Your desire to work with a particular celebrity is not reason enough to approach them.<\/p>\n
Where is the intersection of what you are promoting and a particular celebrity\u2019s interest in it? That middle point is where your focus should be.<\/p>\n
Here are some details to flesh out before you make the approach:<\/strong><\/p>\n Make the connection<\/strong><\/p>\n Just like any other aspect of your event, research and planning are key to getting a yes to your ask. When deciding how to approach, a brainstorming session could open up some possibilities:<\/p>\n Put the money down<\/strong><\/p>\n Most celebrities are used to being approached to host or appear at events and have set fees to do so. While some can be approached directly, most have agents or management companies to do this for them.<\/p>\n If you know nothing about celebrity appearance fees, be prepared \u2013 you may experience sticker shock! It could seem like a hefty price to pay but think about it – you would pay for any other service or product. That is what you are doing here. The celebrity\u2019s product is their star power, talent, and personality.<\/p>\n One way to lessen the expense<\/a> is to decide whether you need an A-lister for your event. Would a B-lister or C-lister do instead?<\/p>\n Also, know that any special requests or requirements by the celebrity will be in addition to speaker or appearance fees so be sure to budget for that.<\/p>\n One final note about including celebrities at your event:<\/strong>\u00a0While getting that yes is great, do not rely only on their star power to make your event a success. Make sure the remainder of your event is star-worthy and well-rounded enough to succeed on its own.<\/p>\n\n
