Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about event marketing for your business

Event marketing investment varies based on scope, complexity, and your goals. Most projects range from $5,000-$25,000 for full-service event marketing including concept development, marketing strategy, creative direction, and post-event analysis. We also offer a la carte services and consulting packages starting at $2,500. During your free consultation, we'll provide a custom quote based on your specific needs and budget.

For maximum impact, we recommend starting 8-12 weeks before your event date. This allows time for concept development, marketing campaigns, vendor coordination, and building anticipation. However, we've successfully executed events with as little as 4 weeks notice. Rush projects may have limited availability and adjusted pricing.

We offer full-service event marketing—not just consulting. This means we develop the concept, create the marketing strategy, design the experience, train your staff, provide on-site creative direction during the event, and analyze results afterward. You can also choose consulting-only services if you prefer to handle execution internally.

We're not event planners—we're revenue-focused event marketers. While traditional planners focus on logistics, we focus on ROI. Every event we create is designed to drive specific business outcomes: increase foot traffic, boost sales, build brand loyalty, or generate media buzz. We combine 20+ years of experiential marketing expertise with proven conversion strategies that turn attendees into customers.

Absolutely! We collaborate seamlessly with your existing staff, management, and preferred vendors. We'll train your team on the event concept, provide them with marketing materials, and coordinate with your vendors to ensure consistent execution. Our role is to enhance what you're already doing—not replace your team.

Every event includes post-event analysis where we track metrics, gather feedback, and identify optimization opportunities. If your first event underperforms, we'll adjust the strategy for the next one at no additional cost (as part of your service package). Our goal is long-term partnership—not one-off projects. We succeed when you succeed, which is why we focus on recurring event strategies that improve with each iteration.

Yes! Full-service packages include social media graphics, email templates, flyer designs, promotional copy, and a complete marketing timeline. We'll also train your team on how to promote the event and provide ongoing support throughout your marketing campaign. Need help with paid advertising? We can manage that too.

We specialize in both! One-time signature events are great for launches, grand openings, or seasonal activations. However, our most successful clients use recurring event strategies—monthly themed nights, seasonal series, or quarterly community events—that create predictable revenue streams and build loyal customer bases. We'll help you determine which approach best fits your business goals.

Why Businesses Choose Idea Carnival

This isn't consulting. This is partnership.

Idea Carnival logomark badge

Most consultants give you ideas. I give you results. I've founded, scaled, and sold 6 businesses, generating millions in collective revenue. I think like a business owner, not a consultant — because I've lived it.

I don't just advise. I execute with you. From strategy to implementation, I'm with you at every step — providing on-site creative direction, training your staff, and seeing opportunities you can't see.

The proof is in the outcomes. I've transformed 25+ businesses into destinations. If you've worked with consultants before and didn't get results, you'll notice the difference immediately.
