Event planner trend? Of course, #eventplanner may not be the top hashtag of the day, but I bet if you’re trying to plan a big event, you’ll be looking for an awesome event planner.
Event Planner Trends –
These are essential elements of planning your event, and your event planner will need you to have these details in place before they are incorporated:
- Specific purpose of the event and what outcome you want at the end.
- Limitations such as budget, time, travel for destination events.
- Size, number of people, food options and entertainment options.
These three items are likely to be non-negotiable. And you’ll need to be aware of any possible changes before you hire your event planner. Start with these details and begin laying out the basic plan before contacting the planner.
Event structuring options –
Who will be helping? Do you already have a team on board? Most business events have speakers aligned within the company, or specific to their purpose. You’ll want to share this information with your event planner. Know who is in charge of these items and tell your career planner who they will be working with at the company.
- Food planning and decisions.
- entertainment decisions.
- Travel planning and organization.
- Definitive location, destination for events.
- Emergency team. Know who to call in an emergency.
Be sure to delegate responsibilities and get everyone involved.
Marketing your event –
If your event is more than company-wide, you’ll want a larger marketing team, but here’s a list of the basics for marketing and attracting company attendance.
- Design your marketing plan.
- Define the benefits of attending your event.
- Decide on media options (social media is ALWAYS good).
- Onboard company bloggers.
- Determine which #eventplannertrending hashtags should represent your event.
- Configure logging options.
- Simplify registration and payment with online options.
- Get YouTube videos of all the speakers. Fragments for sale.
- Splash entertainment on ALL social networks.
- Increase word of mouth marketing by giving them something to talk about. Keywords and phrases matter.
Sure, you’ll be ready to capture an audience on the big day, but your audience should already be excited, thrilled to attend, long before the event. If you’ve done your job as a business, your event planner will have access to all the relevant information and your marketers will have created quite a stir.
Bringing great entertainment to your business is an absolute MUST. Your planner should know who is hot and popular right now and be ready with a huge selection of big name artists, bands and artists ready to cater to your needs.
