If you’ve clicked on this post you’re probably trying to figure out what is the significance of having a corporate event planner. You might be thinking about planning an event for your company or you’re trying to decide if hiring an outside person is the way to go.
If so, then this post is perfect for you, because I firmly believe hiring a corporate event planner is the best decision you can make. And I’m going to break it down into three simple reasons why.
They have a Vast Network…Experienced planners have developed relationships with vendors, suppliers, venues, and many others. They will be able to provide a way better experience for your event because of their network. Not only will the event be better, but this also keeps more money in your pockets. Event planners who maintain good relations with vendors can often get discounts on services and rentals that you yourself would have to pay full price for. What types of connections might you need? For starters catering companies, DJs, photographers, table rentals, live entertainer, florist the list goes on and on.
The next thing is…
Saves You Time… if you’re reading this blog, I’m assuming you work for or are affiliated with a company that desires to host an event. And if you are pondering the idea of planning your company’s event, it’s going to be time consuming. Event planning is a full-time job and fruitful career for some, which means it a lot of work. So, keep in mind, taking on this task is going to feel like you’re working two jobs. Having an event planner allows you to focus solely on your company job. You can rest easy knowing that while you work every detail will be taken care of. And if you were looking forward to the task and hoping to expand your horizons you still can without spreading yourself to thin. It’s very important that planners have a company contact that operates as a bridge between the planner and the company. Some even assist with planning and the overall production of the event. This is an operable solution for employees who want to be a part of the process, but not over extend themselves.
Last and most importantly…
It’s Their Job… The job of the planner is literally to plan events, especially one who specializes in corporate events. Think about it this way, would you hire an astrophysicist to come perform heart surgery on you just because he says he’ll do it for cheap. No, of course not. You want somebody who specializes in event planning and is knowledgeable about the industry. They have marketing skills and tools they can use to ensure your event’s success. Event planners have the experience in the field, so you can be sure every box on your event list will checked off.
I hopeful this blog post has informed you of the benefits of outsourcing a corporate event planner to provide your company the best experience.
