Hospitality

As part of my assigned tasks towards the presentation of the groups themes, it was down to me to research ideas for hospitality and making the visitors feel as welcome and relaxed as possible.

I have had a number of ideas:

- To have people on the main door to welcome the guests as they visit the exhibiton. This not only would make the guests feel welcome, but to also show a friendly face to explain what the exhibition is based upon and what they should expect to see. If possible leaflets should be made avilable to hand out to our guests to thank them for their visit and offer information that may not be relevant for display information.

- The second idea is to have drinks made available to our adult guests. Possibly a complimentary glass of wine. I believe that plastic cups would look tacky for any exhibit and replica glasses are avilable from supermarkets at a not to high a price.

- On each of the days that the exhibit is open each person should be ready to speak when asked questions, not being prepared for questions could end up making us appear stupuid and possibly leave a bad impression on our guests. This is even more so when it comes to the organisations that may visit, if we want to attract possible employers then this could be a big benefit to us. Even if a guest asks a question on someones elses piece of work, it wouldnt take much to find out about each piece of work prior to the event launching.

- My final suggestion is to offer a limited seating area (depending on the size of the exhibtion room).
