Are You Your Community's Favorite Organization?

At the Station on Kings, in Lewes Delaware, there is a line out the door before 8:00 AM when the bakery / Cafe / Gift Shop opens. If you pass by a few minutes after 8:00, the parking lot is full and will remain that way for the rest of the day. As a customer, when you leave with one of their homemade loafs of bred or muffins you feel you won a prize.

I began to consider what special formula does Station on Kings have, that similar establishments do not. Or a better question for Associations, is how, can we have our stakeholders cheer us on and form that metaphorical line out the door and feel fortunate to be part of our communities? This is a complex question, but a good starting point is sizing the opportunity in our most high profile and public moments when we engage our participants.

Events, both online and onsite are a reflection of our leadership, culture, and values. Events represent a highly public chance to showcase the internal investment and decisions we have made to drive our organizations. Using the Station on Kings example, from the moment you arrive to the moment you leave you are supported with kind gestures, outstanding food and drink options, uplifting decor and a fast efficient payment process. Nothing is out of place. It’s the consistency of every detail that creates the emotion you have and the total experience that brings you back again.

For those who work in professional development or events we know it takes that same level of detail and professionalism to create the desired experience. At Associa Event Services, we understand that it’s a series of well thought out plans and the management of every logistical step that will have your stakeholders appreciating your effort and coming back again. On the contrary, one negative experience or one detail out of place or less than professional and you may lose them forever. This is why your investment to team with experts who have the knowledge, bandwidth and experience can be the difference maker.
