“Plans are nothing. Planning is everything.” – Albert Einstein
Event management is rather a very creative job to accomplish. And in order to bring out the creative side, the friendship with the trending technology is very necessary. The success of any event is highly dependent on the time management because if one section took longer than usual to complete the task, then the next section will be delayed and the trail continues.
If you are an event management company, then focus on automation and cut short the unwanted employments. A smart technology itself can handle multiple jobs with no delay, thus reducing the manpower and chaos in coordination.
Sarv.com is one such smart solution provider with a single, seamless & unique platform with interwoven services. Through this write-up, I'll try to cover all the pains of this industry and the solution to every single one of them.

Similar to the contact list preparations, flowcharts can also be easily prepared on this same platform. The additional benefit here is the automation.

Invitation Cards can be distributed via multiple options. In our daily lives, we notice that e-cards are the most popular format of sharing an invitation. So basically, there are multiple ways to distribute invitations apart from the traditional Paper Card. Most of all you will save your time by sending the invitations almost instantly as compared to the traditional paper cards which take days to be delivered. So, let's discuss the types of Invitation Cards:
E-Cards
Email platform will be helpful here. Choose the design which matches your theme and prepare the cards according to your creativity. You can use the already designed templates in the platform or you can customize the design if you have the designing ability (you may hire a designer too for this purpose).
Voice-Cards/SMS Cards
This is one of the most simple and quick methods with which you can send invitations to thousands of people within minutes with assured responses. The Key Input tool will further help you note the number of people attending the event along with those who will think of attending or will not attend the event.
Paper Invitation Cards
This is the traditional invitation process where your invitation message will be printed on paper and posted to the given address. This is the slowest process of all as it takes days to finally deliver the invitation. Apart from this, sometimes you need to call personally to your guests as well to confirm their attendance. But you can also use this type of invitation as well to appear fancy.

Once you have the data, arrange another process accordingly.

To conclude event in itself is a very big task to be started and completed. It needs a full dedicated team to handle any events and a full packed schedule without minutes wasted. Managers are required to run the team and team members are required to operate all the ground-level tasks.
