Here are some tips for businesses to reassure their target business audience during this pandemic: 1. Direct Reach Clients usually have many queries for the businesses that they are in and these can be answered through direct interaction. Businesses can send emails to their target audience and answer these questions or inform them about the plan they have during COVID-19 to reassure them. 2. Virtual Platforms As COVID-19 is a new situation that most people are unaware of, it is harder for some audiences to adjust to. Therefore, it is important that businesses use various platforms such as Zoom or Webex to discuss business information with their target audience more efficiently. 3. Meeting Needs Other than having various platforms that they can discuss business information with their target audience, it is important that the content is useful as well. By finding out what the target audience requires, the businesses can create content that answers their questions. 4. Measures Taken During An Event During a physical event, it is essential that there are measures taken to reassure the business audience who are attending the event. Such measures include informing the audience what was done to ensure their safety such as the implementation of temperature-taking for all participants, SafeEntry, and many other safe management measures. This would reassure them that their safety is the organisers’ top concern. To conclude, reassuring the business audience is very important as everyone is unfamiliar about the effect COVID-19 can bring to their businesses. This is especially so for physical events that the business audience has to attend. Having precautionary measures taken are very important and there are many services that can help ensure that.

Virtual events can be done via a live streaming session in real-time, or through pre-recorded content that is played back during the event day. There are various pros and cons for each respective way of doing a virtual event, and below are some of the pros and cons of doing a live streaming session. Pros of Live Session 1. Level of Engagement Live sessions allow speakers to engage with the audience through means such as Q&A sessions and jokes. Furthermore, the audience also gets to interact with one another, leading to networking which is preferred for the business industry. For pre-recorded sessions, it is hard for the speakers to engage with the audience as they are not able to see them and gauge how they will react. 2. Time Period One concern would be the time period that the live session will take place. Some information will change according to the time period and it is essential to make sure that the content presented is applicable during that period. For live sessions, it is easier to ensure that the content is up to date. 3. Minimal Work Before Event For live sessions, there is not much editing or recording to do before the event as compared to a pre-recorded session where the video has to be edited before it is published. Cons of Live Session 1. Quality Issues During live sessions, last-minute problems may happen which cannot be controlled such as the quality of audio and video. There are also many factors to take note of such as the location as well as the attendance of the speaker and attendees. 2. Post Event In view of this pandemic, there are many live sessions that are recorded which allows the audience to view the video after the event. In this case, there is much editing to do and this will add to the time spent during the live session. To conclude, there is no right or wrong between a live session and pre-recorded session and its suitability is based on the event. There are various factors to take note of such as the location, number of attendees, and needs of the audience. Need any help with your event?

Due to the pandemic, most physical events are cancelled and are switched to virtual events. However, as most of us are new to this concept, there are mistakes that event organisers tend to overlook when they host virtual events. Take a look at the top 3 mistakes that most event organisers will commit when hosting a virtual event. 1. Overwhelming Content As compared to physical events, there are more distractions that you cannot control when you host a virtual event. Such distractions include incoming emails, social media and games. This is made worse if the content that is being presented is not engaging enough for the audience. They will lose focus and it will be harder to reach your intended objective or outcome. 2. Inappropriate Virtual Meeting Platform Virtual meeting platforms such as Zoom may not be the best platform for you to conduct your virtual event as you may have different needs that can only be fulfilled using different platforms. Not sure of what platform to use? Leave it to JNR Entertainment! We will help to suggest the different platforms and services that we provide which will certainly be beneficial for your virtual event! 3.

What can you do regarding this problem? You can send a survey to request for feedback and a thank you email to express gratitude for their support. To conclude, virtual events will be the new norm and most event organisers will have to find a way to successfully host them.

Due to the pandemic, physical roadshow and exhibitions cannot take place which has affected many businesses, especially when they cannot showcase their products and services. Don’t worry! Here are some benefits of hosting virtual roadshows and showcasing digital exhibitions. 1. Larger Target Audience Physical events can be confined to clients in a specific area, especially when they are overseas.

With this, you are able to enlarge your focus to include anyone overseas, reaching out to more potential customers. 2. Convenience As stated above, your targeted guests would not need to travel anymore. The high cost of travel could be a strong factor that determines whether they will participate in a roadshow. With this huge cost savings, they are highly likely willing to attend the roadshow, allowing you to achieve a satisfactory attendance no. 3. Technology There are many great tools to use for the facilitation of online roadshows which are able to help you save cost for your virtual event. Such resources include Zoom and WebEx which aids in reaching out to a larger group of audience at a much lower cost as compared to a physical event. Furthermore, with the add on of webinars or conferences, speakers are able to present the different topics and allow for feedback and questions to be made known to the speakers. 4. On Demand Sessions Perhaps the best thing about virtual roadshow is the ability to be viewed on request. By recording the whole roadshow and breaking it up into different sessions, audiences who have missed the different sessions are able to replay the recordings once again in their free time. These recordings can then be placed on your company website which can act as a form of marketing tool. With JNR Entertainment, you are able to use the various services provided to ensure a high-quality recording of your talk and to facilitate the discussion to be made within the audience. In conclusion, there are many benefits of hosting virtual roadshows, especially during this COVID 19 period.

Due to the COVID-19 situation, there is a limit to the number of attendees that can attend the physical event. Therefore, many organisers are hosting hybrid events, which are events that combine both in-person and virtual experiences and this will be the new norm in the events industry. Here, we will be talking about what hybrid events are all about. Hybrid events are the ideal solution for those programs that can be successfully held both onsite and in virtual form. These events allow for a small group of participants to be at the onsite venue to attend the event live, and also for the rest of the audience to attend the event online easily. They allow for event organisers to reach out to a greater pool of audience as audiences are not limited by physical or topographical limitations - anyone is able to attend the event easily. Some examples of perfect hybrid event programs include trade shows, conferences and many more. Last year, we also held a hybrid event - Tampines Town Council's Annual Tree Planting Day 2020 which included media and VIPs at the physical venue, and the whole event streamed live online on Zoom and Facebook. Hybrid events like these are very useful when most of your target audience is not able to participate in the physical event due to the COVID-19 restrictions. Even though it was a hybrid event, the online audience could also participate actively through live quizzes and having a virtual live-streamed tour of the event venue. For this Tree Planting event, participants could also register beforehand to receive a D.I.Y. growing kit, which they could 'plant together' with the VIPs onsite at the comfort of their own homes. Other than the pandemic, there are also other reasons which make hybrid events necessary. One reason is that the attendee cannot travel due to health or safety concerns. Other than that, the attendee’s company could have set a budget for them and they could not afford to travel to the event. With the event being held online as well, there is no need for the audience to travel to the event venue, making hybrid events a popular choice for organisers. Ultimately, if you still have doubts about hosting a hybrid event, fret not as we are here to help! We have helped many organisations host events online or offline, and you can leave everything to us.

Due to the COVID-19 situation, we can now bring the physical event experience online, and the audience can participate in the comfort of their own homes. The pandemic has caused the rise of virtual events and these are some of the top few types of virtual events: 1. Webinars Webinars are usually pre-recorded or held live and should include feedback and Q&A to increase audience engagement with the speaker. Furthermore, with the live chat function, the audiences are able to interact within themselves which allows them to forge connections and build new networks. They are perfect for smaller groups, where the communication is from one to many. It allows the speaker to communicate to the audience and also allows for real-time feedback and questions. The controlled environment is perfect for the speaker to have control over Q&A and discussions. 2. Online Trade Show and Exhibitions This is a great platform for businesses to reach out to a larger audience, both locally and overseas to market their products and services to bring in more profits for the company. By reaching out to a larger group of audience through the convenience of online trade shows, they will get to maximise leads which might be potential customers. Though we are unable to hold a physical roadshow in the coming months, you can still showcase your products or services and interact with your potential customers, all digitally. You can even have a virtual 3D booth, that stimulates the physical environment, for a better experience! We can provide you with a platform that comes with clickable navigations and booths, to replicate the real life tradeshows. 3. Online Music Shows or Performances As live performances get cancelled, many talents and artists lose their main source of income. However, these companies and individuals have adapted to the situation and used digital services to live stream their performances for the public to enjoy and to earn some income. If you are a musician looking to live stream your music shows online, reach out to us! We can provide studio rental for you to host your music shows and also stream the whole program live online! Be it streaming on YouTube or Instagram, we've got you covered. 4. Virtual Onboarding Fairs As companies suffered during the pandemic, businesses are focusing on the new hires to bring their companies back up again. However, it is hard to equip these new hires with skills without attending physical training. Hence, many companies chose to prep their new hires through a virtual onboarding fair where they can reach out to their new hires easily. Through virtual onboarding, it allows the company's HR and other employers to reach their new hires easily and pass on relevant information to them. 5. Online Workshops Online workshops are getting popular as the number of activities that can be converted to virtual activities are endless! Such online workshops could include fitness workout, art and craft workshop, magic workshop and many more! With these online workshops, it helps to promote audience engagement and allow the audience to participate in the comfort of their own homes. With more people working from home and the increased level of lethargy, these online workshops will definitely appeal to them as it something interactive and fun. In conclusion, there are various activities that can be done online, and with the right plan, everything is possible! Not sure how to proceed on with the plan in mind?

With the COVID-19 pandemic, events in 2021 and beyond are no longer the same as before. The pandemic has changed how events can be planned and conducted as well as the expectations from clients. Due to the changing expectations, there is a need to make changes and adapt to the current situation. Here are some future events trends to help you better meet customers' needs: 1. Online Marketing Due to the pandemic, there is a rise in digital marketing as more businesses rely on online platforms to market their products or services.

Therefore, businesses are getting more creative and are using technology to aid in the marketing process in virtual events.

Hybrid Events As stated above, due to the restrictions placed on the capacity for physical events, hybrid events which are a mix of physical and virtual events are getting popular. With hybrid events, organisers are still able to reach out to a large number of target audiences while abiding by the safe distancing measures. While hosting a small group of guests at the actual venue, the whole event can be streamed live online for a larger group audience to view. JNR Entertainment can help you organise a hybrid event, providing you with the equipment you require at the actual venue as well as the live stream equipment. 3. Sanitation Procedures The pandemic has increased awareness of sanitation practices worldwide. Safety is the priority for attendees and there is a need for all event organisers to include safety measures such as equipping hand sanitisers and conducting cleaning daily to ensure that the whole venue is clean. Other than that, it is important to inform attendees about the different safety measures that are in place to provide some form of relief to them. To provide you with peace of mind for your events, check out our Safe Management Measures Package available for rental! The package is inclusive of necessities such as hand sanitiser, temperature screener and safe distancing stickers. 4. Live Streaming and Streaming Services The pandemic has also affected live performances and movie screenings, therefore, many of them have found an alternative way through live streaming and video streaming services. By doing this, it ensures that audiences are still able to enjoy performances and this has even brought them closer to the performers. Not sure where to start? JNR Entertainment provides high-quality live streaming services that will be assisted with live stream crews from the start to the end! 5. Individual Travel Incentives Incentive travel programs are extremely beneficial in helping to encourage workers and acknowledge their contribution to the company. Event trends have indicated that group incentive travel might slow down while individual travel incentives face an uprising trend. In closing, there may be drastic changes to the expectation and how events can be conducted but fret not, you can always count on professionals from JNR Entertainment to help you plan your next event successfully!

As many physical events have been cancelled, many are switching to virtual events and event organisers are wondering how to increase traffic for these events. Here are some ways to get more traffic for your virtual events: 1. Marketing Plan After understanding your target audience, you will get to know more about their needs. With a good marketing plan, you will be able to reach out to your target audience and inform them about the event successfully. This can be done through different platforms such as websites, webinars and social media which can be decided based on the profile of your target audience. 2. Attention-Grabbing Landing Page In digital marketing, a landing page is a page created for a marketing or advertising campaign, where the target audience will arrive after they click on a link in an email or advertisement. With an attention-grabbing landing page, it helps to minimise the cost of acquiring a lead or sale and increase conversion rates (signups, registration) for the campaign. At JNR Entertainment, we can help you create a landing page or website just for your event! With a customised domain page, your participants can easily access the page to register for the event or find out more information. We can even help to develop a Virtual Event Platform that is specifically for your event. Participants can simply access the platform to participate in the different activities available. 3. Sharing After having participants register for your event, you can encourage them to share about the event with others, which can help increase the attendance rate. For this kind of promotion, it is usually free or low cost and the public will be encouraged to attend the event through word-of-mouth recommendations from trusted friends and family members. 4. Video Previews Audiences are usually more interested in exciting and interesting videos which allows them to understand the intent of the whole event and what they can expect from attending the event. A short glimpse of what they can expect usually gives audiences a sense of thrill, making it more compelling for them to attend the event. If you are looking for video production services, look no further, as we are able to help you create a compelling and exciting video preview for your event! In closing, these are some ways to increase traffic to your virtual event and they can be done very easily!

Due to COVID-19, hosting virtual events has become the norm, however, physical events have not disappeared totally due to the government loosening safe distancing measures. Here are some comparisons made between virtual and physical events that will help you make better decisions. Pros of Virtual Events Firstly, virtual events are able to reach out to a larger group of audiences which allows their target to be met even faster and even exceed their expectation. Without the need to travel to a specific location for the event, it may encourage a higher audience participation rate. This brings us to the next point where it helps us to save travel costs. This is especially important to companies who have set a travel budget for their workers which may make it hard for them to travel overseas to attend virtual events such as trade shows. Another benefit would be that the session can be recorded and watched again by the target audience who have missed the conference. This will certainly make it more convenient for everyone. With our Live Streaming Services, we can help you bring your event live online for the audience to view from anywhere they want! Cons of Virtual Events There is limited socialisation that can take place due to the lack of face to face interaction. Due to this, there is less networking and sharing of ideas, which could impact the growth of some businesses. However, this can be solved with the usage of a virtual platform that comes with interactive features. For instance, the inclusion of the chatbox function will allow participants to interact with one another. One other thing is the distractions that could be beside the attendee which could affect their attention level. This cannot be controlled by the event organisers, and it may result in them being unable to achieve the marketing effect desired when attendees are distracted. Pros of Physical Events One advantage of physical events would be the ease of marketing certain products. Some products are best advertised through the sense of touch and this can be done during the physical event. Additionally, there are more chances for interaction to take place between speakers and the audience. For marketing promotion events, this is definitely an advantage as such face-to-face interactions will result in a higher conversion rate. Cons of Physical Events One disadvantage would be the time restriction placed on the event. With a limited time, busy individuals who cannot make it in time will miss out on the event. Furthermore, as some of the physical events are outdoor events, they may be cancelled due to unfavourable weather conditions. Physical events are also restricted based on the location. This will affect the number of attendees as some of them may not be willing to travel long distances to attend an event. In conclusion, both physical and virtual events are beneficial in helping to achieve certain objectives set and there is no right or wrong to use either one of them. Choosing the right kind of event varies according to the objective, budget, scale and many other factors. Unsure of which kind of event is the most suitable for your event?

While it is important to focus on your company’s growth, it is also imperative to ensure that your employees are working well as a team during this pandemic. Working from home for some may make this nearly impossible, however, with the right team building activities, strong bonds can be created which improves team cohesion. Here are some of the top team building activities that your employees can participate in to create a stronger team! 1. Coffee Breaks You can assign a short 15-minute break in between work where the team can join a video call through the team chat software. Through the 15-minutes talk, they are able to interact with each other through meaningful conversations formed, fostering a strong team relationship. Alternatively, gift cards to a coffee shop can be distributed to all employees to encourage them to get on their feet and grab a cup of drink midday. This provides a little perk-me-up for all employees and will make them feel like they are valued. At the same time, it is also a reminder for them to take a break and move about instead of sitting in front of the computer the entire day. 2. Game Sessions Through games, employees are able to interact in a more fun manner as compared to just simply having dull conversations between themselves which may not be meaningful. By engaging JNR Entertainment’s online teambuilding services, your gaming sessions will be even more successful with the help of our facilitators onboard. We can help to host simple and fun game sessions for your employees to participate in. Games could be simple trivia quizzes, the 'Werewolf' game, or simple some icebreaker games that can help to keep employees engaged. Games would be conducted through a web conferencing platform, allowing all the participants to e-meet and communicate with one another. 3. Virtual Escape Room For a more thrilling experience, you can consider our virtual escape room, which is able to cater to a larger group of people making it a suitable team-building activity. With the ability to connect many people at once, it is a powerful tool to forge meaningful bonds. How do you go about conducting a virtual escape room? Let JNR Entertainment help you!

Participants are able to experience the physical escape room experience from the comfort of their own homes. 4. Team Movie Night Your team can also host a monthly team movie night which can be streamed through a video call. By opening up the shared chat function, everyone will be able to share responses and talk about the film which will spark meaningful conversations. Employees are able to bond over this experience that is more relaxing and laid back. It is the perfect activity for them to relax and participate in after work. 5.
