Sharing My Tips & Advice on Organization, Time Management & Client Interactions | EOE Designs

[@lindabell6069]

I love your transparency. I could relate to you talking about barely making any money on an event, but no more. People have no idea how much it costs for materials, the time to set up a QUALITY event as well as the creativity in designing. God has blessed your business and I pray for your continued blessings!

[@EOEDesigns]

Thank you Linda! This means so much to me. Event planning can be so taboo because we all charge differently. I charge for what clients I’m targeting ❤️

[@breannamawlawi8212]

Finally a video with actual helpful information, thank you so much 💜

[@EOEDesigns]

Glad it was helpful! That means a lot.

[@tonyaramsey1221]

Thank you for being so transparent. Sharing is caring and I am very appreciative of you inspiring and helping others. Much success to you and your wife!!

[@EOEDesigns]

You’re very welcome

[@bethanybarfield5866]

I've watched the setups of your events and they have all been very beautiful and elegant, even the kids parties so whatever you charge is worth it. You may be an over thinker when it comes to your events but that just shows that you're thoughtful and you want to see your clients satisfied with executing a great party and your inventory is wonderful! I'm taking notes! ♥️🤩😄

[@EOEDesigns]

Thank you so much. 😁

[@ballfamily6087]

I love the “rambling.” I enjoy hearing your thought process. It is such a blessing to see all that inventory!! I understand the grind and prayer that came with that growth

[@EOEDesigns]

Why did this comment almost make me cry! I’m so thankful and I can’t really tell you how much I appreciate the support. God had really proved himself and answered so many of my prayers

[@tyoniamoon2969]

I hope to one day arrive where you are in your business and make sure I can step up my organization game! For You and your Wife, I will continue to pray for your continued success!😊❤️

[@EOEDesigns]

Thank you so much! I would have never imagined I would be where I am today a few years ago. It started out as a hobby and now the lord has just enlarged my territory! Keep pushing

[@donnagittens-charles812]

Wow Thomas! Everytime I see your storage it blows me away with the amount of items. Thank you for the guidelines for preparing for an event. Like the idea of not giving a final price until a downpayment is made, as some potential clients don't commit. Yes it's better to wash all table linens you carry to an event, whether they were used or not before returning to storage. It eliminates any doubt of whether it's clean. I am starting to get some coloured table linens now, have the basic white. I am up to 4 storage bins😂, getting there slowly but surely.

[@EOEDesigns]

I started off with all white and did all my events with that as my base color! ❤️ I love that for you! 😁 thank you!

[@curlycurly004u]

Love this video! Thank you for sharing!

[@EOEDesigns]

You are so welcome!

[@lindabell6069]

Awesome organization. My fav is that flex laundry basket from Lowe's you used for chargers...on my way to Lowe's. Tfs!!!

[@EOEDesigns]

Yes I love them and then I found some nice ones from Target too the same night for $4 that work even better www.target.com/p/flexible-laundry-basket-diamond-round-gray-room-essentials-8482/-/A-81111381#lnk=sametab

[@francinanunez9221]

Thanks for doing this video! I’m just starting out and I don’t charge much for an event. With you saying that’s something you did help me because people are telling me I should be charging more. I was telling them that’s how you get clientele, advertisement and experience.

[@EOEDesigns]

Yes! I publicized my “cheap” rates on Facebook and had some event coordinators reach out saying I was undercharging. Of course I knew I was but the gain from each event was clientele and inventory. I thought of it as an investment into my own business and to God be the glory it’s paying off.

[@r1ley536]

Just found your page because im about to do a baby shower for my cousin and im over thinking and your videos really help!!! Love your videos

[@EOEDesigns]

Oh wow! Thank you!!! It will work out just do your thing watch!

[@jenikajones410]

Thank you so much for this. I love how well put together your items are❣ I will be using your tips for sure😊

[@EOEDesigns]

You are so welcome! 😊

[@kmgilliard]

This helped me out a lot! My storage is a mess rn but I am hopeful that it won’t be that way always! Lol Storing as we breakdown was my biggest takeaway…along with not letting inventory pile up in the truck 😬…it will save so much time and energy. Thanks. You guys do amazing work! Have a great day!

[@EOEDesigns]

Thank you! I think I’m too much of a control freak and have to know where everything is it would drive me up a wall 😂 you can do it!

[@majesticjb]

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾great video Thomas. Thanks for all of the tips. I was going to ask you how you transport your chargers because they get so heavy. I decided to put mine in a small carry-on suitcase so that I can roll them around LOL. I appreciate the knowledge sharing and the tips on breaking down your events!! Keep them coming 👍🏾

[@EOEDesigns]

I sure will! Here’s some event better baskets o found at target for $4 right after recording this video lol. If you have one close by go grab you some www.target.com/p/flexible-laundry-basket-diamond-round-gray-room-essentials-8482/-/A-81111381#lnk=sametab

@Epitome of Excellence Designs & Decor you're amazing 👏🏾 May God continue to elevate you!

[@beckystewart4423]

I love watching your videos where you and your wife set up for an event. I just recently started decorating for my small church. I have gotten several ideas from you. Did you buy the chargers on line, and also your napkins and tablecloths. Thank you for all you share. Blessings to you and your family.

[@EOEDesigns]

Awww! Thank you. I bought the chargers you see from Dollar Tree and most of my napkins come from Amazon I just look for what color I need and buy them in bulk.

[@mizzmiami3242]

My event is tomorrow. This video came on time!

[@EOEDesigns]

Good luck!! 😌

[@Dwevents_Interiordecor]

Such a helpful video.I recently transformed my unused garage into my storage space.

[@EOEDesigns]

When we purchase a home I would love to do that to but I want to park my car there as well 😂 Decisions, decisions. Thank you!

[@EOEDesigns]

Thank you very much!

[@cheryl_rendone]

I love watching your videos, I'm actually using one of them to make my own wedding bouquets! I am curious to know how you got started as an event planner? What made you decide to do it?

[@EOEDesigns]

Thank you! I would do small events here and there and post them on social media and people would reach out to me to do their events and it snowballed from there.

[@QueenSaint]

Looooved the video. Great tips. Its When your chergers are on the cart do you have to worry about dust building up on them?

[@EOEDesigns]

Thank you! I use them so much I don’t this storage unit is also super clean so I’ve never ran into an issue with dust

[@havc3]

Hi QueenSaint, I don’t know if it works for you and depending on the heat levels, I wrap every 12 chargers in saran wrap after I clean them. I have to do that because I’m not a business but I have a big family. We have holidays for some of us but could be a barbecue, birthday, graduation, engagement, wedding for 75 to 250. I love all the EOE Designs videos I’ve seen!!

[@tanikadavis1613]

You would VIDEO in that ORGANIZED STORAGE! 💙😅 IM TRYING!! 💯💯 THANKS FOR VISION!!

[@EOEDesigns]

😂😂😂 don’t do me like that! Thank you

[@lindabell6069]

Got the laundry baskets for the chargers. They came from Target and was $4 ea on sale. Tfs!!

[@machellejackson3751]

I am so thankful for the Lord allowing me to find your KZbin videos, I have learned a lot.The Lord knows what we need before we know.On a lot of KZbin videos you don't here too many people putting Jesus Christ first and giving Him the glory. Man of God, I pray you and your family will continue to trust God and let Him lead and you family in every area of your life. Again, thank you for everything, and I will continue to follow you and your wife. I don't know yall personally, but I am proud of yall.

[@kat64470]

Does linen have to be professionally washed or reg home machines is ok? When you’re buying chargers, how many do you start with? I love long videos. Last question sorry. Do you fill up dessert table, like gum balls, cupcakes candy table, etc? I love your balloons arches. I would love to see you use flowers with the balloons too. Or maybe you already do that, and I just haven’t seen it yet.

[@EOEDesigns]

I use to have my linen dry cleaned but it had become expensive so I wash them at home and dry two table cloths at the time to keep the wrinkles down. When buying my chargers I started with 50 and worked my way up with each color. Overtime I’ve just accumulated so many of them. For the desert and candy tables I don’t provide anything edible but if a client wants me to stage the treats or asks if I have containers or display stands I’ll bring them. I’ve used flowers with my balloons in one of my most recent balloon videos and I’ve used them for a butterfly themed baby shower as well.

[@kat64470]

@@EOEDesigns you’re so sweet. Thanks for answering all of my questions. I would like to have an event space so I won’t have to pay extra for storage, and I can offer more services, and charge more too.

[@gracejackson9575]

Where To get the Basket you are using for the charger's

[@EOEDesigns]

I purchased it from Lowe’s but I actually fount event better ones at Target the same night after recording this video. Here’s the link www.target.com/p/flexible-laundry-basket-diamond-round-gray-room-essentials-8482/-/A-81111381#lnk=sametab

[@patriciarice7974]

I have a time taking care of that linen how would I do that especially tablecloths big problem to me😢

[@EOEDesigns]

I just wash and dry them as normal and fold them right out of the dryer. It’s easier to get out fold lines than wrinkles everywhere. I also have a steamer now and that helps

[@tiki2771]

How do you store your ballons?

[@EOEDesigns]

I don’t normally keep a lot of balloons on hand. The ones I have are extras so I just keep them in my event prep bags
