Corporate events reflect your company image

Setting up corporate events for your company can greatly help your company image. For example, it will increase the reputation of your company and even bring forth new employees or customers. Depending on what kind of company you have, you double your sales, and bring in more interested customers. You'd be surprised by how powerful corporate can be, especially when it is in person. People are more likely to buy or check some of the services that you have to offer them. Today  we have put together some tips on how to start a corporate event.

The Importance of throwing a successful event for your company For those who want to throw an event for the company, there are a few things you need to do before this. For example, in order to have a successful event, you must carefully plan out the location of the place, what types of products will be offered, how to gain the attention of the public, informational materials, and so on.

Here are a few tips for you:

Set up a location for your corporate event. Make sure it is an easy to find place. If people aren't able to find it, they may give up and go back home. The location should have enough parking available around the area and not be too crowded.

Use company brochures to pass out to people. You want them to learn more about what your company does. This is called raising reputation. They might even share the brochure with some friends or business associates.

One of the most powerful ways to lead a corporate event is by setting up a conference. Don't just set up any conference. Add a Powerpoint projection or a video which explains your company. Visualization automatically gets people interested and you might even have a few customers buying or purchasing your products.

Studio light question

I'm looking to get some studio lights. I'm thinking about starting with umbrellas because they are so much cheaper than the soft-boxes, although I hear that the umbrellas ribs can be visible in the pictures. I'm thinking about the continuous lights set up. Again, because it's the least expansive option. But I want to know what wattage would be sufficient? I saw a two piece set with two 350 Watts bulbs. Would 700 watts be enough to shoot at f/16, 1/200 second?

Controlling light with an umbrella is like herding cats. They spill light everywhere. So many people start with umbrellas only to buy better equipment after suffering with lousy equipment; thereby spending more and producing poor photos until they realize the source of their inability to produce the lighting they pre-visualize. It's a tragedy I've seen repeated many times. I'm sure 700 watts will be sufficient to shoot at f16 and 1/200, but at some ridiculously high ISO.

I don't have a lot of room for a dedicated photo studio, so the convenience of being able to fold up an umbrella and stick it in the corner works better that a big soft box for me. You can see the ribs, but only on highly reflective subjects:
