Planners: Collaborate With Suppliers to Wow Your Attendees

Lynne Wellish | August 6, 2018

By Lynne Wellish When starting out in the industry and learning to source and procure, I made the mistake of always asking how much things were—often overlooking other factors. I played a tug of war with all my suppliers, forgetting we had the same goal, a happy client and repeat business. Then one day it hit me, I had a budget and its purpose was to craft the event and communicate a message to the participants. Those tools are used to reach the goals and objective and to show an ROI. Sitting down with your AV team and other suppliers not only expands your options and creativity, but creates great synergy. Case Study: The Event Ca...

4 Ways to Win the Hearts and Contracts of Meeting Planners

Groups360 | October 13, 2017

Then, why does your hotel's group sales managers continue to sell the property the same way, over and over again, no matter the group? Here's the kicker: Meeting planners know they are being sold to.

As a result, sales managers spend a bulk of their prime selling hours sifting through this barrage of potential business simply trying to determine which are the BEST leads to pursue. Then, and only then, can th...

Here's what we suggest to hold meeting planners' attention: Revamp Your Destination Marketing Pages Reconsider how you're selling and marketing your biggest asset – your destination. You know that planners need to also market the d...
