Description

BRIEF SUMMARYHalf the battle when researching venues for your nonprofit event is knowing the right questions to ask.  In this episode I share:Eleven questions to ask when looking at  venuesLISTENER ACTION ITEMDownload the list of 11 questions.   If you’re looking at several venues and want to make an apples-to-apples comparison, create a spreadsheet with the venue criteria that matters most to you so you can see at a glance what each venue has to offer. I call it a comparison grid.  If you’ve gone through the list of questions with a venue and you like their answers, ask them to place a hold on your preferred date.  You likely cannot make the decision on your own and will need committee or board approval.  If the approval process takes a while, make sure you stay in contact with that venue so they know you’re still interested. People will often place holds on spaces and then never follow through so make sure the venue knows you’re definitely still interested. LINKS & RESOURCESEp. 38 Show Notes
