When most people think of company events, they picture warm summer picnics, outdoor team-building activities, or holiday parties at the end of the year. But January—a month often overlooked—is actually one of the best months to plan a company event—and one of the smartest times to secure your event rentals and equipment for the year ahead. Whether you’re organizing a corporate kickoff event, team-building session, training seminar, or company celebration, January offers unique advantages that can make your event smoother, more successful, and more cost-effective.
Here’s why January deserves a top spot in your event planning calendar.
1. A Fresh Start (and a Motivated Team!)
January is all about renewed focus. Employees return from the holidays recharged, energized, and ready to engage. Hosting an event early in the year is a great way to:
- Re-energize employees after the holidays
- Set goals for the year ahead
- Strengthen team culture after a busy holiday season
- Reinforce your company’s vision
- Boost morale
A corporate event early in the year keeps everyone aligned and motivated—making January one of the best months for company kickoff meetings and team-building events. An early event becomes a momentum-builder that fuels productivity for months to come.
2. Better Availability for Event Rentals and Venues
Spring and summer are prime seasons for weddings, festivals, and corporate events. That means:
- Venues book up quickly
- Popular event rental equipment becomes limited
- Prices can rise due to demand
But in January?
You get first pick of everything—from tent rentals and tables and chairs, to staging, lighting, and corporate event equipment. You have more options, less competition, and the flexibility to choose exactly what you want.
3. Perfect Timing for Corporate Training & Kickoff Meetings
Many companies use January to align their teams and roll out new strategies. If your business is planning:
- Company training events
- Quarterly planning sessions
- Sales kickoffs
- Product launches
- Executive retreats
- Employee or client appreciation events
Without the busyness of peak event season, companies can host events that are focused, productive, and stress-free. Doing it early helps ensure everyone starts the year on the same page—with clarity and excitement.
4. Budget-Friendly Timing for Event Planning
January is often the start of a new fiscal year, which makes budgeting for corporate events easier and more transparent. It also means:
- Better pricing
- Access to early-year promotions
- More personalized service from vendors
- Opportunity to book equipment for the entire year
Companies looking to maximize their event rental budget will find January an ideal time to plan ahead. Plus, January is often a quieter month for vendors—meaning you may benefit from greater flexibility and personalized service.
5. Create an Unforgettable Start to the Year
A January event sends a clear message:
Your people matter, and the year ahead matters.
Whether it’s an employee appreciation luncheon, a company milestone celebration, or a community event, hosting something uplifting in January helps your team feel valued right from the start.
A positive, well-planned event sets the tone for an entire year of collaboration, creativity, and company pride.
