4 Places You Can Advertise Your Events

Promoting events can be intimidating for some event planners. So, here are eight ways to get the word out:

1. Use an online registration site. Choose one that's easy to use and that can capture all the info you want to share about the event. One great thing about these sites is that they can show all the event information and also take registration and payment info from participants. This can make your life a lot easier.

2. LinkedIn. Here, you can send invitations to your contacts. Since many of these individuals are in a similar industry, it increases the number of attendees you'll have at your event. Additionally, you can promote the event to particular groups that have been created on LinkedIn.

3. Twitter. You can advertise here in several ways: Create a specific hashtag or send a direct message to your followers to reach several people who can help you promote your event.

4. Send email newsletters. Sending an email to your contacts can be another way to get the word out about your event. While social media is picking up steam when it comes to getting info out to people, email marketing is still a great way to promote your event.

How to Plan Your Product Launch Event

While creating a new product can be intimidating, actually launching said product is another stress altogether. Although your product may not be as big as the latest iPad, you can still put together an event that will garner attention for it. Here are a few tips:

Timing. The timing of your launch can be the difference between success and failure; this is particularly true if your product has an international audience. Be sure you know what the good and bad times are for your launch. A couple of other things to keep in mind: 1) The kind of product you're launching will influence when you release it; 2) You must be willing to postpone the event if you're product is not ready. It's better to reschedule than debut a product that's not ready for public consumption.

Purpose. The purpose of your launch isn't just to get exposure and spread the word, you also want to reach a particular audience that will turn into someone who'll pay for your product. With that said, choose a specific gaol for your event. For example, do you want sales, media coverage, consumer awareness, etc.? By knowing your direction, you'll be able to focus on the kind of event you'll have. There are three main types:
    - Trade events where you may invite important industry influencers like editors of trade publications. Also, this can be a series of events in several locations or over a period of time
    - Media events where you educate important media members who've been invited to review your product. This may be in press conference format.
    - Consumer events that let you introduce your product to both old and new customers.
Whatever you do, don't try to host one event that caters to many audiences. Keep your target audience narrow.

Venue. You want your target audience to be able to get to your venue as easily as possible. Additionally, you may want a location that will reflect your product in some way. Consider carefully where you'll launch it since the location will say a lot about your business.

Experience. The most difficult part about planning your event will be how to create something that your audience will remember and something they'll feel was worth attending. So, if the media is your target, be sure that you give them enough information to do their job effectively by giving them access to your product. If you're targeting consumers, think about giving a discount on the item in addition to having them experience it.

Following up. In the days after your event, it's very important that you keep the momentum going for your product. So, follow up with the target audience, and contact the people who showed interest. Your launch event should be the beginning of your launch process. Tie it in with your continuing marketing efforts.

With proper planning and implementation, you can be sure your product launch will start off on the right track.

What is your Honeymoon Personality?

By Julie Ndagire

After months of planning and finally walking down the aisle, you might be shocked at your partner’s idea of a honey moon. Your personality types may affect your preference of honeymoon destinations. So before you rush to book a honeymoon location, each of you should think about what you would like. Do not concern yourself with finances. Let your mind wander! Think about what you would like to fill your days and nights with. This should help jog your memory;

What type of atmosphere do you see yourself stepping into?
• Do you picture a long stretch of beach?
• Acres of picturesque greenery?
• A lovely petite compound?
• A down to earth but clean and smart place?
• A posh city environment?
• Exotic, wild nature?
• Or it doesn’t matter as long as you have each other?
• Are there many tourists around?
• Are there many locals around?
• Do you see yourself interacting with others much?

Would you rather;
• Stay within the resot and taking advantage of only its facilities?
• Go on guided tours daily
• Stay indoors mostly?
• Create and go in search of your own entertainment?
• Or it doesn’t really matter?

What is more intriguing to you?
• A drink by the pool?
• A never before done activity like snorkeling?
• Do you visualize romantic evening strolls, holding hands and pinching each other?
• Or Romantic candle – lit dinner in the room?
• Or high energy party activities like gambling or dancing
• Or a sleep in with you lover?

Are you eating exotic foods and Pizza?
• Are you enjoying locale cuisine?
• Or it doesn’t really matter?

What would you pay extra for;
• A luxury room?
• A breathtaking view to die for?
• Execeptional customer care?
Awesome guided tours?

• What would you fear most on your honeymoon?
• Boredom?
• Being too secluded?
• Crowds?
• Being in foreign country?

What is most important to you?
• The room?
• The Service?
• The food?
• The facilities?
• The entertainment?

Armed with your answers to the above questions, both of you should agree whether to go to a beach resort, a safari in the wild, a swanky and posh location, a laid back gateaway, an adventure-packed location or a scheduled, romantic location specifically for honeymooners.

Wedding photos – A must-Have guide

By Betty Among

A wedding is a series of events revolving around the bride and groom. Therefore, this should be reflected in the photos of the day. For a day that will be cherished forever, it is essential that every detail of the day be captured on Camera.

Getting Ready for Wedding Photos.

A photographer is usually assigned to the bride’s side although the groom can also opt to have one. Here is a list of shots that should be taken from the bride’s side:

The wedding dress still on a hanger or on the bed or over the chair.
The bride finalizing on putting on the dress
The bride’s mother putting finishing touches to the bride
A close-up of the bride’s shoes.
A close-up of the bride’s bouquet

The list of guidelines can be explained or scaled down according to the couple’s religious affiliations, wishes or budget. The couple should communicate to the photographer their most important moments. To guide your photographer, you can write down a list of the shoots you need in the order they will happen.

Tip: Try taking photos before the function begins because the make-up is still fresh and the enthusiasm and energy in abundance.

Tips for Planning Your Interfaith Wedding

It can be complicated to plan an interfaith ceremony. Most likely, you'll face three huge challenges: finding an officiant, bringing together two sets of traditions without offending your families too much and creating a ceremony that reflects both your commitment and common values. And with two different religions, these issues can be way more complex than usual. Here are some tips to help you "prevent a religious roadblock":

1. Have a long engagement. Take a year or longer to find and work on the issues that are likely to come up during your marriage. You should examine the issue of religion very closely -- its role in your wedding, marriage and future family. And you need to discuss the religious practices you want to continue observing, particularly when you have children. You don't have to set anything in stone, but it's important to be open about what you expect for the future.
2. Collect information. Take classes/courses in each other's religions. Although you may not plan to practice either religion at home, studying will give you a better understanding of each other's beliefs and assumptions.
3. Get counseling. Speak with a clergy from each of your religions, and if possible, someone with training in family counseling, to assist you in discussing the issues you face. Or, you could contact a family planning organization or therapist for objective pre-marital counseling.
4. Be patient with your parents. If people are having a difficult time dealing with the religious differences, try to understand that they are "mourning for their own unfulfilled expectations." Just give them some time to get used to the idea, and try not to get defensive.

How to Get Event Sponsors

If you're an event planner, you probably know that planning often includes tight budgets, so being able to make the most of your financial resources is key. Event planners often seek out sponsors to ease some of the burden and give more support. Here are some tips on how to find and secure sponsors for you next event:

Begin slowly. Don't ask "for the moon" immediately. Since you're developing a long-term relationship, you must prove yourself first. Securing a sponsor is the first leap of faith for them. Once you have proven yourself and shown that you're a good fit, you'll have more power to bargain, and you can ask for more.

Remember, money isn't everything. If a sponsor isn't willing to supply funds immediately (or ever), don't be surprised. Money is not the only valuable thing a sponsor can provide; look deeper and find other ways you can work together. Ultimately, there are two ways to increase profit: increase revenues or decrease expenses. So, if a sponsor won't give financial support (increase revenues), they might be able to supply products, supplies or materials, which will eventually lower your expenses and/or improve your guests' experiences. With that said, be open to different possibilities.

Best of luck in your sponsor search! 

8 Steps to Book your Honeymoon

By Alexa Ondra

Ever heard of the saying; “Proper prior planning prevents pathetically poor performance?” Most Ugandans are guilty of last-minute booking with no planning at all. This creates a headache for both the couple and the travel agents. Start planning your honeymoon along with your wedding.

Set a budget. Decide whether you would like to spend more on wedding or the honeymoon. How much money can you spend on the honeymoon? Remember it is possible to be in a particular location but choose the 5-star, 4-star, or 3-star option.

Lake Victoria Serena Hotel in Entebbe; One of the best honeymoon destinations in Uganda 

Decide what type of honeymoon to take. This is purely based on your personalities. Are you adventurous? Are you the type that prefers to be left alone? Are you water-loving? The choice is yours.

Seek advice from a travel agency. The world of tour and travel even within your own country is complex beyond your imagination. Things like connecting flights are best done by the pros else you end up spending four hours in transit while an agency would have sorted you out better.
With your budget and ideal vacation in mind, take your ideas and talk them over with a travel agent. A good agent should be able to produce a number of options that will be tailored to your preference and your budget.

Research your destination before sealing the deal; the internet, the tourist board or the travel agency can provide you with information. Check out activity ideas and weather.

Know the logistics before you go. Know the distance between your hotel and the other attractions you plan visiting during your honeymoon. Check out hotel amenities.

Find out about necessary vacations or diseases endemic to your preferred area for honeymooning. Visas, Taxes, Know it all.

Let everyone know you are on honeymoon. Hotel staff, restaurateurs, and drivers should be informed of the special occasion for your trip. Do not be shy, because divulging this information often results in special discounts, treatment or gifts.

Wedding Seating Charts 101

Planning who will sit where at your wedding can be a huge headache. With that said, here are some tips to help make creating your seating chart a little easier to deal with:

• Take your time. Don't think you'll be able to complete this task the night before your wedding; it could take a while. Taking your time to make sure all guests are in the right spot will create a more pleasant reception for all.
• Categorize. Are you keeping a master guest list? If so, group each guest in of the following categories: wedding party, groom's family, bride's family, coupled/married friends, single friends, guests with kids and people with known, lasting conflicts.
• Create a plan. Take out a sheet of paper, and plan how the tables will be arranged, and include the bride or head table (or you can find a template online). If you'll be determining where each table will be placed, put yourself in a position where all guests can see you, leave enough space for dancing, and consider foot traffic.
• Begin with you. The first thing you need to do is decide who will be joining you and your new spouse at the head table. Some couples include the entire bridal party, some sit with their parents and others sit by themselves. It's completely up to you and depends on your venue as well. If you choose to have the wedding party sit separately, consider putting them all at one or two tables with their significant others.

Steps Taken in Drafting a Wedding Budget

By Alexa Ondra

After the fairly dust has settled and the fact that you’re engaged to the most wonderful person in the world, there is now need to sit down to set some financial parameters and form a wedding budget.

There are ten most common steps when forming a budget and these include:

Step 1: Have a real long chat with your partner. Discuss what kind of wedding you both want, your dreams, visions, indoor or outdoor, laid back, buffet among others.

Step 2: Make a list of what you’ll need. Each wedding is different but if you want a standard wedding, get the budget from friends who have been there, or wedding meeting minutes to see the list. You don’t have to follow it though, feel free to create your own traditions.

Step 3: Priotise this list. What means the most to you? Is the cake more important to you than music? Select what you want to be handled first.

Step 4: If you’re not fully funding your own wedding and introduction ceremony, meet with friends and or Key friends to get a picture of what they are willing to contribute. Be nice even if they are not contributing financially.

Step 5: Analyse your own finances. How much do you have available or how much can you make available in the near future without going broke? Bear in mind that average Ugandan wedding costs sh15m and above.

Step 6: Come up with a cash plan to raise what you need whether on a personal note or from friends.

Step 7: Start vendor window shopping. Compare prices and do a full background check using other couple’s experiences.

Step 8: Go back to the drawing board; compare estimated costs versus real costs found and adjust accordingly or re-plan.

Step 9: Appoint a finance manager specifically for the wedding incase you are poor at financial management. It has to be a trustworthy person with a knack for accounts.

Step 10: Review your budget after purchases every two days to make sure you’re on track.

3 Ways To Promote Your Event On Twitter

By Daphne Bousquet

If you want to market your seminar with social media, Twitter is a valuable resource for creating buzz, raising your event's profile and yes, even getting some butts in the seats. Here are 3 tips for marketing your workshop or seminar on Twitter:

1. Tweet Your Way To More Attendees
Create at least 10 different tweets with a link to your event registration page. Schedule your tweets so you have about 5 throughout the day. Twitter moves fast, and when people follow hundreds of thousands of people, they will not see every tweet.

But be careful, you don't want your entire tweet stream to be about your event. You still need to give out tips, retweet other people and interact with people. 


Share some other resources in between, like articles and blog posts. If it is all about you and your event, you will turn people off because it becomes spammy. And that is a no no. Nobody likes spam.

Enlist some of your friends to help you promote your Tweets to their followers or retweet your tweets. You reach even more people, and since it doesn't come from you, it's not spam. Your event becomes a valuable resource that someone else wants to share with his followers.

2. Use A Hashtag
Create a hashtag for your event. If you are not familiar with what a hashtag is, it is the pound or number sign (#). You follow that with an abbreviation of the name of your workshop. Hashtags can't be too long because on Twitter, you only have 120 characters. Space is of the essence, so keep it short.

You add the tag to all the tweets about your event so that you can search for them easily and they can stand out among your followers. Then when other people start using it and the hashtag shows up everywhere, it becomes like a party, and people do not want to be left out.

3. Create Community With A Twitter List
Create a Twitter list of everyone who signs up for your event. That is a great way of getting people to interact with each other before they even get to your seminar. Your potential attendees see who else is registered, and that becomes a selling tool in itself.

What you do is create the list in Twitter or in Hootsuite because you can use that to create Twitter lists as well. Every time you have a new registration, you add them to your Twitter list. Then you make sure you publicize your list.

You can send emails to the people who have registered, encouraging them to follow everyone on your Twitter list so they can start networking before the event. You can even tweet about your list and encourage your followers to see who is coming to the workshop. Tell them to be there, too; you'll be able to network with all these great people.

In addition, you are fostering a community around your workshop. And people always want to belong to a community.

Real Wedding - Neela and Shawn

It's been a while since we have done a real wedding, but when we received the images from this wedding, we knew it was time to start again!

Neela and Shawn were married last October at the new Ottawa Convention Center and it was an affair that could rival any Bollywood movie- glitz, bold colours and of course the happy ending.

We absolutely loved working with this couple especially since we were lucky enough to not only plan one ceremony with them, but two!  The morning started with a traditional Sikh ceremony followed by a  Catholic ceremony which meant that Neela had two gorgeous dresses to show off. 

A full day for sure, Shawn made his entrance atop a white horse, guests were treated to an Indian feast for brunch, Canadian fare for dinner and a stocked candy bar that was sure to include the grooms favourite - Beemans gum!

Thanks to our friends Jodi and Paul at Horton Photography, 

we were able to share some of our favourite shots with all of you.

Much love to Neela and Shawn!
