Enhance Your Client Appreciation Event With A Boozy Takeaway

As the days grow shorter and the nights get colder, you may struggle to find an event that gets prospective and current clients away from their couches and Netflix queue. You’ve probably surmised that we’re leading you towards a winter cocktail reception—free drinks, some appetizers to nosh on and good company will go a long way. But it’s also important to keep the good vibes going past last call at your event. Thankfully there’s an easy way to keep the party going after the event ends: an alcoholic souvenir.

An event with an alcoholic takeaway will ensure that your guests will harbor warm feelings about the event (and you, by extension) every time they reach for their boozy souvenir. If you’re looking for some suggestions about where to start your search, we’ve compiled a few of our favorites below.
