What Are the Advantages of Corporate Hospitality?

by Hugh D. Managing Director

If you are new to the world of corporate hospitality you may wonder why your business should consider using it. This article reveals some of the advantages your business can enjoy when using this method of treating staff and clients.

If you have ever been to a large event – particularly a sporting event, but this is by no means the only example in this area – you may well have seen boxes or areas reserved for corporate clients. Large events and occasions tend to make corporate entertainment and opportunities available for big businesses. There are lots of reasons why you should consider investing in one of these events if you are interested in developing your business in different ways.

Clients are the lifeblood of any business and that means it’s worth treating your best clients with respect. Many businesses don’t realise the lifetime worth a particular client might have. By hosting a corporate hospitality event for their most prized clients, a business can make sure it is remembered and is always the chosen business to come to for their particular goods or services.

Take Cheltenham corporate hospitality, for example. Many people enjoy a spot of racing but there is nothing quite like being up close and personal when all the action is taking place. Your employees may not have the time or the money (or the necessary level of interest) to attend the races normally. However they will be delighted when they find out you have booked Cheltenham corporate hospitality for them to enjoy for the day. Not only is food and drink usually thrown in but betting is usually taken care of for you, rather than you having to go down to the stalls next to the track – there’s nothing that ensures that you feel looked-after more than people coming to you, rather than the other way around! With multiple races taking place every day and an electric atmosphere both on the track and in the stands, corporate hospitality at Cheltenham is an experience not to be missed if you can help it.

It’s not just horse racing that offers corporate treatment to customers who want to pay for it – there are also many packages on offer for those going to the football, rugby or tennis as well. Most modern sports venues have the facilities to offer the kind of VIP treatment that the likes of Cheltenham do, so if you’re not a massive horse racing fan, you don’t have to visit the track!

As you can see there are plenty of good reasons why you should think of this type of hospitality as a form of promotion rather than an expense. People are likely to remember businesses that treat them to such experiences. They will also be more likely to express loyalty to those businesses, which can be enjoyed long into the future.

You can probably think of many other advantages to this method of appealing to a specific group of people. Whether you use it to treat your existing employees or to show your thanks and appreciation to your longest held clients, you will have many advantages and perks to look forward to. What’s more, people will start to remember you and look forward to future events as well.
