Top Tips:
- Decide who your target audience is, who you think you can get to attend and then choose an appropriate event.
- Think carefully about your date; make sure there is not a big local event that may clash with what you are doing.
- When you have chosen what event you would like to do, check whether you will need special permissions or licenses that may cause issues at a later date.
- Plan ahead, do a budget to work out whether you will be able to make money from your event and always allow a contingency, both financially and practically.
- Keep in touch: Keep us abreast of what you are planning. We can help advertise your event, provide logos, information about the charity and possibly even a speaker to introduce your event.
- PR Opportunities: The more exposure you can get for your event, the better. Perhaps you could approach your local radio station or paper? Social Media also provides you the perfect opportunity to spread the word amongst your friends and their friends so get on facebook and twitter and share your events details! We can also post your event on our website and facebook page so don’t forget to send us your event poster with all the details. This applies after the event as well, let us spread the word about how much you raised, make sure you take lots of photos to go with the information!
- Have a look at other events that charities have held, can you learn from their successes or even their mistakes?! Ask advice, people are usually happy to share when a charity is going to benefit!
The PLANETS Team are here to help and support you with your ideas and plans. For more information e-mail us on contact@planetscharity.org
