PHASE OF EVENT PLANNING: (Event/Web Build, During Event, Post-Event) - RFP Stage/Siting/Selecting
WHAT WORKED FOR YOU (DO'S - write at least 2) –
- Our hotel sends out a hotel 360 video link with every proposal (ours was completed video in Jan 2020). Ask your hotels when the video and pictures were taken.
- While video's and pictures are helpful, area's in the hotel may have changed from when the video/pictures where taken.
- Can't site in person, not a big deal request a virtual tour via facetime. This has become a very popular "live" siting option for those who can't site in person.
- Prior to the facetime site, include an e-mail list of everything you would like to see on the virtual site,
- Plan enough time to do the full site!
- Have fun with it!
WHAT TO AVOID (DON'TS - write at least 2) –
- Don't depend on only website pictures and videos that can be outdated
- Ensure that you see more than one overnight guest room
- Don't rush the site, plan enough time
