...Event Planning – Questions To Answer Before You Begini 1. Do you have clear goals for staging a special event? Is the purpose to raise money? Assuming one of your purposes is to raise funds, it is important to determine when the funds are needed and what your financial net goal is. The strategy to raise significant dollars will be considerably different than one to generate a few hundred dollars. As a basic rule of thumb, match the event to your financial needs and timeline. Is the purpose to generate new donor prospects or volunteers? In most successful fundraising events, one of the goals is to attract new volunteers and money to support the organization. Otherwise you may be redirecting money previously given to the organization through other avenues and overtaxing current volunteers. Is the purpose to increase public awareness of your organization? If you want to increase the visibility of the organization, the event should be held where many people are exposed to the name and mission of your organization and great efforts should be aimed at good media coverage. Is the purpose to bring attention to your cause or mission? Too often the population served by the organization is confused with the audience for an event. Although the two should be compatible with regards to the basic values of the organization, the audience of your event may be significantly different than the clients you serve. David Nelson, author of Getting the Payoff from Special Events, distinguishes between...

Clean up - Kitchen to be completely cleaned, All dishes/silverware/pots/pans to be cleaned, all linens removed & sent out to be cleaned, all tables and chairs moved to clean floors and polish, bar area to be cleaned etc. 6.

Remember too that when you go to a restaurant to eat, you are there only 20-30 minutes and sharing the restaurant with others with no DJ.

...Event Planning – Industry Analysis Endra Newell Overall Summary Event planning is the organization, preplanning and preparation of countless details required for an event as well as the management of these details during the time the event actually occurs. It is the event planner’s responsibility to ensure all details of the event are being managed from selecting the appropriate venue to ensuring all invitations are printed and sent. They are accountable for the event running smoothly and effortlessly on the host’s behalf. History and Evolvement About 30 years ago, event planning was a service that the average person did themselves without seeking assistance from a third party. Event planning was indeed a service utilized more so by the wealthy and/or successful corporations. Fast forward to present day and an event planner has become more of a necessity than that of a housekeeper or nanny. The demand for such a service has increased due to time constraints of an individual, recognition of the industry amongst the middle class and the lowering cost associated with the use of such a service. This service is looked upon as one that eliminates the hassles and headaches of putting a tremendous amount of effort into planning and executing such events without enjoying yourself in the long run. According to the Bureau of Labor and Statistic, employment of event planners is expected to grow 20% from 2006 to 2016. Threat of New Entrance The event planning industry...
