Next, we’re going to be talking about Getting help with your event. Finally, we’re going to finish up with promotion. After reading this article, you’ll be able to easily create an event that will be talked about for years to come!.
The first key element you need to know about planning an event is how crucial it is to create and maintain a budget. If you go over your budget you project could end in disaster,and it’s very likely you will never attempt to plan an event again due to the criticism You might receive. To make your budget, you need to figure out,and calculate all the expenses for the event. That means food,location,entertainment,etc. Do this BEFORE you ever purchase anything,because it allows you to take things off of your list that you feel you don’t need and go over your budget.
The next element you need to consider is getting help. It is extremely difficult, if not impossible to plan,and execute an entire event on your own. You can go about obtaining help in one or two ways. You could ask your friends and family if they mind helping you with your event. Offer them something like free entry,or drinks etc. To show you appreciate their help. The other method of course is to hire someone to help you set up the event. this goes back to planning your budget,decide how many people you want to hire, and how much you are able to pay them.
The third and final element of effective event planning is of course promotion.
It’s not an event if no one shows up right? The promotional aspect of event planning CANNOT be ignored. There are a multitude of different ways you could promote your event. You could go old fashioned and spread the news by ‘word of mouth’, or by hanging up fliers all over town. Those two methods do work very well, but are a little too time consuming in my opinion. We’re in the year 2010, the digital age, so it’s important to think of promoting on a larger scale.
Use social networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter, MySpace etc. to promote your site. These sites are twice as fast and effective as the older methods. You could easily send an event invitation to hundreds of people with the simple click of a button. This also boosts the ‘word of mouth’ aspect of your promoting because hundreds of the initial people you sent invites to, will tell hundreds of others about it,and even more will bring other people with them to the events.
Now you have the three essential elements required to plan a truly unforgettable event. To recap First you create, and maintain a budget.
Second, you get help from friends and family, or hire workers. Finally, you promote your event using old school methods, and social networking sites. With this knowledge you will now be able to create the most popular events in your town/city. After the success of your first event people will be dying to attend each and every event you plan in the future!
