Medical-themed party: a pill for boredom

Have you decided to show all your talents and arrange an unforgettable evening for yourself and your friends? Then a medical themed party is what you need! This evening you can play your own clinic or take scenes from popular medical series such as “The Interns,” “House M.D.,” and “Scrubs.” If you are using existing plots, it is better to initially define roles for everyone. This way, your friends will have the opportunity to prepare not only with costumes, but also to create a certain image and there will be no confusion with the characters.

Invitations

Of course, you can notify your friends about the upcoming party by phone or by sending messages on social networks.
But in our time, it will be much more original if you use the old fashioned method and make invitations on paper, which you then hand over personally to the addressee or send by classic mail. Naturally, no one suggests that you write an invitation on a card with flowers, which can be bought at any florist or newsstand. Using a computer and several free programs, you can make such a postcard yourself without much effort and expense. It may depict a sexy nurse or a fairy-tale character Doctor Aibolit. You can even make a collage of a hospital room with all your friends in it. In general, there is a lot of room for your imagination. If your abilities are limited to searching for articles on the Internet, then invitations can be made in the style of primitivism, that is, cut out photographs and various pictures from magazines or newspapers and, armed with glue, glue them onto a sheet of paper, which can then simply be reproduced using a photocopier.

You can also make medical-themed party invitations in the form of a prescription instructing the patient to relax in your apartment, or in the form of a direction instructing them to have a blast.

For staff

Holidays for employees are an effective tool for uniting the team, eliminating awkwardness, and integrating newcomers into the team. I know that not all owners use this tool - more often the masters gather themselves, somewhere in a cafe or restaurant after work.

Possible holidays:

1. professional - Hairdresser's Day on September 13, nail technician's day on March 24, cosmetologist's day on April 7, and so on;
2. salon birthday . The holiday is often held for clients, but after the official part it is permissible to hold a separate event for employees;
3. employee birthdays. Of course, even with a staff of 20 people, celebrations will have to be organized constantly. To reduce costs and not be too distracted from work, combine several nearby birthdays and celebrate them at once;
4. calendar holidays – New Year, March 8.

Beauty holiday calendar

Options for celebrations:

• budget. The most budget option is a celebration in a beauty salon. After closing, set the tables, turn on soft music, think over a program with competitions, if the size of the team allows;
• away. Book a place for yourself and your employees in a restaurant, cafe, or equestrian club. Or hold an active event - paintball, for example. Here the expenses will be higher, so it is advisable to hold such a holiday for major events - the salon’s birthday or the New Year.

Rules for corporate events for employees:

• prepare presents . If you are celebrating a birthday, prepare a gift for the birthday person. It is not necessary to buy him a yacht - a symbolic but useful gift. A universal option for any woman is a certificate to a cosmetics store. Choose the denomination based on your budget. Employees appreciate incentives before the New Year in the form of a cash bonus; on March 8, organize flowers - small bouquets of 5-7-9 tulips - it’s not so expensive, but nice;
• invite everyone . It shouldn’t happen that 8 people went to relax in a cafe, and two stayed to work. It’s better to go to the celebration after work or on a day off, when all employees are free.
• warn about the holiday in advance, because employees may have plans.

Don’t skimp on corporate events for employees—hundreds of companies have proven that periodic holidays together increase employee cohesion and productivity, improve their mood and increase loyalty.

How to decorate a room

To hold a medical party you need the appropriate setting. But you don’t need to use bandages as garlands or write “I’ll take your temperature for free” on the window in brilliant green. You can imitate a hospital ward, remove excess furniture and put beds instead of chairs. But, if you do not live in a dormitory, then you are unlikely to have such an opportunity. Therefore, just make it sterile, like in a hospital room, cover the bed with a white sheet, put flowerpots and carpets away. In the form of decorations, you can use droppers, enemas, various pears, and a stethoscope. You can put a pack of kefir on the bedside table and put fruit in a net.

Types of events

An event is a pre-planned event dedicated to some significant date.

Thanks to holidays, buffets and other forms of events, the beauty salon:

• brings the team together, improves the atmosphere;
• demonstrates concern for employees and interest in their leisure time;
• reminds potential and current clients about yourself;
• increases visitor loyalty and builds a community;
• helps to establish contact with still “cold” doubtful clients;
• stands out from competitors who do not hold any events.

According to surveys, only 40% of all beauty salons have introduced the tradition of holding holidays at least once a year.

This is mainly taken care of in large cities - Moscow and St. Petersburg. The regions are far behind in this regard, which means there is an opportunity to become, if not a pioneer, then at least one of the first to engage not only in direct activities - beauty services, but also in additional interaction with clients.

In our article we will divide all activities into 2 types:

• internal – only for salon employees;
• social – for clients, passers-by.

What to cook for a party

You can cook anything for your guests, but you don’t need to make oatmeal with kefir for your guests. Not only the treats you prepare, but also alcoholic drinks require special presentation. Alcohol should be drunk the way medical professionals do it. That is, you can pour it into test tubes or special cups for testing.

Meat baked in the oven, or pizza and chips are also suitable for treats. But once you start being original, you don’t need to stop. You can order sushi for the whole company, but use medical tweezers instead of ordinary chopsticks, or you can use a scalpel instead of a table knife to cut meat. Of course, you can do without special decoration of dishes and be content only with the tips listed above. But original dishes will decorate your party and delight all guests. You can make an ambulance out of the salad, with chicken eggs as the wheels, and a red cross laid out with pomegranate seeds or crab sticks. The syringes filled with various sauces that stick out from the chicken loin will look original.

Features of organizing events for clients

• start preparing in advance - only then everything will go according to plan and the beauty salon celebration will not be disrupted. It is ideal to start preparing 3-4 weeks in advance;
• start with setting a budget and, based on it, plan events . A holiday for clients should not be too expensive if the budget does not allow, but 3 balloons at the entrance cannot be called an event;
• also send invitations to clients in advance . Send the newsletter via SMS or personal call to everyone. We do not recommend sending information by e-mail - the letter will be lost among dozens of others;
• If you plan to present a product or service, contact the supplier or manufacturer . Ask for as much information as possible, as well as for booklets and flyers;
• develop a script . Even if there is no program as such, write down all stages of the event. Instruct the involved employees. Clients will not like panic, fuss and confused looks from staff. Everyone must remain professional;
• make sure there is air in the room . If there are a lot of people, the cabin will quickly become stuffy and it will not be comfortable to be there. Make sure that hoods and air conditioners work and windows open. Provide clients with unhindered access to drinking water, even if there is some kind of buffet;
• think over the treats . If the program is large - more than 1-1.5 hours, be sure to arrange a table. Optimally - canapés, snacks, fruits, mini-cakes. The main thing is that the treat is portioned - it is more hygienic.
• end the holiday with gratitude . It’s cool if the final speech is given by the owner of the beauty salon - the value of the holiday in the eyes of the client increases.

Suits

Given the specifics of the event, all guests must arrive in costume. Naturally, the first thing that comes to mind is a sexy nurse costume. But, you must admit, what kind of party would it be if there were only nurses at it? Therefore, already in the invitations to the party, you can offer each guest the image in which he should attend the evening. This could be a patient, a doctor, a nurse, or an orderly.

Adult stores can help you with a nurse or doctor costume; with the rest of the costumes you need to tinker with it yourself. In order to portray a nurse, you can buy a special suit and cap at a clothing store. Give free rein to your imagination and ingenuity by easily creating an image of a patient. Guys can come even in the most ordinary tracksuit or pajamas, making a bandage on any part of the body. To complete the look, girls can simply take a beautiful robe and high-heeled shoes, because it is so important for girls to be on top in any situation.

Competitions

Even alcohol at a party will not provide as much fun and joy as you can get from interesting competitions. Since you decide to hold a medical themed party, then the competitions should be appropriate. What kind of fun to arrange is decided not only by you, but also by the capabilities of the room where you are holding the party. Below are some competitions that are sure to please your guests.

"First aid"

For this competition you need to choose two or three pairs. Men are asked to indicate any part of the body and only after that give bandages to the girls. Then, on command, the girl is given a bandage on that part of the body that the guy from her team had previously indicated. Whoever managed it first won.

In the same way, you can play mummy or invite everyone to make the same bandage.

"Fanta"

Everyone remembers their favorite childhood game - forfeits. The same game can be turned into a therapeutic competition.

For example, everyone throws their forfeits into their hats. The presenter touches the forfeit with a question to everyone present: “What is this forfeit doing?” The rest come up with fun tasks (for example, offering first aid to neighbors or measuring blood pressure), and the one whose forfeit comes out of the hat completes the task.

"Diagnosis"

Everyone present takes part in this game at once. To do this, everyone needs to sit in a circle, take a small piece of paper on which to write any diagnosis. This piece of paper is then glued to the forehead of the person sitting to your right. Thus, each participant in the circle has a specific diagnosis, which he must guess with the help of leading questions. The rest of the participants should answer only yes or no (For example, you have been diagnosed with diarrhea. You ask the other participants: “Is it related to the head?” They answer: “No.” Your next question could be: “Is it related to the stomach?” They They answer: “Yes.” And so on).

"Cow"

This game is loved by everyone, young and old. After all, who can have more fun with than an adult who is bending over backwards trying to portray a given task. The tasks, of course, must correspond to the theme of the evening. To conduct the competition, everyone present must be divided equally into two teams. Players of one team choose a participant from the other team and give him a task (this can be any medical item, such as a tampon or scalpel, or it can be a medicine or even a diagnosis). The selected player must show it to his team using gestures alone.

You can also organize a themed party in the style of the USSR.

To make the task more difficult, you can set a time limit.

"Dart"

For this competition you will need small balls and five syringes. The balls should be inflated and placed on the wall using tape, and the syringes should be filled with water. A little trick and your medical dartz is ready.

For clients

A holiday in a beauty salon for clients is more difficult to organize, because it is necessary to involve not only specialists in the event, but also potential or current clients. For this reason, it is easier for owners to abandon the tool altogether.

Conducted for clients:

• salon birthday;
• client day;
• opening celebration.

These are the three dates that most often become the reason for organizing a holiday. Depending on the budget, reputation and desire of the owners, others are held - World Beauty Day, for example.

In addition to the fact that client holidays attract attention and set you apart from competitors, such events can generate additional revenue. This is possible if the celebration is based on the presentation of a new product or service. You can offer visitors to try a new product at a special, low price, reminding that starting tomorrow the price of the procedure will increase significantly - special conditions only for those who come.

Salon birthday

The date of the salon’s birthday is most often the opening day, but if this date is not at all suitable, you can hold a celebration on the day of registration, or on the day of naming. None of the clients will go into details, so don’t bother yourself too much.

The main participants of the holiday are the clients of the beauty salon. If status and budget allow, they also invite :

• partners;
• representatives of large suppliers;
• local authorities.

Depending on the number of guests, the birthday party is held:

• in a beauty salon;
• on a third party site.

The second option is expensive and the likelihood of attracting customers is lower, so it is more effective and cheaper to hold a celebration in the salon.

Let's talk separately about the format of the holiday. Here it is worth starting from the segment in which the beauty salon operates :

• economy For small establishments with low prices, a classic celebration option is suitable. To do this, decorate the entrance area and inform visitors that it is your birthday. Organize a place inside for master classes or questions to the master, offer discounts on common procedures. Have a small buffet and invite a photographer. To increase the flow of consumers, organize the work of an animator who will inform passers-by about the event and invite them to the procedure at a discount;
• business. The peculiarity of the business segment is that it is constantly busy - people who are sick of work. They are unlikely to have time for an extensive program, master classes and presentations, keep this in mind. Give gifts to all clients who come on this day. Stationery with the salon logo is perfect - diaries, pens, business card holders;
• lux. For luxury salons, there are several celebration options. The most popular is a party. The event takes place in the evening, all guests are in suits and dresses, a buffet table, pleasant music. Such a holiday is similar to a social reception, where guests socialize and have a little drink. You definitely need a photographer, videographer, a cultural program - an artist’s performance, a mini-concert of live music.

The cost of such a holiday can start from 5,000 rubles. and up to 150,000.

Presentations of products or services work well in the economy and luxury segments. Of course, the presentation must correspond to the format of the event. Business representatives usually don’t have time for this.

Client Day

Customer Day is celebrated on March 19 and is international - it is celebrated in the USA, Latvia, Russia and in almost all European countries. The purpose of the holiday is to thank people for their loyalty and devotion.

Client Day is held in the salon. Work usually doesn’t stop - those who wish can go for a manicure or haircut, and at the same time be treated to buffet dishes, take part in competitions, and receive prizes.

Common activities on Client Day:

• master classes . Demonstrations from professionals related to the care of hands and feet, hair, hairstyles, makeup are suitable;
• competitions. Uncomplicated and not requiring debt involvement. The simplest thing is to inflate balloons and put pieces of paper in them indicating the prize. The prize can be tangible - a notebook, a sweet set, shampoo, cream, or not - a discount on a procedure, a free procedure, care as a gift;
• diagnostics from a specialist, free makeup, selection of professional care.

To conduct it for the client, invite an animator to attract people from the street. On a day when everything inside is for the client, it is much easier to attract new visitors. Animators charge from 500 rubles for an hour of work, but the clients they attract can bring you much more.

Please note that on the client's day, all visitors leave with a tangible gift. Emotions are, of course, good, but it is better that a person has a reminder of the event, not a memory. As an option, collect small gift bags - put in them souvenir pens, a travel version of hand cream, useful brochures on self-care. You can put together “richer” packages - it all depends on the budget.

Salon opening

From the point of view of goals, the opening of a salon and the salon’s birthday are different holidays. The main goal of the opening celebration is to inform customers within a radius of 1-2 kilometers and attract them. Newly opened salons do not have loyal customers, so every person who enters is a potential consumer of services.

As part of the opening of the salon, it is necessary to show all the advantages to future clients, so most often at such an event it is held:

• diagnostic procedures and consultations . Usually held free of charge;
• Providing salon services with big discounts . The bigger the discount, the better. Ideally, set the price equal to the cost of the procedure or a little higher, because the goal of the opening party is not to make money, but to attract as much as possible;
• lottery. Sell ​​tickets for a symbolic price or give them away for free - an animator can help here. Choose prizes in the lottery based on your budget - play a discount on the procedure, creams, mini-shampoos, branded products - notebooks, pens, mugs, certificates for procedures.

A table would be appropriate, but don’t overdo it – the goal is not to feed, but to interest people, so make a table with fruit, canapés and drinks.

Prizes for competitions

Competitions involve prizes. Each winner must receive their winnings. Of course, you can take iodine, cough tablets or a pack of cotton wool as gifts, but it will be much nicer to receive a pack of ascorbic acid or a hematogen bar, which will not only bring gastronomic pleasure, but will also remind you of childhood.

In addition to competitions, you need to come up with other entertainment. You can come up with a funny scene and act it out with your friends, or you can draw a poster depicting a person’s body and force guests to attach various organs to it with their eyes closed.

And most importantly, don’t forget to take a camera to capture everything as a memory. Years later, you will continue to get together and, looking through the photos, remember the fun days spent with friends.
