62 of the Best Virtual Experiences

by | Apr 15, 2021 |

Nobody anticipated remote working lasting as long as it has, but here we are! We are now seeing organisations make the switch to remote working permanent, with many colleagues feeling the benefits of working from home.

But where does that leave the social element of working? For some people, they’ll have never even met their colleagues face-to-face! Virtual team-building activities can provide a solution to remote socialising.

Virtual team building provides an opportunity for teams to socialise, get to know one another more personally and reduce feelings of disconnect, isolation and drive a sense of togetherness and enthusiasm within a team. Virtual team building can also improve communication between colleagues and boost morale.

All that being said, the thought of ‘team building’ and extra time spent in front of a screen may alarm many colleagues – especially given traditional team building activities which involve wearisome personality tests and cringe-worthy icebreakers.

Now, although the extra screen time currently is unavoidable, an activity that will truly help your team escape and enjoy each other’s company will help them feel more connected and united. Plus, many team building activities involve stepping away from your screen and doing something completely new and exciting! The best part is, we now have access to unique venders from around the UK, not just those closest to you.

We have compiled your complete guide to online team building providers and organisations helping to improve employee engagement through virtual events. We’ve included something for everyone, whether you’re still loving the classic Zoom quiz or are looking to try something more creative! Maybe your team wants to learn a new skill together? We’ve got you covered. 👇

5 Virtual Graduation Celebration Ideas

5 Virtual Graduation Celebration Ideas

by | Apr 13, 2021 |

The last year had everyone miss out on a lot of things and even though lockdown restrictions are eased, it will still be a while until everything will be back to ‘normal’.

Covid-19 has made the majority work go remote and for many newcomers to the world of working this has become extremely isolating and made them miss out on getting to know colleagues and social activities. It’s no surprise that this will also affect how newcomers finish their graduate schemes.

Fortunately, employers are not tied to in-person celebrations for their hard-working graduates. Virtual celebrations are on the rise and there are more and more possibilities to celebrate the end of a graduate scheme virtually and making sure they feel appreciated.

Here are some virtual celebration ideas for graduate schemes that will definitely be remembered by your graduates.

Cocktail Making Class

Thank You Gifts

Share Memories

Decorations

Celebrate Achievements

Cocktail making class

Reaching milestones call for champagne or other celebratory drinks. Successfully finishing a graduate programme is one such milestone that lets everyone cheer with drinks. Fear not, just because this might not be available physically at the moment, it doesn’t mean you can’t celebrate and toast your graduates.

Boozy Events have hosted countless online cocktail classes and their live interactive virtual cocktail making classes are perfect to get everyone together. No previous experience or cocktail kit is required as everyone will receive the ingredients in the post beforehand. On the day everyone will meet up via a video platform and join an expert mixologist in an interactive masterclass where they will shake up delicious cocktails. Sometimes the supervisors stay throughout, other times they only take part in the class and leave the graduates to enjoy the cocktails together.

They can also incorporate your companies branding or internship programme logo into the cocktails which makes them even more special.

Thank you gifts

Everyone loves to feel appreciated and enjoys receiving unexpected gifts in the mail. You can send thank you gifts to your graduates after they have successfully finished their graduate schemes and show them how much you appreciate and value their hard work.

There are many different ideas for thank you gifts and inspiration. Think leavers jumpers to celebrate your graduates or branded stationery such as pens and notebooks. This will also allow supervisors or colleagues to leave nice notes for the graduates. Other ideas could be letterbox bouquets, wellness gift cards or shopping vouchers. To hit your graduate’s sweet tooth, graduation style cookies or cakes always add a nice little touch to thank you gifts.

Most importantly when it comes to thanking you gifts is to keep the graduates and their interests in mind to create the perfect gift they won’t forget. Your remote graduates will feel and appreciate the personal touch which often gets lost with virtual events.

Share Memories

Your graduates have usually been with you for one or two years. During this time they got to meet a lot of colleagues, created memories and experiences. Why not collate all those memories together and put them in a virtual scrapbook. Including photos, videos and memories from colleagues and friends the graduates have met during their time at your company will help them cherish the time even more. Ideas to include in the scrapbook are:

  • funniest moments
  • greatest win
  • team boding stories
  • favourite activity
  • proudest moments
  • predictions for the future

Once all the information is gathered, put them in the video scrapbook together with videos and photos to have lifelong memories. Video scrapbooks can be uploaded on Youtube and Instagram too.

Decorations

One thing the majority of virtual events are lacking is decorations. Attending in-person events immediately put you in the mood for the event when you enter the event venue which often includes thought through and tangible decorations. Just because your graduate celebrations are held online does not mean that they have to miss out on this experience. Think about aspects graduates would expect at an in-person event; give them their mortar hats, custom stoles and banners.

Other ideas for virtual event decorations could be customised backgrounds; think brand colours, logo or funny backgrounds related to your graduate’s interests. Or go one step further and use photos, videos and other memories to create an interactive video background to make them think about the amazing time they had.

Celebrate Achievements

Official ceremonies always include toasts and acknowledging achievements. In a virtual setting, this can be a good opportunity to celebrate their achievements and should not be missed. Make sure that everyone has a glass of bubbly or the cocktails you have previously made at the ready and clink your glasses virtually.

To make it interesting for the graduates and keep them entertained, a speaker should be invited who the graduates have an interest in; think influencers or celebrities. If there is a lack of funds choose someone from your team who has a great relationship with the graduates and knows them well.

To boost their achievements and confidence, even more, celebrate your graduates on social media. You probably already celebrate friends and families achievements on your personal accounts. Why not use your company’s account to celebrate your graduate’s achievements and show your followers how proud you are. This is probably one of the easiest and free celebration ideas but may open new doors for your graduates. Talk about the projects they were involved in or goals they have achieved; trust us there will be enough to celebrate.

These are some ideas to make your virtual celebration for graduate schemes or programmes a success. You’ll never go wrong when you show that you appreciate their hard work and keep their interests in mind. Virtual celebrations are not the same as in-person events but trust us there are enough opportunities to give your graduates the chance for an appropriate celebration.

The world has turned upside down from one day to another – online has ingrained itself even more in our everyday life. Dabbling in the virtual world of events last year by hosting pub quizzes or birthday parties, zoom and other platforms have become everyone’s best friend. Now, 1 year in everyone has adapted to this new(ish) digital world and virtual events are a staple in everyone’s calendar. From bumpy starts last year, virtual events are booming everywhere from virtual cocktail classes to festivals held online; with one goal – bringing us all together.

Of course, the experience of virtual events is different to an in-person event as it is harder to engage and excite attendees. However, the massive shift from offline to online has taken its course in the age of Covid-19 and it seems that many companies favour the shift to online and remote working. This could mean that virtual events are here to stay and become part of the new normal.

Virtual events open up massive new opportunities for brands to promote themselves but be aware that this will not happen automatically. Careful considerations and strategies are needed to make the best use of the spotlight. From gift boxes and branded backgrounds to exciting speakers; don’t be subtle and use your creativity to best promote your brand at virtual events.

Here are 6 of the most promising and  impactful ways to promote your brand at virtual events:

Branded Gift Boxes

Everyone loves freebies and branded products have been proven successful for in-person events to increase brand recognition. Even though many events are happening online now, branded gift boxes should not be overlooked.

Send branded gift boxes to the team which contain promotional items such as branded snacks, branded items or cocktail shakers. This will form positive associations in the minds of the recipients and will stick around much longer than the event itself.

Don’t just do it for the sake of it though! Carefully consider what should be inside the gift boxes and don’t shove random bits in them. The content should reflect your business in a creative and clever approach. The goodie bags should showcase your company’s values or what you would like to emphasise with the event; whether this may be sustainability, innovation or creativity. Be sure to reflect that.

So, a branded gift box could be your secret weapon to connect with your audience and keep in their minds. Keep in mind that with the shift to virtual events more planning is needed as the boxes need to be shipped on time. Start early enough because you don’t want anyone to miss out.

Invite A Speaker

It’s much harder to keep your audience engaged and create excitement at virtual events. Inviting a management figure or even celebrity to talk about your brand. This can create excitement and spark your target audience interest. Don’t worry if you’re lacking funds to invite a celebrity; a cameo can already be effective.

Think about who to invite as a speaker. Ask yourself if they are relevant for your business or of interest to your audience. Make sure the speaker knows what they are doing and have to experience in online events as this requires other skills than in-person event speakers.

A cheaper option might be to use a service such as Cameo to have a celebrity record an intro for your event.

Branded Cocktail Garnish

Branded Cocktail Garnishes

It’s nothing new that cocktails and brands go hand in hand; think James Bond and Martini or Sex and the City and Cosmopolitan. We can incorporate a virtual cocktail making class into your programme of events and have your guests shake up cocktails that are named after your product, service or brand will allow your business to create a more unique and personal experience and offer a ‘wow factor’.

Take things to the next level and use your creativity for branded cocktails; think about using your brand colours to create unique cocktails with a twist or use branded garnishes to represent your brand. This will not only create excitement for your audience, but they are likely to share images and messages on social media and every drink will boost your business.

Logos are another way to brand your cocktails. There are different ways to add them to your cocktail; think edible printing on sugar sheets, laser etching of ice, ice stamping, cattle branding for garnishes or stencilling.

Social Media

Social Media can work in your favour to reach brand exposure during a virtual event. Don’t limit it to just the platform you are hosting the event, use other social media platforms and encourage your audience to interact with your posts, run polls and quizzes, use stories and share content.

It is likely that your audience will post on social media during the event; creating a hashtag for the event can help you to see what your audience is posting about your event which your brand can interact with. A social media wall is also a fancy way to embed real-time interactions on your event platform to achieve maximum results.

Make sure that there is a lot of shareable branded content during a virtual event that gets the audience excited and looks amazing on social media. This will create buzz prior and during the event.

custom virtual background

Custom Virtual Background

To enhance brand visibility and get your message across, virtual bespoke backgrounds are an effective method to promote your business. This will also cover up your bland or outdated decor in a creative and fun way. The quickest and easiest method is to use your logo and colour palette but there are other ways too.

A bespoke virtual background can work great, but if there is a lot of movement you should consider using video-based backgrounds or slides to share your message. This could include full-motion videos or animations which represent your brand and showcase your products and services.

Incentives

Sometimes gift boxes may not be appropriate or feasible for your virtual event; whether they are too expensive or time-intensive. Freebies can still be a great way to promote your brand and incentivise audience participation. Incentives should be easily associated with your brand and event-related. An example could be a product giveaway at a product launch.

Think competition-style giveaways through quizzes, prize draws or other competitions. Social media has become the go-to for such competitions as it increases brand exposure. Another clever solution is the gamification of virtual events, using digital rewards. To make it more inclusive and beat the cheaters, think about a points-to-rewards strategy where audience engagement will be rewarded throughout the virtual event.

Creativity and out of the box thinking on how to promote your brand during a virtual event will ultimately reward your business. You can decide how daring and extra you want to be as there are many different ways. Include all of ours tips in your next virtual event or only choose one; that’s totally up to you.  If you are still unsure how to proceed, take inspiration from others or get in touch with us to figure out how to best promote your brand during a virtual event.

Times Are Changing: The Undisputed Rise of the Italian Aperitivo

Times Are Changing: The Undisputed Rise of the Italian Aperitivo

by | Mar 17, 2021 |

Unfrozen In Culture 

Aperire, Aprire…Aperitivo. Little has changed from the original Latin and Italian translation ‘to open’. A drink with a powerful, textured history – the aperitivo has ingrained it’s way into the veins of Italian culture. From humble medicinal beginnings, the Italian bitter best-friend is blooming everywhere from cosmopolitan hubs to rural gastro-pubs; impressing us all along the way. 

On the cobbled row’s of Milan between 7pm-9pm; the aperitivo comes out to play. Hailing historical promises of appetite stimulation, the impeccably dressed waiters flood the tables with vivid, effervescent refreshments, coupled perfectly with demure plates of food. Appetite officially stimulated, the families and restaurant-goers of Italy await in anticipation for the meal that follows. 

The aperitivo has been frozen in Italian patrimony until not too long ago. Now, the bustling back-streets of London are alight with the dazzling colours of Aperol and Campari. The cheeky spritz has become an after-work staple for many, replacing the hefty glass of red or the fattening pint. 

A Guilt-Free Tiple 

From appetite stimulator to social elegance; the British have acquired quite a taste for the low-alcohol, quick and easy thirst quencher. Regardless of its impressive heritage, the drink has been welcomed into the open arms of cocktails bars and restaurants across the UK. If it isn’t to inspire a pre-meal craving, why are these drinks becoming increasingly popular? 

Trends are the cultural moods of society. Representing our dislikes and desires, they come and go akin to the whims of an emotional teenager. Wellness and self-care are characteristic trends that often rival the hedonistic excess of cosmopolitan cities. This being said, the aperitivo fits like a bespoke glove into the psyche of health-conscious drinkers. Rather than ruining a well-maintained diet for a few glasses of wine or a sugary cocktail, many avid drinkers are opting for the healthy, low-calorie Aperol spritz or Campari. Surpassing the meal-based practicality, the aperitivo seems to also be a proven way to enjoy a guilt-free drink for those who worry. Perhaps this is why the Italians seem to get away with excessive eating and drinking without the belt-busting. 

The Great Taste Shift 

So, a cheeky aperitivo has become a secret weapon in the armoury of dieting drinkers. Yet it has become so much more than that. An influx in overall healthier eating messages has bolstered the sales of global aperitivo brands. Shifting away from sugar based liquor towards

more plant-based ingredients generally means more bitter flavouring, hence the wave of new bitters flooding a culture-driven market. 

Dwindling are the days of binge-driven consumption, and in their place emerges an awareness of balance and appreciation. Heavy, sugary cocktails riddled with complexity are making way for aperitivos alongside bijou plates of food; ensuring stability and simplicity with a complimentary bitterness. One thing is for sure, the Italians certainly know what they’re doing. 

New Realms 

The low alcohol content of the aperitivo gives a softening edge to the abundance of high level spirits that pervade the concoctions of our pubs, bars and restaurants. The drinks market is starting to take a fancy to low or no alcohol drinks, and it seems consumers couldn’t agree more. Companies are adopting non-alcoholic strategies that bring the relevance of the drink into the other niche’s of drink consumption. Hot on the triumphant heels of the mocktail, companies like Tuscan Tree are merging the acquired taste for the bitter aperitivo into the non-alcoholic, low calorie sector; seizing the haunches of new cultural trends.

Virtual Cocktail Making First Date

Virtual Cocktail Making First Date

by | Oct 22, 2020 |

Virtual Cocktail Making Date Night

Nobody wants to be alone over Christmas and with the on-going coronavirus lockdowns, it makes dating a little more difficult to do safely.

Some people have taken to going “in” for a meal, where each person orders a takeaway from Just Eat or Deliveroo to each other’s homes – an interesting idea we thought, so we spoke to Chris Pleines from Dating Scout to get some tips for online dating.

No doxxing

Never share details like your home address and bank details. In online dating, you should be very wary of the people you meet—even if it is someone you have been talking to for the longest time. Some people do everything they want to lure you into their trap and do illegal things using your identity. Others, using your personal and bank information can make purchases under your name. In online language, don’t doxx yourself!

If it sounds too good to be true, chances are, it is
Anyone can say anything on their profiles, and not many online dating sites or apps have the resources (or even the means) to verify every information. So as an added security layer, you should be able to discern whether someone is telling the truth or not on their profiles.

Say no to suspicious links
One of the infamous phishing techniques is by sending an unsuspecting victim a link. Once you click this, you’re somehow forwarded elsewhere—the next thing you know, the scammer already accessed your email, password, linked accounts and other pertinent details. The moral of this story is always to be wary of suspicious attachments or links sent your way. Ask your match what it is all about and check the structure of the link itself. Is the site reputable? Did your match give you a detailed description of what the link is all about? If no and no, make sure you close that chat tab, keep an eye out on this particular user, and report if they send another link again.

 

Get over those first date nerves with some cocktails.

We cannot help with the cybersecurity risks, but we can help you go for a night “in” with your latest match without the need to share personal information or what the professionals call, “doxxing”.

We’ve hosted dozens of virtual cocktail making classes for every type of occasion so you can trust us to know what it takes to break down those awkward barriers.

You and your lucky date choose 2 cocktails each and we send both of you the ingredients & equipment to shake up all 4 cocktails.

Best of all, you don’t need to exchange payment information or even your home address with your match (we know there are plenty of catfishes and creeps out there!).

Then our professional mixologist will meet you on Zoom where we will shake up the cocktails, help you get to know each other and break the ice… literally.

How it works

  1. You and your date pick 2 cocktails each from our delicious menu below. 🍸
  2. You will be given an order number which your date supplies to us when they place their order and cocktail selection. 📋
  3. This means you don’t need to disclose any personal information to the other person and all your communications stay on the dating app until you are ready to shake things up. 🤫
  4. Prior to your scheduled date night, both of you will receive a package containing all the ingredients, garnishes and equipment required to shake up the cocktails. 📦
  5. On the day we will send you both a link to join the private Zoom class where our mixologist will guide you through making the drinks. 🎦
  6. Once the drinks are made, we will leave you alone to chat more and decide if you want to exchange numbers or just leave the meeting! 😬

Job: Virtual Product Development 

 (Get Paid to Drink Cocktails)

Our current menu has been enjoyed by thousands of people during our virtual cocktail making classes, but it is time for a refresh.

We’ve been hard at work developing new cocktail recipes for our brand new online cocktail making class experience and we’re almost ready to go public, we just need people like you who love cocktails to tell us what you think.

Unlike serving up cocktails in a bar environment, we need to make sure our cocktails are as equally enjoyable to create as they are to drink. Plus, we need to make sure our new packaging, equipment and ingredients can survive the journey from our bar to yours.

The Mary Jane Cocktail

The Mary Jane. This was one of our most loved cocktails from the current menu.

 

How it works

We have 8 new cocktails that we would like reviewed.

We’ll send you an ingredient pack containing everything that’s required to create the cocktails and you’ll be asked to provide us with feedback on:

  • Education. Did you learn a new skill, fact or technique while creating the drinks?
  • Packaging. Where the ingredients packaged suitably?
  • Presentation. Was it easy to re-create the cocktail?
  • Flavour. How did the cocktails taste?

Once our head mixologist has taken into account all the feedback received, we will decide to either finalise the cocktail recipe or make a tweak. In the event of a tweaked recipe, we will send out another ingredient pack and recipe cards so you can provide us with further feedback on whether the tweaks have improved the experience.

Feedback will be submitted to us via an online portal where you will be asked to grade the experience on the criteria mentioned above, you are also requested to submit supplementary images and video which explain your feedback in more detail.

We will use feedback and reviews from the final menu on our social media accounts to promote the new recipes.

Here’s the Easter cocktail.

Centred around the British springtime picking brambles off the bushes and fresh herbs starting to grow with the bramble and rosemary syrup. Red grapefruit juice adds a citrus-y bitterness to it. And finally, the white rum brings a sugary molasses sweetness and slight grassy-ness without a lot of the burnt caramel that comes with an aged rum. 

All in all a nice cocktail, happily sipping away at it.

Recipe:
50ml White rum, whatever is at hand
37.5ml Rosemary bramble syrup
25ml Red grapefruit juice

Method:
Shaken then doubled strained into a jam jar with ice
