Know your escape routes! Have you ever run a trade show booth and had no idea how to get your on-hand booth materials out of the event floor? I certainly have... When running a booth at the Toronto Metro Convention Centre, my partner and I made the mistake of paying for parking, blocks down from the convention center. For one reason or another, we walked our materials down the street rather than bring the car up and pack everything in on Front St. I have no idea why we did this, and it made things way more difficult than they had to be. While I always advocate for having a teardown and exit plan, sometimes you just need to improvise if you are not used to the convention center you are exhibiting at. Do you have any after-expo horror stories? Comment down below and share your nightmare experiences at the end of an in-person marketing event. #ExpoMarketing #TradeShow #ExperientialMarketing

A quick recap of our 2nd Salons Owners Mastermind yesterday! Even better and longer than the first and they're still saying "Make it an all day event!" I never imagined I'd be co-hosting events. I'd rather be home than even ATTEND an event 😅 yet here we are. I guess sometimes your purpose isn't the thing you want to do, but the thing that comes for you! #salonbusiness #salonleadership #salonownersmastermind

Creating unbreakable bonds. In business, we do our best to ensure things never go off the rails, but inevitably they will. Yet in those moments of breakdown, there are opportunities to show up in ways that we can't when it's business as usual. In fact, at Eclipse Awards we've built some of our strongest and longest client relationships from the ashes of unfortunate situations. If something goes wrong, we don't disappear or shift the blame. We step up, take responsibility, and extend a helping hand to ensure the job gets completed. Sometimes we'll remake awards and even lose money ensuring the order is delivered as promised. And once clients know that you have their backs in the worst of situations, it often creates an unbreakable bond. Why would they ever consider another supplier who's worst case scenario response is unknown? So the next time you encounter a difficult situation, consider how you might resolve it in a way that will create an unbreakable bond. #smallbusiness #unbreakable #service

As we look ahead to Q1 2025, conference planning is in full swing! While SXSW is a significant event happening in March, we are already resourcing and developing two additional projects that promise to be impactful. Organizing a large, well-attended conference requires meticulous preparation and team building—ideally starting at least 🌟 nine months in advance🌟 with a dedicated core team. This extended lead time ensures a smooth collaboration between all involved as well as an exceptional experience for all attendees. Another example: As the National Football League (NFL) season is only entering Week 4, brands are already gearing up for Super Bowl activations in New Orleans. With the vibrant energy of the city and its reputation as a festival hub, it’s crucial to begin securing parking lots, venues, and restaurants now. Prime real estate in New Orleans is highly sought after, and early planning is key to success! At PLAN Experiential, we are committed to delivering outstanding events that exceed client expectations and resonate with audiences. Stay tuned for more updates! #EventPlanning #Conferences #SuperBowl #SXSW #NewOrleans #ExperientialMarketing
