Re-post, Unique Option Debuts their Demo Room at a Festive Grand Opening

2012-02-09T02:54:00.000-05:00

It was nice to see an idea developed in 2009 find it's debut on the national scene. The Restaurant 2012 generated at the recent Special Events Show in Tampa, FL prompted us to re-post our blog from 2009.

(View prior blog below)

Unique Option’s demo room is a space that can be transformed to showcase new concepts that Unique Option and industry partners co-develop. It is also used for client’s custom designs and as an incubator for leading industry trends.

On April 3rd, the company welcomed a crowd of over 300 industry professionals for their grand opening event. Since then we have received a lot of requests about the event, especially questions about the demo room and how partner’s services were incorporated into the event.

CASE STUDY

THE CONCEPT:

This event targeted central Florida’s leading players in the event, tradeshow, and convention industries. This busy group of individuals never marches to the same tune and it was a challenging exercise to design an event to welcome them to our new facility. We hit the highest marks by creating this SPRING IT ON celebration with a day of three mini events during breakfast, lunch and cocktail reception. The theme and execution afforded us and partners maximum exposure of our diverse and combined talent and put the Demo Room through a true test.

THE INVITATION:

RISE N’ SHINE:

The morning event, was a breakfast in bed treat, where guests enjoyed a prepared to order breakfast. Conjoined banquettes inlayed with modern tables created the massive party beds with oversized head boards that allowed for both intimacy and comfort. Guests indulged their food fantasies while orders were taken and delivered in the most hospitable bed side manner.

Guests entered through the showroom and then into the demo room

IT’S A PICNIC:

For a perfect spring day, local event and tradeshow industry professionals gathered for a comforting picnic menu of various delicatessen specialties. Orders were filled by the attentive wait staff that strolled the grounds in and around Unique Option’s facility. Orders were then passed to the kitchen that was installed in the demo room. Others placed their orders directly from the bar and utilized the assortment of café and bar seating, especially the deli counter seating.

SPRINGING HOUR:

The evening’s cocktail reception, the final portion of a day of welcoming colleagues and friends transplanted guests to a Mediterranean getaway complete with the most delectable Mediterranean small dishes that were prepared again to order by the attentive kitchen staff. Whether you call these dishes- Antipasti, Tapas, Hors d'Oeuvres, or Meze that Mediterranean feel of gathering around a table, a bar or a room to share news and stories was perfectly accomplished.

The furniture setup for this mini event was a combination of lounge, nightclub and the neighborhood corner hangout. The entertainment of a Spanish guitarist, belly dancer and DJ included music from a far away land that kept the guests energized and entertained.

In addition to the demo room, the showroom was the hot bed of lively entertainment.

The Demo Room in the words of a…

Event Designer:

Surrounded by critically acclaimed partners, and highly critical guests, the task at hand was to welcome clients, colleagues and friends to a showcase of the company’s capabilities. More importantly the requirement also included fun time for everyone.

Knowing that our target audience is made of early risers, avid networkers and social butterflies each with a schedule to match inspired me to offer a day with three mini events. This concept also created an ideal opportunity to show more, a welcomed challenge at a showcasing event.

This event transpired to be about Creativity, Partnership & Celebration. All of these co-existed and naturally flew together. The greatest joy of this event has been the good will that was born that day making it truly representative of the season where blooms keep on springing.

About those highly critical guests, they got to choose their time, theme, and menu items. All these were delivered in a simple, sophisticated and perfect execution. This innovative approach to event design will replace forcing an experience on guests who do not want to partake in it.

Partners:

Puff N' Stuff:

Your team did an outstanding job as well. It was a great event and beautiful facility. I too look forward to our next successful partnership. The Unique Option demo room was extremely useful, as it gave us the space and flexibility to create a Restaurant environment with a large interactive station that was hip, fun and new. The food evolved from each furniture transformation, but in designing the menu we made it work from the original design and only had to change minor equipment in the kitchen. The event was all about the furniture and food was to be the compliment.

Marketer:

The event accomplished 3 big event marketing achievements:

1. Effective event promotions-The 3 mini events accomplished the opportunity for everyone in town to drop by based on their schedule. Strategic and selective promotions leading up to the event at industry networking events, , emails blasts that included, save the date, reminders and attendance confirmation and directions and blog announcements all which yielded the maximum attendance.

2. Solidifying New Branding- With the recent new branding of the company’s new logo and business tag- event partner, this promotional effort finally tied in and brought to realty our new business description. We truly exhibited being an event partner, live in action, which was another success story.

3. Products in Action- As a marketing manager showing the use and purpose of our company’s product in action is the most beneficial selling tool. The event showed our products in use, demonstrated and enjoyed. Marketing by demonstration is so powerful and the impact of our demo room was proven that day.

Accents & Decor

2012-02-06T10:54:00.016-05:00

How to go about bringing décor and accents into your event space!

The biggest challenges you will face with bringing décor into your event design is figuring out scale, color and use of artistry. When working with scale, most rooms that events are held in are bland boxes, the functionality lies in the lower six feet of the room, however the view is of the entire space. Décor selection efforts should be made to bridge the height of the room, to the intimate setting of the table that people gather around. Objects that are small, medium and large should be strategically placed to create a full and dynamic box. Your best large décor is light, it can be cleverly utilized by either defining the perimeter of the room or by lighting certain objects, knowing that dark is a color and can be incorporated into the design. Your medium elements are in your entrance, stage, bar and food stations, which ever applies. Finally, your small details that are placed at eyelevel are touchable and in hands reach of your guests.

The color of your décor can make or break how well received, it will be. The deliberate use of color to draw attention to a particular object or defuse attention to a wider view is one of the oldest techniques of décor selection. A highlighted bright color will show the depth of distance, and a blending of compatible colors creates continuity and texture. Both techniques should be used in successful execution of décor to maximize the impact of investment. Color can be selected from trend, corporate insignia or simply the host’s inspiration. There is a well established color theory that teaches variety of approaches and techniques to color utilization.

When it comes to artistry, there is no substitute to the human eye. Each space is different and will speak to you in its own language. Being receptive to the elements in the space, the focal points or distinguishing features should create a cohesive treatment, for the room is truly in the eye of the beholder. At the end you want to have a room that serves the function, and provide a comfortable use for the guest’s food and entertainment.

Outdoor Event Ideas

2012-01-09T12:25:00.006-05:00

While others around the country are experiencing cold temperatures, this is our season to be outdoors!

It's no wonder why thousands of visitors make their way to Florida every winter. Whether it's to vacation or have an event, there is one thing you can count on and that is gorgeous weather!

Looking for inspiration when brainstorming outdoor event ideas? Have a look at some our prior outdoor event photos.

The Cigar Bar themed event displayed in the first grouping of photos turned out to be a huge success. Although cigar bars date back to the 1840’s they began trending again in the 1990’s when smoking bans started snowballing across the United States. Traditionally cigar bars are masculine in style, furnished with over-sized leather club chairs and sofas complemented with warm wood tones for accents. Here we took your traditional cigar lounge and brought it to the outdoors. You won’t have to worry about smoking restrictions and the best part is, being able to enjoy the warm Florida breezes while enjoying the company friends and guests.

Your options are endless. Instead of your traditional cigar bar you could combine it with the ever trending wine bars. Create a whole new ambiance by adding style and flare. Soften the furniture and décor while keeping it cutting edge and fun. This will allow you to expand your invite list by inviting the ladies as well!

Holiday Party Ideas

As the holiday season has arrived have you found yourself asking, how can I spice things up this year? Unique Option would like to share with you some of their past holiday party ideas that kept guests engaged from the moment they arrived until it was time to say good night.

For this particular holiday reception the goal was to maximize interaction between guests in an informal yet elegant atmosphere. Specifically we wanted to create a dynamic seating arrangement that would allow movement among guests allowing them the opportunity to meet everyone in the room.

At this North Florida Holiday Reception you couldn't keep the Floridians indoors even in the middle of winter.

The guests were invited to prepare their own smores treats and exchange pleasantries as they huddled around the fire pits.

This was a fun way to celebrate the holiday season! A cozy fire and sweat treats is bound to bring a smile to your guests faces.

UNIQUE OPTION WOULD LIKE TO WISH YOU A JOYOUS HOLIDAY SEASON!

Focusing on Next

Unique Option, LLC was the very first specialty furnishings rental company in the country. They successfully built the business with a cutting edge design, style and color options. The company provided contract quality functional furnishings with reliable professional service. In April 2000, Awny Khashoggi created Unique Option so that every special event could finally experience the same sense of comfort and luxury that comes from a high standard permanent installation furnishing project. This forward thinking earned the Orlando-based company the reputation of the industry’s most innovative furnishings rental company. The company was an instant sensation within the special event, convention, and trade show professionals and those relationships grew and prospered as regional and national expansion set course.
By the year 2003 Unique Option had three regional locations in Orlando, Chicago and Las Vegas, serving Eastern, Midwestern and Western regions. The product line was developed from working with select leading manufacturers and designers from Italy, Portugal, Mexico, Canada, and the United States to bring to life the new trends that shaped the industry. On the home front the vision came to life by working with a wide range of clients seeking bold grand presentation and a refined attention to detail. Those challenges allowed the Unique Option team under the creative direction of Awny Khashoggi to repeatedly set the “style standard” each season; expressed in his own words “We have to look past what’s ‘in’ now and focus on what will be next.” After all, isn’t that what defines cutting edge?
The furnishing rental industry was so successful that by the year 2005 it had multiplied many folds and being true to form, Unique Option had their eye on what’s to come next. Starting in 2008 the company adopted a strategy of growing their core competencies of award winning design and production services. As the new path was taking shape Unique Option continued to serve the rental business clients and eventually the rental assets were sold off in 2011.

Today the company design and produce engaging gatherings within the social, corporate and charitable communities achieving organizer's goal to educate, entertain and show appreciation to their audience while building loyalty and trust through an effective engagement strategy that goes beyond faceless transaction into a result focused personal interaction.

See Your Event Vision Become Event Results!

As it has been getting harder and harder for people to get together due to travel, time, or money an opportunity to create an event should not be without a piercing focus on goals, purpose and desired results. To effectively design a successful event it needs to be built around the results that want to be achieved. Here are a few case study ideas we came across and wanted to share with you.

Case Study #1

Event Name: Spring It On

Venue/Location: Client Office/Warehouse

Client: Unique Option

Purpose/Challenge: To showcase the furniture rental company's capabilities through a networking event

Result/Solution: Created three mini events within the same day which included morning, noon and after work gatherings. The event partnered with a local caterer to provide the opportunity to network while grabbing a bite to eat. The concept fulfilled a functional purpose of providing a meal and a business networking opportunity with the flexibility of multiple time slots. This Success story produced great attendance and a highly memorable event.

Case Study #2

Event Name: Indulging Luxury Buyers
Venue/Location: Luxautica, luxury automobile club
Client: International Conglomerate
Purpose/Challenge: To create a meet and greet for buyers at an aviation convention.

Result/Solution: This client spared no expense to put the audience at ease. Their goal was to leave them with a memorable expression while establishing new friendships. To that effect there were very little restrictions placed on the guest flow through this plush venue. Guest admired and learned about exotic cars, sampled delicious food and relaxed in a casual atmosphere. The no sales pitch commercial message gave them the feeling that they were amongst friends. This worked out great the next day on the trade show floor as they came up to the clients, continuing the same warm hearted feelings that carried over from the previous nights event.

Case Study #3

Event Name:

Venue/Location: A plush night club, Ricks Lounge

Client: Charity event benefiting local organization

Purpose/Challenge: The event took place in conjunction with a citywide social event that spanned an entire weekend. The goal was to get the guests in and out within a limited window of time, cover registration and reception for guest while providing a fashion show for the talented winner of project runway in order to help raise money for the charity.

Result/Solution: Staging the event inside of the night club allowed for party time and show time to become one while keeping the energy at one heightened level from beginning to end. The fashion show was designed in a way in which the runway cut across the club covering two sections. The VIP attendees had first glimpse of the models in their exclusive setting. As the runway continued through the VIP section it made its way into the open lounge area where the models intermingled with guests in style.

Since leaving Jamaica, Ricardo has truly developed his epicurean tastes; growing away from Ackee & Salt Fish and spending his hard earned cash at the Hong Kong Buffet. When asked what he would do if he won the lottery, Ricardo simply said: "I would take a day off and soak it in."

The Best Is Yet To Come...

Reception-Less Weddings

2010-06-01T14:06:00.016-04:00

Picture a wedding. Did you picture a large ballroom with gorgeous centerpieces and layers of tables upon tables with their place settings? Tradition would have you believe that every wedding needs a sit down dinner. Sure, everyone enjoys the steak/Chilean sea bass (if you dare) option but the whole process takes up at least an hour just to get people seated and a full drama mini-series to get the seating arrangements right. Consider an

alternative option that would allow for more fun and mingling and less restrictions.

Doing away with the banquet style reception opens the doors to different locations that are usually crossed off the list for their lack of space. Of course, we are not suggesting food should not be served or skimmed on or that there should not be plenty of seating options. We are offering an opportunity to innovate without sacrificing the essence of the event.

More and more, brides and grooms are opting for smaller, more intimate weddings that end earlier and allow for an even more intimate after-party. This weekend, Unique Option had the honor of designing just such a “reception-less” wedding at the Jacksonville Public Library. The outdoor courtyard was beautiful in itself and with the addition of choice seating and decor, the mood was set for a memorable night!

Dudes & the City

2010-05-28T11:32:00.027-04:00

Carrie-Fever has invaded our TVs, the internet, movie previews, and most of all- women's minds. It's time to get the dudes together and revel in machismo. The played out wood paneling and leather chairs won't do. No matter if it's an NBA playoff game or World Cup match viewing party, Memorial Day Weekend gathering, graduation celebration or otherwise; live it up in BIG style and comfort!

Here are some fresh ideas for an awesome time!

Mix and match seating to satisfy the Bigs, Aidans, and Steves.

Brightly colored furniture adds an element of fun to the usual comfort of our furniture.

Make sure there is plenty of seating, comfort is a fashion statement you can't afford not to make. Don't be so 2009 about it.

Guys are sensitive... to who controls the remote. Multiple projector screens with appropriate seating allow for simultaneous viewing of sports, news, video games, music videos, etc.

Want to make it a HOT event? The way to a man's heart is through his stomach- make it spicy and delicious!

Colors matter. You cannot roll out the garnet and gold for Gator fans. Do your research, incorporate their alma mater's colors; you can even look to their car color for inspiration.

Customized bars located throughout the space provide easy access to a beer (or a martini, we won't judge).

Big or small, these bars can be short, long, square, corner, etc. Their metal surface allows for magnetic customization.

You don't have to have Mr. Big's budget to make things happen. Men don't need complicated designs, truly- less is more.

Don't forget to take advantage of good weather and consider an outdoor event. Let the city take care of the ambience!

Bachelor party? Sporting event? Bonding activity? Bromance is cool but a party's not a party without your best friends, especially the ladies!

But most importantly, keep UNIQUE OPTIONS's versatile inventory in mind!

Non-Perishable Tabletop Decor

2010-05-07T15:38:00.006-04:00

We are achieving a great deal of success in adding layers to our furniture and decor. In addition to the medium sized decor that we provide such as screens, waterwalls, large scale art and objects, tabletop decor is an important element. Tabletop decor is the part of the event that is touchable by your guests and it should meet certain criteria:

Has to be non obstructive of view.
Should be safe and secure.
Needs to be whimsical and reflect the mood of the event.
Most of all, it needs to be original and unique.

We strive to create designs that are non-perishable and reusable to protect the environment and reduce our client's investment. Here are some examples from recent events.

March NACE Roast at Unique Option

2010-04-02T11:35:00.020-04:00

The Orlando chapter of NACE held its March meeting in our Unique Option showroom for their first ever roast! The evening began alfresco with build-your-salad and your NACE committee.

Julie of Julie Ford Designs, Joe of Hospitality Staff & Bobbi of The Balloon Connection

Freddie of Moss Inc, Awny of Unique Option & Kenneth of Puff 'n Stuff

Hello Florida Ladies: Cendy, Tiffany & Janice

After attendees were served their champagne punch, they migrated inside for some pork and buffalo chicken sliders served by Big City Catering. They utilized a Unique Option multi-level buffet installation made up of cast iron urns and black glass creating a social dining experience.

The event would not have been the same without the gracious support from the following vendors: White Rose Entertainment, American Audio Visual, Big City Catering and -Three2Oh.

Lucky roastee, Joe Mahoney, took the stage as Julie Ford, Warren Dietel, Mark Wells, Tony Weir and Billy Singleton brought the heat. Joe had a chance to redeem himself at the end and returned the favor to his roasters.

-Three2Oh served up vanilla ice cream to compliment the bananas foster from Big City to cap off the night! Great company, comfy seating and delicious food made for a spectacular NACE meeting we were happy to host!

Buffet Installations

2010-03-15T16:24:00.024-04:00

What would be a better way to debut buffet installations than at the Gallery at Interlachen; and what better audience to attend than the who’s who of Orlando event professionals?

This buffet installation is part of a series designed to meet chef demands for functionality, safety and to revolutionize food presentation. This new service makes a great addition to Unique Option’s extensive collection of furniture and cutting edge accessories

This multi-faceted product line is going to make its mark on the way event spaces are designed and implemented.

New Opportunities for You in 2010!

2010-01-05T16:46:00.020-05:00

In December we participated in several photo shoots. At one shoot in particular, we setup furniture and décor pieces at a local hotel demonstrating the versatility available at the property; from a corporate event to a private function. At one end of the spectrum, we showed how our product can be used for a wedding ceremony and reception with help from BBJ Linen, Kirby Rentals and TS Productions. Inside, we created a large conference table setup, with enough room to seat 24 executives comfortably!

A HUGE thank you and kudos to Jason and Sara Martin of Concept Photography who produced these amazing images for us! This is a new opportunity we are presenting to all of our event partners- to participate in a photo shoot at your venue/hotel with setups for a corporate or social event. The photos will be used as mutual collateral; a win-win for everyone!

ISES Gives Back II

2009-11-20T10:12:00.023-05:00

Tuesday night we had the pleasure of hosting the second annual ISES Gives Back meeting and working with great vendors! Attendees were asked to bring donations for The Mustard Seed (furniture and clothing bank) and Ton by Ten (canned foods) so they can do their part in paying it forward.

Ben and his team from Kaleidoscope Production Services did an awesome job lighting up the space with market lights, LEDs and spotlights.

Barfly rocked the bar and served up some nice cocktails for everyone.

TS Productions provided a solid stage for the entertainment and black drape around the perimeter.

Vice President of Programs and Education, Jason Logan, did a terrific job emceeing the evening and kept everything rolling.

Levan’s Catering dished up delicious sliders, potstickers, scallop and chicken skewers, prosciutto, and different spreads.

Peyton & Day Entertainment rounded up the creative improv music and comedy team that is Jeremy and Shalisa James of Songs on the Spot. They took everyone back to their “Dirty Dancing” days and involved ISES members in some of their songs.

Votive candles complimented our Pacific collection with ambient mood lighting. It was truly showcased by the focal point of the room; a gazebo with fabric treatment, chandelier and extended Pacific sectional. Everyone looked comfortable, relaxed and happy- looking forward to the next meeting!

Headdress Ball 2009

2009-10-05T14:34:00.011-04:00

The Hope & Help Center of Central Florida's annual Headdress Ball was in full swing this past Saturday, October 3rd at the new Hilton Orlando International Drive. The charity event raised over $270,000 a successful result despite the current state of the economy.

The event theme - Red Carpet, Red Ribbon & Red Lipstick inspired the VIP cocktail reception. I incorporated a 24 x 24 foot custom bar in the center of the reception, complete with a back bar and overhead canopy giving that permanent installation signature of my design.

The bar was flanked to one side by the mermaid lounge which was adorned by the beautiful Mertailor land & sea creatures in and out of the water. Situated to the other side of the bar, the dance club, where American Audio Visual's designer Tommy Hart wow'ed guests with his dramatic reveal of the dance floor hidden behind Moss Inc's fabric walls. Guests danced to the music of DJ Joanie who had a commanding position within a custom built scaffold/ industrial stage and DJ booth surrounded by water walls.

The party went all night long, "ABSOLUTELY", says DJ Joanie- I loved the layout you created for me. The dance floor was perfect and kept the energy high and made people stay in the area. Hope to work with you again in the near future and to see ya out soon!

What's Hot in Rental Furniture

2009-09-02T16:27:00.006-04:00

Furniture in events definitely make a great impression and impact on any environment. Serving as functional decor and setting the layout of the space and the flow of the event.

In the latest August/September edition of Event Design Magazine, our Creative Director, Awny contributes to What's Hot in rental furniture:

Rental furniture specialists are on top of the latest trends, materials, and what’s next in this arena, so read on and see what’s hot in rentals, and what everyone will be talking about next year.

Temporary Elements
What's Hot in Rental Furniture

“In is out and out is in as a design concept. A lot of people are leveraging outdoor furniture indoors with natural organic materials like wicker. When you use it indoors it can become a theme—it adds an element of surprise, you’re not expecting it so you notice it,” says Awny Khashoggi, creative director at Unique Option. Khashoggi says 30 percent of Unique Options’ rentals this year have been for outdoor furniture for indoor use.

Up Ahead. Khashoggi says the event design world is heading toward the use of electronic graphic presentation as the main form of theme delivery, and furniture will reflect that. “You’ll see themes delivered electronically through plasmas and screens, while furniture becomes a functional complement to that theme. Media, furniture, and lighting are the tripod of the future of event design,” Khashoggi says.

Wedding Style Magazine Fall 09

2009-08-12T12:19:00.008-04:00

Modern Furniture groupings are all the rage and a new necessity for every bride's reception, after party, cocktail hour or to act as a great focal point to tie together the event's theme and create a central area that is comfortable and inviting to all guests.

A recent wedding we collaborated on with one of our Tennessee planners was amazingly executed and featured in the Fall 2009 edition of Grace Ormonde's Wedding Style magazine. Our white leather eccentric line accented with custom screened lime green pillows and pedestals added a great punch of color to the groupings.

We are pleased to announce Unique Option now offers customized branded pillows, furniture items and accents to add that perfect touch of personalization to your next event.

WOW Awards!

2009-07-27T10:13:00.005-04:00

July 17th, 2009, the best contributions from Central Florida's event industry were honored at the WOW Awards at Orlando's World Center Marriott, presented by ISES Orlando. All of Orlando's event, convention, meeting and hospitality association professionals convened for the event.

Unique Option is pleased to announce our award for Best Event Support for the May 2008 WD-40 Surprise birthday event.

For this 80's inspired 40th birthday, Unique Option creative director Awny Khashoggi was called upon to add authenticity in the re-creation of the various environments created for this event, the areas worked on to recreate the night club, which was set to be reminiscent of an era when people cared more about enjoying themselves than being seen, the 80’s was truly brought back with the layout of the furniture and decor items. The furniture groupings provided included lavish lime green sofas contrasting club chairs in red, cobalt blue, and lime as those colors reflected on the black glossy cocktail tables.

We congratulate all the winners this year and are honored to be in such company. Awny commented"Event support is coveted by Unique Option since it is what we excel in. And of course could not been successfully done without our client and colleagues.

Consistency of a Brand

2009-06-01T14:03:00.001-04:00

Unique Option along with graphic design agency- Treefrog Cinegraphix, LLC collaborated last Summer on the re-branding of our company’s logo and corporate identity. The design and execution of this project were crucial as we wanted to capture the essence of our company, past, present and highlight the new direction of Unique Option.

We strategized on the best way to add impact, longevity and most importantly reflect our company’s business values and our mission to provide success to our clients and vendors.

Our owner, Awny Khashoggi explains the rationale behind our new branding- "The new logo with a revised font and presentation, embodies the strong foundation represented by Event Partner and the soaring aspirations of the company. The color on color executed beautifully with UV coating is a graphic display of the harmonious varying textures exhibited by our talented team."

The end result- An award winning corporate identity package!

We celebrate today as we just learned that we were awarded the 2009 Communicator Creative Excellence Award in the category of print / Corporate Identity – for the best Identity Program Campaign.

The winning new logo, featuring a modified font & orientation along with the business tag of Event Partner is presented here as it appeared on the collateral.

Now that they are retired, we wanted to share our past identity which was an award winner at the time, presented here for your viewing pleasure:

The Promise of Spring...

2009-04-10T15:30:00.000-04:00

A note from Awny Khashoggi...

I am delighted by the personal connections my team and I had during our SPRING IT ON event on 4/3/09. I always understood and relished in the fact that we are in the business of “promise”. Every time our clients come together to do business or celebrate, they do so with anticipation of a happier tomorrow. When it was our turn to have an event, there was no exception. We picked spring as a time, theme, and spirit.

I would like to share a few reflections on the conversations and memorable inspirations I had with the guests that day. They centered around three words: real, partners and trust. The three notions work in tandem and are interchangeable with each other as you cannot have one without exercising the others.

We demonstrated at this event, along with our partners, that we can deliver real solutions for real needs. This get-together was marked by our community’s REAL need for collective comfort. The Unique Option Demo Room could not have gotten a better initiation than being the kitchen in which guests gathered for their heart to heart conversations as they kicked back and relaxed with friends.

We are grateful for Puff N’ Stuff’s hospitality, along with our event PARTNERS. American Audio Visual, who artistically enhanced the ambiance and the amazing entertainment throughout the day provided by Ms. Sammy, Belly Dancer, Jewels of the Nile, and the music of Alejjandro, and DJ Lu Fontanez.

If you joined us, you know that we had a real Spring celebration. To celebrate Spring is to reaffirm your TRUST in the promise of better tomorrow.

Thank you, I will end with some of the responses I received from guests after their visit.

Best regards,
Awny Khashoggi, Your Event Partner!

Thank you so much for your fabulous event! I didn't expect such a warm reception, great food, wonderful presentation and nice people! You made us feel welcome immediately.

Actually your reception was an eye-opener for us: we realized that you and Puff N' Stuff are true leaders in town and that you know what you are talking about. Hopefully we can work more with you in the near future!

The Special Event Show 2009

2009-02-03T16:10:00.000-05:00

Group Therapy- by Awny Khashoggi

Lisa Hurley was leaving The Special Events Gala celebration (adorned with Total Event Resources harvest of Galas, special congratulations to Kathy Miller and all the other recipients) when she stopped and thanked me for coming to the TSE and I was happy to report back to her that this was my most successful Special Events Show.

I wrote this blog on my way back from California reflecting on why I felt that way. Success did not come from the open conversation with our competition that their business is down as well. It was not that clients are now coming to your booth spending time learning about the features of the product you introduced two years ago. Even the excitement over orders is not what made this the most successful show………The success is not that of an individual, a company but that of an industry that insists on being:

I) Resilience, as no one stopped innovating or creating amazing ideas.

II) Solidarity, we want to take all your business, but we wish our competition well.

III) Optimism, we are not out, done or forgotten. We are here to stay and rise to new heights.

IV) Genuine desire to help others, this is hallmark of being an event professional and it was never more obvious when we engaged in this group therapy to assure each other “I got your back”.

Our amazing trip....

A Marketer POV..
by Michelle Bergstein, Marketing Manager

Coming from the world of advertising and in my experience of exhibiting at trade shows it’s all about your booth’s gimmick and what can attract as many leads as possible to your booth. Not the case for the Special Event Show! Rather than quantity and massive traffic its all about the quality of the guests in your booth.

The most powerful gimmick is not having a gimmick and showcasing your creativity. In the events industry, planners and production companies are looking not to be sold to, but inspired, which is the true test of your achievement. It’s all about how your product or service can help accentuate their event, win them awards, gain repeat business and wow their prospective clients.

Showcasing at our booth creative use of space, combined with amazing products, and connecting with professionals by highlighting our inner passion for this business in a genuine way is how we accomplished our goal in driving the planners and production companies we set out to meet.

Super Bowl Bonding....

2009-02-02T12:42:00.000-05:00

WOW! What a game last night! The Pittsburgh Steelers and the Arizona Cardinals went head to head last night, a match up that was quite interesting and unexpected! As this was the first year the Arizona Cardinals ever made it to the Super Bowl. The Steelers went on to win the game during the last 5 minutes. The Steelers now the only team in the NFL to win the most SuperBowl championships with 6 wins under their belts.

OK... enough about the game and sports talk... As last night's bonding event was all about the FOOD, COMFORT & FUN...

Unique Option teamed up again with long-time catering partner - Puff N' Stuff. The array of football food was amazing from personalized Steelers and Cardinal cakes, ice cream, with toppings galore- hot fudge, caramel, nuts, sprinkles, everything you can think of... and onto the food- from gourmet sandwiches, wings, chips, dip, margaritas, beer - of course... and every food item you can think of that completes any sporting shin-dig.

Guests experienced the game on a huge projection screen and enjoyed their food either gathered around the many 80" inch round tables or seated on the opulant black leather art deco sofas or the red or blue leather club chairs along with complimenting birch coffee tables. A collection so functional for a wild night of fun and football.

Till next month's bonding event.. stay tuned...
