Planning to organize an event but have no budget for a venue? Some would say that’s a non-starter – after all, budget is at the heart of event planning. Whether you’re putting together a product launch, a corporate hospitality event or an engagement party, the more funds you can throw into it, the better it will be, right?

While money is obviously an enabler, it is totally possible to hire a great event space with a zero budget. Start with a clear idea of what you want to achieve with your event, but think creatively and be open to ideas when it comes to the ‘how’ and ‘where’.

The art of finding the perfect free venue lies in being able to be both flexible and persistent. Get a professional venue finding agency to help – someone who knows the events industry inside out and can negotiate on your behalf and, crucially, at no cost to you.

When you want more people to attend an event, you’re clearly focused on the event marketing. You’ll blog about it. You’ll get impressive content and you’ll share it all over social media. You’ll keep calling your target audience to action. Are we missing something?

Needless to say, you want more people to reserve their spot at this event and be prepared to get them checked into the event as efficiently as possible. How do you make them do that? It’s all about the way you write the content.
