Bespoke Custom Events

First, think beyond the typical happy hour. Instead, we can create something that will dazzle your teams.

Simply come to us with your virtual event ideas, and our team will handle the planning and logistics!

For example, our online events include gorgeous gift boxes, gift cards, real-time virtual experiences, breakout sessions, world tours, and much more. Our focus is on a stellar attendee experience that meets your company’s unique goals.

Our team members love helping clients come up with unique virtual event ideas. We are radically creative and always building new programs.

But, if you need help thinking of something unique, start by thinking about your team:

• What do the people in your company like to do?
• What are your corporate values?
• Does your team get excited about sports? Or arts? Or nature?
• Who makes your team laugh?

Once you have thought through these questions, consider the return you hope to achieve from your event. Is this a team building event to foster connection and trust? Or, is this a client appreciation event to “wow” your VIPs?

These questions should help you come up with some potential theme ideas. Additionally, explore our Free Resource Guides for more team building ideas!

Research says: yes! Studies show that virtual team building events can boost employee engagement and satisfaction.

For instance, Gallup found that only 36% of the workforce is actively engaged. Furthermore, having a highly engaged team can boost profits by more than 20% while helping employees feel happier and more connected. Companies with a thriving corporate culture can see 4x higher revenue growth.

Virtual team building events are a way to help your team connect and build your corporate culture. For instance, Forbes recommends virtual team building events to keep remote and hybrid teams communicating and engaged while having fun.

Our standard event platforms are on Zoom. In general, we find that most people know how to use Zoom so there is minimal learning curve for new event apps. Further, research has shown that the best event experiences use simple and streamlined technology.

Prior to the event, we will send you an event website with everything your attendees will need to join the experience.

Live-streaming guides create another element of fun to a virtual event. By placing our engaging hosts in unique locations, your guests feel like they are in person.

We have guides located in Europe, Africa, and across the United States. They are all fun and knowledgeable hosts. In addition, all of them have a relationship to the location they are presenting.

The planning process begins with an in-depth discussion between your team and the Unexpected Virtual Tours team. In general, we want to identify your team’s goals, budget, and overall vision.

Then, our designer creates a unique custom box, brochure, and marketing materials.

A bespoke virtual event starts at $10,000.

The pricing varies based on event type, as well as items in the Treat Box.

The planning process takes at minimum 10 weeks from start to finish. We do not recommend less than 10 weeks.

First, the team will design a custom box and then order that box. After that, the team will work with you to create an event outline. Plus, the team will order unique products that will supplement the outline.

While your team is getting ready for the event and sending out invites, the guides will be practicing and perfecting the virtual experience.

Unexpected Virtual Tours designates a specific virtual event planner to help guide you through the custom event process.

That event planner will be available on-call via e-mail and phone. We generally ask for a four-hour response time since we may be working with other clients.

In addition, we always designate one preliminary one-hour meeting, as well as a pre-event run-through.

The Treat Boxes include a number of design elements. First, you’ll work with our designer to customize the exterior of the Treat Box.

Second, while the virtual event is being prepared, our designer will create a custom brochure.

Third, all of the Treat Box elements will be pulled together to create a complete hands-on experience that your guests will enjoy.

On our unique virtual events, custom Treat Boxes can be fun and delicious. For example, custom Treat Boxes can include food, games, and thematic items. For an additional fee, some customers choose to include beer or wine in their custom Treat Boxes.

We can ship anywhere between 10 to 500 Treat Boxes at a time.

In general, our maximum shipping amount is 500 Treat Boxes because we usually limit our virtual events to a max of 500 people. We have found optimal engagement with 500 guests.

Because our Treat Boxes are built in volume, any changes to the Treat Box would be an upcharge.

That being said, our boxes are generally vegetarian and include non-perishable items. The boxes may include items containing gluten or dairy.

Custom designed boxes require an order of 200 Treat Boxes.

For small groups who want custom items, a custom upgrade fee is required and then we will utilize standard boxes.

First, we work to provide an incredible attendee experience. While many think it’s not possible to throw a fun social event in the virtual space, we disagree.

A carefully planned virtual environment can increase engagement even beyond in-person events. We hope to work with you soon to host a virtual event.

On our unique virtual events, custom Treat Boxes can be fun and delicious. For example, custom Treat Boxes can include food, games, and thematic items. For an additional fee, some customers choose to include beer or wine in their custom Treat Boxes.

Professional performers host the virtual event. These performers utilize stories and games based on your company’s interests.

On our virtual experiences, we have three hosts. Plus, on custom events, we have a hospitality coordinator who manages people entering the Zoom room and ensuring that there are no technical difficulties.

Our staff ensures that we are able to create a seamless experience with minimal issues.

In general, we recommend starting promptly. Virtual guests do not like to be kept waiting. We suggest starting immediately at the start time with a 5-minute introduction.

During that introduction, guests will filter in.  Our hospitality coordinator will admit attendees throughout the event.
