Speaking about corporate event tents for the great outdoors, we were talking to a professional acquaintance of ours recently about the difficulty she was having persuading some of her PR company’s clients to consider holding corporate events, such as brand and product launches, staff rewards, customer relationship building exercises, promotional activities and so on, in the “great outdoors”.
“There are a few big hotel chains and a couple of terrific conference centres they use regularly – and, while there’s nothing wrong with them, it’s all getting a bit dull and predictable!”
She went on to say that when she and her team have taken the trouble to rack their brains for novel settings that are more likely to pique the interest of the attendees, whether they’re employees, prospective clients, existing customers or general consumers, anything involving a tent gets quickly vetoed.
“They tend to say words to the effect that tents and marquees are all well and good and, while they certainly have their place, they don’t really project a professional corporate image… In fact, some clients have suggested they’re ‘just not modern’! I know that’s rubbish – but how on earth can I convince them otherwise?”
Well, we know exactly what the problem is – it’s that when you talk to most people about providing cover for any activity taking place “outdoors”, it calls to mind an image of a marquee. You know the kind – drab, stuffy and reeking of parties from years past; like a sauna in Summer and a damp wind tunnel in Winter… And that notion is way, way out of date. Of course, we would say that. But it happens to be true – as you’ll know with the most cursory of glances at our range of stretch tents for hire and for sale. Our stretch corporate event tents aren’t just “modern” – they’re the elegantly simple, effortlessly stylish 21st century solution for all sorts of events, corporate and otherwise. Forget all about old school marquees – for sheer brand-boosting impact, a fabulous and lasting first impression and a professional statement of intent (pun intended!), you simply can’t beat our stretch tents with those sleek curves.
Made of robust yet pliant material, they’re available in a range of shades to compliment your corporate colours – and of course we can supply them custom-printed with your logo and brand messaging. That Bedouin-inspired, undulating design with its wide and welcoming open sides ensures free flow of air to keep you cool when it’s hot… But what many customers find most surprising is just how warm and cosy they are in colder weather. Simply add skirts, side panels and doorways, and they’re completely waterproof and weatherproof too – even in the harshest British Winter – and for added comfort you can even install heating!
Finally, the clincher for many of our happy stretch tent customers is the fact that they’re dealing with a team who are also hugely experienced wedding and festival professionals, who have the wherewithal, the expertise and the in-house staff to provide all the services and facilities you’d expect to find at an indoor event – and a lot more besides!
