our clients and bringing them joy. 

Picture
Katie Patterson
Director, Community Wizard
 
I absolutely love to problem solve. 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’t even aware of the issue and sees everything running smoothly. In both cases, problem-solving truly brings me joy! 

Picture
Kathy Teele
Manager, Client Cheerleader
 
I love to be in person with events, as it gives you a chance to meet and talk with the guests. You get to hear their stories, share in their joy, see their excitement and know that you were a hug, an ear for listening or you were someone for them to jump for joy with. It's what everyone needs!

Picture
Sarah Biekert
Manager, Punctuation Prodigy
 
I am a perfectionist. When I’m working, every detail matters, because my goal is to make our client’s vision come to life. Whether it’s someone’s wedding or a small business client, my favorite thing is when a client walks into their event space or sees marketing materials we’ve prepared and says, “Wow,” with a smile on their face.

Picture
Amanda Sammartino
Manager, Marketing Maven
 
I'm not afraid to ask the tough questions to help identify barriers to success. I also use my fundraising background to help create materials that will anticipate donor questions.

Picture
Amy Dixon
Manager, Marketing Maven
 
I try to bring joy to my clients by talking them up in social media posts. It’s always hard to brag about yourself, but if someone else is seeing the talent in you and is good at expressing your strengths in words, it’s a huge compliment!
 
As purveyors of fun with MBD Marketing & Events, we support businesses and individuals in the growth of their ideas, events and marketing strategies. Our creative aptitude and team of women with diverse backgrounds and expertise allows for unique ideas. Our passion for perfection makes every client a priority!
 

Picture
Carrie Rose Brennan
Manager, Content Queen
 
My personal joy comes from the visual arts and photography. One way I express joy and share it with others is through my photography. My photography seeks to see things from a new perspective: capturing patterns and ratios, the play of light, and of course the product for our customers.
 
I have worked on thousands of websites and use my skill of recognizing patterns to make great user-friendly websites for customers. When I design a website, I try to make it as user-friendly as possible as well as having the overall design capture the aesthetic and ethos of the company. 

Picture
Marissa Rogers
​Exceptional Event Expert
​

One of my strengths is learning the little things that are most important to my clients, and my attention to detail. Sometimes the smallest details can make the biggest impact by featuring those details in an event. I look out for those little, surprise "wow" moments and how I can incorporate them into an event to make it really personalized and special.

Our team listens first. We are passionately curious about you and your business – what moves you and what you want to accomplish. We offer custom business support plans, based on your business size and goals. Our packages offer a large variety of services all in one place, giving you a source of support and streamlined productivity.

7 Reasons Employee Happiness Matters for Business

3/16/2023

 
​As a business owner, you probably (hopefully) want to see your employees happy. But did you know employee happiness matters for your business’s bottom line, too? Joy is part of all aspects of our work at MBD Marketing & Events. Here are seven reasons employee satisfaction is crucial for business success.
Picture
​Happy employees are more productive
 
Happy employees are 12% more productive than their dissatisfied counterparts (Snacknation). Happiness is an invigorating, motivating emotion. In fact, employee satisfaction has a greater impact on performance than financial incentives. In fact, nine out of 10 employees would trade a percentage of their salary for “meaningful work” and positive company culture (Harvard Business Review).
 
Research shows that people who are happy at work are more collaborative, more creative, and better at problem-solving. (Sound like a team you know?) Coworkers who are happy in the workplace and who get along well are more likely to work effectively to achieve common goals.

 
Greater happiness = greater sales
 
Like with productivity, greater happiness translates to greater sales - by 37% (Gallup). Not only have we determined that engaged employees are more productive, but that positive attitude resonates with customers. Potential customers or clients are much more likely to commit when interacting with upbeat salespeople.
 

Companies with happy employees outperform their competition
 
Not surprisingly, companies with happy employees, better productivity, and greater sales outperform their competition in all areas. Fortune’s “100 Best Companies to Work For” enjoyed a raise in stock prices of 14% per year from 1998-2005, compared to 6% for the overall market (Forbes).
 
Positive workplace culture creates a beneficial snowball effect by creating happier employees who in turn contribute to a better workplace climate. The Harvard Business Review notes, “Decades of data have confirmed that higher employee engagement, or the strength of the mental and emotional connection an employee feels toward their workplace, has many positive benefits — including reduced stress, improved health and job satisfaction, as well as increased productivity, job retention, and profitability.”
​
 
Engaged workers are less likely to look for new employment
 
Happy employees want to stay with their companies. Losing an employee costs a company 1.5 to two times that employee’s salary (BuiltIn) and leads to decreased productivity and decreased employee morale.
 
In addition, happy employees attract top talent. The most in-demand employees in any field have their pick of companies to work for, and company culture is the top priority for most workers. High-quality employees attract other high-quality workers.
Picture
Happy workers have fewer accidents
 
Satisfied employees produce better quality products and services and have 50% fewer workplace accidents (Lorman). Happiness leads to higher engagement, which leads to greater focus and motivation, and in turn, fewer mistakes at work. Employees who are worried, stressed, or distracted at work are at the highest risk for quality and safety mishaps.
 

Happy employees take fewer sick days
 
Sick days are a business expense, and employees who report being happy at work take 10 times fewer than average (iSmartRecruit). The Integrated Benefits Institute found in 2019 that sick days cost employers an average of $3,900 per employee in lost productivity. When unhappiness in the workplace increases, so do sick days.
 
​
What happens when employees are unhappy at work?
 
A 2013 State of the American Workplace Report estimated that actively disengaged workers cost the U.S. $450-550 billion per year (CBS News). Here are some other alarming statistics about employees who are unhappy at work:

  • Only 25% of employees who quit their jobs cite money as the main reason for leaving. (Source)
  • Only 13% of employees are engaged at work. (Source)
  • A 2013 Gallup study found that only 30 percent of American employees felt occupied or enthused by their jobs, while the other 70 percent were not utilizing their full potential. (Source)
  • Only 42% of employees are happy with the rewards and recognition offered by their companies. (Source)
  • 57% of remote workers are satisfied with their job; only 50% of in-office employees agree. (Source)

Tips for Your Company Rebrand

2/24/2023

 
​There may come a time in the life of your business when you need to rebrand. Maybe you’re entering a new market, repositioning your brand to appeal to a new customer, or your vision for your business has changed – follow these tips for your company rebrand.
 
Keep in mind that rebranding carries risks. Proceed carefully to avoid alienating your current customers, incorporating short-term trends at the expense of long-term business, and losing brand recognition. Feeling overwhelmed already? Consult the MBD Marketing & Events team for your small business marketing needs.
Picture
​Do it for the right reasons
 
We’ve already listed some of the right reasons to rebrand. Ultimately, if your brand values, business offerings, or target market have changed, a rebrand is appropriate. We don’t recommend rebranding to appeal to short-term trends in your industry, to “shake things up,” or to cover up a brand crisis.
 
Reevaluate your brand’s identity
 
If your brand’s identity has changed – if you are offering significantly different products or services than you did in the past and/or looking for a new type of customer – don’t jump into a rebrand. Redefining your brand’s identity takes consideration, time, and careful planning behind the scenes. This means revisiting your brand’s vision, mission, and values.
 
Think about what your company does and why. Brand mission encompasses how your company plans to achieve its goals. How is your company providing the best version of the product or service you’re offering? What makes your brand unique compared with competitors?
 
You should be able to answer all of these questions, and have a plan for updating your digital and print business materials accordingly, before making your rebrand public. Read more about brand vision, mission, and values on our blog: Let’s Talk About VALUES.
 
Rename – carefully
 
A new identity can mean your brand has outgrown its name. A name change is a big undertaking which affects brand recognition and website search traffic. You can have a successful rebrand without a name change, but if your company name no longer reflects your business offerings, renaming is a smart move.
 
A new name should reflect your company’s identity and support your mission, not just sound good. Your goal should be to select a name that best reflects your identity now and in the future, so you won’t need to rename again. A new slogan and new visuals should accompany your new brand name.
 
Picture
​Create a new look
 
There are lots of elements to consider in creating a new look for your brand. Fonts, colors, logos, website and advertisement imagery, email templates, business cards, all need to have a comprehensive look that reflects your brand identity.
 
Frequent color and logo changes will give your customers whiplash, so choose designs that will stand the test of time with minimal adjustments. Besides your company’s name, these visuals are the most important element of brand recognition. Establish brand guidelines (instructions for use of your logo, fonts, and colors) to maintain consistency.
 
Get feedback
 
It is important to check in with your existing customers during a rebrand. Welcome feedback, and be ready for questions and concerns – even better, try to anticipate questions and concerns so you can address them in your rebranding communications.
 
Interactive platforms like social media give you the opportunity to track customers’ feelings about brand changes. Existing customers must understand the reasons for your rebrand. Reassurance and clarity are necessary for customers to buy into your new brand.
 
Publicize your rebrand
 
While you want to prepare your existing customers for a rebrand, you should be proud of – and celebrate – your business’s growth. Talk about your rebrand, transparently, as publicly as possible. Social media and press releases are excellent avenues for communicating your rebrand to current and prospective clients.
 
To create more excitement (and potential new business), consider creating advertisements and/or hosting an open house or launch party to introduce your new brand.

How to Host a Company Holiday Party: Do's and Don'ts

10/6/2022

 
Holiday party season will be here before we know it, which means it’s time to start planning your company holiday party. Read on to find out how to host a company party, with our My Big Day event planning experts’ list of dos and don’ts.
Picture
​DO
 
We’ve learned a thing or two after more than 16 years in the events industry. Here are our top 10 DOs for your company holiday party.
 
Find the right date
 
The holiday season means travel and a full social calendar for many people, so it’s important to plan early and get input on your event date. Choose several potential dates and poll employees to see which date will have the greatest attendance. Once you’ve chosen a date, book that venue – and we mean, like, yesterday.
 
Find the right location (not the office)
 
Since your company probably isn’t the only one throwing a holiday party this year, secure your location ASAP. Even if your office is big enough to host your party, your employees probably spend 40+ hours per week there. Why not switch it up with a fun venue downtown?
 
Be sure to consider proximity to the office (so the travel time will be similar to the time it takes your employees to get to work), parking space, venue capacity, and amenities like a kitchen, stage, or projector wall. And don’t forget restroom access!


Picture
​Consider food preferences
 
Don’t just buy the tray labeled “party food” at the grocery store. Consider your employees’ food preferences. Maybe you have a lot of vegetarians in the office, or sweet treat fanatics. A vote also comes in handy in this situation. Be sure to ask about any food allergies, particularly if that means you’ll need to keep certain foods out of the event space completely.
 
Hire an event planner
 
Feeling overwhelmed yet? We recommend hiring a local event planner who already knows where the venues are and what’s available. Event planners can create a timeline for your event, suggest caterers and entertainment, and make suggestions about how much food and alcohol to purchase. Let us do the heavy lifting – the holidays are busy enough.
 
Incorporate team building
 
Any time most of your team is in the same place is a great time to do some team-building. Your employees probably don’t want to spend their holiday party watching cheesy videos about teamwork, but there are plenty of creative alternatives. A Secret Santa or White Elephant gift exchange is a popular choice. Here are some others:
 
  • Ugly sweater competition
  • Company trivia with a festive prize for the winner
  • Gingerbread house decorating competition
  • Cookie decorating competition
  • Bake-off
  • Solving a holiday-themed murder mystery
  • Office bingo
  • Seasonal scavenger hunt
  • Holiday decorating contest
  • Team cookbook
  • Team fitness challenge leading up to the event
 
Consider an off-season party
 
Two of the major challenges of holiday party planning – guest attendance and securing a venue – can be offset by having a party just before or just after peak holiday season. Beat the crowd with an early November event, or bust the January blues with a post-New Year’s gathering. You’ll have more venue options and fewer scheduling conflicts.
 
Recognize your employees
 
A holiday party is a great time to show some employee appreciation after another hectic year. Present a slideshow of accomplishments as a company or present awards to each employee. Bonus: Incorporate team-building by asking colleagues to recommend awards for each other.

Picture
​Consider an alcohol limit
 
Alcohol is not uncommon at company parties, but if you’re serving it, consider having a cut-off of two or three drinks per guest. Nobody wants to drink too much, do something embarrassing in front of their colleagues, and then have to see them Monday morning. Having a drink limit allows guests to relax and enjoy themselves without taking things too far.
 
Give a gift
 
Gifts are a seasonally-appropriate way to show appreciation for your employees and engage in some team building. Gift exchanges are great for team bonding, and presenting employees with gifts during the holidays boosts morale throughout the year.
 
Plan entertainment


Your party entertainment may be built-in with planned activities like gift exchanges, rewards ceremonies, and other team-building exercises, but some holiday background music creates a fun ambience. Bluetooth speakers are budget-friendly, while a DJ or live musician is lively and memorable. If you don’t have any activities planned, consider making your holiday party an outing to a play or comedy performance.
 

DON’TS

 
Unfortunately, we’ve also learned a thing or two NOT to do when planning a company event after 15 years in the biz. Download the FREE printable below and avoid the top 10 mistakes companies make when planning an event.

From booking car services to/from the hotel and out and about, to meals, to team-building activities, we had a blast putting together tons of fun for this client!

Our new friends know how to make all of their team members feel welcome. Fantastic lodging at The Elizabeth Hotel in Old Town Fort Collins, a custom candy bar, packed fridge, every supply that could make one feel comfortable when traveling, and monogramed gifts for all!
Here is a taste of just 2 days of the team's itinerary...
