Saying Thanks Goes a Long Way

2/25/2014

0 Comments

 
I’ve blogged before about the handwritten note, my personal favorite over any other easier option. In this post I want to talk about who to thank. 

It’s a given to say volunteers, those giving time without payment, deserve special thanks after a project or event is complete. I’ve come (respectfully) head-to-head with clients who argue that paid staff and vendors compensated for their work don’t need acknowledgement. I lean towards showing gratitude to staff and vendors too – it’s an important gesture that goes beyond the norm.

It could be a quick handwritten note of thanks, a lunch, snacks provided on a Friday afternoon or a gift card for coffee at a favorite place.  It’s give and take. If you take the time to notice people’s hard work, people take the time to notice you. That way, the next time (there is always a next time) a project comes up or a favor is needed it’s much easier to ask.

See, I want the response to a favor to be, “Reach Partner’s calling! Wonder what interesting (or weird) thing they’ve got cooking?”  Instead of, “Oh, shoot, it’s Reach again. Wonder what they want now.”

100s of Little Deeds

Event planning is much more than choosing a site, menu and lining-up speakers. Event planning combines strategy and preparation to achieve a desired environmental experience. Every element carries meaning, intended or not.

Every aspect is intentional.  Risk and undesired situations have been anticipated and mitigated well before the big day so that the occasion unfolds without so much as a hiccup and the experience feels effortless. The event in all its aspects matches, enhances and reinforces your brand in ways that is refined, intelligent and spectacular.

It takes 100’s of little deeds to pull off that big idea in the just right setting for just the right people.   Attendee lists, clients, prospects, setting, time, place, ambiance, money, sponsorships, incentives, marketing, budgets, on-site management and follow-up just begin the list of to-dos to accomplish the intended feel.   

Enter Reach Partners, the busy elves of invitee lists, implementation plans, process and follow through.  For Reach it’s no abracadabra, but for you and your event it should feel clear, easy and worry free. Just like magic. 

Rachel, Reach Partners
