🎄 Ready to fill up those Christmas party bookings? 🎄 Starting to fret over the number of Christmas bookings you've got in? Here’s something you might want to try: Run a Christmas Party Countdown Campaign to create urgency and drive reservations. 🔔 Why it works: By highlighting the number of available party slots, you tap into that “fear of missing out” factor. Customers feel the pressure to book before spaces run out! 🎯 Pro Tip: Use daily or weekly posts across your socials + a weekly email to show how many spaces are left. You can also offer flash deals for any remaining spots in December - think free welcome drinks or an extra course. 💡 Looking to boost your festive sales?

5 things I like about festive periods 1. The day before christmas is my birthday (Dec 24) - HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME 🥰 2. The food: Name all the meals. Time to check all my saved food posts from my Instagram gallery and put on my chef hat. 3. The positivity everywhere: You can practically feel how happy everyone is and I wish we carried that vibe all year round. 4. Priceless memories: The beautiful memories with warmth captured in pictures and video this season are all worth it. 5. Rest, reflection and re-strategization: What other time is perfect to rest, reflect, and restrategize for another awesome year other than the festive season? Tell me, What are your favorite things about festive periods?

🎄 Writing About How Christmas is Changing in 2024 🎄 This Christmas, I wanted to explore something we all feel but rarely stop to talk about: how the way we celebrate is changing. From swapping turkey dinners for pizza to choosing pajamas over dressing up, it’s clear that Christmas isn’t a “one size fits all” holiday anymore and that’s okay. I wrote an article diving into these shifts, and what I found was fascinating: 🍕 31% of people would ditch traditional Christmas meals for pizza or tacos. 🎁 Financial pressures are reshaping plans, especially in places like Australia, where families are struggling to afford gifts. 🛒 Retailers are adapting—lower prices, smarter shopping, and even closing doors on Boxing Day so staff can rest. https://lnkd.in/ebr2KVYy

Dear Gala Guru. I recently threw a dinner party for some friends. Dinner started at 5 pm and at midnight no one was making any moves to leave. I was exhausted. How do you diplomatically get people to go home? Am I being rude? Exhausted Dear Exhausted. This is a problem that anyone who has ever hosted a dinner party has had to deal with. No, you are not being rude. They are! They should have been gone by 10 pm. Anything after five hours they have become houseguests. First off, let’s find the positive. The meal, libations, and conviviality must have been excellent since they were in no hurry to leave. But let us get real! Everyone has to get up the next day at some point. First off. Cut off the drinks. Stop serving them. If they haven’t had their fill, they can go someplace else. You know the saying. “You don’t have to go home but you can’t stay here”. If that doesn’t work, start yawning and announce that you have an early appointment the next day. If those two things don’t do the trick, you can always go put your jammies on and start turning off lights.
