Why Bespoke Planning Makes a Difference

Planning Your Next Corporate Retreat

1. The problem with organising an event yourself

When an organisation designs and pays for its own event, the costs can end up being treated as an ordinary business expense that ultimately reduces the organisation’s profits.

That means the event budget comes directly out of the client’s bottom line.

For event planners, this can make it harder to demonstrate the true value of an event. Particularly when the client is looking at the cost rather than the wider business purpose.

2. FunEvents.com changes the way you can structure the event

FunEvents.com event planners are able to build a complete event package around the organisation’s requirements.

Depending on the organisation, the purpose of the event and the applicable tax rules, there may be opportunities for qualifying elements of the event to receive different tax treatment.

The important point is that tax qualification isn’t automatic, as the event and expenditure need to meet the relevant rules, and organisations should take professional tax advice where appropriate.

3. Make the event work harder for the client

Rather than simply selling a standalone activity, planners can create an experience that combines:

The event itself

Accommodation

Activities and experiences

Transfers

Flights

Other relevant travel arrangements

This gives the planner a much more complete proposition to take to the client.

4. Add flights and turn a local event into a global experience

One particularly powerful feature is the ability to add flights to the package.

Instead of thinking:

“We’re organising an event somewhere locally.”

The proposition can become:

“We’re creating a complete global event experience.”

A planner could potentially coordinate the journey from the client’s departure point through to the destination, accommodation, event and return journey, (all as part of one overall itinerary).

That opens up possibilities for international conferences, incentive trips, team experiences and destination events.

5. A bigger proposition for the event planner

For the event planner, this can mean moving beyond simply arranging an event.

You’re creating a complete, bookable experience.

That gives you more opportunities to add value, simplify the client’s planning process and create an event that feels considerably more substantial than something the organisation could simply arrange internally.

6. The simple takeaway

The argument for using FunEvents.com is straightforward:

Why build and manage everything yourself when you can create a complete event package that may offer different tax treatment, while also giving the client a much bigger experience?

For event planners, adding flights is another major advantage. It means the itinerary isn’t limited to a local event. The beauty is that it can become a global travel and event experience, opening the door to destinations and experiences around the world.

Therefore…

FunEvents.com isn’t just about booking an event. It’s about building the complete experience from the flight to the destination, from the hotel to the activity, and from a simple event to a memorable global experience.
