Always go through the professionals

OK, so we’ve got a few ideas to share with you, but first it’s important to note that using a professional incentive events management company is almost certainly the best way to go if you want to go further afield and really pull it out of the bag. Certainly, these ideas will inspire you and can offer some affordable / free incentives; however, an established company will have all of the best contacts and will indeed put on an excellent show for you and your employees! Now, let’s give you some inspiration to get you started.

Yoga

This one doesn’t have to cost you a penny. In fact, you don’t even need to leave the office. However, you could try incorporating this into part of your weekly routine in your workplace. Offer your employees the opportunity to take a little bit of time away from their desk for a spot of relaxation, stretching, and exercise. This is a nice touch because it will make your employees feel more valued, it will significantly reduce work related stress, and well…it’s a good excuse for them to get out of working for a little bit. That said, when they return to their desk, they’ll feel energised and ready for a challenge.

“Come dine with me” manager style

You, your managers, and team leaders should host a breakfast / brunch event in the office, where you prepare food for your employees. This is not only a whole lot of fun, but it will feel good for your employees to be waited on hand and foot by their superiors for once. It’s a bit of harmless fun that can be an excellent laugh, and an effective morale booster.

Laser tag, paintballing or bowling

Get your employees together for some fun team-building activities. This will not only encourage some healthy competition amongst your staff, but they’ll all have an awesome amount of fun as well. You can even split the teams up so that different departments mix and those who don’t spend a lot of time together have a unique opportunity to bond and build bridges.

A healthy sports competition

Take a half day, put your sneakers on and get down to your local part for a game of frisbee, football, or rounders! Put on a healthy sports competition and it will give your employees a great opportunity to stretch their legs, get the blood pumping and again, encourage some friendly competition. But don’t let it get too serious; that way, everyone can take part and enjoy themselves.

Escape rooms & murder mystery dinners

It’s a lot of fun to get a group of employees together for some roleplay, problem solving and all-around banter. Escape rooms and murder mystery dinners are incredibly popular and effective forms of incentives.

Conclusion

Again, some of these can be down on your own, although others will be best arranged through an established events management company like Funktionality. If you’re going to go all out, then do so with the professionals who have all of the best contacts in the industry. This will take the strain off for you, whilst ultimately securing you the best bulk deals!

Create an outdoor space

The whole point of caravan camping is to enjoy the great outdoors, with a little bit of home. Naturally, you want a comfortable space to enjoy your evenings. However, you still need to embrace a little bit of nature. So, how does a caravan camping mat come into it? Well, first of all, it can be laid down just outside the caravan, to create a nice outdoors space. This can be complimented with an awning, attached to the side of the caravan. So, you can shelter yourself from the sun if you want a little respite, whilst still feeling the cool breeze on your face.

This outdoor space can be used in the evenings, with a few cold beers and some food, sat around a table and some chairs. It’s even a great place to take your shoes and thongs off, so as not to drag sand and dirt into caravan. It’s an easy solution to keep the place clean and free of irritants.

Sleep under the stars

Of course, this is very weather dependent and isn’t always an option. However, having a nice big caravan mat to lie down on, with your sleeping mats and bags, can be perfect for creating a lovely space to sleep out under the stars on. You don’t have to do it every night of course, not when you have perfectly good beds inside the caravan. However, there’s nothing quite as special, as falling asleep under a blanket of a thousand diamonds, silently shining over you. Bliss!

Easier to spot

It might sound silly, but if you’re staying in a large caravan park with hundreds of other identical units, then it’s always handy having something that can easily differentiate yours from other peoples, especially if you’re wondering home a little tipsy on a Saturday night! As such, a caravan camping mat with an outdoor area set up will be easy to spot straight away. Simple.

Let the grass breathe

Another benefit of using a caravan camping mat is that they’re designed to let the grass breathe underneath. So, these mats can be left down for long periods of time without killing the grass underneath. The porous nature of the mats keeps a steady flow of oxygen going through, so you don’t have to feel bad about laying your mat down and leaving a nasty dead patch in your wake!

They’re affordable

I suppose the biggest benefit of all is the fact that a caravan camping mat costs next to nothing, especially given how much use you’ll get out of it. Simply head over to affordable camping mats, and you’ll find a grand selection at the most competitive prices. The perfect addition to your caravan camping spot. You’ll never look back!
