When planning an event, live performers can add value and excitement for the attendees. However, if you are unfamiliar with the talent booking process, you may make mistakes such as booking the wrong person or paying too much for a performance. Before arranging for someone to perform, it is best to devote time to research and planning so that you ensure the event runs smoothly.
Identify Your Talent Pool
A big mistake some event planners make relates to their choice in performers. Some private event planners may feel tempted to look only at talent they personally enjoy, but doing so can hurt attendance and impact the overall success of the event. Instead, you should look into performers who will appeal to the demographics attending the event. It is also advised that you connect with other event planners who have planned similar events; asking them what kind of talent they booked, how much it cost them, and other important details can help you tailor your own talent pool.
