Does an Event Manager ever stop being an Event Manager, even on vacation? I can't help but stop when I see an outdoor event being organized – I have to approach, check what's happening, and see how it's being done. While on a catamaran, I talk to the captain about what possibilities he can offer his clients and what kind of event he could organize for them. During a wine tasting at a splendid winery, I envision an exclusive car launch or another product premiere held in the late afternoon, accompanied by excellent wine. Is this a professional quirk? No, it's just that I love what I do. I observe what others are doing with great interest and share my ideas with undisguised pleasure. And what do you pay attention to, even in your free time #EventManager #Passion #EventOrganization #Professionalism #Vacation #EventPlanning #Networking #EventIndustry #LoveForWork

In light of The Economist's recent coverage on the booming Champagne market and the ground breaking Sotheby’s Champagne auction, which saw a record EUR1.35m in sales with an impressive 50% of the lots exceeding the high estimate, it's an opportune moment to re-evaluate Champagne's long-term potential. Our Senior Portfolio Manager Matthew Small examines the current market in detail in our 2024 Champagne Report. Examining the Liv-Ex Champagne 50 index, which monitors the performance of the most recent vintages of the 13 most actively traded Champagnes, presents nuanced picture. Currently trading at a 27% discount to its previous high in October 2022, the index has experienced a correction. Despite this, Champagne remains the highest-performing sub-index in the wine investment universe, with an impressive 40.8% return over 5 years. So, what's next for this effervescent beverage? Click the link below to find out more https://lnkd.in/eXca6v8r

Champagne not ‘Bubbly’; Veenus’ Promise to our Guests One of the most repeated feedback comments from our luxury train experience was our guests’ delight to receive champagne and not prosecco, cava, crémant or even sparkling wine. Isn’t it disheartening to think that customers have lowered their expectations so much that when they actually receive what is promised they are surprised? Furthermore, the 'champagne welcome' was just that – not a small half glass of something bubbly but three top-ups of real champagne. At Veenus we pride ourselves on our delivering what we promise. And it is delivered with flair and generosity. Where possible we strive to deliver a little more than we promise as an extra commitment to service and hospitality. A service promise complements your brand’s vision. However, it has its own role too. It brings to life the brand vision, making it real. While your brand’s clever and catchy motto may sound good, it only holds true significance if your team and product actively deliver on this promise in an authentic manner. Here’s to making every service promise a toast-worthy occasion! #champagnewelcome #brandpromise #servicepromise #brandvision #authenticservice #hospitality #luxurytrainexperience #toasttoservice #delightyourguests #customerexpectations
