5. Taxand Brand Centre www.taxand.com/brandcentre Username: TaxandBrandCentre Password: LivingtheBrand Timing: For an audience of 30 to 40 delegates the Save-the-Date should be sent at least 8 weeks before the event; the first wave of invitations should go at least 6 weeks before the event; the invitations should be sent from the client relationship owner Venue & Catering: Book an appropriate venue, with the right amount of space and excellent catering – it pays to get it right as many will remember bad food above anything else! Targeting: Make sure the programme is designed to attract the decision-makers – consider conducting an interesting survey across Taxanders in advance to be shared with delegates; stagger your invitations to make sure you get a final audience of key players across industry sectors Speakers: pick strong public speakers and make sure they rehearse! Please see speaker guidelines on the Taxand Brand Centre: www.taxand.com/brandcentre Bespoke client meetings: Add value to your clients by setting up bespoke meetings with Taxander speakers to discuss specific client needs – hold them on the afternoon of the event Network: Assign Taxander speaker hosts to specific delegates on the day Status report: Annotate client business cards on the day and record their areas of interest in a Taxand status report template (visit www.taxand.com/brandcentre).. then follow up (see final bullet below) Online delegate pack: send to global marketing lsandland@taxand.com to publish on taxand.com and the taxanderportal.com and potentially use the material for PR purposes; also send a communication across Taxand encouraging Taxanders to send the information to clients; upload to websites etc. Follow up: Send follow up emails with the online delegate pack link to no shows; those that were invited but couldn’t attend; and send tailored emails with an evaluation survey (for templates visit www.taxand.com/brandcentre) to those on the status report and add them to Taxand’s Take and other newsletter mailing lists. Keep following up at regular intervals to close the potential lead. Keep the status report updated to measure ROI Events Best Practice 4 3 Events Guidelines
