Events — An Investment Today
and for the Future
Get a Taste of the EventBLT™ approach
by Allison Saget, Event Marketing Consultant
Understanding your company’s or your internal/external clients’ sales initiatives and business objectives is fundamental for any successful event. The next step is making these initiatives and objectives come alive at the event. Plain and simple — done properly, meetings and events can create awareness for a company and allow it to show what it has to offer in the best light — a breadth of products, services and solutions the marketplace can rely on.

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.
How do you decide whether you should host, sponsor, exhibit or attend an event? Do you use specific criteria to determine what events are best? If not, you may not be getting as much return on your investment as you should.
In this month’s feature article, Allison Saget, author of The Event Marketer's Handbook and president of her own event marketing consulting firm, discusses the three primary reasons for participating events. And she explains how to apply her approach, known as EventBLT™, to make event participation an investment for today — and tomorrow.
This is the first in a series of articles by Ms. Saget that will appear in our newsletter on a bimonthly basis. With more than 20 years of experience helping companies achieve their key business objectives through events, this author/businesswoman has a wealth of industry knowledge and insights to share.
This month, instead of a reader's dilemma, we’ve included some questions from Ms. Saget in our What’s Your Best Advice? section. We’d like to hear what you have to say. Next month, Ms. Saget will comment on your input and provide suggestions for improvement. And check out our readers’ remarks on how to deal with an employee who’s only in the office part-time and is needy/demanding while he’s there.
If you have a dilemma of your own, or if you have any advice on how we can make our newsletter more relevant to your business, please let us know. Your comments are always appreciated.
If you would like to unsubscribe, use the link provided at the bottom left corner of the newsletter.

Last 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?

This Issue's Dilemma:
How do you measure the success of an event?
In this month’s feature article, I address the need to develop a strategy and specific plan of action prior to attending an event. What steps does your organization take to ensure your time and money are spent wisely? What are typical problems you encounter? Your counterparts and I would like to know.
— Allison Saget, event marketing consultant and author of The Event Marketing Handbook
