The Temptation of DIY
In our day-to-day lives, it can feel tempting to save money, learn new skills, and do things ourselves. There’s a sense of pride and satisfaction that comes with completing DIY projects — even assembling IKEA furniture successfully. (Hooray! No leftover screws!)
On the other hand, there are times when we start something and realize we’re in over our heads. Have you ever tried to fix a leaky toilet, rewire a chandelier, or paint your own house? Chances are, you ended up hiring an expert to finish what you started. The reality is we save time and money — and get a better result — when we hire an expert from the beginning.
Relying on Outside Help
Many companies rely on outside expertise for legal, finance, auditing, marketing, and events. This external help supplements the internal team and lets everyone focus on what they do best.
The same is true for team building — especially if you want fun involved!
Save Time (and Stress)
Most of our clients are event planners or executive assistants who take on the task of planning a “fun corporate event.” It sounds easy in theory. However, most people aren’t experts in executing fun team building events — they’re experts in planning, project management, and administration.
Experts like Grin Events free up our clients to focus on their core responsibilities. As a result, they avoid the added pressure of an assignment they may have no experience with.
Additionally, we’ve seen clients try to plan DIY team building to save a few dollars — only to realize they were in over their heads. Sourcing event equipment is one hurdle. Recognizing that a skilled emcee is essential to running the exercises well is another. That DIY approach often leads to wasted time and unnecessary stress. Fortunately, we’ve stepped in many times to help get things back on track.
After all, time is worth more than money and your team deserves a world-class, fun team building experience.
Calling In The Experts (In Fun)
We think about how to have fun 24/7 and hold excellence as a core value. Fun and quality don’t have to be mutually exclusive. Planning a Team Connecting event involves countless details — clean equipment, a proper PA system, and high-energy staff who keep everyone motivated and engaged.
We invest everything we have — in the most fun way possible — to deliver professional, well-organized events. Every client leaves with an amazing experience. That’s the standard we hold ourselves to.
Our points of contact have full to-do lists. So we make working with us as seamless as possible. Our goal is to be a company clients can trust to pull off an A+ event. We consult them every step of the way and handle setup, teardown, and everything in between — so they can relax and enjoy the event themselves.
Don’t take our word for it – read our Google Reviews to see what others are saying.
A Case Study: DIY vs Hiring Experts
We recently worked with a vendor-partner whose client wanted something “big and fun” for an offsite event. Originally, our partner planned to organize the fun portion themselves. However, they quickly realized they lacked the skill sets to pull it off at the level their client expected.
Instead, they called on Grin Events to host an in-person Game Show. That decision kept them from doing something outside their wheelhouse. It also saved them time and gave attendees a great experience.
The result? Our partner looked like a genius — and the client’s team raved about how much fun they had.
