1. MAKE IT MEMORABLE
Memorable events just don't happen. Should you have a purpose? YES! Should you have a goal when planning your event? YES! Your event should be impactful. Think about your next event while planning your current events. WHY? You want your audience to attend the next one and the next one.
2. YOUR ATTENDEES ARE YOU REAL BOSSES
Branding and Marketing your event are other key components. Your event needs something that will set it apart from the rest. Remember your real bosses are your attendees. Your promotional page should be enlightening, about your Brand, your guests, your sponsors, your participants. Filled with excitement and informational, everyday!
3. ORGANIZATION IS KEY DAY OF EVENT
Although there are so many event organizing apps and devices, my binders keep me sane. Especially on Day of Event. Whatever tool or device you use, STAY ORGANIZED and train your team to be organized as well. There is nothing more distracting then an unorganized check-in area. This is not what you want your guests raving about. Oh and I love the Evernote app too, lol.
4. LIFE HAPPENS
Emergencies arise, sometimes staff and volunteers are missing in action, vendors pull out last minute, the list goes on; caterers, entertainment, photographers, I experienced it all! You learn to take the failures with the successes. Having a Plan A, B, and C is a stress reliever. Always be ready for "Life Happens". With every event you will be more confident and more prepared. Take a deep breath, maintain your composure and keep it moving.
5. STRATEGIC THINKING
Pray!! Clear thinking ascends into re-alignment and simplicity. Until we see that Praying enforces clear thinking we will continue to do things as usual, hmm...ineffectively. Pray for your event, your staff, your volunteers, your health and well being, the venue, the venue staff, the food, your vendors, your participants, for wisdom and purpose.....Just Pray!.
6. EXCELLENCE
Do everything in the Spirit of Excellence.
7. PROBLEM SOLVING
Your reputation as a person, entrepreneur and event planner is at stake with every event. Problem solving is a very important attribute of an event planner. Catastrophic situations (and oh do I know it!!), may arise and may be out of your control however, be sure to address what is in your control, address it immediately and professionally.
