We Crush Events’ Post

Bless their ❤️, I ❤️my DMO partners. They can help move the process along when hotel reps are up to their eyeballs with RFP's, contracts, sites and interminable sales meetings, to respond promptly. Shoutout to godsent Bob Doering of Visit Jacksonville for being an exemplary collaborator every step of the way. DMO's are a vital extension of my firm and as such, I have them in the loop from the moment I start sourcing destinations and hotels. They are a robust source of support for third parties and end users. #buildingrelationships #siteselection #hotelsourcing #hotelsandresorts #MICE #negotiation #contracting #advocacy #meetings #conferences #incentives #inpersonmeetings #siteselectionstrategistllc

Have you ever planned a company event and then experienced a disappointing attendance? Or perhaps you responded to an invitation and then didn’t show up. A successful event depends on everyone’s respect. If you’re invited, respond. If you accept the invitation, show up.   A large Fortune 500 international trucking company division decided to move forward with its annual holiday dinner during substantial budget cuts. They felt that their employees still needed to feel appreciated. They sent out invitations to employees and a few area customers. The invitation stated, “Regrets Only.”   I was hired to present a formal dining tutorial seminar to ensure all employees would be comfortable in a formal setting and to create excitement for the end-of-the-year holiday dinner. In the meantime, a rumor started that the company would be sending out “pink slips” after the first of the year. This rumor created disgruntled employees.   Since only a few sent in their regrets, the division event planners moved forward with pre-paid meals. Then, only around 25% of the employees showed up! This was an embarrassment for the company and at a considerable cost. They were responsible for paying for all meals ordered—the “no-show” meals had to be discarded. The employees who did not send their regrets and failed to show up showed little respect or appreciation for their employer.   Furthermore, the company planners have their names on file.  Not responding could influence a management decision or career opportunity.  And it did!   Not showing up may have been an employee’s way of messaging discontent with a company decision or potential decision. Or, perhaps each person thought, “What is one less person?” It is never about one less person when many think the same way. Thinking this way is a career-breaker!   Chapter 4 outlines all the expectations and protocols for an event invitation, whether you are the planner or the guest, from invite details to addressing the what-to-wear dilemmas.

Administrative professionals are the backbone of any organization, and they're EXCEPTIONALLY skilled at keeping things running smoothly day in, day out. However, when it comes to hosting a memorable holiday party, there two compelling reasons to consider alternative approaches: 1 - an event planner specializes in creative design and logistical coordination - they can bring fresh ideas and innovation to the table. Your team will appreciate a holiday party that leaves a lasting impression - an important step in boosting overall team morale and culture. 2 - when an administrative team is tasked with event planning, their attention is diverted from the day to day critical functions that keep your organization running efficiently. The end of the year is already a hectic time so don’t add to your team’s stress - delegate these celebrations to event planning professionals so you can enjoy the festivities without the stress of coordination. With the holiday season upon us consider whether it might be time to bring in event planning experts to create a memorable celebration. Your administrative professionals will thank you for allowing them to shine in their core roles, and your team will thank you for the unforgettable experience! ✨ Reach out today and let us plan your holiday party!

Her boss told her to plan a Staff Appreciation event... She had one-week notice as an already overwhelmed Executive Assistant. She booked two food trucks and a DJ and sent an email to let the employees know to meet in the company parking lot for free lunch at noon. At noon, over 200 employees rushed downstairs for lunch and most waited over an hour to be served while others left and grabbed lunch somewhere nearby or forfeited lunch because their lunch break was over! Event planning takes more than booking a couple of vendors! You need an agenda, timeline, activities, budget and so much more. She booked coaching sessions with me for her future events, but I created an online class for beginners specifically for administrative assistants or new employees who are expected to plan last minute events at their job.

NOW - Why should you book your company’s year-end celebration and/or holiday party NOW? 🎄 🕎 🥂   Here are a few compelling reasons:   Employee engagement: The holiday party is an opportunity for your team to come together and celebrate their achievements. By announcing a party early, you’ll build anticipation and excitement among your employees, fostering a sense of unity and camaraderie within the company. 🤝 Availability: In our experience, many companies book their events six months to a year in advance, which means popular venues fill up quickly and early. Booking far enough in advance means finding more options to choose from that align with your company’s vision and budget. 📅 Peace of mind: Planning a holiday party can be a complex task, involving multiple elements such as venue selection, catering, entertainment, and décor. By securing early, we’ll have ample time to coordinate all the details, reducing stress and ensuring a seamless and enjoyable experience. We have a few dates left in December to take on clients, and after a thorough search we have found several venues still have limited availability!   So, don’t delay, take the initiative and start planning your company’s holiday party today. We would love to hear your vision and execute a memorable year-end celebration!   Let’s make this holiday season one to remember! 🥂 #eventmanagement #eventplanning #eventprofs #holidayparty #salesmeetings #corporateevents #celebrate #celebrations Liz Cook Kelly Chapelle https://lnkd.in/gqJV9f2T
