Tammie Hawkins: Event Planning - Responding to Customers

Event planners have a very fun and rewarding job, but it can also take its toll. Whenever customers need a large event planned, the work of sorting out every detail can be difficult and involve many late nights and extra hours. Event planners work hard to help their customers create the best atmosphere for whatever event they choose. Most event planners work frequently with couples planning their weddings and receptions. The key to succeeding as an event planner and avoiding getting yourself buried in endless work and preparation is to take special notice of your customers’ requirements. Listening and responding to your clients should be your first priority as an event planner. By recording your clients’ needs and using them as guidelines for your work, you can skip the extra hours and inefficiencies that normally occur when planning an event.

If you’ve ever planned even a small event, such as a camping trip with friends or a house party, you know that even the simplest-sounding details can go awry. Any time you’re relying on others to help you put on your event, you have to communicate exactly what you need so that they can deliver. As a professional event planner, your clients are relying on you to make their special moment happen. In order to avoid wasting your time, you have to make sure your work goes into satisfying your customers’ specific requirements and measures of success.

Running a Successful Business - Crafting a Vision

All successful businesses come from the vision of the business owner at the beginning of development. When investors see your vision, make sure they see one that is truly yours and can be a recipe for long-term success. Most investors want to see a definitive business plan before they give you the capital you need to get started, and this plan comes from your original vision of how the business should unfold. Start with a product or service that you feel is under-represented in the marketplace. Another place to try to catch that lightning bolt of inspiration is by thinking of a new way to offer already existing products and services. Are you dissatisfied with how certain products are offered? Don’t get mad, start your own business.

Developing a vision you can show to others is not easy, but once you have a proven concept and clear vision for how to develop your business and how to bring it to as many people as possible, you will gain investors, clients, and connections to the industry you have entered. As your business grows, you will need to stick with your vision to keep improving your service in the eyes of your clients. This will help your business grow sustainably.
