Book Now For Your Corporate Christmas Party!

The Most Wonderful Time (and Party) of the Year

Mangers and HR personnel in charge of holiday parties have a lot on their proverbial plate when it comes to planning the event. One area they can get a jump on is providing the entertainment.

They don't want to get stuck plugging in the iPod, pulling out the Christmas music compilation CD's, or worse yet tuning into the holiday radio station playing the same old songs.

Hiring a corporate DJ can alleviate the stress of worrying about the entertainment factor and planning ahead by booking early can ensure locking down quality talent at a solid rate.

Run DMC, Paul McCartney, Bing Crosby, or All Three

In the case of the Christmas party, managers and HR folks are required to play the role of event planner, a role they may not be terribly familiar with.

However, they already possess a major advantage: they know their audience extremely well. The audience will essentially be made up of their employees who they work with on a regular basis, and their employees' friends and families. Using this knowledge, they can make some determinations regarding the music entertainment.

In charge of a hip, young upstart tech company? The employees may want Run DMC's"Christmas in Hollis Queens." Are the majority of the employees a bit more seasoned? Maybe they want Paul McCartney's "A Wonderful Christmas Time." Or are the employees the wise elders that prefer Bing doing "White Christmas" and other traditional tunes?

There might be a combination of all these and the entertainment may require versatility to cater to all these tastes. Fortunately, good managers and HR people know their employees and quality talent knows how to satisfy the crowd.

DJOC Provides Solutions

Managers and HR people can take advantage of resources like DJOC(http://www.discjockeysoncall.com/index.html), to create a music profile of their employees as well as researching DJ's to find the best fit for their events.

Of course another important factor is the cost. Fortunately, those looking to get a jump on their planning can reap the rewards of booking a corporate DJ early.

During the holidays, quality talent will have full schedules and booking at the last minute can be extremely difficult and very costly. DJOC offers some early booking packages that will help offset some of the cost and ensure quality talent is already in place well ahead of time.

Another consideration should be which day/night of the week they want to hold the Christmas party. Weekend rates are always higher and the best talent is often in high demand on those nights to perform at clubs, bars, and lounges. Choosing to hold the party on a weeknight might be the right decision as it can ensure that quality talent is available at the best possible rate.

The best managers and HR personnel expect the best from their employees year round. They can return the favor by throwing a great event to show their appreciation. Using a resource like DJOC (http://www.discjockeysoncall.com/index.html), can make it easy to hire a high quality corporate DJ.
