No matter how big or small, planning an event takes a lot of effort. When you are planning an event, you need to start somewhere.
Rough Plan
Before pitching your event to sponsors, you must have a plan ready. The project needs to include details like the event’s venue, expected footfall, target audience, estimated date, events, and the event’s point. Armed with a skeleton plan, you can approach your sponsors and performers for the event.
Sponsors
Funding is a major part of planning any event. Depending on your event’s target, you can target your sponsors. All sponsors matter, so approach all businesses, big and small, to get a sponsorship for your event. Even the smallest sponsor can help make a huge difference to your event. Sponsors can also help you get important contacts for your event.
Cause
You are more likely to get more sponsors and increase the footfall by having a cause. Pick a reason that you would like to spread awareness on. In the process of spreading awareness for your reason, you apply information about your event as well. Make it transparent that a part of the profits will go to supporting the cause. Many artists also participate in events that work towards any particular reason.
Main Attraction
With your budget in place, you can start looking for performers. Depending on what your event and cause are, you can choose to approach the appropriate performers. A mismatched performance list can be the death of the event. Get some popular performers to ensure the success of your event.
Venue
Keeping the performers and the expected footfall in mind, you can choose the right venue. Booking a venue in advance can save you a lot of money. So, once you have a rough plan and estimate, start looking for a platform to book. Find a platform that can hold slightly more people than your estimated footfall. It is better to have an open forum than to stuff too many people into small spaces.
Guest List
The type of people you want to attend your event can determine your guest list. If you wish to have a closed event, you must have a VIP guest list. Buy VIP ID badges at affordable prices and keep them ready at the entrance. If you want an open event, you can allow the VIP passes to be sold at higher prices. Your VIP guests will be paying to get the VIP ID badges and the benefits.
Promotion
You need to get the word out about whether you want an open or closed event. Hit social media platforms to get the proper attention and promote your event online. Set aside a budget for promotion to attract more people.
Man Power
No event can be a success without people working tirelessly to keep things in order. Volunteers can be an integral part of your event planning. Have volunteer badges ready to distinguish the volunteers. Apart from volunteers, you can choose to hire experts, like security personnel, to care for certain work.
