A Christmas Party in the New Year – Why Not – say Essex Events Managers

FINCHINGFIELD, U.K. - Nov. 23, 2014 - PRLog -- Essex events managers Sourcerer Events suggest that Christmas parties don’t have to be at Christmas. In fact, if you think about it they say, staging something that’s a real treat for employees at the very time morale is at a lower ebb after all the yuletide excitement has died down and the next bank holiday is miles off, has to be a good idea.

Founder Shelley Morris suggests that it’s not just buoying the mood in the staff camp that will act as a benefit if you go for a celebration in January or February. Here she offers five good reasons why holding your Christmas party in the New Year can be a better option than a December fiesta:

1.     Get More for Your Money
Christmas parties are definitely not cheap, and with venues and entertainers charging a premium in December, it can easily ramp the budget up. Shelley says, “Opt for a do in January or February, and you’ll find venue hire and entertainment prices cut substantially. So you can either save money, or make the budget go further with your savings allocated elsewhere so you get a better party for your money.”

2.     Enjoy a Wider Choice
Even if you start planning early, you will often find your first, second or even third choice of venue is booked out. If you prefer not to compromise, then you’ll be delighted when you find your preferred venue is readily available in January or February. In fact, Shelley of Sourcerer Events (http://www.sourcerer-events.co.uk) says, they will be welcoming the business. The same goes for entertainment: bands, DJs and entertainers will all have far greater availability after Christmas so you will get your pick of the best.

3.     More Time
Shelley reminds us that Christmas is a busy time for everyone so it is inevitable that some of your staff won’t be able to make it to a party held around the festive season. “Stage it in the quieter months of January or February,” she says, “and you’ll find it’s open to so many more people”.

4.     A Great Time to say Thank You
Staff really do tend to work very hard over Christmas, so what better than a party in the New Year to say thank you and show your appreciation for all they’ve done?

5.     Something to Look Forward to
“It’s pretty tough coming back after a Christmas break, especially with such a long time till the next bank holiday. The weather is dank, the days short and the mood generally downhearted. But with a great get-together to look forward to, you’ll soon lift the mood,” suggests Shelley Morris.

So as you can see, there are plenty of benefits to holding your staff Christmas party in January. If you’d like some help organising your work do in the New Year, Sourcerer Events can help.
