• Celebrating a corporate anniversary involves more than just accomplishing a certain milestone in terms of years of service. It is also a time to celebrate with those staff members and administrators who have had a hand in the company's success over a period of time, allowing the company to thrive and prosper. Corporate anniversary celebration themes run the gamut from more muted, conservative ideas to large, raucous blowouts.
  
  

Community Block Party

• Show your loyalty to the community in which you operate by throwing a community-wide block party. Choose an area of your city where people can easily gather, such as a downtown area or a popular community park, and offer space to various vendors, including street fare and craft businesses. Display plenty of signage thanking the community for the number of years it has dedicated to helping your business grow. Don't forget to provide live entertainment to lend a festive air to the event. This activity not only gives your employees an outlet to celebrate; it also brands your company as a community-friendly agency that appreciates the area in which it operates, even as you continue to grow.
  
  

Corporate Cruise

• Depending on the size of your company and the type of anniversary, take your staff on a cruise to thank them for their hard work and for getting your company as far as they have. If you are a smaller corporate entity, foot the bill for the trip; the word of mouth in terms of how well you treat your employees will go a long way in terms of recruiting. If you are a large corporate giant, pay a large-enough portion that the cruise is heavily discounted for employees. Again, the public relations for doing so will be priceless, and your employees will appreciate it enough to get you to the next milestone anniversary.
  
  

Sell-Abration

• According to BrandInfection.com, holding a "Sell-abration" lets you get the most out of marketing and advertising for your corporate anniversary. Take the celebration aspect of the anniversary, and turn it into savings for your customers. Institute special anniversary programs with discounts if you have a retail business; if yours is service-oriented, offer anniversary coupons or a "buy one, get one" offer to extend the reach of your business through this celebratory event.
