Chillin' right next to Mother Nature herself. My desk is basically her next-door neighbor!🤞 POV: This isn't a posh resort, a run-of-the-mill motel, or, for heaven's sake, some fancy restaurant nestled in nature. Nope, it's just my office with a view, where the only reservation is for productivity! It's not your typical office space; I've got squirrels as coworkers and the occasional bird board meeting. 😂 Office vibes: 100% organic, 0% cubicle.🫶 #justhethought #marketingandadvertising

📍 Venue Spotlight: Outlook Inn – A Case Study in How to Market for Corporate Event Success As marketing professionals in the event space, occasionally we love to highlight the strategies that make independent venues stand out. Outlook Inn on Orcas Island is an excellent example of how a one-of-a-kind hospitality venue can position itself to attract private and corporate events. Here’s what they do and why it works: Easily accessible booking – Outlook Inn makes it easy for website visitors to find out how to book an event. They have a simple and straightforward booking link. No searching around for information -- it's all right there. Clear value propositions – "A productive and exceptional event" -- these are words that mean something to an event planner. "Set you up for success so you can get down to business and pleasure" -- again, they are speaking directly to the planners seeking a space where they can focus on work and unwind afterward. Great visuals with intent – Outlook Inn showcases its spaces with professional images, each tied to *why they matter* for event success. For instance, their waterfront views are perfect for inspiring productivity, while their intimate indoor settings are ideal for breakout sessions. Partnership with local businesses – By partnering with local food providers, they deliver an authenticity to their guests. And also, through Orcas Island partnerships, they expand the experiences they can offer their groups. Experience is a big deal in the event world right now, with planners looking for the next "new" adventure that will impress their corporate clients. These tactics position Outlook Inn as a go-to venue for corporate events and private gatherings alike. We're super impressed!

It happens quite often that when we are sitting at work, we can't wait for the weekend. Those who work at Business Garden experienced something opposite this week: the weekend has come but they miss work, remembering Fat Thursday. Because this is what the smiling face of hospitality by Vastint looks like.   #projectbyvastint #VastintPoland #BusinessGarden #FatThursday #TłustyCzwartek #pączki #świeżepączki #hospitality #hospitalitybyVastint

We've come up with 5 good reasons why regularly gathering, hospitable hospitality spaces can be so great for business... 1. They build stronger relationships. Sharing meals in relaxed communal environments helps foster deeper connections, build trust, rapport and can make business relationships more personal and durable. 2. They enhance stakeholder experience. Demonstrating and delivering hospitality moments may significantly enhance stakeholder experience of your business. Pleasant dining environments can leave a lasting positive impression, improve satisfaction levels and even increase the likelihood of more future business. 3. They facilitate open communication. Shared dining spaces encourage open and candid conversations, making it easier to express needs and concerns. This often leads to more transparent and productive conversations that may align well around interests, goals and expectations. 4. They promote collaboration. Bringing together various people in a communal dining space can create great, often effortless opportunities for collaboration. Partners and clients can mix with other businesses, potentially leading to new friendships, partnerships, joint ventures and mutually beneficial collaborative initiatives. 5. They can showcase company culture, values and expertise. Hosting connecting, collaborative dining spaces enables a company culture and area of interest or expertise to be experienced first hand. This can demonstrate and re-enforce a company's commitment to collaboration, inclusivity and innovative practices, which can strengthen a company's brand and appeal. Book your next peer space today!

What we're thinking about now: Third Placemaking. As you know, we've been thinking about Third Places for a long time. And we're expert placemakers. But now, a new generation craves places outside of home and work to enrich their lives and combat loneliness. That means intentional gathering spaces. That means the types of retailers and restaurants where you become a regular. That means event programming every single week. We look forward to sharing more soon. #ThirdPlacemaking

When I finally got back to hosting dining spaces last year after some strange years unable to :( not only was it a funny feeling to be back :) I also recall thinking, as the first dinner played out: 'ooh, ok we're doing a good thing here!', and by the end of that first night: 'oh my goodness this is dynamic and I have at least 10 follow-up dialogues to progress with various people who were there, as a result of it!' So for me a big part of the pull to and attraction of using dining spaces as a strong business community building tool is 'the buzz of it all', the many things that come up, and new connections, and unexpected interactions that can occur at any given event. There is some kind of magic to it that hasn't changed over more than ten years since my first. But that's not all, so here's The Peer Space 5 good reasons for your business to invest in hospitable hospitality spaces... Feel free to reach out to learn more about how we might be able help you get one up and running from next month. #speakerspaces #dinnerspaces #peerpower #londonevents #internationalbusiness #thinkingbigger #artoflistening

🥐 Last week one of our team members enjoyed a weekend in Paris 🥐 Despite it being a leisure trip rather than business-related, StaySeat lingered in her mind throughout her time there. At nearly every street corner in Paris, you'll find cafes, bars, or restaurants offering outdoor dining—a scene quite distinct from those in Copenhagen. Unlike in Copenhagen, where outdoor establishments are mostly lit up by heating lamps, Parisian cafes are free from any outdoor heating devices. Here's the thing: France implemented a ban on the use of heating lamps for outdoor areas a few years back ❌ However, what our team member discovered, was that the absence of outdoor heating devices didn't deter diners from enjoying al fresco dining—even in the rain and cold! Despite France's ban on heating lamps, the demand for outdoor experiences is thriving 🔥 But let's be real, throwing some StaySeats into the mix could turn the "chill" factor into "chillaxing" instead, and significantly increase the comfort levels! This firsthand experience has therefore accelerated our talks about expanding to Paris… Stay tuned for updates as we continue to innovate and enhance outdoor dining experiences worldwide! #StaySeat #ParisExpansion #OutdoorDining #Innovation

Table for one. How do you take essential me time? Some need more than others and many get too much time alone, but do tell me your favourite way to recharge. This 👇👇👇 is the best table in Glasgow’s Amber Regent. It has perfect prospect refuge; no one behind, with sightlines to every corner. Sensory overload, or just a need to escape, can mean a half-hour lunchtime lie down in a dwam***. At home for sure, in a hotel room always, or under the table in a client’s office. A personal favourite is a table for one. Not only when solo dining is thrust upon us, but if there’s a crowd making woopee and you simply want disappear in a puff. This Glasgow institution is five minutes from the office and they seem to know where I like to sit. Nice, very nice. Tip: you’re allowed to do this… and enjoy it. ***dwam: a state of semi conscious reverie.
