If you’ve seen an episode or two of Bravo’s Million Dollar Listing, you know that they can throw some extravagant open house parties. Of course, when your commission is $100,000 or so you can afford to throw an expensive party. Venues rarely, if ever, have the opportunity to clear that kind of profit from an event, especially in today’s competitive market. Events themselves have not slacked, but have remained steady to an upward trend, according to an article published by Special Events. They went on to say that the number increases by 90 percent for in-house event planners. They also stated that this year’s outlook for business/corporate events is “robust” while social/private event revenues are expected to increase, but not at the pace of the business and corporate events. 

They delved further into the challenges that will affect event revenues. The number one challenge facing in-house event planners is reduced client budgets, followed by demonstrating the value of special events, shorter lead times and lack of skilled labor. How can McCourt Manufacturing help you tackle some of these challenges?  Let’s take a look at two of them.
