Corporate Events: Ideas to Make Your End of Year Event a Success

As the year comes to a close, companies are busy planning their end-of-year celebrations. It's a time to reflect on the year's challenges and achievements while unwinding from the pressures of the past months.

Many companies find event planning to be daunting when attempting it on their own. The process can disrupt their busy schedules, causing significant pressure. Successful event logistics require skilled professionals to handle the complexities involved.

Struggling with planning your company's end-of-year event? You're not alone, and there's good news: others in your situation have turned to us for help and achieved great results. What does this mean for you? It means you can expect a successful event, too. Here is some of what you can expect from us:

Theme-Based Décor: At Image at Work, we can help you come up with cutting-edge décor ideas that perfectly resonate with your event theme. Even if you opt for an unconventional place, we have the expertise to turn the most unlikely spaces into extraordinary venues for your event. This also highlights the customisation of your event, including personalised items like tablecloths and drapes that match your theme.

Custom-Branded Banners: Furthermore, a company’s presence at its event feels lacking without its identity making a strong impact. To enhance your brand and theme, it's essential to use banners and backdrops. These can be displayed prominently, either hanging from the venue’s ceiling or placed in crucial areas. For example, at a past event, we used a large, eye-catching bespoke banner positioned directly above the entrance to create a memorable first impression. The event was sports-themed, which was illustrated by the decorative drop banners hanging from the ceiling.

Party Favours: Remember your event is all about recognising and appreciating your staff’s dedication to the company’s growth. To make their day truly memorable, consider incorporating small gifts. If you’re unsure about how to package them or what to include, don’t worry—we’ve got plenty of suggestions to complement your ideas. As guests arrive, they will be greeted with custom gift bags, ensuring they feel valued and appreciated.

Photo Shoot Area: Look! The end of the year comes just once, so make sure to fully embrace it. These moments are worth cherishing and remembering. Photos can help capture these memories, so consider setting up a custom photo booth for your event. Find the ideal spot to set it up for those perfect photo opportunities. Don’t forget to include personalised Instagram frames—they’re a popular addition to these setups and add a special touch.

Awards (Trophies & Plaques): Considering giving out awards at the event? It’s a great way to recognise staff as the year wraps up. Have you thought about what you want the awards to look like? If you're still unsure or brainstorming ideas, don’t worry—we’ve got plenty of suggestions that might catch your eye. We’ve been involved in numerous award ceremonies as top suppliers of creatively crafted custom trophies and plaques. Feel free to browse our gallery to see examples of the awards we’ve created.
