Planning a promotional event requires a lot of time and dedication.
It is important to allow ample time for proper planning as well as a good budget to keep your event on track.
You may also want to enlist the help of an associate or friend to help keep you focused and on track.
The first thing you need to do is pick a date for your event.
Make sure to check with local calendars as well as find out if there are any events going on at other businesses or organizations.
You also want to make sure the day you pick is during fair weather months- it doesn't make much sense to hold an outdoor event in the middle of winter if you live in Ohio.
Once you have selected a date, you need to start working on the event schedule.
Having a set timeline will make it easier to break down the tasks you need to accomplish to have a great event.
You will also want to do plenty of advertising.
You can get Screen Printing done on banners to hang around your community.
You can also create flyers.
A Web site dedicated to promoting your event, or page if you already have a site, is a great way to keep people updated as to the progress of the event.
Be sure to have plenty of help lined up for the day of the event.
If you are not using a catering company, you will need people to make sure your guests have everything they need.
You also want to be sure your help is educated on the event schedule so they can answer questions about the day.
