Feature

High Tech, High Results

How to be more efficient and lower costs with technology

Event Organizer's eJournal speaks with Bala Subramanian,
President and CEO of Synergism, Inc.

Remember the last time you received a piece of mail from someone soliciting business, and your name was misspelled? Or did you ever get a mailing from a retirement community, hoping you’d take up residence — despite the fact you were well under 65? These kinds of mistakes happen because some companies either don’t maintain databases of their own — or they do a bad job of it.

Editorial Corner

Welcome to the latest issue of 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.

Everyone in the event industry knows how much more complicated events have become over the years. Today, companies often adhere to the “bigger is better” principle. But “bigger” brings with it a realm of new challenges. Managing attendee information is one of them. So, what do you do when those 5” X 8” file cards with name, phone number and mailing address aren’t enough anymore?

This month’s feature article discusses how technology can be a lifesaver for any event professional looking for a better way to keep and update information on attendees and others. In the article, Bala Subramanian, president and CEO of Synergism, Inc., details the technology choices you may want to consider — and explains how technology can save you not only time, it can save you money, too.

For advice on how to make the right first impression with prospects, check out our readers’ responses to last month’s dilemma. This month, a reader asks how to work with a someone who’s only in the office part-time and is needy/demanding while he’s there. What do you think?

Please keep the feedback coming. We want to make our newsletter the publication you look forward to receiving each month.

What's Your Best Advice?

Last Issue's Dilemma

How do you put your best foot forward?

In last month’s feature article, I discussed creating first impressions. How do you make sure you communicate the right things in the right way — so people form a positive impression of you and your company? And how do you measure your success at it? Your counterparts and I would like to know.

— Josiane Feigon, TeleSmart Communications

This Issue's Dilemma:

Tick, tock, I need a doc

How do you manage to get anything done when you work closely with someone who’s only in the office 50 percent of the time and is very needy/demanding during the hours he works?

He’s a tremendous drain on my energy and focus whenever he’s around. Any suggestions out there?
