Foxie knows that in event planning, a “five-minute request” has a strange habit of turning into a five-hour project! Three phone calls, seven emails, ten texts, two vendors, a spreadsheet, and at least one moment where you are staring silently at the wall wondering why you didn’t become a librarian.

It Usually Starts Innocently

“Can we move the registration table?”

Sure, no problem. Except moving the registration table means:

• Changing the floorplan.
• Moving the electrical connections.
• Telling the venue.
• Updating signage.
• Adjusting the traffic flow.

These are just some of the things that will be affected….so that “little five-minute change” is now taking hours.

Communication is Usually the Real Problem

Sometimes the change itself isn’t all that difficult. Making sure everyone knows about the change is.

One person gets an email. Another gets a text. A vendor doesn’t see either. Someone is working from yesterday’s floor plan. Now suddenly you are playing phone tag with 15 people while trying to keep the event moving.

This is where centralized communication can make a HUGE difference.

With LinkMy.Events, event planners can keep important updates, schedules, announcements, FAQs, vendor information, and other important event details in one centralized, easy to access place. When something changes, everyone who needs to know can get the information without the planner having to repeat the same message repeatedly.

Because event planners shouldn’t spend five hours communicating a five-minute change.

The Goal Isn’t No Changes

Changes are part of event planning. They always will be.

The goal is making those changes easier to communicate and manage.

So, the next time someone says, “It’ll only take five minutes,” take a deep breath and open up LinkMy.Events… we got you covered.
