THE VALUE OF HOSTESSES FOR EVENTS

While it's easy to think of hostesses as little more than eye candy to make an event look good, the truth is there is much more to them than meets the eye. Here are a few of the important roles that hostesses can play at events.

 

Greeters and Facilitators

Hostesses are often used as greeters and facilitators, which means they are responsible for making guests feel welcome and directing them towards their destination. This role is particularly important when hosting large events where guests may become overwhelmed or lost in the crowd. Hostesses can be used as warm and friendly guides who help ensure that everyone has a great time.

 

Brand Ambassadors

Having hostesses on staff also gives you the opportunity to make sure your guests have a positive experience with your brand or product. Hostesses can act as ambassadors for your company by engaging with attendees, answering questions about products or services, and ensuring that everyone leaves with a positive impression of your brand. They can also provide helpful information about upcoming events or promotions, giving guests something to look forward to after the event is over.

 

Event Coordinators

Finally, having a experienced Hostess Coordinator on your event can be the difference for you. They can assist any briefing change, last minutes request and manage the entire team in your behalf. 

No more managing punctuality or breaks, they will do it for you.

Having dedicated coordinator allows you to focus on other aspects of the event while still making sure everything runs smoothly behind the scenes.

 

Hiring hostesses for a congress

When it comes to hiring hostesses for a congress, the right candidates can make all the difference. They should be well-spoken, professional and customer service oriented, with an eye for aesthetics. Hostesses are responsible for greeting guests as they arrive at the event, providing information about the event, introducing speakers on stage and helping keep the flow of traffic throughout the venue.

 

Therefore, it is important to take into consideration a few key points when recruiting hostesses:

 

• Ensure that all relevant criteria required from hostesses are clearly outlined in job descriptions before recruitment. This will help identify the best fit for your event needs.
• Provide detailed instructions about dress codes and etiquette expectations so that all chosen hostesses look and act consistent throughout the event.
• Ensure that all hostesses are provided with adequate training to ensure they can competently fulfill their roles and tasks.
• Make sure that hostesses have a good knowledge of the event program, layout of the venue and any other relevant information that guests may need prior to or during the congress.
• Brief hostesses on duties such as guest check-ins, entry control, seating management, etc., so that they are aware of their role in delivering an exceptional experience for your guests.
• Provide feedback to hostesses post-event to help them gain valuable experience and refine their skills for future events. This will also allow you to identify areas where improvements can be made for next time.

 

By following these steps to ensure you have the best possible hostesses for your event, you can be sure that your guests will have an enjoyable and memorable experience.

 

 Conclusion

Hostesses may not always get all the recognition they deserve but they play an important role in ensuring that events run seamlessly and that all attendees have a positive experience. From greeting guests to acting as brand ambassadors to coordinating tasks behind-the-scenes, hostesses are invaluable assets for any event manager looking to make sure their event comes off without a hit.
