Let's Talk Tacos! Taco Tour Manchester that is! Taco Tour Manchester 2023 Stats: 20,000+ Officially Tracked Attendees (Largest event in Manchester) 56,000+ Website Sessions from 37,500 Unique Visitors 150,000+ Reached by the Facebook Event 70,000+ Views on the Taco Tour Map 14 Media Organizations Reported on the Event 43 States reached by the Taco Tour Website 100,000+ Tacos Sold Of all the stats we gathered, my two favorites are that 76% of surveyed attendees discovered a new restaurant at the event and that 80% plan to return to Downtown Manchester. Bringing Taco Tour back to reality in 2022 was a speedy feat. Everything came together over a couple months and at a lightning pace. It was necessary to take on this effort in order to revitalize Taco Tour Manchester- an event that gains millions of positive impressions for Manchester and our local business owners. In 2023, we were able to build the event into a well-run machine- adding entertainment, organization, and a ton of other fun elements to the event. As we look ahead to 2024, we know there are still elements we can improve upon and ways we can build this event up to be even more of a success for our community. We are looking for sponsors, partners, and collaborations of all kinds! Please reach out over the next few weeks to set up a time to chat and collaborate!

Spring is right around the corner meaning events will soon be in full bloom 🌸 🌼 With so many moving parts to events, seemingly small details can slip through the cracks. Here are four details you'll want to make sure aren't missed 👀 #eventplanning #springevents #gigeconomy https://lnkd.in/e-n7sG5S

We have seen a rise in the request for personal touches at events to ensure that guests and attendees feel as immersed and included as possible 💛 We love working with clients and their guest list to curate this element - whether that be a specific gift, a bespoke food / drink offer or seating plan 🎁 Events look effortless at times (and that's what we want you to think! 😉) but a lot of thinking about guests' subliminal experiences goes into them! Have you had a great gift or experience? Do let me know! 🌻 #PersonalTouches #BespokeGifts #BespokeExperiences #SubliminalMarketing

It's as simple as that. When you work in this industry, you learn to appreciate and see kindness in other people more than anything else. And that's why this industry is unlike any other! 💟 #hospitality #nycevents #nycstaffing #eventstaffing

The building blocks of a quality event? 🧱 Here’s my go-to guide: ↔️ Room Size - key so to not feel crammed or sparse. Avoid places that try to shoehorn you in! 🅿️ Parking - ensure plentiful parking on-site. The experience is dampened if people have to search and pay for parking… and then walk to the venue! 🍽️ Food & Beverage - consider menu choices; do you want a refined dining experience or functional food? Drinks tokens are also a great way to treat your guests fairly without going over budget! 🖥️ Audio/Visual - the positioning of AV equipment can be key. Look for a venue which has customisable positioning. 🦸🏼 Staff - look at the venue’s reviews; do their staff get mentioned a lot? Great staff, great service, great event! ☺️ Ambience - book in a visit beforehand to find out how the place feels. Does the venue reflect what level you are pitching your business at? 💆🏼 Optional Extras - are there any opportunities to supplement the event with other activities such as spa treatments, golf, squash, etc.? Just a little insight into the process I go through with new and prospective clients to see if we at Barnham Broom can help!

"The rising tide lifts all boats." John F. Kennedy. I firmly believe that good collaboration (the rising tide) only exists when major win-win outcomes occur for the parties (all boats) involved. While planning the first-ever Classic Cookie® festival, I wanted to be sure those we collaborated with had a positive experience with our brand When we selected Historic Downtown Sevierville as the festival's location, I knew we had an opportunity to elevate each downtown business during the event. Here are the highlights from the collaborative efforts between some downtown businesses and our company. 🍪 🍪 🍪 🍪 🍪 Collaboration #1: The salon/spa hosted the birthday cake gallery competition in their boutique retail area. Classic Cookie® Results - A comfortable indoor space for guests where the cake entries would not melt. Salon/Spa Results - High foot traffic and most boutique clothes they have ever sold in the store. 🍪 🍪 🍪 🍪 🍪 Collaboration #2: A two-month-old soda fountain business contributed prizes for social media and festival giveaways. Classic Cookie® Results: We had a unique marketing opportunity to engage fans before and during the festival. Soda Fountain Results: They had their biggest sales day in company history during the event. 🍪 🍪 🍪 🍪 🍪 Collaboration #3: The BBQ restaurant sold the Classic Cookie® Cinnabon cookie warmed up and topped with official Cinnabon frosting. Classic Cookie® Results: We had a vendor who could sell this exclusive item and a place where festival guests could enjoy a savory meal after all the sweets. BBQ Restaurant Results: Packed restaurant during the event with many locals saying they loved the food and would have never tried the place if not for the event. 🍪 🍪 🍪 🍪 🍪 I am grateful for all these business owners who worked with our team to make our company's birthday celebration special. Through our collaborative efforts, we created massive win-win outcomes for each other.

Crowd Movements.... This tip has taken on a completely new angle in the past few months - crowds have gone from being annoying to being potentially dangerous. Events can attract a lot of people and if you haven't planned and prepared things like queuing can make or break your event - and your Covid safe qualifications! When planning your event you need to consider which are the areas where a large number of people may be visiting the same element of your event. In post-covid world it is imperative that you have a solution for this - whether that be staggered arrival times, online registration & merchandise options etc. Even without Covid it's a great thing to consider improving at your events. No-one likes to stand around in a line! #crowdmovement #corporateevents
