What are the most popular types of corporate events?
The list goes on and on – but the most popular types of corporate events can include trade shows, conferences, seminars, product launches, ribbon cuttings, awards ceremonies, fundraisers, client appreciation events, executive retreats, networking events, and more! These events provide opportunities for businesses to connect with their employees, clients, and corporate partners to promote their brand, services, and/or products.
Please note that Burning Stick Creative does not provide event planning assistance for personal functions such as weddings, birthdays, family events, private engagements, etc.
How do I promote my event?
Promoting an event can be difficult, but there are plenty of ways that you can market yourself and your event to ensure a good turnout! Using social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram creates buzz and sends your message out to a wide audience. You can also develop email campaigns to encourage others to attend or share the event with their networks. Additionally, you can create radio ads and television promotions in your local community to create awareness. Tangible collateral like flyers, billboards, and posters can also work to spread the word! It’s important to have a clear and compelling message that highlights the unique aspects of your event to attract attendees.
How do I handle unexpected problems planning my events?
Our favorite tidbit of advice is simple: most likely, the only person who will notice something going wrong is you! Stay calm, don’t panic – the show must go on! Your guests will be totally engrossed in the environment we’ve created, so any bumps in the road can be kept behind the scenes.
Having a capable and experienced committee who can assist at a moment’s notice is key, keeping any issues under wraps and out of the eyes of your guests – if you can. But sometimes, that’s not possible. When major, obvious problems arise it’s best to put on your best face and let our event specialists extinguish the fire. Anything and everything can go wrong – and sometimes they do all at once – so it’s best to be prepared for all possible scenarios.
How do I get people to attend my event?
Planning an event is one thing, but getting people to show up is a completely different situation. There are a few things you can do to make your event more appealing to guests, but the most important group is your inner network. Getting commitments from business partners and sponsors can help to fill the room with the right people, but that can’t be your only source! You‘ll also need to promote your event on social media platforms, create a website or landing page for your event, send out email invitations, and use word-of-mouth marketing to reach the masses.
Additionally, you can offer incentives such as early bird discounts or exclusive access to certain parts of the event can help to encourage people to attend. It’s also important to make sure that your event offers value to all your attendees – whether that’s through promotions, networking opportunities, or just a fantastic time spent!
How do I make sure my event is successful?
It’s all about the details! Start by setting clear goals and objectives, and then create a detailed plan that outlines all the necessary steps to achieve those goals. Make sure to create a feasible budget, choose a suitable venue, and promote your event effectively to attract guests.
Nobody can be everywhere all at once, so you should also consider forming a committee to assist you before, during, and after the event. A committee of peers can help to distribute the workload and responsibilities, allowing you to focus on other important aspects of the event. Additionally, having a committee can bring in diverse perspectives and ideas, leading to a more well-rounded event. It can also help with communication and coordination among team members, ensuring that everything runs smoothly. On the day of the event, you and your committee can be prepared to handle any unexpected issues that may arise.
