Three<\/p>\n<p>things we teach those who come to us looking to break into our industry will definitely help in becoming<\/p>\n<p>wise.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Know your audience, know your attendees.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Imagine you think it\u2019s a good idea to arrange a basketball tournament but everyone<\/p>\n<p>likes golf instead? What if you ordered a steak menu but the group was an<\/p>\n<p>environmentally friendly all vegan team? Rather than sit there with egg on your face,<\/p>\n<p>get to know your group that you\u2019re planning for. What they like, dislike, food<\/p>\n<p>preferences and hobbies where appropriate. Does this require more effort and work to<\/p>\n<p>get things right? Absolutely, but a memorable experience means a returning customer.<\/p>\n<p>Think about that!<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>You have heard it before in marketing, but the same is true for events \u2013 location! Location!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Location!<\/p>\n<p>You might think this is a no brainer, but you\u2019d be surprised. Just like picking a tea party<\/p>\n<p>menu for football players is ill thought through, so is picking the wrong venue or<\/p>\n<p>location. Say you have an event in downtown vegas and the group are seasoned<\/p>\n<p>travelers who like to enjoy the local flavours of the city \u2013 placing them in a hotel with a<\/p>\n<p>conference room that\u2019s 5 minutes from the hotel is probably a bad choice. Think about<\/p>\n<p>your options, the local restaurants, access to entertainment, and the weather even.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>People lose attention fast!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you are planning a full day conference for a group of business professionals that is 10<\/p>\n<p>hours long before the nights\u2019 entertainment begins, the last thing you want is death by<\/p>\n<p>power point. Think of ways to break up the day, keep people focused, have interesting<\/p>\n<p>people come in and arrange regular breaks but not with coffee and muffins, with<\/p>\n<p>interesting foods and selections they wouldn\u2019t expect. Doing this breaks up the dullness<\/p>\n<p>from a powerpoint and allows you to shine through, gearing up for a experience that<\/p>\n<p>evening, making the company presentations worth it.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>A little extra work goes a long way, learn to be wise and don\u2019t make the mistake of going with the easy<\/p>\n<p>route \u2013 it undoubtedly almost always results in an event blunder you\u2019re unlikely to recover from.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Event planning is a big, competitive and growing business business and as barriers to entry continue to diminish \u2013 be sure to be wise and learn from others\u2019 mistakes rather than make blunders yourself.
