Any time you are planning for an upcoming business trip, incorporating a few ideas to make it both fun and productive can help you to get more enjoyment out of any time spent working, regardless of where you are located, or your objectives for the day. Implementing a few tips and tricks to make your time spent on a business trip more fun and productive is a way for you to have more fun while still having the ability to maintain your work ethic at all times.

Have Fun With Your Presentation

Whenever you are required to host a business presentation for your company, incorporate plenty of graphics, visual aids and modern technology to have more fun and to make a lasting impression on potential clients or customers you want to work with professionally. If you are traveling with a business partner, rehearse and practice over dinner and drinks to help with loosening up, and boosting one another's confidence before the actual presentation itself.

Create Promotional Items

If you are planning to attend an upcoming business conference or trade show, consider making custom shirts, or giving away additional promotional items to those who visit your booth or take an interest in your brand and the products or services you are promoting. Giving away items such as corporate logo button down shirts is not only a way for you to promote your brand, but it also helps you to build a lasting impression on potential future customers or clients. You can also create additional promotional items ranging from custom tote bags, messenger bags, stationery and pens to piggy banks, key chains, and other office supplies to represent your brand.

Doodle Your Notes

When you are planning to attend a conference with presentations from other guests at an event you are at, doodle and draw your notes to have more fun while still staying productive throughout the day. Instead of writing traditional notes and jotting down facts that each keynote speaker presents at a conference, doodle each presentation individually to capture major moments and sections of the speeches you have heard.

Knowing how to make business trips more fun and productive is a way for you to get more out of the time and effort you put in to your job, and away from your family and loved ones each day. When you take time to have fun, even while working, it is a way for you to stay balanced and to avoid becoming overworked or burnt out.
