Klick Fitness Promotion.

Last week saw Steel City Promotions undertake a promotion for Klick Fitness; a new gym brand under the Fitness First umbrella.  We sent off Hannah and Grace up to Wakefield for the first part of the week and then Rachel replaced Hannah on Friday and Saturday. The girls were given a promo car and a brief that was to raise as much awareness about the new gym in the surrounding areas as possible.  They gave out endless goody bags that contained mini handwarmers and plenty of literature about the new gym.

For this promotion we were just asked to provide appropriate staff to match the brief, however quite often we are asked to take care of the whole promotion.  Branding, staffing, design and promotion management are all part of the service.  From product launches to roadshows and everything in between.

Our girls, Ellie and Marrie are in Stoke this week for their opening of Klick Fitness.  The same process will apply, lets just hope the weather stays fine!

Casual Staff Needed.....

This week we have been plotting....Ice Palaces', Pirates and Las Vegas!

The designs are well and truly under way for our Ice Palace Entrance.  Snowdrifts, lighting effects, icicles and sparkle are all elements that will add glitz and magic to our Winter Wonderland.  We have metres and metres of soft white carpet to purchase, magical Stilt-Walking Ice Pixies to awaken and snow and ice to keep frozen!

We also have more Pirate theming to design and make, more glamorous Vegas props to add to the collection and even more ostrich feathers to pluck (only kidding - buy!) for our white feather plume table centre pieces. If only Santa Claus and his elves were free to help out at Steel City this Christmas!!

It's that time of year again when we are on the hunt for more casual event staff.  We are holding a training day next Wednesday 2nd November 2011 for all that may interested in working events in Sheffield and all over the UK in the coming months.  Email charlotte@steelcitypromotions.co.uk with a CV and covering letter if you would like to pop along.

TIGI Hair Care Product Launch!

What other way to launch a candy inspired new product than to transform your sales meeting into a Willy Wonka candy heaven.  This is just what TIGI Hair Care had in mind when they came with us their brief.  Their main aim was to create a buzz and get their sales team excited about the new product.

Held in the stunning Cafe de Paris in Central London, we transformed the venue with our giant candy canes, giant liquorice allsorts and giant lollipops.  We brought our Oompa Loompas along and created rather stylish fish bowls filled with endless sweets and treats. 

Our newest addition to the prop room are our fantastic liquorice allsorts - think bright, funky and eye catching (it's just a shame they're not edible!!)

Other recent event news is our brand spanking new Pirate theme - we took a hint of it to Plymouth last weekend, creating a boat themed entrance, and hanging our rather sinister pirate from their stage set.  We have a large Pirate themed event coming up at Christmas so this was a good test run for that. 

More event news coming soon as we prepare ourselves for the December party season.  Follow us on twitter @steelcitypromo or visit our facebook page for lots of updates and many more photos.

A Winter Wonderland......

Winter Wonderland I hear you say!!!! But it's only October........

For several months now we have been quoting for and preparing our Winter Wonderland theming for the run of Christmas parties in December, the most popular theme by far at this time of the year.  We have some great new and innovative ideas to make the theme new, fresh and utterly gorgeous!  

For the last few months we have been expanding our range of illuminated furniture and feature pieces which has paid off massively as they are perfect in every way for this theme.  Striking tubes of blue light, bright and icy poseur tables and ice cube seating are amongst the props we have on offer.  Clusters of large stalagmites, walls of ice effect backdrops and lots and lots of room lighting.  Our fabulous Ice Palace Entrance will also be making it's very first appearance in a few weeks time.

We work with some stunning Ice Pixies too, which really enhance the theme creating magic and wonder throughout the venue.

Ok, enough about Christmas and wintery things for now!! Have a look on the website for some ideas for your next Christmas party.

We're on facebook (Steel City Promotions) and twitter too - check us out @steelcitypromo

Bringing Las Vegas to Sheffield......

Since our Lanuch event we have been very busy producing outstanding events for a range of companies and private parties.  September really has been a busy month and October is already flowing nicely!

We took 007 to Southampton recently for a glamourous ball for 500 guests and created a Wonderland for Alice in Nottingham.  Last weekend we brought Las Vegas to Sheffield after one of our bride and grooms wanted a themed after party following their wedding in Vegas and this weekend its all about Willy Wonka again....we're currently building some giant Liquorice Allsorts!! Pictures to follow!!

A small but fabulous casino evening at Aston Hotel in Sheffield last night along with a 21st birthday party in the city centre kept us busy until the wee hours.

Pirates of the Caribbean is the main focus next week, complete with hanging pirates, old rowing boats and canons.  Ahoy there!!!

Just a short and sweet update amongst the madness....full update and pictures soon!!! Our facebook page is worth checking out for pictures of previous events as is our twitter @steelcitypromo and there is always the website to keep you busy searching for ideas for hours!

A Successful Night!

Well, after much planning, preparation and nervous waiting, our showcase event is now over! And what a fantastic night it was too!! We had a great turnout, the band were brilliant and the cocktails went down a storm!

The main idea was to showcase our theming, room dressing and entertainment options to new and existing clients and suppliers.  It was a great opportunity to network with new people and show our current audience the new things we have on offer, such as our illuminated furniture and fancy new table centres.

Tom, our wonderful magician was on hand to amaze and entertain, we had our gorgeous croupiers at the Roulette and Black Jack tables and what event wouldn't be complete without a glass of fizz and some canapes?

The question is...should we make this a regular thing?  Everyone seems to think so! An networking evening for event suppliers and event buyers with a twist - it feels like a party!

So, onto this weekend...we have a large 007 themed event complete with Golden Guns, six Casino Tables, and all the extra room dressing you can imagine in Southampton.  A 40th birthday party in Leeds and some more 007 theming in Skipton! No rest for the wicked!

September has arrived!!!!!!

Wow!!!! What a start to September!!  There are a few tired heads in the office today after a very busy weekend of events.

Amongst the many wedding guests we have entertained we have also provided performers, DJ's and room dressing for a Festival themed event in Manchester and some illuminated room dressing for a huge 21st birthday party in Hull.

The brief for the 21st was a 'Night Club' atomosphere with a chill out area.  Great, we thought! A perfect opportunity to bring out our Illuminated Poseur Tables, Light Pillars, Cube Seating and Table Centres.  We dressed the back of the stage with a Star Cloth and Uplighters and placed 2 light pillars either side of our Black and White Dancefloor.  The colour scheme we went with was royal blue, so we used this in the linen, table centres, light pillars and cube seating.  We contrasted this with pink poseur tables in and around the bar area. 

Britains Got Talent's Michael Jackson tribute 'Signature' performed throughout dinner and the guests were up dancing until the wee small hours to a great girl band and a fabulous DJ. 

The week ahead presents a Hollywood themed wedding in Sheffield and a huge afternoon conference and evening awards ceremony in Manchester, complete with bespoke table centres.

We'd better get cracking!!! Check out our facebook page for updates and pictures or follow us on twitter @steelcitypromo
