7 Helpful Tips
If you are in charge of planning your high school
reunion you will need to be armed with some important information in
order to make the event a success without breaking the bank. Read the
top 7 tips below for planning a successful reunion which will guarantee that your class reunion will be a success.
- When
negotiating rates for anything, refer to the class reunion as a
reception. If the vendor hears class reunion they automatically mark
things up more.
- Find a point of leverage for every
vendor. Maybe it is the time of year, week, day when they are less busy
and more prone to giving a discount.
- Offer to promote the vendor's business in all communication with invitees in exchange for a small discount.
- Email
a few vendors at once and request a bid. By letting them see that there
are others bidding, they will give you their best rate. Then send them
back an email saying they are not the lowest bidder. They may go even
further to get your business, by lowering the price or adding value to
their offer.
- Have a friend act as the DJ or
photographer. This will save you a lot of money and there usually is
not a huge difference in the quality of a layman or a professional.
- Put disposable cameras on all the tables and ask everyone to take pictures of each other.
- Check references before hiring any vendors and read the fine print of the contract.
