Keeping your profile up to date with recent, high-quality content is one of the easiest ways to attract more party planners on The Bash.

Taking a little time to review your profile ensures it makes the best possible first impression when planners find you in search results. From updating your photos to requesting new reviews, small improvements can make a big impact on how your business stands out.

Follow These 6 Tips to Refresh Your Profile

1. Feature Your Best and Most Recent Photos & Videos

Take a few minutes to review the photos and videos on your profile. Remove anything outdated or low quality, and upload new, high resolution media that show your work at its best. Clients are looking for professional, high-quality vendors—your profile should reflect that.

Consider including photos or videos of you in action at events, along with images of happy clients enjoying the experience. Highlighting different types of events you perform—like weddings, corporate events, or holiday parties—can also help planners picture you at their own celebration, especially when those events are in season.

Pro Tip! While we recommend having at least 10 photos, our most successful members have an average of almost 50. The more you can add to your profile, the better!

2. Refresh Your Profile Description

Your profile description is one of the first things party planners see both in search results on The Bash and when they click on your profile.

Make sure your description is written professionally and clearly explains:

• What services you offer

• What types of events you specialize in

• What makes your business unique

A strong description helps planners quickly understand why you’re a great fit for their event. 

 Pro Tip! Top bookers on The Bash have an average of nearly 2,000 characters in their profile descriptions. Keep these 6 tips in mind when writing your profile description.

3. Display Up-to-date Pricing

Ensure your pricing is populated on The Bash and if it is, make sure it is current. Having your pricing displayed on your profile will help to better set expectations when clients are reaching out to you and attract those who are ready to work with you in your price range.

4. Request New Reviews

Recent reviews can make a big difference when party planners are deciding who to contact. If there are clients who haven't left you a review yet, consider following up to see if they’d be willing to share their experience. More reviews now will lead to more bookings in the future!

Pro Tip! You can request reviews from the Leads tab of your Control Panel on The Bash. Search your leads by the Gig ID # if you know it or use the sort and filter functionality, and check the "Awaiting review" box to view bookings without a review. Click the 'Review' tab and then click the 'Send Review Reminder' button. You can also contact us to do it for you! Learn more about how reviews work on The Bash.

5. Respond to Your Reviews

Replying to reviews shows that you value your clients and their feedback. It also gives potential clients a glimpse into your personality and what it’s like to work with you. Small personal touches can go a long way in building trust with future clients. 

Pro Tip! When responding to reviews, the key is to make it personalized. Use the client's first name, mention something specific about their event (like what you enjoyed most), and thank them for choosing you. Start responding to your reviews.

6. Keep Your Calendar Updated

Keeping your calendar up to date helps planners know when you’re available and prevents unnecessary inquiries for dates you’ve already booked.  This means blacking out any dates that you're not available for as well as displaying any upcoming events on your calendar, whether from The Bash or not. 

Pro Tip! Adding an outside booking to The Bash can help propel your search results ranking. All you have to do is add the event to your calendar and pay the 5% booking fee—the event will count towards your booking dollars on The Bash and you'll be able to collect a review from the client!
