There are two primary choices in life: to accept conditions as they exist, or accept the responsibility for changing them

  • New openings

Only great teamwork based on precise rules and standards can guarantee the client’s full satisfaction and spark growth and success.

The ability to operate smoothly allows businesses to face every situation with flexibility and an open mind, every single day.

Events

Events

The organization of events is considered an important marketing and communication tool for companies of all sizes. From product launches to press conferences, companies create promotional events to connect with their audiences, the sales network, current and potential customers, the press and other interest groups.

Some companies are able to reach larger audiences by optimising the media coverage of the event. Some businesses invite their potential customers to their events in order to bring the end users into contact with their products or services. Events are often used to make marketing and advertising efforts tangible. Internally, these range from small meetings to large conferences.

At Welcape.ch we take care of defining tailor-made concepts according to the client’s objectives, identifying a target audience, finding the right setting, checking the budget, planning the logistics and all the necessary technical support. Without forgetting the post-event evaluation.
