Top Tips to Maximise Your Event Template Game |
Personalise to Perfection
Templates are a solid starting point, but don't be shy about giving them your unique flair. Customise them to match your client's style, requirements, and specific goals. Think of templates as your trusty guide, not a rigid rulebook.
With iVvy, your event templates have the option to generate information including:  - Event sessions/functions - including location (if known) start & end times, fixed or dynamic venue hire rates - Food menus and beverage packages - inclusive of selections (if known) - Resources - Products - Set up requirements
|
Setting Your Inclusions
Templates often include broader sections for pricing, menus, and sessions - and the more event information you can input to customise your templates, the more time and effort you’ll save.
With iVvy, you can choose from two basic event templates: simple and detailed. Simple event templates are more suitable for smaller events and are restricted to only one session and one event/function room. Detailed event templates can contain multiple sessions and multiple function rooms, making them better suited to larger events like conferences or corporate events. From this point, you will then be able to delve into your event specifics, including;
 - Minimum and maximum pax- Sale price method (per-person or flat rate) - Option to reduce room hire - Cost per person - Whether the event template is commissionable - If this event template needs to have sessions/functions - Default space (e.g. a wedding will be held in a chapel) - Small and large descriptions - Option to publish your event on iVvy Marketplace (optional start time slots can be added) |
