A verified event planner means that you are hiring someone who is able to handle your event in a professional manner. This person should have the knowledge and know-how of:-

  1.

This saves you time and money
  2. Can Help You Stay within the Event Budget- The kind of advices you will get from a verified event planner is priceless. They can give you a memorable event within your budget.

I have been in the industry for more than 15 years and I know for sure that the Event planning landscape is competitive, with countless new companies getting into the mix each year. I have tried my best to differentiate my company from the competition by acquiring different accreditations and certifications for the industry which has increased my company brand visibility and appears more frequently on Google search.

This is the process Ashley’s Events  took to have our company on EPA Accreditation  Event company accreditation and verification

  1. My Accreditation was done at eventplannersalliance.com/add-listing
  2. As a new user I created a new account. After creating the account, a questionnaire form followed. This is the accreditation form. I fill-up both mandatory and optional attributes to ensure my listings are of the highest quality. I made sure I filled out all the information, including photos, menu items, descriptions and service lines. This made my post popular on Google searches.
  3. I submitted the filled up form for Review – It was not published immediately as it had to go through steps of verification by the administrator.
  4. Every Accreditation comes with affordable yearly fee of only $50 – such an affordable figure will make my company enjoy all the benefits the accreditation site offers.
  5. Downloaded the Gold Badge: The profile was created and approved and it became live at eventplannersalliance.com . I was finally able to download the badge of accreditation. This badge is a symbol of accomplishment, and is meant to be seen by prospective clients. The Verified Badge confirms to my customers that Ashley’s event is true and trusted company. We have used the badge on our business profiles and social media Handles. This increases the trust to all our current and future clients. I have linked back my badge from our website to the accreditation site.
  6. Whenever I get RFP from different organizations we also include the Certificate of Accreditation as part of our experience and professionalism.
