Want your event to be successful and attract your WOW Client? If so, you will need an Event Strategist! Here are some reasons why hiring an Event Strategist is a good idea and how we help clients, like you.
Save Time
Believe it or not, hiring an Event Strategist may seem like an unnecessary expense especially if this is your first event and you are trying to keep costs down. Au Contraire – you will save time – consider this, how much is your time worth? Your event planner and strategist will know the ins and outs of planning your event, because you would have had an intense strategy planning meeting from day one. As a result, your event planner can save you time – they take all the meetings, meet with the venue, arrange for the vendors, schedule the A/V team, and set the stage. You will not be able to count the hours an event planner saves you, and you will get more of your own work done.
Save Dollars
You may think otherwise, you may think it is a luxury to hire an event planner, it will cost you more than if you did it yourself, right? With a good strategist who knows your budget and how strict you are at sticking with it, they can work wonders to get the best deals because they know who to work with, what to negotiate and where to find the wiggle room. Planners have strong relationships from events past, they know who to ask, who to trust, and all this saves money overall.
Get Good People
Do you have the time to research all the plumbers on your city’s Angie’s List before choosing one? And after making the choice, still not know who you were getting or if they were even any good? Not everyone knows an excellent quality event videographer or the best event photographer for the money. A resourceful planner and strategist does – they know the pros and cons and can narrow down the best choices to ensure you get the best people and the best team you need and to stay on budget.
Get the Right Venue
Did you know that where you host your event – the city you choose and where in the city you choose – depends on the kind of event you want to host and your goals for that event? A good event planner and strategist is necessary to help you figure this out since it can affect client attendance, customer sales and a whole lot of other things.
Get a Cool Looking Event
Left to our own devices many of us would have a sparse event, with no decorations and limited attractions – a good event planner knows what makes an event pop, what makes it tick, both technically and creatively; and the details to pull off a cool event are many. Did you know that angling your audience chairs a certain way could be the difference between an attendee feeling included or excluded at an event? Planners know how to make their attendees feel engaged and involved. Once your attendees feel this, you will have pulled off a cool event.
You Will Eat
What a concept! With the hours it takes to monitor a one to multi-day event and no time in-between to grab a bite, who else but a knowledgeable planner would know to send meal menus out ahead of time or arrange refreshments, so you and your team are fed and well hydrated?
Lastly, you will have a chance to breathe!
Planning an event is stressful and a big job. Wouldn’t you like to step back, regroup, and focus on the parts of the event you know most about? Financially and creatively speaking, hiring an Event Strategist is the best decision you can make
And when the time comes for your next crazy cool event, you will have the best team in your corner…so sit back and breathe!
