Why Marketing Matters to You —
And everyone else who helps you with your events
by by Keith Skillman, ASAE
Marketing is a major part of your job, whether you think of it that way or not. So, it only makes sense to turn marketing into a strength, to the benefit of both your meetings and yourself. But how can you do this? By applying branding and integrated marketing to the meetings you plan — and discovering new ways to work with your marketing colleagues for the best results.

Welcome to the latest issue of The Event Organizer’s eJournal — the newsletter that focuses on helping event organizers, planners and producers increase attendance, delight attendees and make more money at their events.
Who do you think is responsible for marketing at your company? The marketing department? The salespeople? How about you?
This month’s feature article discusses a basic truth you may never have considered before: Regardless of what your title is, marketing is a major part of your job. And how you market your events affects not only their success, but the success of your company, too. Written by Keith Skillman of ASAE, this article explains why you should be involved in marketing and the principles you need to know.
For advice on how to choose the right assistant, check out our readers’ responses to last month’s dilemma. This month, another reader asks how nonprofit organizations are different from for-profits — and how he can serve his nonprofit clients better. He’d appreciate whatever insights you can provide.
Last of all, I’d like to extend my congratulations to Dody M. Collier, president of Mainely Meetings, who is this quarter’s winner of an Apple iPod. If you haven’t entered our drawing yet, please do. All it takes is a few minutes of your time.

Last Issue's Dilemma
Help wanted: How do I know what help to hire?
I’m a meeting planner, and after years of doing everything myself, I finally have money in my budget to hire some help. To attract the right candidates, what job title should I include in my ad? And what are the primary skills I should look for in the resumes I receive?
I’d appreciate any opinions your readers might offer. Thanks.
— Linda K., Meeting Planner

This Issue's Dilemma:
How can I help nonprofits profit from their association with me?
I recently joined a company that helps nonprofit associations plan and execute their meetings/events. In my short time at this job, I’ve found that the needs of these organizations and their management structures are very different than those of mainline companies and for-profits.
Do I need to work differently with these associations to help them succeed? If so, can any of your readers help me understand my clients and their needs so I can help them produce better meetings and events?
— Rob, Events Planner
