There is always that one event we remember as the best we’ve ever attended or hosted. Whether it was a birthday party, wedding or retirement dinner, these events become a memory that we cherish for a lifetime.
For those who have planned events, the idea of hiring a dedicated person to make it stress-free and flawless is rather appealing. The event design and planning industry has become just as elaborate and competitive as the soirees the event planner is hired to execute.
We caught up with Keren to hear what she’s learned being a business owner, the trials and tribulations, and also debunk a few myths about entrepreneurship.
In the middle of major preparations for an 85-person corporate cocktail dinner, Keren’s responsibilities, like many small business owners, run the gamut. Handling everything from site visits, preparing floor plans, all while going with the flow of the constantly changing requests and guest lists – including staying within budget.
Customization and personalization are two other key selling points for her business, and as a graphic designer, Keren relies on FedEx Office to help create custom elements for her clients’ events.
“I often deliver every design aspect of an event: from invitations to the graphic elements for flowers, catering and other displays,” Keren said.
For a detailed planner juggling multiple events, the trusted relationship with her local FedEx Office helps her complete projects in a timely fashion so she can be available to all of her clients.
Keren touts promotion as a key element in being a small business owner. “Promotion is everything and no one can do it better than you,” says Keren.
