      Secrets your vendors don’t want you to know

                                                                215.300.5112
Before the event


• Book a location during slow months: September through November, January
  through early April


• Consider lower cost alternative locations


• Breakfast and lunch events are most cost effective


• Food stations instead of plated




                                    www.bestpracticefundraising.com
Before the event


• Book entertainment far in advance


• Consider alternative entertainment (ipod, junior talent)


• Select "in season" floral items


• Personalize and create unique centerpieces




                                     www.bestpracticefundraising.com
During the event


• Create sign templates that you can personalize year after year


• Cost saving ambience: red carpet, creative lighting, pipe and drape


• Enlist local art schools


• Don’t forget you are tax exempt—sometimes venues can mistakenly add
  taxes to your bill




                                    www.bestpracticefundraising.com
During the event


• Enlist volunteer manpower for logistics (sports teams, halfway houses)


• Buy reusable name tags that guests can leave behind as they exit


• Have auction consignment? Get savings with their leftover items


• Solicit local luxury car companies to underwrite valet parking
