Since the pandemic started, top brands started moving their Client Appreciation Events into virtual venues. Wine tasting, cooking classes, Lego building, are examples of the many virtual events that were used to spread client love around the world.
The preferred virtual platform to host virtual events was Zoom, but others like Microsoft Teams and Google Meet were chosen very frequently.
The forecast for 2022 indicates that we will see a mix of smaller, more intentional in-person events along with more engaging and experimental virtual events. That means all our client appreciation strategies should include the best of both worlds.
