    7 Practical Tips for Event Planning

    What makes a company event a success? The combination of a personal, interactive experience and a

    strong brand reference. This makes an event for the guest experience worth and success of a

    company.

    So the theory - but how is an event in practice to success? Here it is, think, design and structure. The

    preliminary work and planning is essential to lead such a complex project, such as an event a success.

    I have at my visit one of the Master Class Event Marketing Seminars learned. But of course that was not

    all. Among other things, the following seven tips for planning and implementation of events.

    1. The briefing - time, energy & save money

    Briefings are one of the most underrated components of an event planning. They not only save you time

    and hassle, and money. Because if everyone knows what is the goal of what you want out, the event is

    targeted, more effective and cheaper in the end. The briefing is an important guide for all those

    involved, and ensures effective use of your budget.

    What belongs in every Briefing: Audience: For whom? | Occasion: What? | Objectives: Why? |

    Date: When? | Destinantion & Location: Where? | Budget: How much? | Environment: What

    else? = Event Concept: How?

    2. Service Partner - Business Directories less, more recommendations

    Finding the right service partners is not easy. Finally, the technician, the caterer and / or the event

    agency the success of the event shape with crucial.

    But a business directory listing or website does not say much and always something about the

    reality. So also asks for recommendations and experiences of colleagues, look around at

    rankings and awards under completed projects. Also look in the press or on the internet who

    falls (positive) on? And do not leave alone on references cited.

    Another tip: Tight budget? Sponsors & Partners are looking for!

    If the budget is limited or the quality to be ratcheted up as inexpensively as possible, you can

    sometimes work with partners and sponsors. The classics are drinks sponsors, giveaways or

    shuttle services. Just beware, looks that it fits your occasion and event concept, otherwise you

    destroy, the idea emerged from within.

    3. Sustainability - what you can & save the environment?

    An event is a waste of resources - can not tell you differently. What we can but every respect and

    should, the damage is so good it's limit. Use or rental furniture store furniture, rather than discard it. Do

    not serve water from Bolivia and use local produce and recyclable materials. Just think for themselves

    and reduce to a minimum!

    4. Location less Ordinary

    An extraordinary and not to find expensive location, requires exhaustive search and sometimes a little

    creativity.

    It does not always have to be something big and familiar. Sometimes the own premises or

    warehouses, which are normally used for something completely different, not only cheaper, but

    also sensational.

    Remember: do not watch alone on the normal price - what are the additional costs, there are in-

    house personnel or a catering binding? Is it possible to use the equipment so or you have to

    deliver something to rent? If everything is available in time? If the location is a good

    infrastructure, it is easy to reach? Is the concept where feasible?

    After the event concept is - do not forget to take a tour of the selected location with all

    trades! An absolute must!

    5. Artist, Presenter & Hostess - an overrated & the other is underestimated

    Artists are common and comfortable - but they really do always make sense? It's not about your

    guests simply to keep the fun, but to communicate with them. Sometimes an interactive

    highlight is better than an artist or Show act - optionally tomorrow occurs in the competition. In

    addition, metaphors are quite overused as dynamism, flexibility and co.

    Good and cheap moderators are really hard to find. Is there alternatives? For example, a

    talented employee or a professional journalist who is familiar with the topic without long

    briefing?

    Hostesses are often completely underestimated. This is a fatal error! They are the direct contact

    for your guests and your first flagship. Take care of prior to her practicing with them and

    prepares them very, very well before.

    6. Dry run - practice, practice, practice

    The better all concerned about the procedures, the less will go wrong. Regular dry runs with as many

    stakeholders help. Put yourself doing in different roles: "guest arrives and has a trolley case", "hostess

    stands at the entrance and the first guest arrives," etc. Does responsibilities and To Dos one is planning a

    second man / woman for each item whose knowledge overlaps.

    7. After the event - check & extend

    An event is over quickly - in the worst case quickly forgotten. Therefore, you should then not only settle,

    but also documented and prolong the effect.

    Collect anything you have and you can find: videos, press reports, e-mails, quotes. Reminds with

    small gestures at the event, writes a personal thank-you letter, while selected images or

    giveaways.

    Have you previously set specific goals can and should also measure their success! The simplest method

    is a questionnaire. Is of course also a scientifically sound, but then usually a bit more expensive?
