Doing the homework well with genuine interest:
Once you get the appointment of a celebrity and you blabber something irrelevant, then tables are sure to turn upside down. It is better to know all the details of the celebrity like about their childhood, the current projects they are working on, their specific interests etc.
Knowing the inclination of the celebrities:
Some celebrities pour their heart and soul into charity work while some are interested in fashion. Some celebrities have a passion for human and animal rights. So, first find out the specific interest of the celebrity and choose the celebrity appropriate to the purpose of your event. Giving them the right reason to attend is also very important.
Allocating enough budgets:
Never be stingy. While negotiating with them, keep in view the maximum amount that you can spend. They might have additional demands like a particular food, green rooms; to and fro travel arrangements etc. Be sure to offer what you have promised.
Make sure you provide enough limelight to the celebrities before, during and after the event. Giving them the importance they deserve will work well.
Discussing your needs clearly:
There should be complete transparency during discussions. Put forth your exact purpose of the show. Don’t forget even minute details. Being upfront, courteous and efficient will earn accolades.
From the moment they arrive to the minute they leave, make sure you give them a lifetime experience so that you can win a place in their good books. Adhering to a strict timeline is very important as their time is very precious. Showing your gratitude for their presence will make them cherish your event. Thanking them for their presence is a really sweet gesture. This can be done by presents, handwritten notes, and tweets. It is very important to build a relationship with them and maintain it.
