The Importance of Off-Site
Corporate Meetings &
Presentations
Off-Site Events Not a Thing of the Past
R.O.I
Charisma Productions Network
Off site corporate meetings, many companies are saying this has become a great expense that is not necessarily helpful in promoting their product and building employee morale or making them more efficient. Through research we have found that this is quite the opposite (see page 5). A survey of Fortune 500 companies shows face-to-face meetings have the highest return on investment of any marketing tool available to them.
"Knowledge sessions" held throughout the day would aid companies in crafting new strategies to highlight the inherent importance of in-person gatherings. As quoted by Ben Stein, Actor, lawyer, economist and Nixon speechwriter "The truth is that business meetings are usually not a waste of time, even if they are held in Las Vegas or at a resort with a golf course near a Southern California beach," Stein said. "They are not decadent, with rare exception.
The WOW Factor
The Relationship Between Meeting Planner and
Production Company
Empowering the Meeting Planner
Charisma Productions Network
Many large companies have an established relationship with audio visual production companies for their presentations and meetings. They have worked together for a long time and they do a good job, but do they go above and beyond lighting, sound and videos? And after the event do you feel that you have achieved the WOW factor? With Charisma Productions Network we not only provide the audio video, lighting, sound and staging. We do go above and beyond. Working with the meeting/event planners we become the extra pair of hands and eyes. Our philosophy is “You’re only as good as your last event. Your success is our success”. Yes we have made thousands of photocopies and put handbooks together for attendees. Yes we have worked around the clock when rooms were not provided at the scheduled times and yes we’ve even gone to a venue to pick up extra beds when the hotel had overbooked rooms and there weren’t enough rooms so people had to double and triple up. When event/meeting managers work with production companies do they know if the production company is a good strategic fit? Do they have coordinated approach to understanding their needs and business issues? Do they develop an action plan, including timeline, responsibility assignments and deliverables? Are they client focused? Innovative? Quality and Results driven? Charisma Productions Network is all this and more. CPN empowers the meeting planner by working as an insider, building customer understanding at each interaction and balancing between customization and complexity. The demonstrated understanding and commitment that Charisma Productions Network values is their relationship and interest the meeting planner’s input, in order to take their vision and bring it to life. We do all this because we want the meeting planner to feel energized and refreshed and able to focus on the large picture while we focus on exceeding the WOW

Off-Site Meetings & Presentations
Off –site corporate presentations serve as an effective
tool for convincingly presenting your company, and its
products and services to your target audience. Since corporate presentations today use flash and other high-end multimedia tools to develop highly engaging and creative presentations; it is not always within the wherewithal of the company to do this on its own. Hence, corporate firms, both big and small are today outsourcing such work to professional companies such as Charisma Productions Network, which specialize in such areas.
An impressive corporate presentation not only
effectively showcases your products and services but it
also helps in enhancing your corporate image and add
value to your business.
A corporate meeting complete with impressive
animation, videos, photos, voice over and music would
definitely have more impact on the target audience as
compared to a static presentation. Therefore various
companies incorporate flash into their corporate
meeting in order to make them more appealing and
impressive. Audio video solutions help in grabbing the
attention of the users in relation to the subject
highlighted in the meeting or event, thus motivating
them and engaging them with the subject. Moving
images have a powerful impact amongst the viewers
as they have the ability to portray and inspire hidden
emotions.
In an off-site corporate presentation you can present all information in an interesting and user-friendly manner, giving details such as the company’s goal, product/services details, various services, catalogues, infrastructure manpower, and growth pattern and just about anything you wish to. You can use images and video clips of your company, its people, its infrastructure, etc, in the presentation. This enhances credibility and also enables your customers, dealers and investors to have a look at your company. For creating corporate presentations, you should approach a professional production company, such as Charisma Productions Network, to create innovative presentations which would enable you to communicate to your audience easily, make them aware of your company and influence their decisions.
Offsite Meetings and Productions benefit:
Clients- With the help of a corporate presentation you
can tell prospective customers in detail about your
services and show details of your previous successful
work. This way you lend credibility to your work and
new as well as existing customers get to know what
benefits they stand to derive from you.
For educating or updating employees- You can
make corporate meetings to impart training to your
employees, help them update themselves and improve
their skill sets. It can also be used for maintaining good
internal communications among employees of different
departments.
Trade fairs & exhibitions- You can demonstrate
about your company, various products and services at
trade shows with the help of a professional looking
corporate presentation.
Conferences & important meetings- In conferences
and critical meetings, a presentation helps you to
convey your point in a much clearer and profound
manner.
Product launches- Whenever your company is
launching new products in the market; you can
efficiently inform the prospective buyers what your
product is all about by giving a presentation.
Meetings facilitate engagement. People engage by
being invited into the game. If they know the business
goal, the team goal and the role they have to play then
they're more likely to truly plug in to the business. If
they don't know what the business is trying to achieve,
how can they connect with business goals alone at
their desk? Off-site meetings and presentations still
hold a powerful message, one that a web conference
or phone conference cannot compare to.
