Chinese New Year is celebrated in China and a large portion of
the eastern world. The event marks the beginning of the new Chinese
calendar, which operates on a lunisolar basis, not only telling the
date, but also the phase of the moon, hence the later celebration, as it
also marks the beginning of the New Lunar Year. In the UK more and more
people are beginning to celebrate the occasion, with cities around the
country holding events for locals to come and see and get involved in.
For businesses there is a large significance to Chinese New Year. Businesses in China are expected to have paid off all of their debt by the date, this also extends to debts of gratitude, and often gifts of rice are sent to close business associates or customers. Employees are awarded with bonuses for their hard work in the previous year, and are given red envelopes with their bonus inside, the red envelope being a link back to the traditional belief of the origin of Chinese New Year.
In the UK, businesses will be taking a slightly different approach to Chinese New Year, and instead of giving out bonuses or sending rice to close business associates, clubs and other companies will be organising themed nights out for people to come to. Whilst the events occurring in the day are still relatively small, the nightlife of the UK will always be more appealing, especially to a younger age group, meaning businesses stand a better chance of securing more money and sales from an occasion if they hold an evening event in honour of it.
For any business looking to hold an event for Chinese New Year, setting up the proper decorations is essential, otherwise people may feel cheated by the event and won't want to stay for very long, which will cost a business money. Events equipment companies are a huge help to businesses when it comes to organising themed nights, and they can create anything, from a traditional Chinese tea shop to a miniature Chinatown for people to dance through with their friends and others.
Since Chinese New Year isn't a national holiday in the UK, businesses will still be operating over the date, unless they have a special rule put in place. Some companies may be running a special lunch or conference event for those in their sector, and might also want to put on a Chinese theme for the event to help them put everyone at ease and network with them in a friendly environment. Event equipment suppliers can help businesses arrange these events and set up all of the equipment necessary for it to become the themed area that they want their customers to see. These suppliers often arrange for the equipment to be dismantled as well, meaning a business can let them do all the work while they arrange other aspects of the night.
