How do you set goals and how do you measure goals?

In the creatively expressive offices of A Hot Party, goals are constantly being envisioned, time-lined, and regularly checked upon to make sure our goals are met & often exceeded.  To adapt to the seasonal nature of the event business, A Hot Party typically works with quarterly-structured goals  This gives A Hot Party a framework to stay ahead of the game by always planning the next quarter’s strategic moves.  A Hot Party’s ability to envision & push new goals to production is the reason for its rapid growth over the last few years. Two main factors that have helped this process are “The Idea Board,” and “The Mission Shelf.” 

The Idea Board is a tool in which many metaphorical ‘light-bulbs’ are turned into structured goals with an analysis of cost & benefit.  If an idea is deemed valuable to the growth of the company, that concept is then moved into its own binder on “The Mission Shelf.”

The Mission Shelf is a literal ‘shelf’ in the President’s open-door office that holds a constant flow of great plans.  Once committed to a binder, each plan is analyzed by the advisory board to develop a finite action-plan, including stages to completion, helpful resources, and expected results.  Once a goal has been analyzed & broken down into small achievable action-plans with a number of helpful resources , there is no reason it should not be actualized.

What makes your company, product or service unique?

“Unique” is A Hot Party’s number one selling point!  A Hot Party creates one-of-a-kind event experiences by first listening to and understanding everything about our client’s desires, personality & budget. The professionals at A Hot Party then design an entertainment program that stimulates as many of the client’s senses & emotions as possible.  Everything the audience hears, sees, tastes, smells and touches transcend them into a fictional world of fun!

Specifically, A Hot Party’s ‘Product-of-the-Year’, is a unique & fully custom Casino Themed Event!  Under the leadership of Spencer Kramer, A Hot Party has truly reinvented the classic “Casino Night” into a wildly fun & interactive experience that engages guests on a more personal level than ever before.  With an array of strolling themed-characters including, but not limited to, Stilt-Walking Elvis, ‘Living Tables’, Illusionists, Swing & Cigar Girls and personally trained casino dealers whose mission is to “entertain” rather than just deal cards, A Hot Party keeps an event roaring with laughter & applause! A few other unique elements included in A Hot Party’s CASINO NIGHT include:

 Green-Screen software digitally superimposing partygoers IN Vegas before printing custom keepsakes.

Custom branded poker-chips, playing-cards, table-felts, slots & more for Corporate Sponsorships.

Custom branded Video Horse Races with LIVE Race-Announcer to entertain up to 1,000 people at once.

Large ostrich-feather centerpiece-trees with colorful up-lighting to change the mood of any space.

A Hot Party’s ability to seamlessly bring an event together with such great entertainment value for their clients is what makes their team such a sought after commodity. It’s  A Hot Party’s relentless commitment to client service that keeps its family of clients coming back year after year.

What is your company's and your personal community involvement?

A Hot Party was honored to boast over $20,000 in direct contributions to philanthropic events in South Florida. As a professional emcee, motivator & auctioneer, Spencer Kramer graciously offers his talents to any local non-profit organization 100% Complimentary!  Community involvement is very important to A Hot Party. It has developed a guide called “Fundraising 101,” which gives non-profits a framework to organize, evaluate & delegate opportunities in fundraising.  A Hot Party’s inspiration & expertise in the realm of fundraising has surely made an impact on the local community. The Kramer family is honored to have helped raise well over $1,000,000.00 for deserving causes! 

Due to pre-existing commitments, Kramer was unable to accept the nomination of ‘Man-of-the-Year’ by the Leukemia & Lymphoma Foundation’s annual fundraising competition between the ‘movers-&-shakers’ of South Florida. Kramer has however re-scheduled this opportunity into his 2012 plan.

Hi, Spencer!

Its Monique Calhoun. I wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart for the totally rockin’ party you and your Photobooth / Magician provided for our twin daughters last Saturday. Wow! You guys could not have done a better job! It was perfect!

I hope you don’t mind, but we are keeping your number and e-mail as we now have the secret to a successful party – A Hot Party.com!

Thank you again – the kids have gotten soooo much positive feedback (which is a little unusual because teenagers can be hard to please!)

I couldn’t believe all the attention the slot machine brought us.  At one point, there was a line of people all screaming “Come On  Kindred, Come On Kindred!”

I’m happy to know the custom slot is booked again for August 13^th, and can’t wait to hear our fans yelling for Kindred again!   Thanks Spencer for recommending the idea and making our last few trade-shows a blast.

This is a long time coming and I apologize it took this long, but I wanted to extend our thanks and appreciation for a great Holiday Party! Casino Night was a blast and my employees told me it was the best Holiday Party yet (and we have had some good parties). Your staff was professional, yet fun, and treated our employees and their guests great.

We will be sure to call you next year to do it again!

Again, thank you for a job well done!

Regards,

Eileen M. Niles

Working with you on entertainment ideas has been such a pleasure.  Thank you for your time & suggestions, prompt responses to emails (even when you were out of the country working on other events) and providing such quality entertainment.

We especially loved the interactive Salsa Dancers, Cigar Roller, Pianist, Horse-Races and Casino Games along with all the other activities you provided for our events.

I wish you the best with A HOT PARTY, and look forward to working with you in the future.

I just wanted to thank you again for your instrumental help in generating revenue for the Starlight Children’s Foundation. You did an outstanding job as Master of Ceremonies for the event, both capturing attention and swiftly presenting to a crowded room of over 300 guests.

We are extremely grateful for your passion & persistence in helping us sell-out every raffle ticket we had! With your promotion of Starlight, the monies raised that night will help us continue serving seriously ill children and their families with programs that educate and entertain.

Your creativity on the fly, and use of limited resources was very impressive, and we would gladly welcome you to M.C. any future event with the Starlight Children’s Foundation.   I see a very bright future ahead of you.

Sincerely,

Sasha Moon
