FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Because there are so many different details for the events that I plan it is hard to give an exact pricing system. I look at every event individually. Is research needed? How many meetings or calls will need to be made? Is shopping or assembling required? Is set-up or clean-up required? Is consultation service only or day of service or more needed? I try to be reasonably priced working with my customers budget and offering suggestions to help with this if needed.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Typically my first response to a customer is by e-mail or phone. Then I usually request a meeting to go over details, get to know the client better to customize their requests. In some cases it is necessary to visit with various other vendors and venues to help the client to make decisions or ensure it all accomplishes the success of the event.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have worked in the transportation business for 15 years assisting customers with all the details of their corporate and personal events. On a personal note, I spent many years planning and putting together parties for children and adults working with large and small groups. For the past year I have started my own business where I have had the opportunity to help plan a couple weddings, a corporate open house, and a milestone birthday party along with a monthly social event for Western Hills BNI Group.
