3 Ways to Use Searchie for Holiday Fun
I spend my days helping entrepreneurs harness the power of Searchie to offer top-notch online courses, memberships, and coaching programs. There’s hardly a business out there that Searchie isn’t a good fit for!
My neighbor has started installing his 50+ blow ups on his lawn so I know the holiday season is near! It got me thinking…I can see how Searchie can make the season easier, more memorable and fun, and—dare I say—safer.
In fact, playing with Searchie for holiday fun can be a great way of getting to know this user-friendly, versatile tool!
Here are 3 of the many ways that you can have fun with Searchie during the holidays:
Use Searchie for School Events
Whether it’s dancing kindergarten snowflakes, award ceremonies, or a fall sports highlights program instead of an end of the season party, have parents, teachers, and coaches drop their video recordings into a Google Drive or Dropbox that would then connect to Searchie. You can then organize different Searchie Playlists for specific classes, grades, or teams—or make a Searchie Hub for each group!
You can use Canva to design the Searchie Hub in your school colors or with seasonal images and you can insert the school logo or seasonal icons for a branded, themed experience.
2. Use Searchie for Surprise Cameos
A party’s not a party without unexpected moments of joy. If you have beloved out of towners that can’t be there in person, ask them to record a short video and then drop it inside of a Searchie Hub as a little surprise for your guests. You can give this surprise a big impact by broadcasting it on the TV using Bluetooth or some HDMI cables.
You could use a tool called VideoAsk for people to be able to easily pass along their video or audio recording to you.
There's nothing like the look on grandma's face when she sees her granddaughter from the other side of the globe asking her if that's her second glass of wine. Maybe your virtual guests can submit recordings of them saying a prayer, playing a song on the piano, or reciting a funny poem. Keep it short and fun!
If you put these recordings into a Hub, it also becomes a memento of the occasion.
3. Use Searchie to Collect Memories and Stories
The holidays are a mess of parties, end-of-the-year celebrations, birthdays, school events, new babies and other gatherings—it becomes a blur. If you’re hosting an event, you can set up a video area (or, again, use VideoAsk) and ask your loved ones to record their messages. What will they record? It's up to you. They could sing, make a wish for the new year, tell a story about something they learned in 2022...endless possibilities. Do you remember that time when Uncle Pat...
After the party, upload the videos to Searchie and create a special Hub for you and your guests to access. Searchie has privacy settings, so you can keep it all in the family, team, or the people on the guestlist.
