Musings of Sally Boldt-Strebel

BestPartyEver.com, a search engine for the special events industry has launched the “Party Planner Center”.  Just in time for exhibition at the 2007 Special Events Expo being held this week in Los Angeles, BPE has deployed a new suite of online party planning tools allowing users to easily plan their upcoming event.

“The new Party Planning Center allows users to plan the details of their upcoming event in an easy to use, paperless process”, said BestPartyEver.com founder Sally Strebel.

The new Party Planning Center lets users save their chosen vendors, perform budget calculations, create and save guest lists, and create to-do lists for event planning tasks.

“Our goal has always been to provide a fun and easy to use suite of online party planning tools while delivering value to our many advertisers.” Sally continues, “This is just the first phase of the website which we plan to make the premier social application for the special events industry.”

BestPartyEver.com is a fast growing search engine of over 80,000 vendors such as wedding planners, caterers, clowns, party supply rental, and more.  Users create and save a list of potential vendors to hire for their event eliminating the hassle of paper notes and phonebooks.

BestPartyEver.com “The Online Party Planner” introduces its personalized special event search engine and Party Planning Center at the prestigious Special Event 2007 convention. BestPartyEver.com matches vendors to potential clients by creating a relevant search that pertains to the location and type of party that the user plans to host. Then BestPartyEver.com encourages users to save selected vendor information into their own personal Party Planning Center. The Party Planning Center allows potential clients to-

§ create notes about vendors

§ maintain a budget

§ research party ideas

§ formulate a guest list

§ utilize and develop checklists

§ share their party experience with others.

BestPartyEver.com strives to maintain a fun, fresh, easy-to-use website for its users while helping vendors increase revenue, grow their business, experience reduced ad clutter, and reach the internet market. As of November 10, 2006, according to the article The Rich are Different on eMarketer, households that make over $85,000 have an internet usage of over 93% and 80% of those households purchase online. While spending and user percentages are rising, now is a great time for vendors to make their presence known on the internet by advertising with BestPartyEver.com.

BestPartyEver.com recently launched a new version of its online party planning directory. The new version provides visitors with multiple vendor information from multiple industries simultaneously by the second page, the ability to create and save lists containing vendor information, and party ideas to inspire the party planner.

“When BestPartyEver.com opened its internet doors back in December of 2005, we started with a website that was similar to our competitors,” states BestPartyEver.com founder, Sally Strebel. “Our visitors had to click at least three times to find vendor information for one industry. First, our visitors chose their industry. Then they would choose their state and finally choose a city. The process took too long and it was no fun”, states Sally Strebel. “Luckily, our online party planner was small enough to change course”.

BestPartyEver.com began its website redevelopment in May of 2006 with the intention of creating a quick, simple, and complete application for people planning an event. After months of planning and developing, BestPartyEver.com relaunched in early November. To begin the process of planning a party, a visitor enters their event type and location, then clicks ‘go’. The next page presents multiple vendors in multiple industries and a personal list where visitors can save vendor information for future reference.

The future of BestPartyEver.com includes more party planning tools incorporated into a ‘Party Planning Center’. Some of the tools include check-off lists, budget calculators, and list sharing, to name a few. The ‘Party Planning Center’ will make its debut in early 2007.
