Team Wraps Up Fun for National Cellophane Day with Remote Crafts!
The marketing team at Everbloom Cosmetics was determined to make National Cellophane Day memorable, despite being a geographically dispersed team. Intern, Leo Maxwell, volunteered to lead the charge. His idea? A collaborative cellophane art workshop!
Initially, budget constraints loomed large. Everbloom’s event funds were already stretched, and shipping art supplies to everyone proved expensive. Then there was the hurdle of coordinating a live, engaging workshop across time zones. “It felt impossible,” Leo admitted. “How do we get everyone involved, feeling connected, when some are in offices, some are at home, and others are traveling?”
Luckily, Skedundee’s seamless Zoho setup came to the rescue. Leo utilized Zoho Sheets to create a detailed budget, tracking expenses and finding cost-effective art supply vendors. He then used Zoho Campaign to send out beautifully designed event invites with a link to a pre-event survey (Zoho Survey) to gauge skill levels and material preferences. To manage RSVPs and workshop scheduling, he integrated Zoho Bookings, offering multiple time slots to accommodate everyone.
The workshop itself was hosted via Zoho Meeting, with a live demonstration of cellophane art techniques. Leo used Zoho Cliq for real-time communication, providing support and answering questions. Remote participants shared their creations via screenshots, fostering a sense of camaraderie. Even the CEO, Amelia Hayes, joined the fun, proudly displaying her (slightly lopsided) cellophane flower. To keep the momentum going, Leo created a dedicated event page on Zoho Sites, showcasing everyone’s artwork and sharing tips. He even leveraged Zoho Social to promote the event and engage with customers!
“Zoho Books helped us track all the spending and stay within budget,” Leo explained. “And Zoho CRM allowed us to easily invite key customers to participate in a post-event online gallery showcase. The e-signing feature in Zoho Sign made it simple to get vendor contracts finalized quickly.”
Everbloom’s National Cellophane Day Day celebration proved that distance is no barrier to fun and connection. It was a vibrant testament to creativity, teamwork, and the power of technology.
