Concluding The Bright Ideas Event Consulting Series

Wow! I cannot believe that the event consulting series has ended, and we have outlined the significant steps to take in planning a successful event. Each event is indeed different, but if you have a solid event plan, it is like a blueprint for building a house. Follow it as closely as possible, make adjustments as needed, and always keep your eye on the big picture.

Here is what we covered during this 10-Part Event Consulting Blog Series:

Part #1 – Event Consulting vs Event Producer

In this blog, we talk about the differences between these two jobs. We also explore how to decipher which Event Professional to hire for your event planning needs.?

Part #2 – Selecting The Perfect Venue?

Finding the right venue is always challenging, but it’s not impossible if you have a qualified event professional guiding you. Have a look at our Ultimate List of Unique Venues to see if you can find your perfect venue.?

Part #3 – Planning Your Corporate Event Agenda?

Timing is everything, and in the event, biz timing is KEY! Planning the “perfect” takes experience and knowledge—nothing worse than a poorly designed schedule.

Part #4 – Choosing A Theme That Fits Best?

A theme can make or break an event. The best kind of theme is one that weaves throughout the event's strategy. Here are our top 10 Award Winning Themes.

Part #5 – Designing a Solid Décor Strategy?

The best kind of décor is interactive décor that engages the audience. An event professional will guide you on the best option, which can be tricky. Read about this Eco Friendly, winning décor strategy here.

Part #6 –? Planning The Proper Menu?

Our guests talk about food long after the event is over, so you had better get it right the first time. The wrong appetizers, crowded buffets and empty food stations are the death of your event! Looking for unique catering ideas? Click here

Part #7 – Booking The Ideal Entertainment?

Most people don’t realize that selecting your entertainment is very important for the success of your event because if you include the wrong selection of joy, it may hinder guests' ability to mingle and network. Here’s a list of hybrid and virtual entertainment ideas.?

Part #8 – Including the Right Virtual Activities and the Right In-Person Activities

Each event situation and corresponding audience requires the proper activities for the event to be successful.?

Part #9 – Adding Swag and Theme Giveaways

Using promotional products as giveaways is a tried and true marketing technique. However, giving out a bad giveaway can easily lead to it being ignored or, even worse, can damage your brand.

Part #10 – Calculating ROI for your Event

ROI is usually meant to measure revenue compared to cost. But for events that generate sales leads for a business or raise awareness for a cause, ROI can be adjusted to calculate the net value of your efforts.

I hope you have taken away some valuable information from this series to help with your event planning. However, if you feel like you need a little more help from an industry professional, just a reminder, you can book Bright Ideas for event consulting services with as many or as few aspects that you need help with. Think of our event consulting services as a menu in a restaurant. You can choose what you want and need the most help with.?

It depends on what you need. You can purchase a package for a few hours if you need just a bit of guidance. However, if you need someone to map out the whole event plan and implement it, I can do that for you too.?
