What sorts of things did you include in your budget? I guess one of the big places I'm hung up on is I have no idea how many people to expect, so I don't know where to start
I put everything in my budget because I didn’t know what had to be there. I broke it up into Refreshments, activities, booths/games, Advertising and incidentals. Everything I could think of is in there with an approximate price, why it’s needed and any other notes about how much it would cost for a patron to use it ECT. I guess you could also put the stuff you are going to get for free; such as we have a place to hold it thanks to the university and people to work it via my chapter, stuff like that. If it helps I can send you what I have just pm me.
As far as how many people to plan for I would start with a realistic number maybe 2 or 3 times the number of people in your organization (If everyone tells a friend and you tell local chapters of animal rights activists you will probably get a decent number of people). And no matter what you set the number for most places won’t have a problem adjusting as long as you give them enough notice. I used to work at a banquet hall and people would change the number of people coming all the time even as much as an hour before, but I would say at least a week before call and tell then how many people have bought tickets and how many more you expect to sell, I’m sure they will help you out.
Jess_pom any ideas as to how to ask a radio station for their services? I haven’t contacted one yet but would love to know any inside tips.
Wow alot longer than i thought it would be...
