My Company is a small manufacturing firm out of Los Angeles and although 2009 saw some rough moments, 2010 is going strong! I wanted to thank / reward my employees with an early Company Picnic BBQ... an opportunity to get them out of the Office and enjoy each others company! And hopefully help to keep the sales momentum going. Many of my business affiliates have cut so far back on such employee recognition, that they are suffering far worse from morale issues than economic crisis. So, how do I plan a BBQ for 350 people?! A Hotel H/R friend referred me to Robin Charin with R.T. Clown, Inc. She raved about their professionalism and creative talents for entertainment and party coordination. I called her right away and was greeted by a friendly and spirited office staff. Robin returned my call immediately and we started to brainstorm ideas. I had no clue about Park Permits and all the other Picnic stuff to consider ~ What Park could accommodate us? How to Entertain the kids? What to eat? Picnic Games? Ughh! Then I spoke with Robin! She just made everything so simple. She knew exactly what we needed, within a reasonable budget, that would have the most impact. I was most concerned about the 'Fun Factor'. I couldn't stand the idea of wasting money on an Event people were bored at! R.T Clown came to the rescue with Organized Picnic Games, two different super-cool Jumpers for the kids, fantastic Caterering who even brought a huge grill to cook on site and served up everything including Ice Cream and Snow Cones! Then there was the Entertainment. I had no clue what to do and left it in Robin's hands. She and her fantastic Staff ran the whole Picnic with a Magic Show that had everyone laughing and oohing & awwing. There was a colorful balloon-making clown (not scary at all!). A face painting Princess and even a cool air brush Tattoo Artist. Oh, and Bingo kept everyone busy while I supplied some great raffle prizes. Everything worked as planned! Robin's Team kept everything on schedule and even dealt with a difficult Park Ranger and generator problems allowing me to actually enjoy myself and tend to my employees. The best part is, I had to deal with one simple vendor: R.T. Clown. If I had questions, one call, one bill ~ one great company ~ that we will be dealing with for years to come. So, my theory was correct, our sales rose 18% the weeks following the Event. Not only was the water-cooler talk positive and raving about the Picnic, everyone is looking forward to the next Party! Oh, I should also mention, apparently Optimus Prime helped Celebrate my assistant's son's Birthday Party! R.T. Clown was the hit of that Party too! read more
