UNIQUE EVENTS WITH "LE CARROUSEL" AND HALM
Lea (HALM):
Hello Fabian, thank you for taking the time to answer a few questions about HALM. Are you happy with your HALM glass straws so far?
Fabian (Le Carrousel):
I work in the events industry, and I can say that the HALM straws have gone down very well with all of my clients so far. I have always added them to the drinks as a little highlight, and at business events with an engraving of the company name as well.
The sustainability effect is recognised straight away, of course, because we tell every guest that they can simply put the HALM in the cutlery basket and use it again and again. GOODBYE, PLASTIC STRAWS!
Wedding couples also love being able to offer HALM glass straws engraved with their wedding date. Guests are very happy to take them home as a memento of the big day.
“Fascination that lasts” is our slogan, and a HALM is an essential part of that: it always reminds you of the event, gets passed on to friends and family at home and is always a highlight because it tells a story.
Lea (HALM):
Are your staff just as happy with HALM as your guests are?
Fabian (Le Carrousel):
The team is just as passionate about it as I am 😊, because the images of plastic waste in the oceans are going around the world. With every event, we want to help prevent exactly that. At “Le Carrousel” it is HALM only now!
Lea (HALM):
And apart from the values behind it, how do your staff get on with the HALM glass straws in day-to-day work?
Fabian (Le Carrousel):
HALM glass straws are easy to clean. The dishwasher does all the work, and the straws look like new after every dishwasher cycle.
Lea (HALM):
At events with lots of guests, when things have to move very fast at times, there must have been some concerns about how sturdy HALM is, right?
Fabian (Le Carrousel):
At first, many people could not imagine that this glass can take a great deal and is more robust than any other glass straw. But its durability over many months and even years has proved them all wrong.
Lea (HALM):
I am very pleased that our product has proved itself under tough conditions. If so little breaks in use, how do you deal with the fact that guests take a glass straw home with them every now and then?
Fabian (Le Carrousel):
Guests are meant to take their HALM straws home! It sharpens everyone's environmental awareness and makes the case for using less and less plastic. It is also a great form of sustainable advertising for me. How else do you find your way into people's homes in such a lasting way, and with your own logo on top?
Lea (HALM):
Thank you, Fabian, for your great feedback. To finish, could you briefly sum up why Le Carrousel can no longer do without HALM glass straws?
Fabian (Le Carrousel):
First of all, the sustainability aspect is huge, and the figures on your website underline it! That is why you will find HALM at the bar at every future “Le Carrousel” event. I also get incredible feedback on how taste-neutral HALM is. I work with the best bartenders in Hamburg, and their feedback on HALM is, for example: “The delicate flavour of every single spice or herb reaches the tongue unaltered.” The senses are addressed exactly as the bartender intended.
Lea (HALM):
Thank you very much for the lovely conversation. Here's to continuing our great collaboration!
