"There were so many mistakes in the beginning, but our attitude was, we can only learn from these mistakes. We had a client who asked if we could store items until her event. This was right after moving out of my partner’s basement into our first warehouse. We agreed to store her items; however, we didn’t realize how many she had, nor did we agree to a time period. Three months later, having charged her nothing for storage, we created a policy that we will take possession of any items provided by a client no earlier than the week of their event, or we had to charge a storage fee. We learned that our inconvenience had a value." Our Chief Executive/Event Officer Heidi Hiller - Perseverant recalling the early days at Innovative Party Planners in our latest feature in Authority Magazine! In addition, she discusses the 5 Things You Need To Know To Successfully Run A Live Event, Conference Or Convention. A huge thank you to Caryn Sagal for helping put this together!

Hello, Brand Lovers! Did you know that the happy and friendly image of Santa Claus was actually a genius marketing by a famous brand? You might have already guessed the brand from the red and white color combination itself. Even though the image of ‘Santa’ evolved as a result of the merging of several historical myths like Sinterklaas and St. Nicholas, it’s believed that Coca-Cola’s advertising of the 1930s featuring Haddon Sundblom’s iconic illustration of Santa Claus holding a bottle of Coke, solidified the image of Santa as we know him today. For a much deeper breakdown, do check out the complete branding case study on my YouTube channel, called ‘Brandzpree Branding’. #branding #marketing #marketingagency #businessstrategies #christmas #cocacola

How to Pack Posters for Moving

I'm talking all about the meaning of the black cockatoo on our website. He's not just a handsome bird, he's part of our branding. Does your brand have a story to tell? #branding #brandstorytelling

Like the Black Cockatoo, Banter is rare! It’s rare to see them. Once you can recognise their call, you can hear them miles away. That’s how we would like Banter to be recognised - once you know our work, you can recognise it in brands. They’re rare. So are we. Everyone loves them! Plus, he's a part of our 2024 strategy - do you have your business strategy sorted?

Packaging or "framing" your offer the right way makes all the difference.   Strawberries packaged in a heart-shaped container for Valentine’s Day sells way better than the standard square basket.   A paid “Idea Bounce” or “Firestarter” session feels more valuable than telling the client you’ll help them brainstorm ideas for $150/hour.   Helping your client apply for an important grant or award through a “Grant Application Workshop” or “Award Strategy Clinic” has much greater appeal than saying, “I’ll help you fill out the application.” Spend more time thinking about the best possible framing. It will pay off.
