Event Planner Business Card Template
Business cards are not dead in this industry, because this industry still runs on being in the room. A card handed to a venue coordinator at an open day is the cheapest lead you will ever generate. What goes on it is worth more thought than most people give it.
See the coursesEverything on this page is yours to copy and adapt. The courses cover the decisions behind it: what to charge, what to promise, and what to put in writing.
What yours needs to cover
- ✓ Your name and the word planner, because "events" alone does not say what you do
- ✓ One phone number and one email address, both of which you actually monitor
- ✓ Your website, short enough to be typed from memory
- ✓ The one social account where your work is visible, usually the visual one
- ✓ Which markets you cover, in three or four words, so a venue knows when to think of you
- ✓ Enough clear space that somebody can write on the back, because they will
How to use it
- Decide who the card is for before you design it. A venue and a guest need different information.
- Cut everything you do not check daily. A number you do not answer is worse than no number.
- Print a small run first and hand out fifty before ordering a thousand.
- Carry them to venue open days and supplier events, which is where they earn their cost back.
Event Planner Business Card Template FAQs
Do event planners still need business cards?
For guests, rarely. For venues and suppliers, yes, because the referral relationship in this industry is built in person and the card is what sits in the drawer afterwards.
What should not go on the card?
A list of every service, a stock photograph, and any address you do not want strangers arriving at. If you work from home, leave the address off entirely.
Should I put my prices on it?
No. A card exists to start a conversation, and a price on it ends the conversation before you have heard what the event is.
