Open Houses and Running Calls

[dperone]

 

 

We turned 70 years old this year and are planning a customer appreciation/ open house to celebrate. I was wondering if anyone else ever did one and if so what activities did you have; i.e. wrecker demos, touch a truck, food, music, etc. Also, how did you guys handle running calls? Did you take only emergent calls and decline all the rest or have a skeleton crew try to handle everything? Any comments will be appreciated.

You might break the time of the event into segments and have only certain drivers run during their slot, that way everyone can participate in the event. That is a big milestone, congrats.

For activities, BBQ competition between customers with trophies as well as bragging rights, car show, toy drive for Christmas, maybe raffle off a car or two.

Congrats! A demo for a hour maybe set up a few wrecks, winch outs, and rollovers. For calls a skeleton shift running what you choose or just handle only pd and emergency calls with a rotation of crew. A bbq or food buffet yeah, some tunes sure depends on how big also of a turnout think you will have. A nice thing to bring the community out.
