NicolePresents recently chartered a private yacht for a cruise around the SF Bay for our client, Tremor Media.  Tremor Media wanted their corporate event to be fun, different, memorable and affordable.  A cruise is a great option for client events especially in October when the weather is so spectacular in the Bay!  In just three short hours you can mingle, eat, drink, dance and set your sights on the beauty of San Francisco.

The yacht that we chose for the excursion was The Empress from Sausalito, a beautiful boat with a very professional, accommodating staff.  We would highly recommend them for another event for their superior customer service, yacht, menu offerings and willingness to negotiate pricing.

Even though The Empress docks in Sausalito they make trips to pick up customers in SF. Our pick up was at Gas Cove in the Marina nearby the Safeway in Fort Mason. There was plenty of parking in this area, so we felt this was a great option and easier than some of the other pick up locations offered by other companies we researched.

As mentioned, one of the many reasons why we chose The Empress over other cruise offerings was for its great menu selection.  We had delicious food from a well rounded menu with items like roasted mission figs wrapped in prosciutto and stuffed with chevre cheese; herb lamb meatballs mixed with array of spices and served with a mint yogurt sauce; and crab cakes seasoned and breaded served with a chive capper aioli.  It’s making my mouth water just writing about it!

Along with the great food, we offered three personalized signature cocktails to the guests to add a hint of corporate branding and identity to the fully hosted bar.

Once the guests were loosened up by the bar we got them moving their feet! We connected with DJ James Gunaca, recommended by our Client, who graced us with a varied mix of downtempo, lounge and of course great house beats for the dance floor.  We’ll definitely keep James in our pocket for future events!

The yacht cruise around the SF Bay was a wonderful success and the Client is already thinking about the next one!

10 point checklist for your business in 2010

VerticalResponse, an e-mail marketing company for small businesses, featured the top 10 things that businesses should be seeking to do in 2010.

We’ve highlighted a few below, but there are so many great ones, see the full article!

1. Use Social Media with Email Marketing – Finally get your act together with social media this year. Start with Twitter and Facebook, it’s easy. Then set your goals on how many Twitter followers your business will get or how many Facebook fans you’ll attract. Make sure you tell your email marketing recipients to follow you when you send out a campaign. And don’t forget to post your links to your email campaigns in your Twitter account and Facebook pages and ask people to join your email list. All of these marketing vehicles work really well together and feed off of each other.

2.  Use “Cause Marketing” – This is the year that you should identify your business with a worthy cause and either donate a percentage of profits to it or contribute to it in some way. And if profits or hard cash don’t fit, consider donating employee time. Then in your email marketing campaigns, your marketing materials and sales pitches you should talk about what you’re doing and why it’s important to you. Your prospects and customers increasingly want to do business with a business that cares and has moral obligations, and they’re looking for you to let them know how you fit the bill.
