Organize Your Next Charity Fundraising Event with Bradley Dean in Toronto Raising funds for a charitable organization can take as much time and energy as the actual work the cause is devoted to. An efficient way to raise funds in a short period of time is to host an event. An event can attract and inspire the maximum number of people to contribute all at once – and in the future. The most common ways to raise funds include auctions, walks or runs, and dinners. Such events, when organized and executed well, can inspire involvement from the community, encouraging more people to donate. Whether your organization is large or grassroots, thinking of fresh and engaging fundraising ideas can be an overwhelming task. Without proper planning and due diligence, ambitious ideas can be difficult to bring to life.  Hosting a fundraising event may seem like a relatively easy task – host an event and ask people to donate. But in reality, it requires a lot of planning, brainstorming and execution ...

Whatever the reason, every event should have a clear objective, with a step-by-step plan to ensure its success.    In-house marketing teams often have the capability and talent to produce an event, but, with their other responsibilities, don’t have the time and resources to plan and produce a successful event within budget.

Corporate events or galas are an effective tool to get your business noticed and attract potential customers. To be considered a true corporate event (versus a small gathering or meeting), your event will generally take place at a large venue, have a guest list of a few hundred people, celebrate a milestone event or launch, or fundraise for a cause or organization.  Tips to Make Your Event a Success Set clear objectives  Before organizing an event of this scale, you should have some clear objectives in mind. You must have a goal and all your activities must be focused on meeting them.    Know Your Target Audience  It is critical that you understand your target audience so you know how to motivate them to act. For example, if you intend to raise money for a charity, you must understand your target audience and how you can inspire them to contribute generously towards the cause. Or, if your company is hosting a gala awards event, then your guest list must be made ...

From the time there have been businesses, there has been advertising. Using a broad scope of mediums, the goal is to establish a relationship with your audience and convert them from prospects to buyers. From print to TV, and of course, social media, companies work to find the best strategy to connect with their audience and impart their message. But there is so much static and noise out there, it is difficult to get noticed and build a relationship. One way to set yourself apart from the competition is to aim for customer engagement; and we do this through experiential marketing.  Experiential marketing does precisely what it says; it delivers an experience. Providing your audience with a tangible, memorable experience is more impactful than typical promotional strategies. Every brand is searching for effective ways to draw in their audience. Providing them with a multi-sensory experience is key. Think about what they can see, hear, smell, touch, and taste.  Experiential Mark...
