When planning an event, there’s a lot of pressure added to finding the right guest speaker. You, the event coordinator, have many things to consider and keep in mind. However, those who are so wrapped up in finding the right speaker might forget about how much money they can spend or have.
Therefore, when choosing the right person for your event, make sure you know what you can afford before saying yes to anyone. Here are some ways to choose a great guest speaker without breaking the bank or your spending budget.
Stay On Budget
Again, when planning an event, it’s important to remember the small stuff, but it is very important that you remember your budget. Considering, the event wouldn’t happen without money anyways. This means you must know exactly what your spending limits are for everything, especially, guest speakers. And although it would be nice to pick whomever you want to present at the show, keep in mind that even the smallest of names have the biggest of price tags.
Search For Local Celebrities
Popular celebrities as guest speakers will surely attract a big crowd to your event, but high profile speakers aren’t always the best option, especially when you have a budget. So, another way to stay within your price range would be to hire guest speakers like University professors or small business owners. They have the same knowledge and expertise. Also, they are like local celebrities around your town.
Call The Professionals
Another way to save money would be to call around agencies. This can help you save money by getting an idea or sense of the going rate for a high-quality speaker. Also, making these inquiries will give you a better idea of how much you could be spending or how much you could be saving.
No More Volunteers
Lastly, gone are the days when people used to volunteer as a guest speaker for fun. No more freebies because it takes time, effort, and experience to deliver a good speech or presentation and people want compensation, not just a pat on the back. So now that nothing comes for free, you have to spend your money wisely.
It is important to watch how you spend your money when creating and planning an event. It is also important to watch how much you spend on the main entertainment. By following these tips, you can be sure that you won’t overspend on any guest speaker, ever again.
