The events problem now solved for small and medium‐sized companies.

If you don’t know how to make your employees happy, and still make it with your tight budget, then this article is for you. I have been into crafts and events preparation business since 2000 and I discovered that people really get happy when they feel they are socially involved together.

These are some tips on how to get your people engaged:

  1. Don’t plan alone.

Always make a group committee for the event, and make them organizers with you. You would be surprised at how good this would turn out to be.

  1. Don’t wait for the right time.

People are always complaining about being stressed, so do not wait for the right time when they would be happy, or wonder what the need for these activities would be in the first place.

  1. The more the merrier.

Getting people out of their comfort zone to do activities would take a lot of effort. If they want to join with their family, best friends, even pets, let them do it.

  1. Fun, Fun, Fun.

Make sure to have a fun plan and fun‐loving people. The laughter is priceless.

 

Now it’s almost half year, how is your events budget doing? How is the spirit in your company? In Egypt it’s hard to make a low budget event, so what I did through this article is a list of go‐to places to find affordable tools to make some nice event ideas come to life.

 

Where can you buy low budget products?

  1. Mohsen El Fayoumi and IKEA.

Don’t go for fancy places for your decorations, head to Mohsen El Fayoumi where they have a lot of events decorations at very reasonable prices.

Want to add a fancy touch? IKEA is the place where you can find lots of giveaways and gifts that people can display on their desk and at home with reasonable prices.

  1. El Fagala and Samir & Ali.

El Fagala, this busy area is your destination if you have big event and need a lot of quantities. If you are targeting a number up to 50 persons then stationary store chains like Samir & Ali can work well for you.

  1. Shabrawy & Zuba.

The target here is not overspending your budget on one event; you could always make an oriental traditional buffet and a nice event. If you want to add some fanciness to the event, you could order Zuba.
