Manage Booking with VenueArc

It’s mid-morning on a Monday. That straight-talking, fast-moving 38-year-old established venue manager you so respectfully look up to is balancing a stack of Judy Allen books on his schedule; all the while is ping-ponging around customers, employees, and loaded venues. How is he doing it all so effortlessly, you wonder. He is a farsighted man on a mission who knows that he needs to gamble on technology more than people to keep his business afloat. He sees the utmost importance of technology as a source of cost efficiencies and an inseparable component of the company. Especially now, with COVID-19 on the ebb, event management businesses that have not digitized and automated everything – everything from venue management, customer service to venue booking – have begun to lose their competitive edge. We need only suggest that a vicious pandemic has already started to wane – get back to the stage, it’s time to sit back and manage bookings with the industry-leading event management software: VenueArc.

We have a declaration to make: event management is not a cakewalk. But to say this and not give you a solution to the common problems which event planners face is … unfair. So let’s take you through the most quoted issues faced in the event management business, followed by a low-down on how to smoothen out the wrinkles caused by these problems by using VenueArc, the most favorite tool of result-driven event planners.

Is your budget overspent occasionally? We feel you!

Overspending is the most commonly cited problem faced by event planners today. Even age-long business playbooks have gone limbo and become incompatible with the overspending problem event managers face today – the solution does not exist in books anymore. It does in technology. Any unanticipated changes (which are inherently unavoidable unless you are mythic Merlin from the Arthurian legend and can make phenomenally accurate predictions) can mean you need to spend more than you budgeted for.

Frustration with networking activities? We understand.

Let me describe to you the fundamentals of an event planner’s job: he is supposed to know how to network, and most importantly, create time for networking activities that can increase business’ outreach. If he is not familiar with how and where to network, his revenue woes are compounded. In the event management industry, it’s a fact that event planners don’t last long without networking. It’s true, especially if they do not create social media channels to spread awareness about their business or invest time in social lounges to interact with attendees of their events. How can this be remedied? Read on to discover.

Forgetting to Track Schedule or Budget Changes – how forgetful

Embarrassing, isn’t it? We know that the event management sector is laughably agile. Sometimes, while you are busy with other important tasks, your partner scheduled a new booking that has not yet been communicated to you. While you are confined to your time-sensitive tasks, several other issues are being dealt with, and changes are being made. You sit there, with your head slumped over some files – unaware of these changes. Finally, the embarrassment materializes in the form of double-bookings, availability misquotations, and miscommunication with clients. That’s not just bad for your brand’s reputation, but it also leaves a wrong impression on your subordinates. There has to be something that gives you a real-time, on-the-go update of changes in one centralized place. Something like VenueArc.

Oops, It is raining, and you don’t have a backup plan?

Nature would not make an appointment with you before dispatching rain, hailstorm, tornadoes, or other such deliveries. The burden of pre-planning backups lies with you in case such emergencies occur, but event management businesses often forget to do so. What does it incur? You become subject to many losses on top of ruining the event delegated to you. This is why you must have a backup venue planned and prepared for emergencies. It’s essential to have venue management software that lets you track the runtime availability of the venues which you have in mind, and also enables you to track their booking schedule.

A formless Event Management Process means – an imminent risk of fall

Your event management process sometimes feels very out of place. With every new event, you have to start from scratch, and there is no sense of re-usability and systematicity to your event processes. Making similar contracts from scratch, making several calls before confirming a venue’s availability, making last-minute settlements – sometimes they take two days and sometimes months. Documents are everywhere – in excel sheets, in clutters of files, in your phone’s reminder. You cannot keep track of your bookings, and it gets too much to handle. It is a sign that you need to automate and streamline your existing workflows. It is a sign that you need purpose-built event booking software that can help you structure your event management processes. This is the point where event management software comes in, and to name one, we have VenueArc.
