The Eventi Difference
We’re often asked (usually whilst in the middle of a sales pitch) what makes us different from all the other directories out there, and if you’ve been with us since this time last year, you’ll know I’ve said it before. But just for the ones in the back, I’ll say it one more time!
We’re the newest one-stop platform for all your event needs. From caterers, photographers, venues, makeup artists, transport, bakers, party box makers, entertainment, activities, decorators, to even the perfect party planner, we’ve got you sorted.
Not only do we think Eventi is pretty cool, but the feedback we’ve received from dozens of party planners over the last six months has been all the reinforcement we need to push forward into our next phase.
As most of you who know me will know, I’m a sharer. I’m blunt, to the point, transparent, and you’ll usually know exactly where you stand with me (and for those who haven’t figured it out yet – yep, it’s Britt writing this! lol). I bring that same approach into how I run the business. I over-analyse, I make sure we’re putting our best foot forward, and I work hard to ensure we’re always a little better than we were the day before.
That said, I like to think I’m also compassionate, empathetic, and good at reading a room. That’s how we approach new businesses joining Eventi. We keep it real, honest, and we take the time to understand the businesses who want to list with us – to make sure it’s actually a good fit.
From day one, I was determined to make Eventi an affordable advertising platform. I wanted it to be just as accessible for the mum baking cakes down the road as it is for a nationwide hotel chain. (SkyCity – if you’re reading this, you haven’t signed up yet. I’ve emailed. A few times. Let’s chat soon? 😉)
So, essentially – Eventi is a space for everyone. And while you might be thinking, “How can a small business of one compete with a nationwide brand?” – here’s the thing: every person, every event is different. What works for one party planner might be totally overpriced or in the wrong city for another. For every pot, there’s a lid!
Eventi was built to serve the masses because we understand event vendors and party planners. People are our business.
If you’ve been following us from the start, you’ll have seen a consistent theme in our marketing: we’re relationship-focused, not sales-focused. I won’t go on about it here – I’ve touched on it in other posts; but if you’re new, check out a few of our past blogs and you’ll get the gist.
And that – in a nutshell – is our key difference. Eventi stands out because we’re creating a community for event service providers all across Aotearoa, while also offering a simple, centralised platform for planners to find exactly what they need.
So if you’ve read this far and are curious about joining, or listing your event service business with us, please do get in touch! I’ll be the first to tell you if I think it’ll work or not (though let’s be real, we can usually make just about anything work here). I’m always happy to jump on a video call, phone call, or meet for coffee – because around here, coffee is worth scheduling an appointment for. And if we happen to sign you up to Eventi at the same time? Even better.
Our next outreach focus is on the Manawatū and Napier/Hawke’s Bay regions. We’d love to welcome more brilliant local businesses to the Eventi family so that those planning summer events, weddings, and work functions can find and book you with ease!
Until next time you amazing Eventi crew!
