Pre-Event Timelines

Deadlines should be in line with the needs of your pre-event schedule so that all responsibilities and needs align seamlessly.  Remember the deadlines, as such, will be changing as the event plans develop.

The Impact of Social Media in the Workplace

Internet and cellular phone technologies have made a huge impact on everything in the workplace from interpersonal communications to the way we conduct and process research. In today’s global economy, the speed of and access to communications has blurred the lines of the traditional business day. The dramatic speed of these changes and each successive generation’s ability to absorb and put the most recent technology to work for them can create a strained environment and work against productivity. A great example of the two sides of technology can be found in Napster and Apple iTunes, one of which destroyed the record industry and the other that transformed it. Every organization would be wise to consider security breaches, decreasing employee productivity where there is ready access to the Internet, as well as poor company image or branding on the web.

As Intellectual Capital gives way to knowledge sharing, we must adapt and change the way we do business. Today, the definition of what an asset consists of is changing, we now see; Human Capital: employees are more than just assets, and we need to invest in these them. Organizational Capital: promoting higher productivity through technology. Relational Capital: consisting of 3 primary elements, social networking through sites like Facebook, live search sites such as Google and link sharing via sites like Twitter have become an important part of relationship development.

Marketing Plans

Currently, I am working on an outline for what will soon take shape as a Marketing Plan.  It will feature Marketing 2.0 components designed to include  a social media presence for the client (a well established architechtural firm), a greater face-to-face plan for meeting new clients, which will include marketing events, savvy client outreach programs and a revamped newsletter. 

The Internet has changed the face of marketing, as it's enabled prospective clients access to immediate information on any given industry.  The organization that takes advantage of an enhanced web presence may have an edge over others that do not.

Ladies Night Out!

This week, I have Bachelorette Parties on my mind. Perhaps because I've experienced some of the very best of what "girl's night out" has to offer. Everything from walking S.o.S. to getting a natural "high" from vivacious laughter!

Good times, Good times!

Event Space

If budget a major concern, why not let the space define the theme of your next meeting or event? Selecting a space with personality and enhanced by the appropriate menu selections can go a long way to creating a memorable event!

It's Official

My website www.planit4you.com went "live" yesterday. The experience has been less than exhilarating. I feel like I'm lost in the morass of other event planners that are out there and my site will never be seen.

I am, however, taking steps to correct this problem. I look forward to tweaking things in order to create a change.

I'm open to suggestions.
