As an event management company you will no doubt have experience in dealing with a number of different occasions be it a fund raising event or simply organising a wedding for a lucky couple. I am sure that all the events you have dealt with have been great successes and some that you are proud to speak of on a daily basis or even use them as pitches for new business. Quite rightly as this is the way the world works so go ahead and do it, however don’t become complacent as this could be a major fault for you and your business. Just because you have had some successes up to now does not mean this will continue.

You have to be open to new ideas and you have to network with people in your industry to ensure you are offering the best possible service you can. All this is required just for you to stay ahead of the competition as this industry is very cut throat especially in the current economic climate where everybody is looking for the bargain of a lifetime. The key is to think outside the box each time for each event and essentially be unique it’s not difficult in most cases as sometime it just takes a small but nice novelty idea to get people talking.

There are so many ideas out there that can help you stay ahead of the game but you just need to be creative with your ideas and explore your suppliers and other people around you to see what they can offer. Ultimately the main reason people seek out an event management company is that they expect them to be able to deliver a wow factor for their event and it doesn’t matter how that wow factor is created it just has to be unique.

Here are some ideas that may help get those creative juices flowing. Imagine you are vent managing a wedding something that could make the difference is getting the bride and groom outside the venue with all their guests for a professional fireworks show but include them by providing them with sky lanterns and setting them off out into the air. The sky lanterns could even have messages on them for the special couple to make their even more unique. Obviously there are so many ideas out there it’s just what you make of them for your client.

On that point which also combines the point about being complacent, listening to your clients is paramount after all it is their occasion and they know what they want. This doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t advise or go to extremes to make their come true obviously it is all at a cost anyway so you won’t necessarily lose out. Remember that’s how business works, impress your client and their colleagues, friends or family and essentially you will get repeat business.

To summarise keep your ideas unique and ensure they have a wow factor, always, always listen to your client, it’s their occasion not yours but feel free to provide your expert opinion.
