Cuando hablamos de Incentivos nos vienen muchas definiciones a la cabeza, pero ¿qué es realmente un incentivo? Un incentivo es aquello que te motiva, o que simplemente te da ese empujón que necesitas ante una adversidad. 

Si hablamos en concreto de incentivos corporativos, son los que se convierten en un efectivo recurso para lograr equipos comprometidos y eficaces. El origen de los incentivos corporativos se remonta a la segunda mitad del siglo XIX, cuando surgió la corriente de la Administración Científica, en la que uno de sus autores, Frederick W. Taylor, expuso que los profesionales se esforzaban más cuando recibían un aliciente adicional en función de su productividad. 

No obstante, aunque el concepto de incentivo laboral nació con este marcado carácter, en las últimas décadas ha ampliado su significado, implicando cualquier estímulo, tangible o intangible, que se ofrece a una persona o grupo con el objetivo de que incremente su rendimiento y producción. Por lo tanto, no necesariamente deben ser económicos, sino que también pueden ser facilidades para la conciliación familiar, más tiempo libre para los empleados, un viaje, un reconocimiento público en la propia empresa (el empleado del mes), etc… 

Si nos centramos en el viaje, éste se convierte en un poderoso aliciente, pues no solo consiste en transportarse físicamente a un lugar. Es también la experiencia intelectual, emocional y espiritual que tenemos cuando escapamos de nuestro entorno cotidiano para conocer paisajes y culturas nuevas, visiones del mundo diferentes. 

Hoy os hablamos de 10 destinos que nos parecen maravillosos para la realización de estos incentivos en la Península. ¿Nos acompañáis? 

Bilbao 

Bilbo es uno de los principales centros económicos y culturales del norte de España y ha ganado reconocimiento internacional como punto de referencia arquitectónico.

The Slow movement is to show us how you can lead a full life, without hurry, making each person control their existence and take ownership of it.

The Slow movement has its beginning in the Plaza España in Rome (Italy) in 1986 and is the result of a certain attitude by the journalist Carlo Petrini when he met the opening of a Mc Donalds restaurant in this historic enclave of the Italian capital. He considered that the limits of the acceptable were being exceeded and predicted the dangers that loomed over the eating habits of Europeans, determined to imitate the dictates of the other side of the Atlantic. The response was swift, the seed of the Slow Food movement being founded.
It is currently a movement that is booming both in food, travel and is now being implemented in the meetings.

Slow Meeting: a new concept

When we talk about Slow Meeting, what we are looking for is productivity and efficiency through connecting between colleagues, seeking to change the way in which meetings are currently structured. It is clear that millennials and the Z generation are the entrepreneurs of the future and that they were born with technology in their hands. This movement is intended to interact with people again, leaving aside technology and focusing on how meetings were genuinely.
Mindfulness is sought, for people to speak, express themselves, mix and share. They look for the structure to provide maximum experience and, therefore, usually, they are carried out in spaces very different from those we are used to visualize when they call us “Work Meeting”. They tend to be different outdoor spaces, not in a big city, so that creative ideas are born by having a calm mind.

Venues Slow Meeting

Increasingly we discover Venues that work with the Slow movement. These are spaces that prioritize networking, calm, an environment favorable to human relationships. In this sense, this concept not only affects the location of the meeting or event but also the disposition of the attendees. When e seeks to foster dialogue, we cannot think of traditional formats such as school or theater. The idea is to bring people closer, to facilitate contact with much more modular furniture, less sober and flexible in terms of assemblies.
Some of the spaces that bet on the Slow Meeting philosophy are in Rural Meeting for example. Platform where they offer different spaces in Spain where to make a slow meeting and also enjoy a getaway in the middle of nature.
We leave you the link so you can read a post that they published about 5 reasons for making meetings outside the city, it is very interesting.

The terraces of the hotels have become an essential of urban leisure willing to quench the heat, being seen in more exclusive environments, enjoying an evening with endless possibilities, of "skylines" that will leave you speechless, mj´ñxcfd parties , afterworks of companies ...
Summer is ending but the good weather that September and October offers us still invite us to want to celebrate events abroad, a very good option is the terraces, taking into account the variety of green areas, exteriors and with wonderful views that Barcelona offers us .

We are talking about the terraces on the roofs, which are located on the floors from the 10th at the Hotel Royal Passeig de Gracia in Barcelona, ​​to the 5th in the case of the Monument Hotel or the 7th floor of the Claris Hotel, spaces that invite us to to enjoy the most spectacular views of the city, those rooftops that tell so many stories and that have appeared so many times in songs, one of the great jewels that undoubtedly houses Barcelona and that bring us a little closer to the sky.

What factors do most of them have in common? in our point of view, as a sales representatives of some of them and as experts in the search for new Venues for our clients:

They are “a place to be”, the place where you should be, it is the most sought-after summer plan, the places in the cities that we usually look for just before fleeing from them to enjoy the holidays and that when we return we Remember the sunsets that we have experienced in recent days.
- They are all on the roofs of the hotels, open to the public, not just the hotel guest.
- Many of them have swimming pools, for the exclusive use of the hotel clients, but that allow to give a refreshing air during those most stifling nights and those that we can use at times to distribute decorative candles or other elements.
- In all of them there is a Bar service and in some of them they also serve cocktails, dinners, finger buffet lunch…
- The environment is more exclusive almost private, since access is limited and their capacity too.
- They offer "skylines" that will leave you speechless and also enjoy a very different image of the city.
- In the open air, with the option of being able to enjoy them also during the autumn and winter period when they are covered and even with heating systems, such as the terrace 83.3 of the Hotel Royal Passeig de Gracia or the Eleven Bar of NH Calderón .
- These terraces usually add a good atmosphere with innovative cocktail proposals.
- Live Music, which reminds the environments of many video clips that have been shot on rooftops of famous cities, from the Beatles to Depeche Mode or U2 for example

Summer asks us for refresh in all its modalities: cold water baths, fridge drinks, shadows and breezes.

In the category of refreshing drink, and festive at the same time, are cocktails. These careful preparations that delight our palate and senses, and that we must keep at bay if we do not want them to cloud our vision….
The cocktails combine liquors, alcohols and various drinks to reach a new dimension.

Classic movie cocktails

These combination, elaborated as if they were masterly treated, are part of the story and have a presence in our current life.
Many of them have made history and are part of our memories.
Without going too far, we all remember the famous “Cosmopolitan” of the series Sex in New York. Vodka, triple dried, cranberry juice, lemon juice, a piece of orange rind and ice. A drink that bets on fruits combined with white liquor.

Another iconic cocktail that comes to mind is “A vodka with a dry martini, mixed not stirred”. The famous sentence that appears in all the films of James Bond, who opted for a dry drink without frills or color tints. One more characteristic of this hard and cerebral in appearance character.

The Lost in Translation movie made us taste a Tonic Vodka and a Whiskey in the bar of the Tokyo Hotel bar with Scarlett Johansson and Bill Murray.
The first a more youthful, cheerful and fruity drink, while the second for many represents maturity.

The role of the cocktail in events

About cocktails we can find a lot of literature, bars of worship, famous bar tenders and courses of all durations and specialties.
They are also a resource for corporate events that offer hotels, restaurants, bars, venues and caterings.
We can think, among others, of a cocktail workshop in the framework of the corporate event. The activities around Gin Tonic, for example, have become very popular. Knowing the history of gin, its infinite varieties, the most appropriate tonic for each of them and the “flavors” that most marry is a really interesting experience.

The cocktail can also have a great role in corporate events accompanied by music, as is the case of the Pianobar: on the one hand, a traditional piano, and on the other, a real cocktail bar. A spectacle for your event, which fits in any venue and provides an extraordinary atmosphere.

Beyond cocktail as a drink

A cocktail is also a social or corporate event that is held in the evening in order to celebrate or present something. Its duration can range between 1 and 2 hours. It is served standing up and consists of snacks that can be eaten with a bite and drinks.

Another use we give to this word is for clothing. The cocktail dress is characterized by its cut at knee height, or a few centimeters above or below it. It can be taken both day and night, for events that require a certain label.

In another order of things, if we talk about visualization, that is, of the mental image that comes to our head when we hear this word, it can also be that of the 1988 Tom Cruise film and that coincided with its consolidation as a movie star .
‘Cocktail’ is neon lights, alcohol, nightlife, disco music, decay, ambition… but it’s also romance, fun, life lessons and survival laws ”(Cinema and Cinema).

The incentive trip is, within the corporate events sector, a business marketing tool based on an activity designed to motivate people to achieve business goals. Incentive trips allow customer loyalty, motivate sales teams, coalesce departments and promote business development and culture.

According to Philip Eidsvold, Director of Accounts of Aimia and member of the board of directors of SITE, the International Association of Incentive Travel, it is important to remind companies that incentive trips bring them benefits and added value, as it motivates employees to better professional performance.

The incentive as an enriching experience.

In incentive trips it is important today to incorporate experiences that connect to a specific destination or location, creating unique memories. The trips based on history and immersion in the local culture, those that have a learning component, create an additional value to the experience of the participants and are usually the most demanded in this type of business events.

The destination of the incentive trip must take into account the strategic criteria of the company and its specific objectives. Following this cultural and authenticity component of the travel, and just as an example, in the Ciudad Real area we can link the incentive to several factors:

– Manchego cheese. The best known and most important of Spanish cheeses. Archaeological remains show that centuries before Christ this product was already made.
– Wine D. O. Valdepeñas. Valdepeñas, which concentrates the largest number of wineries in the area. White wines, from the Airen grape, are very light in the mouth, slightly alcoholic, yellow and moderately acidic. The reds, coming from the cencibel grape, are wines with more body, as a result of their particular elaboration.
– Gastronomy. It offers a variety of dishes such as: crumbs, porridge, galianos, “asadillo”and stews.
– El Quijote: In this territory, this great literary work will be remembered as it crosses its plains, old sales, villages with wide streets, crests with white mills and the largest vineyard in Europe
– Nature: Amazing nature of lagoons and spectacular landscapes that allow activities such as canoing, quad excursions, bird watching, night stars, geocatching, hiking, etc.

The incentive event beyond Madrid city

The city of Madrid, with its international airport and rail and road network connections, often becomes the start of the incentive trip that has as its destination a great diversity of nearby areas.
Leaving the big city to propose alternative destinations to these types of events is a trend that continues to grow. The benefits of these options outside the city allow:
– Eliminate stress
– Visit natural landscapes and do outdoor activities
– Discover cultural secrets
– Savor an exquisite gastronomic and wine offer.

Manel Colmenero, co-director of Ocio Vital, mentions a phrase from Eric From “Creativity requires having the courage to let go eventually of all certainties” to argue that habitually unconventional environments, where peace and serenity surround us, is where we can get the best results. The mind needs break the routine, be relaxed to create and find solutions. In natural environments we connect with real legends that allow us not to lose faith in everything we do.

If we add a good dynamization and connection with the assistant, the incentive event then becomes an experience.

We talk about some destinations for incentive events near Madrid:

– Segovia: Declared a World Heritage by UNESCO. It is worth enjoying the vision of its aqueduct, the cathedral, the fortress, wandering through its narrow streets and savoring the famous piglet.
– Toledo: Medieval city heritage of humanity. In this city history, art, culture, gastronomy and crafts are mixed with its famous damascene.
– Ávila: Medieval city, of the three cultures, World Heritage. Walk its wall, visit the historic center, taste its beans, the ribeye and the yolks of St. Teresa.
– Aranjuez: city of kings and gardens. Visit one of the most beautiful palace complexes in Europe. Nature activities, next to the Tagus River.
– Boadilla del Monte: Municipality with a rich architectural heritage. Do not forget to visit its historic center, Palacio del Infante Don Luis and its mountains of holm oaks.
– Cercedilla: Remains of the old Roman road, hiking trails, natural pools, gastronomy and history.

And if you dare to go a little further, Villanueva de los Infantes: a town full of architectural treasures. Declared a Historic-Artistic Monument since 1974, it is the most important representative of the Baroque and the Manchego Renaissance. Villa where Lope de Vega, origin of Don Quixote and last abode of Quevedo.

Summer vacations: the reward for all the working hours of the year. A dedication to spaces for corporate events, which we love and are passionated about, and that also wrap us, and moves us away from other chores …
It’s nothing new, the events industry is like that and we assume it. It is also true that the dynamics of this MICE market invite us to take a vacation in the summer months, especially August.

FAKE NEWS: Barcelona is motionless in August

I remember during an inspection visit for an event, in the space where I was working at the time, the Palacio de Congresos de Catalunya-Barcelona, ​​which, speaking with an English client, told me that she was wondering to make the site visit in August as all his acquaintances and colleagues told her that during that month all in Barcelona was closed, almost abandoned. The client saw in situ that it was not that much. It is true that there is less activity, but everything is running. The city no longer stops, it is more alive than ever, we open the terraces and greet the sea.

And that makes us consider the advantages of NOT taking vacations in August, when only part of the events sector is absent from the office.

Here are our 10 reasons:

1. Avoid the warm weather. We stayed in an air-conditioned space, seeing the sultry weather through the window and thanking us for not having to leave that confortable ambiance until later in the afternoon.
2. Getting around your city to go to see a space for events or do a message by car has no comparison: half-empty lanes to the red light. A luxury for a city like Barcelona with a fleet of 580,000 cars and 280,000 motorcycles.
3. Parking is also much easier. There are free blue areas in the city as there is greater rotation. However, the great time when the blue zone was not to be paid in August has been left behind. That was a luxury in Barcelona!
4. Those of us who work in August are spread with the festive atmosphere, with joy and “good vibes”, and we extrapolate it to our relationships with colleagues in the events industry. We have a more relaxed treatment, time to talk a little more about things that have nothing to do with events or spaces for events.
5. August gives us moments, time to invite colleagues from the MICE segment to visit our spaces or have a coffee to catch up on the news.
6. August is the month to place order in our workplace. And we mean both the physical space and all the folders and files we have on the computer about events, spaces, strategies, statistics … We will gain space!
7. The fresh air of the morning, the tranquility, the cool ambiance in the office, the few interruptions allow us to sit before that blank sheet to state our vision of the future: objectives to be achieved and how to achieve them.
8. And while others rest and have fun, we steal time from the time and get ready to tackle the month of September: events, spaces, workshops, visits, social networks, blog, updating our bbdd to have everyone informed upon your return. Ready to go!
9. We all know, August is the month in which we all travel for vacations, which implies higher rates in any service and agglomerations. Travel during other months of the year does not usually have this strong impact on rates.
10. If you stay in your city, you will live it differently. You will go out for dinner and share space with people from other places. You will see through their eyes and discover things that were in front of you and that you had never appreciated.

Have we convinced you? OuisellYou does not close on vacation, so among all of us we combine to enjoy these advantages of August Month and also live our well deserved vacation. We do half-half, and it works for us.

Happy Holidays. Happy work.

When October arrives, the days get shorter and the feeling that summer has finally ended and everything that goes with it, then, you realize what the good weather brings you. Every year I think I should take more advantage then and start working on the terraces. Then I remember the saying “until May 40, do not take off your coat”. This is the time to organize outdoor events.

As representatives of venues for events in the peninsula we work and have worked with places and hotels that have small, medium or large outdoor areas to host events. In Ouisellyou, we love these places because we allow a lot of creativity. It is true that it can be more important.

Organizing outdoor events is a challenge because we depend on multiple factors, some of them uncontrollable by us.

In this package would be wind, rain, cold or heat, mosquitoes / flies and any previous environmental factors that may have affected the terrain.

Our advice, from our own experience, is to have a Plan B always. In another order of things would be aspects closely related to the assembly of the event itself such as:

– Access to the event space for both attendees and staff involved in the assembly. It is essential to provide coordinates or specific location by mobile. The google addresses are not 100% reliable and from space we must facilitate the arrival and avoid any setbacks in this regard.

– Space for parking merchandise and assistants, either by car or coach. Fundamental to have a space for this purpose and ideally a person who can manage the entry and exit, as it happens that almost all do at once…

– Area for catering. We must always contemplate it, in fact if it does not exist we create it. The office is fundamental and must be incognito …

– Electric power. It is usually a “deal” for the production part. In this case, Plan B must also always be considered, a support generator that can respond in the event of an electrical fall and that can supply the necessary power for all needs (furnaces, sound, lighting).

– Time zone. The start and end time of the event must be agreed between the space and the client. In many cases, and despite being outdoors, the space has a time limit of use and, what is more important, has a maximum time of acoustic emission. This time must be clear to all: space-organizer-final client, because there is always someone for whom the concert or session of dj ends too soon …

– Bathrooms. Also a challenge for many spaces that do not have enough or are only inside.

Always value the number of attendees, the type of event and adjust the services. And there are many more such as the exterior furniture, the type of restoration service to be carried out, the necessary decoration, the arrangement according to areas etc.

Ouisellyou helps you raise outdoor events in your spaces.

La entrada Outdoor events: what you should keep in mind aparece primero en OuiSellYou.

Our experience with the venues, from a point of view of advice and commercial representation, and venues, from our branch of space management, leads us to a clear and evident premise: When choosing and / or proposing a venue it is essential to have a detailed briefing of the needs and the objective of the event.

Something that seems so obvious in other industries, such as the world of advertising, has taken a while to reach our sector in a general way. Even today venues or intermediaries must insist on obtaining as much information as possible.

It is essential both for the event organizers and for us, representatives of spaces for events, to be able to compile a map of needs in order to start up our space filter.

Main points of an event’s briefing

It is essential both for those who help to find the best space for the event and for those who manage spaces to know details such as:

– Ideal location of the space that should host the event. It is clear that a brand pop up or an event that seeks to reach a young and adolescent public needs a central and well communicated space. Let’s forget about spectacular venues in nature for example

– Dimensions. There is a phrase that we love and that is real like life itself: “If space is small we can not stretch it but if it is big we can do many things to diminish it”. In this sense it is interesting to be advised by the managers of the space that will indicate how they resolved this situation in past events and also by our production team that by decoration and lighting can always reduce a venue.

– Budget. Knowing the number that the client is willing to invest in a space for that event prevents us from making proposals or considering spaces that will be discarded in the first round. Time is still gold for everyone.

– Priority reservation of the space and creation of the event with the in-house team. The sooner the better, we already know about our time. students, “Do not leave for the last day to study that they will not give you the hours …”

You sell them for events, we appreciate having enough time to make an attractive and very tailor-made proposal for each event. We like to be able to teach the space and contribute and propose ideas and means to add to the event.

– Assistants. An international who comes to our city for the first time will surely look for very representative spaces and perhaps more tourist or expected from our city. However, a repeat customer or a national customer will tend to choose a less popular space, representative of the city but less known. Knowing the nationality, age, if there are more men or women, the sector of activity, help us to develop a profile of assistants that will guide us in the proposal of spaces.

In short, all the information about the event helps to define the best venues for its realization.

Send us your briefing and Let’s work together!

The Cortal Avinyó is a modernist style farmhouse located in Castelló d’Empúries-Girona, in the heart of the Parc Natural dels Aiguamolls. Flanked by the landscape of the wetland, its flora and vegetation. It was built in different phases, the last work of the renowned modernist architect Josep Azemar i Pont (Figueres 1862 – Barcelona 1914).

This modernist farmhouse has warm and authentic exterior spaces and interiors for meetings and corporate events. It is an extension of 91 hectares that offers in its vicinity many scenarios for the realization of outdoor activities, as well as accommodation in exclusive rooms to stay in a quiet space in the middle of the natural landscape.

Outdoor activities with the work team increase employee motivation, increase team cohesion, mutual trust and communication, creativity and innovation at work.

Taking advantage of good weather, in Ouisellyou we propose a series of outdoor activities to do with your team at Cortal Avinyó:

Dj contest

The indoor spaces of Cortal Avinyó, as for exemple his Music Room, can be lovely scenarios for this proposal. The activity is based in making teams to reinforce the feeling of belonging, work together, encourage creativity … The objective of this contest is to create melodies and compete against the opposing team to achieve the best composition.

Creation of a lipdub 

All of the outdoor spaces of this venue can be a really good location for this performance. Creating the scripts of the sequences, rehearsing the choreography, deciding the props … in this way a corporate video would be made, in the most entertaining way.

Corporate Christmas events at companies are a celebration that is not usually missed when the end of the year approaches. Usually a meeting is organized, usually accompanied by a lunch or dinner, with the whole company, where a balance is made of the current year and the staff is encouraged to make the next one even better.

When it comes to organizing this type of event, there are certain aspects that we should consider. The first is to choose the best venue. A suitable space for the number of people called to the event and with options for the activities that we want to carry out. On the other hand, you should always give importance to the selection of catering that will be served, one of the most memorable factors of an event. The style and budget must be adapted to the company in question. The animation after dinner or lunch, read a dj, is not mandatory but attendees always appreciate being able to share a different moment with their classmates and the music invites them to do so.

In general, the ideal in this type of event is to bet on originality, fun and the surprise factor.

The key to your event is a success, among others, is to find the perfect place. That space in which, when entering, just like when you try to find your first floor to go live, you feel that it is exactly what you were looking for. A space that adapts to the event that you already have outlined in your head: high tables, views, platform for speech, etc …

OuiSellYou can help you find the best space for your event, avoiding having to do a time trial by land, sea and air. And we say against the clock because, although we have not yet opened the summer, companies should think about reserving their space for this celebration.

Start deciding if you want a restaurant in Las Ramblas, a private room in Paseo de Gracia, an Indian house 15 minutes from Barcelona, ​​a spa hotel in Aragon, a rural space somewhere in the Spanish geography …

Dedicate a few minutes to your Christmas event. We advise you.

Ouisellyou: 10 años en el sector MICE

We are celebrating!

Today, exactly 10 years ago, Laura and Neus joined in the “Madrid-Barcelona” restaurant in Aragón street to talk about what they wanted to be great … The two agreed that they wanted to dedicate themselves to something that fascinated them.

A few days before this meeting, a former director of the hotel where they had worked together, the great professional Sr. Reinhard Wall proposed them to market events oriented hotels, with which he was starting a project. He was interested in his experience and know-how in the MICE sector. These three hotels still did not have this market segment, it was the two hotels of the T3 chain of management at the Hotel Hilton Sa Torre de Mallorca and the Hilton Buenavista de Toledo, along with a wonderful resort in Portugal, the Bom Sucesso in Óbidos .

After lunch, they not only talked about the future, but also past and present, the two went home thinking the same thing: If this company needed their knowledge in the event sector, perhaps the they could need some more. ..

And so the embryo was created from what is now Ouisellyou. A few days later and sitting in a terrace in the neighborhood of Gràcia with his friend Yolanda Torres de Equipo Singular, with a handful of cats and improvising brainstorming the name OUISELLYOU . OUI: affirmative, positive, also allowed to play with its similar phonetic in English with the pronoun WE, us. SELL: sale or sales, what they are dedicated to and do, and YOU: to you, to you, to your clients.

He also became his leiv motiv: we sell you, we represent you in the field of events. From there everything was not “blowing and making bottles.” They worked hard and lived in first person what it means to have a company of their own, but they have also enjoyed working in everything that has relation with spaces for events, and the balance is always inclined towards continuity.

Of course, they thank those who trusted in their project from the start, managing T3 Hotels, the Boella Resort & amp; Hotel Magnolia, the Eivissa Conference Center, CCCB, Cultural Heritage Monuments of the Generalitat de Catalunya, Granollers MICE destination and so many other spaces for events that have been represented during these years and with those who collaborate in the news They are also grateful for the success of so many friends who gave them technical support and morally, to Pepe his manager and friend from the beginning, to Manel who designed their first website, to Mónica who accompanied them for a few years the office; La Mireia, Ariadna, her colleagues from Crea Congresos and much, very, very especially to her couples who have believed in them and have allowed them to maintain this project and, best of all, to be mothers at the same time.

A big hug to all!

Laura & Neus
