Planning events takes a lot of work. Whether you’re hosting the event or just a part of one, your company can benefit greatly. If you can’t decide whether to invest in events, check out these five reasons why they are beneficial to you.
1. Reach Your Target Audience
The first reason why your company should host events is because they are a fantastic way to reach your target audience. Your target audience is already interested in your company so you can intensify that interest by hosting an event. Events are not about pitching products or services, they are more about making connections, learning, and getting feedback, straight from the source. It is important to talk with your audience and find out what their problems are and how you can help.
Reaching your audience face-to-face can provide many benefits. You can listen to their concerns, answer their questions, and give solutions to common problems they may be experiencing. By being there for them, you can build trust and credibility, which is something we will talk about further down. After all, you’d rather go with someone that you’ve spoken to and actually liked over a stranger who has only emailed you, learn more from trademark event production article.
2. Networking

For most, networking is the first benefit that comes to mind when thinking about attending a business event. Events are a great way to connect with your audience and for your audience to connect with each other. All parts of an event, from speakers to group sessions to icebreakers and games, have the ability to bring teams as well as strangers closer together.
Networking can also come in a different form. As your company is planning the event, you can identify prospects, find their email, and get in touch with them about attending. You can then use those emails to build relationships and become personally acquainted with them. Being as personal and as real as possible will help your business seem more reliable and trustworthy.
3. Brand/Company Awareness
An event is a substantial way to create connections with your audience and create a good first impression. If your brand has a presence at an event, the attendees will recognize your brand and associate your brand to things they care about. If your company cares about the same thing that your audience cares about, it becomes a lot easier for them to like you. Events provide a realer element to a company. Your target audience gets to see and meet the people behind the company.
At the same time that events are building awareness, they are also creating credibility. If your event has a high-quality presenter or speaker that is knowledgeable, this can show your audience that your company is competent.
4. Stimulate Creativity
At one point or another, your company will hit a creative slump. Your employees will struggle with content creation and a good way to stimulate creativity is to change up the day-to-day routine. An event is a good opportunity to prevent burnout and loss of focus. If your employees attend the event, they can build skills and gain insight which could reinvigorate them.
After the event, your employees are likely to be more productive than they were before. If your event has an intellectual speaker or presenter, they could drive new ideas to your team.
5. They are Fun
This may go without saying, but one of the best parts about events is how fun they can be! If your guests enjoy themselves at your event, then they will be back for more again. Whether you taught them something new, made a connection with them or just talked to them face-to-face, they will remember your company and plan to attend your next event.
God bliss you guys … we will miss your daily follow up.

zainnnn etsawoon!! your blog was amazing when it started, because you posted what you were genuinly interested in, rather than conforming to what people want to read.. Then it sort of became commercial, and kinda like most other blogs.
So I totally support this move!
I hope this isnt a joke like blushberry just did! Haha but we understand and support you all the way whether you want to continue and stop blogging. Ofcourse it is time consuming and we really appreciate all the time you put into posting interesting stuff for us everyday!!
All the best 😀

Congratulations some contrast on this decision as I strongly support it. I don’t think that blogging in any term should be a hectic job. On the contrary, it should be fun, writing what ever comes in your mind, in any form you wish and above all it shouldn’t be commercially oriented. Otherwise your blog will be like a giant billboard.
I also want to say that we at yam3a.com strongly support you 100%. I need any help just lets us know. All the best for you.

I have always been a fan. I don’t like commercial blogs, but yours is different, There’s a personal touch to it and that’s why I love it. Some commercial blogs are too commercial and blog too much!
I don’t mind a post or two in weeks, it’s good, thats how i am now. Blogging should be when you feel like, not obligatory..
Blogging is not what it used to be a couple of years ago so I understand what you’re talking about 🙁
Keep it up when you feel like it!

Thank you Shosho 🙂 We’re stopping the stressful pattern we got stuck in. We’ll only write when we feel like it. We’re going back to what blogging was always about. Laid back and a place where you de-stress.

Check our blog roll on the left. each one of those blogs would get you great exposure. They’re all top notch.
Is this a joke? first blushberry, then you? Guys you started the blogging trend in Kuwait along with a few others and raised it to the standard it is today. This is a huge mistake, there is definitely a way around this in terms of organizing your time etc..
Yousef Reply:
October 25th, 2010 at 2:18 am
Thank you Sahar. We appreciate the nice words. Seriously.. it means a lot to get this kind of recognition.
You see, some of our posts take hours to write and publish. We include many pictures. Great deal of editing is involved when it comes to pictures. I feel like throwing myself outta the window everytime I have a restaurant review/outing/event/adventure/trip that include pictures. We love those posts, the long ones with lots of talking and lots of images. We love them. But we don’t get to post them as much as we used to coz they take a lot of time. Literally hours. hours to complete a single post. We’ve created a standard for ourselves that proved to be impossible to keep up. When we concluded that we couldn’t keep up the standard, we decided to stop.
That is one of the reasons. Just one. The ‘lets blame the long posts’ reason for stopping this type of blogging. 🙂
Sahar Reply:
October 29th, 2010 at 2:47 pm
I appreciate your reply, and don’t worry we will be patient for when you have a post coming up:) And you are right, high standard posting does take time and effort especially to details many people might not even notice:) but that’s how perfectionists work. Good luck, looking forward to your next post even if it a month away:)
As much as I am sad to hear this, I am happy that you took the step to your best comfort. As you said, this should be a hobby and not a job.
Best wishes..

Yousef Reply:
October 27th, 2010 at 2:22 pm
You rock Fkj! 🙂
First, happy blogaversary. Three years of content is HUGE. Your commitment and your entries have been stimulating, entertaining and helpful.
Second, I applaud your taking the pressure off yourselves. This is supposed to be fun. Having to keep commercial interests in mind takes some of the fun away.
Third, I am betting that once the pressure is off, you are blogging anyway. Most of the people who start blogging and keep up with it – even though they feel burned out now and then – are blogging because they were born communicators. You, Yousef, and Mishary, have shown us that you blog to share, not to promote yourselves. I am betting that it is part of your nature, and that once the pressure is off, you will find that it is something you do because it is what you were born to do. 🙂
Fourth, if you go away, I will be really, really sad.
Yousef Reply:
October 25th, 2010 at 2:37 am
1st thank you!
2nd, takes most of the fun away. It was hectic!
3rd, I don’t think we’ll ever stop. As in drop it all? no way. We’re already planning a 5 or 10 years extension to our existing hosting plan. We’ll stop the form of blogging we got stuck with. We will definitely stop being what we’ve been this last year. but stop blogging all together? Unlikely.
4th, and we can’t let that happen, now can we? 🙂
5th, You rock. in every single way. Thank you dear intlxpatr 🙂
it is sad to hear that from you ,as you are one of my favourite blogs that I used to visit daily basis.
but sometimes one should take sad(not bad) decision since you feel that you’ll got ur freedom.

I can understand that. I follow your blog since a year or two and have enjoyed your personal reviews. It happens with all the bloogers I tell you. A time when you think its getting stressful.

Inshallah metyasra el omoor 🙂
Ok am relatively new to the blogging world, but I totally understand your decision guys, blogging is really time consuming & very stressful activity. Don’t get me wrong bloggers but for sometime now I have been thinking to myself why significant % of bloggers are either over-weight or living very unhealthy, the answer is simple, stress & over-dwelling on keeping up the posts & daily stream.
You did an amazing job over the years & wish you all the best no matter what decision road you follow…

Tazmania Thanks for the wishes and support 🙂
Wallah entaw wellne3im feekom. I’m always proud to see the opinions here reflecting the mentality of my fellow Kuwaitis, my generation, my colleagues at work and my family. The blog is awesome and is one of the very very few blogs I still visit.
Commercial the blog scene turned, true, and commercial it must not be and is not what we enjoyed anyways.
I support your decision fully.
No pressure; we enjoy your material when you enjoy it the most. 🙂
Looking forward to the new phase of SomeContrast. Gawakom Allah
