Mixer Host Agreement

Please be able to accommodate 30-40 guests. Mixers will take place on agreed upon date between 5:30-7:30pm. Space should be available for set up at least 30mins prior to event start time.

Promotion should be started well ahead of the event. In order to achieve good attendance, the Lomita Chamber will promote the mixer on the Chamber’s website calendar and home page, in at least one eblast as well as 2-3 follow up event notifications via email and/or social media. We will also invite local dignitaries and City officials. We will provide you with an event registration link and/or appoint your business as a co-host on the Facebook event which you can also use to promote attendance. It is also important for you to spread the word to your current customer/client base. Host will have 2 free entrance passes to give to employees or preferred clients.

Please provide:

1 large table for appetizers/food

1 table for check-in (at entrance) and raffle prizes – the Chamber takes care of check-in and announcements (host is encouraged to contribute at least 1 raffle prize – another great marketing opportunity to get people back to your business!)

Parking Instructions:

If parking for your location could present a challenge due to restrictions, timing or concurrent events please include any applicable parking instructions.

The flow for the evening will be like this:

5:30 – 6:30pm – people mingling
6:30pm – we’ll make some quick announcements, thank you for being our gracious host, you can say a few words here, raffle prizes
6:45pm – more mingling/networking
7:30pm – that’s a wrap

Make It Fun

You want your guests to enjoy themselves, stay throughout the event, and associate your company with the mixer, so don’t think the evening has to be “all business.” Consider including entertainment, music, and door prizes, to put your guests in a great mood.

Remember It’s About Networking

Create an atmosphere that encourages mingling. Don’t place too many chairs and tables around; instead, make sure people are walking around, talking, and exchanging information. Include a table to display merchandise or brochures about your services and products. Finally, remember to keep it light and talk with as many guests as you can.
