Hey event planner, might this sound familiar?
❌ Everything is contained within your thoughts!
As an event organiser, you essentially embody three roles in one: the project manager, the creative mind, and the sales representative. There's always the risk of numerous details remaining unshared, leading to the necessity of working extra hours during busy periods.
❌ Holidays are reserved for the season's end.
Cross your fingers that your resistance stays up during the season and you only take a vacation once the peak period is over. After all, who is there to step in your shoes?
❌ Keeping colleagues informed feels like a job in itself
After a change in a quote, you also need to adjust the script, update the schedule, update the kitchen lists, inform your colleagues, and notify your suppliers. You then must hope that no outdated copies are left in circulation...
❌ A love-hate relationship with your text editor.
Drafting quotations in Word is feasible, yet far from perfect. Transferring standard text from one document to another might save time, but it's fraught with the risk of mistakes. And to be frank, integrating your brand identity seamlessly into a Word template is always a struggle.
❌ Now, where was that placed?
Emails, Word documents, phone conversations, scripts, planning memos, meetings with colleagues, and sticky notes all over your desk. No matter your level of organisation, there are times when distinguishing the wood from the trees becomes an overwhelming task.
