From Shelf to Spotlight: The Revival of Everyday Experiential
There are planners out there for literally everything under the sun… annual planners, weekly ones, planners for happiness, meals and recipes, business development, mindfulness, and the list goes on ad nauseam.
Know what’s missing?
A planner for event experiences.
For five years I’ve quietly dreamed of coming up with the perfect product to help you navigate planning event experiences, and I am super excited that it’s officially ready for market! Cue the confetti!
In 2020 when I launched the Everyday Experiential online course, I was dedicated to providing small business owners with a roadmap for how to make their brand experiences better… but we all know what happened in 2020. I guess it turned out to be a good thing, because I also knew there had to be a better way to deliver heavy hitting tips faster and to a broader audience. The course quietly closed down and the ideation continued behind the scenes.
The Experience Planner That Almost Wasn’t: A Story of Second Chances
Since the inception of this brand, I’ve shared tips and tricks via YouTube and insightful musings through monthly blogs, but nothing to actually get you from point A to point B. After shutting down the course, I pivoted to bottling those concepts and developing a planner. Pandemic-era supply chain bottlenecks (and life in general) put a damper on a physical product, but over the last few years people have still asked me here & there if I ever have plans of bringing it back. Spoiler alert - I didn’t. During COVID, Everyday Experiential had also become my farewell letter to my first career love (the event industry), and I felt like I had fully stepped into a new stage of life that didn’t support this mission. Still, I offered advice to friends and family behind the scenes and many people to this day equate my area of expertise to bringing people together in ways that hit home.
Now, the winds have changed and I’m feeling pulled back to the mission of meaningful interactions in person. As a result of that pull, I’ve digitized the planner to make it easily accessible and compatible with notation apps like Goodnotes and Notability. It’s jam packed with helpful tips, scientific research on how to make your event hit your guests in the feels, and guided pages to get you through every stage of your planning process, from the time you have your idea to the time the last guest leaves the building and beyond. On May 1st, the digital planner will officially be available for purchase, just in time for planning your summer soirees. This planner, like all things Everyday Experiential, is a labor of love and a personal project that I sincerely hope brings you ease in planning as well as a new zest for meaningful, person-person interactions. What can I say? Quality time will always be my love language.
This year, I’ve got plans to slowly revive all the elements that have lay in wait like blog posts (monthly at minimum), an updated color palette, merch and links to my favorite items to have on hand like gaffe tape, and even a membership community where you’ll have ongoing access to exclusive content.
As we gear up to dust this thing off, I’m offering a free infographic to get you started with some basic “golden ratios” when you sign up to be notified about launch. Get excited! Whether your event is big or small, your time spent in analysis paralysis just went down. Sign up below or head to the home page.
See you in May!
