Being an event planner doesn’t require a fancy office, full team of people, or pre-existing clients. Many professional event planners get started by working from home, promoting their services online or via word-of-mouth, and many entrepreneurs who work for themselves enjoy the freedom that working from home offers them.
Here are some tips to consider when starting a home-based event business.
- Brainstorming ideas so you know what type of events you want to plan
- How to create a plan and map out your goals
- What resources you need to get started
- Discover how to secure and register your business name and URL
- Decide which social media platforms are best for your business
- Decide if business cards are right for you, and how to design them
- Learn why a launch party is a great promotional tool for your event
- Understand how to choose a niche market
- Know how to determine your pricing
- Understand the difference between benefits and features and why they’re important to setting yourself apart in the marketplace
