Events on a budget

INSIDER TIP: Events on a budget

• Spaces - Find meeting spaces that feel unique, but are cost-effective

• Catering – don’t splurge on catering. Instead consider shops like Panera or Au Bon Pain. They can give you high quality food for half the cost of catering companies

• Small touches – little décor touches can go a long way to impressing your clients and showing them that you can care about presentation.

• E-vites – hard copy invitations can run up your budget fast. Focus on getting the word out via e-newsletters, e-vites, and social media.

• Keep interest – Gain interest for your event early with call-to-actions and employee messages. Shoot it on your smart phone, and upload it on your website and your YouTube channel.
