ABCey’s Top 5 Entrance Ideas for Your Next Event!
How your attendees enter your event can instantly create the “wow” factor before the event event starts! ABCey Events provides insight on ways truly make an entrance.
1.Use Projection Mapping
Tunnels are a great way to create a transition from the outside world to your event. Utilizing projection mapping and audio in a tunnel can really get people in the mindset to focus on whats coming up!
2.Create an Archway
Archways offer a huge branding opportunity to kick off your event! The sheer size will grab your attendees attention!
3.Get Interactive
Use the entrance as a chance to have guests immediately get interactive! Create a quick and fun activity to get people having fun ASAP!
4.Have a Photo Op
Create a photo opportunity guests can’t miss! This will also help your event have a social media presence as guests can post their pictures to all their social media accounts!
5.Have Greeters
Instantly pump people up by having greeters at the entrance either offering them a cocktail or party gift!
Making a statement from the beginning to end of an event is always one of our goals! Having a stellar entrance definitely a must!

ABCey’s Startup Monday: Zendesk
Startup Monday showcases companies and the Bay Area that we think are awesome! This week we highlight Zendesk, a company that helps other companies understand and aid their customers better!
More Info:
Zendesk was started in a Copenhagen loft by three friends who used an old kitchen door as a desk. They wanted to bring a “bit of zen” to the chaotic world of customer support. And, they wanted to do it with software that was nice to look at and easy to use.
Zendesk helps companies have better communication and relationships with their customers. They also help businesses understand those customers better. Most noteworthy is their support system! The system involves a team of experts that can be reached around the world via email, phone and chat! Another great tool offered is their customer analytics. This allows companies to predict what would help lead to higher customer satisfaction as well evaluate performance.
We love that how they create solid relationships between businesses and their customers, because we love doing the same with our clients!

ABCey’s Startup Monday: Opendoor
Startup Monday is ABCey’s weekly post that features some of the best and brightest companies in the Bay Area. They are often companies that we have our eye on, or have worked with in the past & would like to share with friends and followers of ABCey Events! Today’s Startup Monday highlights Opendoor, a site that allows you to buy and sell houses online!
Opendoor
We know buy and selling a home can be a very stressful event! Opendoor makes the process a whole lot easier by handling most of the details online! We love how simple the site makes finding your dream home.
How it Works
Selling a home has never been this simple! Once you create a free online account you can enter in information about your home and get started. Once an offer is received and accepted, sellers select a home inspection date. Closing dates are then selected on the website and Opendoor handles paperwork and escrow.
Buying your next home is also possible on Opendoor. Search for houses in your area and also get a sneak peak of houses that will be hitting the market soon. The company will also help you find a lender if needed. Once you’re ready, make an offer online. Opendoor also has an app so you can look at houses on the go!
We love that Opendoor provides 100% transparency during the whole process.
