Month: October 2016

Many industries rely on their reputation and it’s something so hard to build but so easy to tarnish. There’s nothing more fundamental to an event planner than their reputation – after all you have no rehearsal, your audience is live and you only get one shot at that event. That’s a scary thought, but it works both ways.

Everyone loves a disaster story, but even better, they love reminiscing about ‘the best night ever’. Make YOUR event the event which keeps on giving. There’s nothing worse than looking forward to something that turns out to be a disappointment. And people really look forward to big events.

Pull on the heart strings of your guests, put on the best entertainment, offer the best wine and the tastiest hors d’oeuvres and create a magical venue. Whether it’s a marketing event for your new product, or it’s a festival, make it a night to remember.

Who knows who may be in the room at these events, who you might impress and what repeat business you might win. But, if you offer a night to remember, you’ll be guaranteed to win new business and build a reputation you can rely on.

If you’re looking for ideas of how to create a wow-factor event, take a look at some of our other blogs for ideas.

Genuinely, we can empathise with disaster, starting out in eventing you make mistakes and there will always be errors out of your control, like ‘the SaddleSpan has been set up back to front’. And you think to yourself, “my life is over, my hard work is tarnished, where is that wine and I feel like never ever want to go back to work again”.

But then you remember there’s a mortgage to pay and that worse things happen at sea. It’s easy to say be calm, but being told to be calm generally penetrates anger and panic totally off the scale; so we’re not going to tell you to do that or ‘what will be, will be’ because, you need to fix it. Because the fairies won’t.

If there’s a problem, generally there’s more than one person that can help fix it. If your SaddleSpan’s backwards, or your entertainment has cancelled last minute, there will be a solution – even if you don’t know it yet.

We’re not suggesting you take on the role of speaking about pioneering technologies, or attempt stand-up comedy yourself, we’re suggesting that you share the problem with those involved with making the event a success. Generally – they’ll understand and try to help. If not well, you’re going to have to confess anyway; failing that emigrate to Australia and change your name.

The biggest thing about making mistakes, is the embedded fear of never wanting to make that mistake again, so no matter how big or small – you know what to avoid doing next time.

If you’re working with us on an event, our team are so passionate about doing the best they can, whether you want regular and constant updates, or you just want them to crack on and get the job done. And if anything does go Pete-Tong, we’re here to offer advice, solutions and therapy if necessary.

Talk to you soon,
