Note from the author:
We were asked to submit an event proposal sample for a cosmetics company. We've got three options: Thank you Party, New Product Launch, or a Training for Managers/ Staff. I have chosen a Product Launch and have made up a company called Cindy Cruz ©, who would be launching a new palette called All Seasons. This is only a sample and I have yet to know my score for this assignment.

Recommendations:

Among the above three venues, the Annex is the most suitable venue for our product launch. The cost is HK$200 per head which is total to HK$26,000 for 130 people. It’s the same price as Lightstage Art but offers more benefits and amenities. Espace can also offer almost the same facilities but at a higher cost.

The Annex also has the following advantages:

  1. For 120 people to attend the product launch, it provides more than enough space and flexibility;
  2. An underground parking is available with 150 bays. Attendees can park their car if necessary;
  3. It is complete with facilities catering for 120 people such as enough washroom for men and women;
  4. Different types of lighting effects and sound equipments are available;
  5. All three venues required deposit, but The Annex offers a better cancellation policy with only 50% of the full amount still refundable.
