Looking to the FutureEvents Inspired by Tiffany is a new event planning company

in the Dallas/Ft Worth market. We offer a wide variety of event planning needs from baby showers to corporate events. I’d like to offer a wide range of services to be able to grow the business. Once I have found my niche I will focus on that area for growth but will continue to cater to other areas as needed.

Marketing my business correctly is very important. I will look to social media such as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram to get started with getting the word out. I plan to reach out to a few radio and television stations to purchase ad space as well. I will work with people that have been able to experience my work in planning as a “word of mouth” platform.

I would like to reach out to a few seasoned event planner for their advice and seek available internship opportunities to advance my knowledge in the field. In the first 1 year I will take on smaller projects to get my “foot in the door” of event planning. Within 5 years I would like to have more corporate planning events under my belt so I can grow in that area. Within 10 years I would like to work with my brother, Jerry Ashford Jr (the owner of Panoramic Construction), to build my own event venue.
