eROI Event

The first step to putting on a great event is figuring out what the purpose of your event is. For a simple example, think about a birthday party. The purpose of the event is to celebrate your (or your friend’s) birthday and for that person and the guests to have a fun time. This purpose will dictate everything else about the event. For a birthday party you would want friends and family to attend, maybe acquaintances, but not just random people. The party should probably be at the birthday boy or girl’s house or possibly a fun location such as a restaurant or bar. Attendees will need to bring a gift with them. You will need some sort of snacks or food to appease the guests, and of course, a cake and candles. You will probably promote the party through personal contact, phone, or letters, maybe even eROI Event. It is also important to think about special factors, if it is a surprise birthday party you will need to make different accommodations for that, secret invites, a cover story to fool the birthday boy or girl, etc.

The same logic applies to any other type of event you might want to host. Rather than starting by planning the logistics and outward appearance of your event, think about why you are putting in the time and effort to make your event a reality. If the purpose is strong and meaningful, the venue, refreshments, and attendees will all fall into place. By doing this you will not only make the event more successful, but it will be more rewarding to your attendees and ultimately, your business.
