5 Top Tips for Event Managers
Event Management can be downright difficult sometimes, and can often leave you feeling stressed and helpless.
But it doesn’t have to be that way.
Follow our 5 top tips for successful Event Management to make your next event a memorable one.
1. Get your act together
Early preparation and timely planning is key to laying the foundation of a productive event, so make sure to start those email threads as early on as possible. Don’t leave anything to the last minute - lock in your suppliers, complete your vendor contracts and start off on the right foot.
A.C.T.A helps you in the preparation process with valuable features such as real-time artist availability, instant notifications, and quick and secure contract exchange.
2. Read the crowd
Make sure you know your audience in terms of preference and expectations. Imagine that you are an attendee at your own event and ask yourself ‘who are my favourite artists at the moment?’.
Surely you wouldn’t book a pro-vegan rock icon to perform at your meat industry convention.
Understanding your audience is fundamental to booking the right talent for the best appeal and experience.
On the A.C.T.A app, you have access to a variety of quality talent all carefully categorised and subcategorised to aid in picking the right artist for your audience. You can use the talent category filters, sift through the additional artist information and look at real-time artist availability to find the perfect fit.
3. Don’t skimp on the decor
Detail is everything. There’s no point blowing the budget on big name entertainment and a glossy invite if your guests are sitting on the floor in a cold empty room.
Have peace of mind by using A.C.T.A and its price transparency to know exactly how much is left after talent expenses, and put it towards decor for a memorable and comfortable event experience.
4. Bums on seats
Ensure that there are people at your event by giving them a reason to be there. If you don’t book the right talent or nail communication with your patrons, you can bet your bottom dollar you’ll be looking into an empty or dull room on the day of your event.
Luckily for you, finding and booking talent with apps like A.C.T.A has never been easier.
5. Expect the unexpected
Always have a contingency plan, no matter what. It’s easy to lull yourself into a state of false security thinking that nothing can go wrong - but that’s where you’re oh so very wrong. Make sure to have a solid Plan B in your back pocket, whether that be a substitute location, talent or supplier. By pinpointing potential issues, you can prepare accordingly and ensure that all is running smoothly on the big day.
You can relax with A.C.T.A serving as a platform that allows all parties to easily accessible information across every aspect of your booking.
