“There
is no such thing as a free
lunch”
…
but ideas cost nothing and while the words “crunch”
and “credit”
are getting cosy with each other, we thought we could
all
do with a free idea or two.
So
while marketing budgets are potentially heading for a short
back & sides, it is often staff events – team building
& Xmas parties to get the chop. But why avoid them
all together when you can have just as much fun on a fraction
of the cost? Try the following out for
team
building:
- set
up a company mixed doubles tennis
tournament at a
club or public courts near your offices
- have
a “diamond geezer” night out at the
dogs
- play
a giant Monopoly
treasure
hunt on bicycles
- take
a synchronized
swimming
masterclass in your local swimming pool
And
for
Xmas
festivities:
- go
ice
skating then
dive into a well-deserved a “gastro burger” in one of
London’s many new burger
kitchens
- “The
boss has been killed – with a candlestick – in the drawing
room!” Murder-mystery
comes to your office
- get
into the spirit with excerpts from classic black & white
Christmas
movies with
Hollywood anecdotes from
our expert
- fill
the top floor of your local gastro-pub with
giant
games.
