I'm so excited!  This year marks the 5th Anniversary for posh parties, LLC. This is a big deal! According to the Small Business Administration's web site, the survivial rate for new businesses is 70% for 2 years, 50% for 5 years. Fortunately, my hard work and talent paid off.  In honor of my 'survival', I'm showcasing corporate milestone celebrations in this issue of party possibilities - and offering another 'posh' promotion because the last one was so much fun!.
 
I'd also like to take this opportunity to acknowledge a few important people.  To my clients, thank you for your business; for trusting me with the care of your special event and then, referring me to your friends.  To my preferred vendors, thank you for being a part of the 'posh' team.  To my family and friends, especially my husband, Scott, thank you for your tremendous support.
 
Enjoy the 'celebration' and please let me know how I may assisst with your next celebration!
Corporate Milestone Celebrations
 
Below are recent examples of corporate milestone celebrations to inspire your next celebration! 

Promotion
Two weeks ago,The Dandelion Patch celebrated their Sweet 16 with a week-long promotion; 16% off in-store purchases and a FREE scoop of ice cream for each $50 spent.
 
New Logo
For its centennial celebration, the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History designed a new logo, as well as a dedicated exhibit and web page.
 
Social Media
The Museum of Natural History has also created a Facebook page and is encouraging fans to write their favorite museum memories and share photos on the wall.
 

Contest
Little Debbie has been around for 50 years!  To celebrate, they hosted a look-a-like contest in March to refresh the face of Little Debbie.  I thought this idea was super cute and seriously considered sending my 5-year old's photo in; she's a strawberry blonde with 4 dimples (so her Daddy tells her).
 

Philanthropy tied into Employee Celebration
In May, AOL kicked off its 25th anniversary with "Monster Day" a global philanthropy event. Employees were treated to a campus-wide party to include marching band and cheerleaders, custom cake and the reappearance of the Running Man.  Further, alumni were invited, as was the VA governor who proclaimed May 20 AOL Day and buildings were dedicated to key founding executives.  Request a Proclamation from the Virginia Governor.
