Closing deals is necessary for doing business regardless of the company’s size. It is also important to celebrate the moment and all those involved. It will help to boost morale throughout the office and improve the overall work standards. Here are six festive ways to celebrate the close of a business deal.
1- A Victory Song
The best way to show appreciation to your team is to celebrate as soon as the deal is complete. Showing your teal immediate attention will signal to them that you value and appreciate them. You can celebrate with a video call, a group email, or through the company’s chat system. Create a win-song to make it fun, festive, and memorable. Whether it is something you write and sing or one you feel is appropriate for the occasion, play it as soon as the paperwork is signed. Make sure to continue the tradition for future deal closings.
2- Throw a Bash
Throwing a party is a fun way to celebrate. There are a couple of ways to go when celebrating this milestone. Throw a formal party and invite spouses, business partners, and the competition. You can hand out awards or gifts of appreciation to those directly involved in the deal.
Another option is to throw a causal event and keep it strictly in-house. You could make it a casual work day and have different food trucks come to the office. Another idea is to pick a theme and have a caterer come in to provide the food. The casual event will encourage everyone to relax and bond.
3- Smoke Cigars
Smoking cigars has always been a sign of success and power and a long-standing tradition to celebrate after closing a deal. Many powerful CEOs enjoy having cigars in the boardroom. Cigars are also a timeless way to celebrate milestones among men. Kick back, relax, and celebrate after a job well done. Treat your team to a cigar. Do not forget to snap a picture as a memorable token of the day.
4- Go Public
To promote camaraderie among team members and to celebrate, go public with the news. Whether that means inviting the media in for a press conference, posting on social media, or including something in the company newsletter, team members will appreciate the recognition, and clients will appreciate the update. To create a festive atmosphere, run the news on a big screen in the office. Let everyone see the recent accomplishment.
5- Time for a Team Building Activity
While the energy is still running high, now is the time for a team building activity. Pack everyone up for a trip. It could be a simple ski trip, camping, or time at the beach. Make time for fun, celebrating, and deciding what project is next.
6- Do an Office Makeover
Now may be the time to spruce up the office, whether in the home or a building. Purchase a fancy espresso maker or have fun snacks delivered. Add some decorative touches to make the place look brighter and inviting. It does not have to be an expensive makeover. Something simple to keep the festive spirit up and show appreciation will work.
