Testimonials
'‘We
contacted Events Reinvented to see if they could
help us with the marketing of our pub and
restaurant to drive more business to us. We are
located deep in the countryside between Harlow
and Epping, Essex and therefore do not get any
passing trade.
Sandra has worked with us since Spring 2011, and
has helped us to raise the profile and awareness
of our venue via local advertising, mailshot
campaigns and website promotions. She also
designed and printed a Calendar of Events to
place in these publications, and has got us into
the habit of continually planning ahead to
maximise business for key dates such as
Christmas, Easter, Mother’s Day and Bank
Holidays etc.
Sandra also suggested the idea of introducing
Cabaret Nights featuring live performers, and
these have been a great success. She handles all
the organisation of these, including auditioning
and booking of the acts, and promoting these and
our other events throughout the year.
We think we have a great venue with superb local
food, but don’t consider ourselves to be natural
“salespeople”, and never enjoyed the marketing
side of our activities. Sandra has taken this
burden away from us, carrying out all the sales
and marketing activity for us. This has brought
new ideas and great results, despite the very
challenging economic climate, and she has made a
very significant contribution to our increased
trade and turnover. She understands our business
and is a pleasure to work with, so her expertise
comes highly recommended."

'‘We
approached Events Reinvented in the spring of
2012 to assist us in the marketing of our
portfolio of 24 self catering holiday cottages
in Kilchoan on the Ardnamurchan Peninsula in
Scotland. Marketing is not our forte, so we were
seeking some innovative ways to increase
occupancy.
We have been working closely with Sandra ever
since, and she has been a true inspiration! Her
knowledge of our industry coupled with her
diligent research into the most relevant and
highest profile websites to promote our business
has been invaluable, and this has really helped
us to maximise our bookings. Her knowledge and
experience of e-marketing techniques is
outstanding.
Sandra seeks out and evaluates any advertising
opportunities, weeding out those that appear to
deliver poor results and often negotiating
significant discounts on our behalf for the ones
she does recommend, and this has even resulted
in some free publicity on occasion . Sandra has
set up an extremely efficient and effective
system for us to monitor and follow up all of
our enquiries, and this has highlighted the
benefit of doing so, as we have subsequently
realised that many potential bookings were lost
in the past, simply because we didn’t have the
systems and resource to follow up every enquiry.
Since Events Reinvented started working with us,
we never miss a lead or sales opportunity and
the positive impact on our bookings has been
dramatic. We would happily recommend Events
Reinvented to anyone wishing to increase their
business in the holiday lettings sector, as
their knowledge of this market and ability to
deliver cost effective results has been
impressive."

'‘The
Hotel was looking for a sales and marketing
resource to raise our profile in the local
corporate market and we were recommended to
Events Reinvented.
The Hotel was needing to grow its revenue in a
tough economic climate, without increasing
headcount and committing spend for recruitment.
Events Reinvented were able to offer a flexible
solution.
They supplied an experienced and proven sales
and marketing professional from the hotel
industry who worked for us 2 days per week and
dealt with all aspects of sales and local
marketing. This resulted in a marked increase in
revenue as they were able to attract both new
clients and secure additional business from
existing and lapsed clients. They were also able
to assist with RFPs and online tender bids as
well as management of third party hotel booking
websites’

‘We
were specifically interested in developing our
weekend leisure business. We decided to
introduce weekend events including Tribute
Nights, Murder Mystery Evenings and Dinner
Dances. Events Reinvented designed and produced
a high impact, original and creative Calendar of
Events and suggested and executed different ways
of promoting these events via websites and
advertising together with design of display
banners and flyers.
The initiative was a resounding success with a
typical night attracting 150 pax resulting in
increased weekend overnight accommodation
bookings and a considerable increase in bar
spend. This had a knock on effect by raising our
profile in the local area and we have seen an
increase in wedding and private party bookings.
Following this success we also commissioned
Events Reinvented to design our literature to
promote our Leisure Club and new Health and
Beauty Salon’

'The
Hotel was lacking in sales experience and
culture and we approached Events Reinvented to
find out if they could offer assistance with
this. Their sales and marketing consultant
worked with us over a 15 month period training
up Front of House staff in reservation handling,
conference enquiry handling, third party website
management and proactive telesales.
They also designed our collateral and dealt with
local marketing including newspaper advertising,
wedding fairs and restaurant promotions.
Their success, professionalism and service
delivery exceeded our expectations’

'Events
Reinvented booked Tony Hadley through Blueprint
Management to perform at a private event in the
South of France. They dealt professionally with
all aspects of the booking including transport,
accommodation, sound systems and lighting.

' We
were contacted by Events Reinvented who were
searching for a venue to hold a 50th Birthday
Celebration for approx 50 guests for a high net
worth client.
They visited a number of venues in Provence and
were very thorough in the selection of a
property to meet with their clients' demanding
specification with regard to location, outdoor
facilities and contingency planning in the event
of bad weather. We were delighted when Chateau
de la Loubiere was chosen as the venue.
Although their clients were very exacting in
their requirements, Events Reinvented dealt with
the organisation of the event in a very
professional manner, with several on-site visits
and good communication from the UK, arranging on
and off site accommodation, transportation,
lighting, sound systems and catering and bar
facilities. The headline act for the evening was
Tony Hadley, of Spandau Ballet. Events
Reinvented dealt with Mr Hadley and his
management and took care of all his requirements
for the event whilst he was in France.
Up until that time we had not hosted such a
complex event but the professionalism of the
Events Reinvented team made it easy. We
developed a great rapport, which resulted in it
being a memorable event for everyone, and an
extremely happy client. We were thrilled to be a
part of it and would have no hesitation in
recommending them to anyone considering holding
a similar event either in the UK or abroad.
Since then we have worked with Events Reinvented
on other events and also on our new website
content.
It was a pleasure to work with Events Reinvented
and we would be delighted to do so again’

'Following our recent
Strategic Planning Conference, I thought I
should let you know how pleased I was with the
outcome of the event. You interpreted my needs
exactly, and as a result of your excellent
choice of venue and careful planning, the
Conference was an outstanding success. The
themed evening dinner provided a great ice
breaker for all the delegates, who enjoyed it
immensely. Please be assured that we will
definitely be using the services of Events
Reinvented in the future '

I have had

When seeking to expand our destination-focused

to recommend them to anyone needing effective
revenue-driving strategies and on-the-ground
execution’
