In this episode, I pull up with Katherine Frost, returning guest on the Planners on Purpose Podcast. We discuss what is happening at ORO Planner, and also discuss how the event industry is returning post-pandemic. We also discuss some key event trends to keep an eye out for. I hope you enjoy this episode!
Lora Weaver, the founder of Happily Ever EXPO, shares how she was able to adapt her conferences during a global pandemic. Read this inspirational article on how she supported fellow events industry professionals instead of focusing on herself.
Hear CEO and Founder, Katherine Frost's take on what 2021 looks like for planners and couples alike. Listen to so some upcoming trends and how ORO can support you and your team as we gear up for another great wedding season.
As a planner you never want to make your client feel like they are spending more than necessary. Having an outline or selling strategy behind any value-add benefits will aid you in effectively communicating the value to clients.
We are kicking off a new blog series where we introduce you to a few of the key team members at ORO. First up, meet our CEO & Founder, Katherine Frost.
For all those mothers, pet-moms, boss-moms, mother-of-all-things and mother figures, this is to celebrate YOU! From the whole team at ORO, we wish you a Happy Mother’s Day Weekend!
While you may have a strong grip on your working style, learning to adapt to each client (professionally or personally) will benefit the relationship. Everyone needs something different, whether that be the nitty gritty details or the big-picture; identify what that is and use it to your advantage!
True authenticity, regardless if it is different will shine through and be noticed. If you have a vision, do not be afraid of what you are doing to get there.
Planners are anticipating corporate events to make a big comeback. While some workers are turning down five days a week in the office, conferences and meetings give people the chance to get a taste of ‘normal’ corporate life again without committing to the office Monday through Friday. In order to keep up throughout the last year and a half, corporate planners have had to get creative with events and will continue to do so as they recruit attendees post-pandemic and numbers even out again.
These exciting times are also bringing new challenges for both the wedding industry and engaged couples to navigate. Wedding planning during COVID-19 reopenings most likely means encountering an industry with limited availability: many venues and vendors are experiencing shortages as they try to accommodate the surplus of couples who the pandemic has denied the wedding of their dreams.
In this guest column, Katherine Frost of planning management software ORO shares insights for overcoming challenges brought on by the hospitality labor shortage.
