Pros

  • Hands-on oversight of execution of a virtual event and client success management
  • Connecting event industry professionals with companies in need of their services
  • Highlighting services that an event industry professional or company offers

Cons

  • Making the platform/software more functional overall so the majority of negotiating/contracting/invoicing can easily happen all in one place.
  • Drawing in more leads for vendors, or offering support to vendors to teach them how to attract more leads. We don't see much traffic to our listing at all.
  • Making it simpler for companies to do business together internationally. We had some issues with fees getting eaten up from converting currencies and went back and forth for a while trying to figure out how we'd accept payment from a client.
  • Streamlining communication overall and making it possible for multiple team members to get email notifications about communication happening on the platform.

Most Important Features

  • Advertising our services to relevant companies/brands on their online marketplace

Return on Investment

  • We were able to get repeat business from a new client brought to us by Planned
  • We were able to learn more about what types of virtual event services we'd like to grow as a business, as a result of working with Planned
  • We have not seen a financial ROI for our business yet because we have only worked with one client on the platform and it has been costly for us to accommodate this client

Great Help for a Team!

Pros

  • Offers best suppliers

  • Quick and great service

Cons

  • The platform can use some tweaking (i.e.: when reserving hotels, adding guest rooms, including meeting rooms - instead of just spaces, which can be confusing when searching).

Most Important Features

  • They are a preferred vendor.
  • They have a large assortment to choose from.

Return on Investment

  • Positive impact as they save us LOTS of time.
