What is the platform you are a partner with? I am working on planning a gala and looking for platform options. Thanks for your help!!
Hi Erin! Mary here. I partner with both Greater Giving and Auctria and highly recommend them both. Feel free to send us an email at bettereventspod@gmail.com if you have more questions about the platforms and we'd love to know which one you end up selecting!
Great Episode Mary and Logan! What a fantastic year you both have had!! 👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks Mary.😔 Actually, we usually have quite a spread of food on the table and we each share what we are thankful for! Sooo, that’s a family Thanksgiving tradition, right?!! 😉 your mom Good Luck with your 2024 Better Events Conference!!!
Your videos are very good and your editing skills are excellent, but your videos are not reaching many people. The main reason for this is that your videos are not SEO optimized. I am a RUclips video SEO expert and would like to optimize your videos. "And I would like to help move forward with monetizing your RUclips channel." ar you interested in this?
This nice .. I just moved to the uk for my masters program and am trying to break into the event industry.. have got lots of experience from back home but it’s seems difficult here .
Thank you for watching! Hope this helps!
What travelers notebook are you using Logan? I heard that idea on the podcast and RAN here to see what you were using!!
Thank you! I love it and got the leather outside from Etsy a few years ago. It came with the bands inside to hold notebooks and then I order the refills/colored notebooks from Amazon. Let me see if I can drop the links in here:
Notebook looks like the Etsy seller is taking a break but it's worn really nicely and A5 size if you order from another vendor: www.etsy.com/shop/SilverPlumeLeather?campaign_label=proteus_shipping_guest_buyer_notification_q4_treatment_v2&email_sent=1591396238&euid=V8rMGs9BpohO_LfU2ErDyjAY7RQh&eaid=782515525&x_eaid=d57718b62e
Here's the notebooks that I insert/get refills of for different events/clients: amzn.to/3WFFcBz
I love the bop and I can't believe that was made with AI. Crazy!
Right? It's so silly but a fun thing to think about for making quick event-related tunes!
Loved this Podcast! So Fun! 🎵❤🎵 Happy Summer!! Happy 4th of July!! Go Logan and Mary!!!
Excellent Information Mary! 👍🏻👍🏻
Great insights on growing event businesses! Mary and Logan shared contrasting approaches, really helpful in weighing the decision to hire. Their discussion on pros and cons was spot on!
Enjoyed this Podcast! Thank you all!
Great topic - Great Podcast
The Golf Cart comment. 😂 Enjoyed her breaking down the generations. *I’m a baby boomer and raised 3 millennials!!!
This was really helpful , thanks guys!
Hey guys , just came across your channel looking for some inspiration, I overviewed your entire channel you have been hustling on this channel from more than two years with not such a great reach to audiences, but hats off to your perseverance you are still putting out content regardless, I have huge respect for your channel. I am going to check out each and every video on this channel that just in my capacity to support you guys! Love from India 🇮🇳
Thank you! This was so useful. I was feeling overwhelmed and your tips have really helped me
Great Episode Mary and Logan!!! 👍🏻👍🏻 Excited for 2024 🎉
👏🏻👏🏻
I am Blue Dove Events and I do Community Vendor Events. Just started this year. I can't seem to figure out how to make money. Lol! :)
sweet
You two are Awesome and So Fun😊😊to Listen to each week!!
Enjoyed~ really nice - see you later!:)
Thank you, Mary & Logan!!!
Mary/Logan, This was an excellent interview and pod cast.
Thanks Hal!
We hosted a couple this weekend and were in charge of “keeping them busy” for the weekend. So, it was pretty much like a small event or a small gathering. I noticed that one was very chatty ~ and perhaps nervous, and therefore talked & talked. This became exhausting to be around after a short time and began to interfere with our plans. You mentioned in this podcast that some attendees bring with them “high energy” and “their experiences.” How do you steer them “nicely” away from monopolizing the time and still be friends when the weekend is over?! And listening to others thoughts & ideas, too?!! *Thanks for this fun episode!!
Congratulations! 🎉🥳👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Great episode!
How wonderful to see and hear from this great group of event planning professionals!!! Well DONE!!! You could feel the excitement!!!
You two are awesome 👏👏 !!! So appreciate your podcast!!!
Great episode! But isn't this last week's title 🙂? Happy New Year and here's to many more! 🎉❤️
thank you so much for this! definitely a right word for this season in my life
I really appreciate your insights. It's making more and more sense to me coming from my experience as an actress/dancer/performer, also stage managing and running lighting for live theater, there's allot in me that draws me to this work! Planning but realizing you'll likely need to change; staying cool under pressure; I also have an innate ability to see the humor in just about everything while being able to tell what is totally serious about stuff that is imperative. I'm also hyperlexic/ASD so I'm a whiz at seeing patterns and reading the room. Thanks so much for this!
Everyone needs to update their headshots! 😁Thanks for a great conversation on networking
Enjoyed listening very much!
Happy to hear it, thanks for listening Rose!
Great podcast!! I love the practical information I can use today.
Great episode! Looking forward to keeping up with this company!
