Of course, what they are really thinking is sometimes a completely different story….
When an event planner says these seven things:
- “Absolutely! We can make that work.” – Translation: “I have no idea how we will make this work, but I’ll spend the next six hours trying to figure it out.”
- “Let’s touch base closer to the event.” – Translation: “Please don’t create another problem for me until at least next Tuesday.”
- “I’ll send you a quick reminder.” – Translation: “This is the fourth time I’ve asked you for this information.”
- “Just give me a few minutes.” – Translation: “I need three hours, 4 phone calls, twelve texts, and quite possibly, divine intervention.”
- “We’re just waiting on one more thing.” – “That one more thing is actually holding everything else up.”
- “Let’s keep everyone in the loop.” – Translation: “Because I refuse to answer the same question 25 times today.”
- “Communication is key.” – Translation: “Please, for the love of all things event-related, CHECK YOUR MESSAGES.”
The last two are especially important. Event planners spend countless hours answering repetitive questions, sending updates, coordinating vendors, communicating with attendees, and making sure everyone has the information they need.
That’s where LinkMy.Events can help.
Instead of scattering schedules, announcements, maps, FAQS, and event updates across emails, spreadsheets and group chats, LinkMy.Events gives planners one centralized communication hub.
Attendees, vendors, speakers, and staff can stay connected and receive important information in real time…without adding another level of chaos.
Foxie knows event planning will always have surprises. The goal isn’t to eliminate every problem…it’s to make sure everyone is on the same page and gets the message when something inevitably changes.
