"I used Cody for one of my client's Employee Appreciation luncheons. It was a huge success! Cody was marvelous with his magic and used humor effectively and appropriately. The employees are still talking about it six months later. I would not hesitate in recommending him to any of my clients!" Kathy D. Gromoll / President / KDG Human Resource Consulting, Inc.
Don't Gamble On Your Holiday Party / How To Make It BETTER Than Last Years!
Submitted by Cody Fisher on Tue, 08/31/2010 - 04:03
People often ask me how they can make their corporate events "better than last years event". The short answer is "hire me". :-) The slightly longer answer is very simple; just ask your guests!
After a major event simply send out an e-mail survey asking your guests their opinion on the event in question. This will give you the feedback you need to properly guage the overall success of your event.
If you want to get a little more advanced you could also use a survey site such as www.surveymonkey.com. Sites like these will enable you to send out an e-mail survey and analize the results.
Listed below is a standard event survey form that I have used for many years as a professional event planner. It should help you get started in creating your own.
