I know this post may come a bit late since the month of January is coming to an end but nonetheless, I would still want to share to world my roller coaster ride of the year that was, The 2012 Year of Events and Weddings.So like the previous year, 2011 that ended on such a high note culminating my first year as a full-pledged event planner, 2012 started slow at first and ended as much energy as the previous year.
First up, the Araw ng Dabaw celebrations of Davao City was also a wedding for my First Year Anniversary! On March 16, of 2011, I launched my first blogpost announcing to the world my intent to serve people thru my skills in events organizing and events hosting specializing in weddings. It was a surprise on the following year that fate and the universe had given me the gift of a wedding event for the exact day of my little company's first anniversary.
From the high spark of the March 2012 event followed two months of a succession of dips and inactivity. April and May 2012 were months of research and online advertising and marketing to cover the realm of potential clients in the cyber world.
By June, two clients who had chosen us to host their wedding. From that month, I decided to expand further in offering my services to the city of General Santos City, just a few hours travel from Davao City, which I was homegrown. By the end of July, I landed three corporate product launching, two birthday bash celebration, two full wedding coordination, planning and hosting! It was a moment of extreme happiness, fulfillment and challenge. July and August brought so much surprise to my doorsteps, I was left speechless.
The months rolled, October wedding took place outside of General Santos City, a short hiatus in November and a full blast jampacked schedule in December!
The Year 2012 was a roller coaster ride for me and my partner and my team in my little events company. I felt so blessed and grateful for people who trusted their weddings, birthday, corporate events to me and my team.Upto this day, I still don't have a clue how 2013 would turn out. I am filled with excitement and anxiety as to whether this year brings just as much events, or would the numbers plunge or would it outdo the previous years!
All I am geared up is my business plan and this flexibility to adjust to whatever comes along. Over all I am very excited to grow through the ups and downs of this year's roller coaster ride!!!
Will you ride with me?
