Reaching the milestone of an anniversary, especially if you celebrate 10, 20, or more years of activity, is something to be shown as a guarantee of solidity for the experience acquired, the knowledge of your commercial field, the ability demonstrated over the years to adapt your company with the evolution of the market and the challenges faced.

We are aware that talking about success in this period is quite hard. There are many companies that have seen their turnover drop significantly, others that cannot work due to the blocks to contain the pandemic.

But…celebrating the company anniversary could be an opportunity to emphasize that your company is still “alive” despite the difficulties of the period!

Therefore you could use the event to communicate to your customers the new sales strategies (perhaps you have gone from direct in-store sales to e-commerce) or service (delivery rather than on-site).

You do not have to get worried about the budget!

A corporate anniversary can be organized to meet every need, especially with digital events where you can choose from live streaming to recording, from the use of customized applications to common platforms (Zoom, Meet ..).

Another option could be a “phigital” with a few people physically in a studio (usually company staff or relators), and all guests connected from all over the world so that you can reach all your customers without geographical limits.

Everything will be branded with graphics designed specifically for the event.

Using this moment of apparent calm to virtually celebrate your company anniversary could really be the winning idea!

Whatever form it takes, the opening of the event must have its theme relating to the past, present, and future successes, always emphasizing the importance of its customers, its team, and its collaborators. Preparing a good speech that tells the fantastic adventure of your company is a must.

Two are the main protagonists of your celebration: your customers that have to be involved in the event, underlining the importance they had for your company, perhaps by projecting slides that refer to the projects developed for and with them.

And your employees: your team! A winning team means efficiency and represents a guarantee of safety to the customer’s eye. Companies are not just capital, structures, products but they live on people, their experience, know-how, ability to solve problems.

Despite your perplexities, I’m sure you are now thinking that this could really be the best time to relaunch the image of your company!

As we all know, not always everything goes the right way and difficulties are part of the path of every activity

Launch a new product during the company anniversary? Why not…

What better occasion than the company anniversary to check if the new product is finding favor with your customers?

Organizing the presentation of the new product carefully can be to the right goal for the market of the company and not a party to celebrate its brand.

The right gift for the participants
