May Is National Nurses Month

And of all the appreciation months and days this is definitely one of our favorites. If the last few years have taught us anything it is how special, incredible and important our nurses are. We have tremendous gratitude for these tireless front-line workers and some of our favorite events of the past few years have been providing them with spa services. And we have found few people who appreciate indulgent mobile massages, manicures, and mini-facials more than hardworking nurses.

If you have a nurse or nurses you are looking to show some appreciation to this year we are here to help. Whether it is for individuals or groups, Primp Events brings everything to you. We set up for chair massages or skin and nail care at their home, office, or medical center and give them a wonderful, rejuvenating little escape in their day. Whether it is 10-20 minute (or longer!) chair massage to soothe overworked muscles or a pampering skin or nail treatment, they will come away from it knowing they are truly appreciated.

As they should be! They are truly a special group of people who do so much and expect so little in return. So this May, if you are looking to take care of the people who take care of us give us a call at Primp Events and we will show how we can set up lovely experiences for the nurses in your life.

Administrative Day

Here is one you do not want to mess up. Administrative Day. Look behind any successful person and you will find a great administrative person. They play such an important role in almost everything we do. And because we all know we would fall to pieces without them, we better make sure we keep them happy. After having provided onsite spa services over the years to Admins, we can assure you that an indulgent Primp chair massage, manicure, or mini-facial will do the trick.

We can set up an individual appointment or do a group event. Either way, we come to you and create a specialized experience with amazing, experienced service providers. Whether it is a 10-20 minute (or longer!) chair massage or a pampering skin or nail treatment, we give them a wonderful, rejuvenating little escape in their day. And it is not the massage or the manicure, it is the feeling they give you that stays with you for a long after.  A feeling that lets them know what they mean to you.

So if you are looking for a great way honor Admin Day give us call and we will talk you through how we make this special day unforgettable for your Administrator. 

A Day to Remember: Celebrate Your Team with the help of Primp Events

Hello everyone.

It is that time of year again, Employee Appreciation Day. It is definitely one of our favorite days. We have been part of many of these days at many different kinds of companies and we love the looks on employees faces as they are being celebrated. They truly appreciate being appreciated. 

When companies show gratitude through actions, not just words, it speaks volumes. So when a company asks us to come help make their Employee Appreciation Day special we take that responsibility seriously. We tailor our mobile spa services to what will work best for each business and then bring them to life through a unique and wonderful experience for the employees. From stress-relieving chair massages to beautifying manicures and everything in between, our services are designed to leave your employees feeling yes valued, but also rejuvenated, and motivated. We like to think we help create a memorable day that will stay with employees for a lot more than a day, both in terms of how they feel about themselves and where they work. 

So if you are looking to create a special experience to let your employees know what they mean to you, we would be thrilled to help you do it. Together we can create a custom experience that is right for them, and you and your business. 

Celebrating Moments and Milestones in 2023

As we at Primp Events bid farewell to 2023, our hearts are filled with gratitude for a year of growth in every way. We love how our mobile salon and spa services bring smiles to people’s faces, and this year we did it for an incredible range of amazing businesses, brands and people.

There were new collaborations with iconic brands like Nike, Birkenstock, CoverGirl and Byrdie. We loved re-uniting with a wide range of great partners from Sally Beauty to PwC. New York Fashion Week was bigger, better and more exciting than ever. It is always a thrill to see our work at the shows. And there is nothing that puts a smile on our faces like getting to meet and service the women of Project Greenhope. 

The whirlwind that was 2023 was made possible by our rock star team. They are wonderfully talented, truly dedicated and simply just lovely people. They are what makes Primp unique, making every event and the experience of our clients special and memorable. With them by our side we are excited for what is ahead. 

So to our clients, collaborators, models, and everyone who allowed us to Primp up their moments, and to our fabulous team that made the magic happen, thank you for making 2023 an extraordinary year. We wish you all a happy and fabulous New Year. 

Birkenstock Event

If you have ever owned a pair of Birkenstock shoes, you know how amazing their shoes are. (And if you haven’t do yourself a favor!) They are an incredible company, too, so it is no surprise they recently had their IPO on the New York Stock Exchange. Our Team at PRIMP had the privilege of helping them celebrate this momentous occasion with a series of events around the city celebrating, what else? Foot well-being. 

They transformed two locations in the city, creating oases of holistic health. It was like stepping out of the city into a beautiful zen garden. A zen garden where you would find the most indulgent foot massages waiting for you courtesy of our awesome team. No surprise that people absolutely loved it! It was a really cool event and so great to collaborate with Birkenstock with our onsite spa services. It was one of the best examples of the special experiences we can create when a company brings us in early and we work closely together on all the details. 

Congratulations to Birkenstock on this fantastic milestone and we would love to help you with your event. Even if you are just thinking about an event, give us a call and we will share our thoughts on how together we can make it an extraordinary event that your guests will love.

Making Tenants Smile: How Company Incentives Transform NYC Buildings

Imagine this, you walk into your office or apartment building and instead of a pile of work or a pile of mail, there is a Chair Massage Therapist waiting to greet you. Or maybe it is a Manicurist, either way, they are waiting to give a complimentary service and make your day. Many tenants do not have to imagine it. More than ever landlords are embracing creative ways like these to make tenants feel special and appreciated, relaxed and beautiful.

The power of these on-premise spa events was on full display during a recent collaboration we had with a major New York City commercial landlord. We set up hand and chair massage stations and made them available to tenants throughout the day. They loved it! There was a huge turnout, a lot of happy faces, and a massive wave of positive feedback and sentiment for building management.

At a time when our city has faced its share of challenges that have tested the resiliency of New Yorkers, a little act of kindness on the part of landlords can go a very long way. A well-crafted experience goes beyond just putting a smile on tenants' faces it makes them feel appreciated. It transforms apartments and offices into places where people feel valued.

Something else that’s cool about these events, they are for everyone from young professionals to families, to retirees. They bridge gaps between all the different kinds of people we spend our lives within feet of and create a sense of community. They forge little connections that remind us we are all in this together. The kind of connections that may make a tenant a little more likely to stick around.

In the end, it is all about the landlords who are willing to try something different. They are the ones turning buildings into more than just structures – they are creating spaces where happiness lives.

Treat your Team

In today's fast-paced and competitive world, organizations are always on the lookout for innovative ways to enhance employee well-being, motivation, and productivity. We, at Primp Events, have helped many companies successfully do this with our Spa Events. These events, such as on-site mobile chair massages, hand massages, or manicures, bring many benefits that can rejuvenate your team and infuse the office with renewed energy.

Providing employees with a chance to indulge in some pampering with professional spa services has several outsized benefits. You might be amazed at the good a simple manicure or massage can do. It is a great way for your employees to relax and de-stress. It can help them look and feel good about themselves. And it lets them know they are appreciated and valued. That is not just good for them, it is good for business. As you know a happy employee is a more productive and reliable employee. And if you are a company that is looking to get employees back in the office, spa services are a great inducement!

Another benefit is that it is so simple. At Primp Events we take care of everything. We bring a team of talented, experienced professionals and all the necessary supplies to your office or any location. We will also help you organize it and make sure every employee gets the service they want and has a great experience. There is really nothing like it when it comes to an easy way to give your employees a morale boost and bring some positivity to the office. Enjoy!

BIC New Razor Launch Event!

It is always exciting to be a part of a new product launch. It is even more exciting when it is with an actress from one of your favorite shows, Annie Murphy (Alexis!) of Schitt’s Creek, and a hilarious comedian, Eric Andre. That was the case recently when we were asked to help BIC launch a very cool new razor, the EasyRinse, at the IronVenue in New York City. It was a really fun event with the space decked out to resemble a shower and Annie and Andre keeping things lively. The event was open to the public and packed. Guests could receive a complimentary leg arm, face, or neck shave and went home with a great custom-initialed gift bag including Bic’s new EasyRinse razor of course. Check them out, great shave, and no more razor clog!

Teacher Appreciation Week

How often have you looked at all that a teacher does and said “That is the hardest job!” I know I have many times. Teachers are truly incredible. They possess such an amazing combination of dedication, patience, compassion, and caring. And of course, they play such a vital role in the growth and development of our children. It is one of those jobs like law enforcement, firemen, and nurses, where I feel like the people give a lot more than they get. So without a doubt, an appreciation week is the least we can do for our wonderful teachers. 

We have done several Teacher Appreciation events over the years and it is one of my favorite kinds of events we do. We will set up shop in a room and offer a variety of mobile services like manicures, hand massages, or chair massages. The teachers will come in when they can and get a service. It makes for a really relaxing, rejuvenating break in their often busy, stress-filled day. The best part of the day is how much the teachers appreciate being appreciated. 

So to all the teachers out there from everyone here at Primp Events, an enormous thank you to you and everything you do. Happy Teacher Appreciation Week!

NYFW

We provide mobile spa services for a wide range of clients from schools and hospitals, to film and TV, to fortune 500 companies throughout New York. One quintessential New York experience for us was working at Fashion Week for a major brand.

We were asked to show up at the theater pre-sunrise for a 3 pm show. When we walked through the door there was already lots of activity with the crew setting up the stage and lighting. We were then led downstairs and through a set of doors where we were greeted with an explosion of models, hair stylists, makeup artists, producers, and photographers mixing, mingling, and working. The place was rocking! It was electric and exciting and let's just say I did not need coffee that morning. Within minutes we were part of it and spent the next six hours helping each model get ready for the show.

Just as the show was about to start, I scampered off to find a good place to watch. It was magical. All these stunning women with hair two feet above their heads walk the celebrity-lined runway with great music blasting and fantastic lights sparkling above. And then in two minutes, the show was over. And I will tell you what, it was an amazing two minutes that I will always remember.

Valentine's Day Special Gift

Valentine's Day is the perfect time to show your loved ones how much you care. While chocolates, flowers, and jewelry are always a nice gesture, consider something a little more unique and indulgent this year.

Mobile Spa services are a luxurious and relaxing way to treat your loved ones without having to step outside. From Facials to Manicures and Pedicure services, there are many different on-location spa services available to choose from. Mobile Chair massage services are popular and performed while you are seated in a specially designed chair. This type of massage is perfect for people who have limited time or mobility, and it is a great way to give your loved one a mini-vacation from the stresses of daily life. Continue to pamper your darling with manicures and pedicures! Not only will they look and feel great, but having a manicure and pedicure can also improve the health of their nails.

And lastly, enhance their natural features and achieve a desired look with make-up and hair services. A professional makeup artist can help to create a flawless look following the latest trends and styles. You can arrange for all the mobile services together, or separately. Either way, your loved one is sure to appreciate the thought and care that you put into their gift. Love is in the air, and all relaxed and beautiful, you are now ready for a special Valentine's Day dinner!

Professional Athlete Footcare Event!

Most people think of pedicures as a beauty treatment but they are a lot more than that. Recently, a men’s professional sports team engaged us to perform pedicures for their players and it made all the sense in the world. Teams invest so much money in their players, and their feet are a big part of that investment. Almost everything they, or any athlete does — running, jumping, pivoting, dodging — starts with their feet. So keeping them healthy is essential and pedicures are a great way to do it.

We have to admit we were pretty amazed at some of the feet we saw. First their size, up to size 17!!! But also how neglected they were. Dead and dry skin, overgrown toenails, and lots of wear and tear from the pounding they take. Pedicures were just what they needed. A relaxing pedicure included soaking the feet in warm water, exfoliating dead skin, cutting and shaping nails, and moisturizing skin. There was also massaging of the leg and foot which helped improve circulation, reduce foot pain, and relax muscles. It can also help athletes’ feet recover faster after a workout or game.

The men loved their pedicures and you could see they really noticed the difference. Especially for them, who compete at such a high level, taking good care of their feet is so important. But also for any athlete who wants to perform at their peak, pedicures are a simple way to keep your feet in top condition and avoid potential issues. And yes, they do keep your feet beautiful, too.

Northwell Hospital Event

For the past 12 years, we have worked with an amazing range of clients from major brands to small start ups. One  experience that had special meaning was working alongside Northwell Hospital in showing their gratitude to thousands of their staff whose heroic efforts over the last few years have been remarkable. We activated two mobile salon and spa pop-ups trucks across their network with on-site spa booths where everyone could enjoy services like manicures, haircuts and chair massages. Over three weeks, we traveled to 26 hospitals, in 26 cities performing thousands of services. It was truly an honor helping Northwell do something extraordinary for their staff and a blast seeing the smiles it brought to their faces.

CDI, LLC tech summit with special guest Molly Bloom!

If you were fortunate enough to be at the CDI, LLC tech summit in NYC recently, you got to hear a fantastic talk from guest speaker, entrepreneur Molly Bloom of "Molly's Game” and you also got to enjoy some wonderful mobile spa services from Primp Events. We were asked to come in, set a great tone, and help make it a really special day for everyone. Guests were able to partake in stunning makeovers, relaxing chair massages, and gorgeous manicures or hand massages. The services were a huge hit! And a great prelude to Molly’s inspiring talk. The chair massages help you unwind and forget about the stresses in your life and manicures and make-up leave you feeling great about yourself. All in all it made for a really enjoyable and memorable day for all who attended.

Some benefits of adding spa services to your recruiting events.

We recently had the pleasure of helping Price Waterhouse Coopers (PwC) with a recruiting event. We brought in chair massages, manicures, and hand massages to help their candidates feel relaxed and welcome as they learned about PwC and got to know other potential candidates. Everyone loved the services and more importantly they set a great tone and made for a comfortable atmosphere where it was easy for people to engage with each other. The result was lots of great dialogue between the candidates, the recruiters and the PwC team members who were there to talk about their experiences at the company. As we all know company culture is a very important consideration and every candidate left that day with a positive feeling about PwC, not to mention some loose backs and pretty nails.
