Other projects that I have been working on include creative ideas. Joe wanted me to come up with a creative idea for a lounge in North Scottsdale. I had an idea of trying to come up with a creative event for a Valentines day evening and weekend getaway. Since this lounge is located in a resort I thought it would be great to promote a weekend getaway package with a good room rate and a free drink or discount at the lounge. Also for this event I researched a lot of jazz bands, blues-rock bands and some acoustic guitar players in the Phoenix area. We thought it would be nice to have some live music playing.
In doing this process of researching it is a crucial step in any company. Researching is critical because if we use a production company to rent things from and count on them for set up and take down and it does not go well, the event could be ruined or severely hurt. For example J Group uses pacific events to set up and take down the staging for fashion shows. If the staging is not set up in time it would hurt the fashion show greatly. So this means that researching quality companies or bands is very crucial for the events we hold.
