Organizing events in Spain, whether social or corporate in nature, can easily be accomplished even if you have a meager budget to work with. Many organizers have the misconception that one needs to have an unlimited budget for it to be a successful and impressive one at that, but that isn’t true.
Here’s how you can organize an amazing event even while you’re on a budget:
Utilize Memorable Elements
Audio-visual aspects of your events can be the ultimate wow factor in any event, and they don’t even have to cost a lot of money. Different forms of lighting can be used to create dramatic and fun atmospheres, depending on the occasion. Lighting can be adjusted to complement memorable videos, presentations, and themes that your attendees will definitely remember for a lifetime!
Performers and Speakers
Many performers and speakers are willing to add an entertainment aspect to your event for free, especially if it’s for a cause. Musical bands that are new to the scene or who are trying to get exposure may also be willing to perform at no cost, or at a very minimal fee, in order to market themselves to a wide audience during your event. Just make sure to sell the event to them and offer long-term benefits that they can obtain from your event, such as word-of-mouth marketing.
Market Your Event Using Social Media
Marketing events in Spain can cost you nothing, if you use social media channels right. Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter are all you need to attract the audience for your event. All of these social media channels are free to use and everyone you need to reach is already there. You can also ask the help of your colleagues as well as family and friends to share the event on their own page. For free events, you can also use EventBrite, a marketing tool used to organize and share events using simple and easy features.
Get Creative With Suppliers
Suppliers, staff, and decoration can be one of the most costly aspects of any event. Think of the truly essential elements of design that will serve a purpose for the event, and canvass suppliers who can bid for the lowest rates. You can also get creative by inviting design interns to do the work for free, while giving them a recommendation and exposure after the event. Create a list of everything that you’ll need to put the event together and source the most affordable suppliers in your area.
Last but not least, make sure that you brainstorm with your organizing team to get rid of all the aspects that are not important. Many decorations can also be rented and borrowed instead of having to spend on items that you will only use once. Just make sure that all the items are returned in good condition so that you can maintain good relationships with rental companies for future events while on a budget.
