Chapter 1: Overview of the Business
Event Planning:
Event planning is the process of managing a project such as a meeting, convention, tradeshow,
ceremony, team building activity, party, or convention. Event planning includes budgeting, establishing
timelines, selecting and reserving the event sites, acquiring permits, planning food, coordinating
transportation, developing a theme, arranging for activities, selecting speakers and keynotes, arranging
for equipment and facilities, managing risk, and developing contingency plans.
Key aspects of Event Planning include:
1-User-Friendly Interface
A user-friendly interface ensures that event organizers can quickly and easily navigate
the event management system and access its features.
2-Budget and Financial Management Capabilities
Managing event budgets and finances can be daunting, but with the right event
management app features, it doesn't have to be. Your software should offer robust
budget and financial management capabilities according to the needs and complexities of
event planning.
3-Event Promotion and Marketing Tools
Effective promotion and marketing are key to driving attendance and maximizing event
ROI in the competitive event planning landscape. As such, your event management app
should come equipped with effective promotion and marketing tools designed to boost
event visibility and attract the right audience.

CHAPTER 3
Market Analysis:
Market Overview:
If there is a market for your intended event, then do market analysis. Market Analysis means finding
information about your target audience. Find out who are your target audience i.e. there age group, sex,
qualification, profession, knowledge level, income, status, likings, disliking, personality, customs,
traditions, religion, lifestyle etc
Opportunities:
2. Lack of creativity
Events are supposed to be fun! Even work-related events are meant to be engaging and informative. If there is
no creativity put into the event planning process, it will show. Picture a school prom without a theme, a
wedding without a playlist, or a Halloween party without costumes. An uninspired event will bore attendees,
and the only chatter will be about how dull the experience was. To avoid this, consider holding brainstorm
sessions. Gather team members and discuss their favorite things about events they’ve attended. Come up with
ideas that can be applied to your event and use input from your team to create fresh ideas.
3. Budgeting
Budgeting is definitely one of the most difficult pieces of the event planning process. Planning and paying as
you go will often get you into financial hot water, and can cause you to either go way over budget, or be forced
to slash line items in order to stay on track. To avoid this happening, there are several things you can do. Get
quotes in writing from vendors, along with an end date for the pricing. Locking in pricing can help a great deal,
and planning in advance using quotes can allow you to have your budget and event mapped out prior to
actually spending the money. This careful planning can help you avoid nasty surprises and expenses.
Challenges:
10
Budgeting is the number one most challenging aspect of event planning, according to
experienced event professionals in this recent survey. So if this is something you’re
concerned about, you certainly aren’t alone
11
PESTEL ANALYSIS:
Political:
Government regulations and policies can impact the demand for event planning services.
International laws and regulations may affect the cross-border operations of event
planning company.
Economic:
Social:
Increasing awareness of managing events threats among individuals and businesses creates
opportunities for event planning firms to educate and provide tailored solutions.
Social trends such as remote work and BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) policies
necessitate driving demand for event services.
Technological:
Rapid advancements in technology introduce new hampers, décor challenges and opportunities
for firms to offer innovative solutions.
Emerging technologies such as AI, Flipperzero, Raspberry-Pi,RFID r/w and blockchain can be
leveraged by Radhey Krishna Events to enhance capabilities.
Environmental:
Environmental factors may have indirect impacts on events, such as natural disasters
disrupting business operations and increasing vulnerability
12
Legal:
Compliance with data protection laws and regulations such as GDPR, CCPA, and industry-specific
regulations is crucial for businesses, driving the need for consultancy services to ensure compliance.
Legal implications of events incidents, such as transport, labour, highlight the importance of
proactive events measures.
SWOT Analysis:
Strengths:
An experienced event planning team is a significant strength for any event. These individuals
bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to the table. They understand the complexities of
event planning, including logistics, vendor relationships, and attendee engagement. Their
experience allows for smoother coordination and problem-solving, contributing to the overall
success of the event
Maintaining strong, long-term relationships with vendors is invaluable. These relationships are
built on trust and reliability. Event planners with established vendor connections often benefit
from cost savings, preferred services, and a streamlined planning process. Vendors familiar
with your team’s expectations can deliver top-quality results, reducing the likelihood of last-
minute issues.
Weaknesses:
Limited Budget:
13
Budget constraints can be a significant challenge in event planning. A limited budget may
restrict your ability to invest in essential event elements, such as marketing, technology, or
guest speakers. To address this weakness, event planners must carefully allocate funds, seek
cost-effective solutions, and explore sponsorship opportunities to make the most of available
resources.
An inexperienced event planning team may lack the in-depth knowledge and skills required for
effective planning. This weakness can result in inefficiencies, mismanagement, and overlooked
details. To address this, consider investing in training and mentorship for the team or hiring
Tight timelines can create a sense of urgency and pressure in the planning
process. The weakness lies in the limited time available for thorough preparation
and adjustments. Event planners dealing with tight timelines must carefully
prioritize tasks, delegate responsibilities, and adopt efficient project management
practices to meet deadlines.
Adequate marketing resources are essential for reaching and engaging your
target audience. A weakness in marketing resources can result in reduced event
visibility and attendance. Event planners with limited marketing budgets should
focus on cost-effective marketing strategies, social media.

Opportunities:
Adopting the latest event management software, virtual event platforms, and interactive tools
can enhance attendee engagement and overall event experience. Leveraging emerging
The opportunity to engage diverse audiences is a key advantage. Event planners can design
inclusive programs that cater to a wide range of interests, backgrounds, and demographics.
Offering diverse session formats, languages, and accessibility features can attract a broader
Threats:
▸ Competing Events:
The proliferation of events in various industries can be a significant threat. Competing events may
draw attendees away, leading to reduced attendance and competition for sponsorships. Event
planners must monitor competing events, differentiate their offerings, and choose event dates
carefully.
▸ Technology Challenges:
While technology offers opportunities, it also poses threats. Technical issues, such as platform
failures, connectivity problems, or cybersecurity threats, can disrupt virtual or hybrid events. Event

for our event planning services will be determined based on factors such as the scope of the project, the
complexity of the client's infrastructure, and the level of support required. We offer flexible pricing models,
including:
Group packages
Group ticket pricing attracts larger groups where an entire team is planning to attend rather than one individual
person. Offering a group rate incentivizes larger companies to save money on tickets by paying for a package
deal. Depending on the size of your event you can provide more than one type of group package. Offer one
group rate for a group of five and offer another for a group of six or more. Pricing group packages by business
size helps increase the chances of ticket sales.

Chapter 5
Logistics & Operations Plan:
Supply Chain
Supply Chain Event Management (SCEM) primarily manages critical events across a supply chain. It
provides needed visibility into the processes to proactively act in exceptional circumstances that can
potentially lead to disruptions. Therefore, supply chain event management is the key to optimizing
logistics performance.
Supply Chain Event Management solutions help businesses manage and track the real-time location of
inventory or shipments across the supply chain. Having access to this real-time information is critical because
it helps analyze how certain events can impact the production schedule at a plant or arrival of the cargo at the
destination and customer awaited deliveries. Thus, advanced SCEM solutions can let companies monitor,
evaluate and plan proactively to address potential delays and better manage supply chain performance. This
visibility into the workings of an extended supply chain can mean better control over logistics processes and is
a key driver of building resilient and agile global supply chain networks.
Inventory Management:
Equipment shows wear and tear over time, even if it is high-quality items. Your tracking system
should log the frequency of use and state of each item so that maintenance or refurbishment can be
done timeously to prevent non-delivery or the procurement of unnecessary equipment. The
tracking system should inform the maintenance schedule to ensure the longest possible asset life
cycle.
No matter how prudently inventory is managed, some equipment damage and loss will occur from
time to time. An effective tracking system will contain an accurate inventory list with all relevant
details per piece of equipment to ensure the insurance process can be followed effectively. This
will save money as the insurance will cover damages, and equipment does not have to be procured
from the budget.
21
Customer Service
1. Accept both good and bad feedback, and then act on both
If you’re in customer service, you’re likely already aware of how readily customers will provide feedback.
This means that when guests offer their perspective, it’s an easy win to simply listen (and actually listen).
Repeat the information to them, so they know they’ve been heard, and then ensure that the feedback is
delivered to the team member who needs to hear it.
Further, you need to ask for information through surveys, reviews, and personalized emails. Inquiring about a
guest’s experience is an excellent way to get feedback and create a touchpoint. Imagine how delighted a
customer will feel to see that their suggestions were considered and that your business has adjusted based on
their feedback.
2. Reward loyalty
These days, nearly every business has some kind of rewards or loyalty program, so to really stand out, you
need to offer something different. Personalizing the rewards is a great way to start. If you’re maintaining a
solid CRM database, keeping track of a customer’s preferences is essential and an excellent tool to reward their
loyalty. Rather than doling out points, send them a gift basket with their favorite products or a gift card for
their favorite service. It’s a small touch that differentiates you from all the other points-based loyalty programs
out there.

CHAPTER 6
Financial Plan:
As we delve into the financial intricacies of Radhey Krishna Event Planner venture into the realm, it's
imperative to delineate a comprehensive roadmap that aligns with our vision, values, and objectives. This
chapter serves as a guiding beacon, shedding light on the revenue generation strategies, meticulous cost
management approaches, and strategic investments in growth to fortify our position as a formidable event
planning firm.
Revenue Generation:
Revenues represent money coming into an organization, resulting from an exchange of goods
or services. On an income statement, revenues are referred to as the top line because of their
location on the income statement -- typically on the statement's first line. They are a key
determinant of an event's potential financial success. Although high revenues do not
necessarily guarantee financial success, they represent the cornerstone or the pathway toward
a more profitable event. Event organizers should understand their available revenue streams
and determine where they will focus their revenue generation efforts for upcoming events. This
section provides a listing of common revenue streams.
1. Sell Sponsorships
This is a great way not only to generate extra revenue for your event. Plus, you can get
discounts and free stuff from your sponsors to give out to your attendees as a gift.
You don't have to go after large corporations. These sponsorships can be difficult to get,
especially for smaller events. That's why you should be going after small businesses, be they
local or online.
2. Sell Ad Space
This one comes in many forms, and to make it easy to understand here’s a quick list of ad space
you can sell:
23
Allow advertisers to buy an opportunity to include something (brochure, flier, free
sample, etc.) in your attendee gift bag.
Sell ad space on the event website.
Sell ad space inside the event program/schedule booklet. But really, don’t limit
yourself to this. Sell ad space in anything printed that goes out to the masses.
Sell ad space for company logos on the event banner. Don’t have one? Get one and
let ad revenue pay for itself.
Sell ad space on volunteer/staff T-shirts.
If you can print on it or hang a sign on it, sell ad space on it. Make it pay for itself.
For example, large individual room schedules. Sell “sponsored by” space on them .
24
Cost Management:
1. Staffing: Allocating a substantial portion of the budget towards recruiting top-tier professionals with
diverse expertise and industry certifications. This includes choreographers, decorators, management
and photographers.
2. Technology Infrastructure: Investing in cutting-edge event tools and software solutions to enhance
our capabilities in threat detection, analysis, and mitigation. This encompasses firewall systems,
intrusion detection/prevention systems, endpoint protection, SIEM platforms, and threat intelligence
feeds.
3. Marketing: Implementing a targeted marketing strategy to raise brand awareness and attract clients.
This includes digital marketing campaigns, participation in industry conferences and events, as well
as forging strategic partnerships with other organizations in the events ecosystem.
4. Operational Expenses: Budgeting for day-to-day operational costs such as office space rental,
utilities, insurance, legal fees, and software subscriptions essential for running event planning
business smoothly.
25
On the X-axis (horizontal), the number of units is shown, and on the Y-axis
(vertical), a dollar amount is presented.
The blue line in the graph represents total fixed costs amounting to $
1000,000. The line of the fixed costs is straight as the fixed cost remains
unchanged irrespective of the number of units sold by the company.
The green line represents revenue from the Events. For example, selling
10,000 units of the flowers would generate a revenue of $ 1,200,000 (10,000 x
$ 120) for the company, and selling 8,000 units of the flowers would generate
a revenue of $ 960,000 (8,000 x $120).
The red line represents the total costs, i.e., the sum of the fixed costs and the
variable costs. Like in the present case, if a company sells the 0 units, then the
variable cost of the company would be $ 0, but the fixed costs will be incurred
in that case also so the fixed cost would be $ 1000,000, making the total costs
to $ 1000,000. Now, if a company sells 10,000 units, then the variable cost of
the company would be $ 200,000 (10,000 x $20), and the fixed costs would be
$ 1000,000, making the total costs to $ 1,200,000.
As calculated above the breakeven point of the company is at the 10,000
units. At breakeven point, revenue of the company would be $ 1,200,000
(10,000 x $ 120), the variable costs would be $ 200,000 (10,000 x 2) and the
fixed costs would be $ 1,000,000 making the total cost of $ 1,200,000 ($
200,000 + $ 1,000,000).
26
Analysis
Now, when the number of units sold exceeds the breakeven point of 10,000 units,
then RADHEY KRISHNA EVENT PLANNER would be making profits on the goods
sold. As per the chart, when the green line of the revenue is greater than the total
costs red line after the 10,000 units produced and sold, then RADHEY KRISHNA
EVENT PLANNER would be making profits on the goods sold. Likewise, in case the
number of units sold is below 10,000 units, then the company would be in loss. As
per the chart, 0-9,999 units produced and sold total costs red line is above the
green total revenue line where the company would be in loss
27
ESTIMATED NET PROFIT FROM THIS STARTUP AFTER ALL EXPENSES:
