Create Your Group
Create your own unique experience:
Entertain
and delight your clients, employees, organization, alumni group,
friends and family with a unique night out. Whether your group wants to
celebrate in grand style, socialize in an intimate setting, or simply
enjoy a musical experience together; share the evening and the music
and be rewarded! Many of our groups begin booking their tickets and
event space as early as January! Our advice – don’t wait! Your event
space is FREE – no cost to you – as long as you host your event the
night of a concert. Design your private reception with gourmet caterer
Aramark.
Creating a Group is Easy – Easy Tips for Planning A Successful Group Event:
How
do I create a group? It’s easy. Tell two friends, who tell two of their
friends, who tell four more. Before you know it – you’ve grown your
group, increased your savings and tripled you fun! Plan Early! The
earlier, the better. Allow yourself plenty of time to make arrangements
and to spread the word by encouraging people to place your special
event on their calendars. Order Early! The early bird gets the best
seats. The earlier you order, the better your seats, the more time you
have to plan. We don’t want you to be disappointed if a performance is
sold out! Call (713) 238-1435 today! Unsure of the number of people in
your group? Take a deep breath and smile. Often people think they have
to purchase the total amount of group tickets up front. We take that
pressure off of you. With a 20% deposit we will hold the amount of
tickets you think you might need. In the end, you only pay for what you
need, as long as you contact the Group Sales Department on the agreed
upon date. Ask us for help! We created an easy checklist for all our
Amazing Group Leaders! Still have questions – our friendly Group Sales
Specialists are just a phone call or email away.
How
do I grow my group and spread the word? We’ve discovered
the quickest ways to spread the word is by using today’s social media
and friends! Post your event on Facebook, Linked In and Twitter. Ask
your friends to do the same. Post on your corporate website, church
bulletins and schools. Post fliers wherever you find an empty wall!
Send out emails. Text your friends. Ask them to share with their
friends. Or better yet - use the old fashion form of communication –
pick up Alexander Graham Bell and phone your friends. It could offer
you a wonderful way to reconnect with old friends. Ask your
friends for help! People naturally like to help. Solicit enthusiastic
group members to help you promote. Getting help can make your event a
hugh success, which ultimately will save you time and money! Ask your
recruits to become a part of the experience. The day of your special
event ask a few of your members to greet guests as they arrive.
Capture Your Special Musical Moment and Win!
Our
best advice to those who raise their hands to become a Group Leader is
enjoy and remember! Enjoy the friendships you make along the way and
the memories that will remain with you for a lifetime! Capture your
pre-concert and post-concert moments on camera or video or write us a
short story, sharing what made your experience special. Please remember
no photography is permitted during a performance. A winner will be
chosen in each category. With your permission, your stories, photos and
video will be used in our 2011-2012 Group Sales Brochure, posted on our
website and included in one of our Houston Symphony program magazine.
