Critical Non Essentials

“Critical Non-Essentials (CNEs) are small things outside the core business that add so much value they ultimately determine the success of the enterprise.”Dr. Paddi Lund (Author & Businessman)

Let us introduce you to Critical Non-Essentials, or CNEs – those extra perks that won’t cost you anything extra but will seriously improve your experience with a particular product or service.

CNEs usually don’t require much effort. It’s about thinking from the customer’s perspective and considering what they would love and need, not just what they would pay for.

While Prom Night Events isn’t the only option for your School Formal needs, we’re the only team of industry professionals who truly understand your perspective and create a range of products and services tailored to your specific desires and needs, not just what’s cheapest.

Here’s a list of the CNEs every client receives with every Prom Night Package, regardless of budget, guest count, or any other factor:

  • Our website offers the most comprehensive planning advice, statistics, trends, and downloadable resources in the industry.
    From the moment you contact us, you’ll be working with an experienced event management expert specialising in School Formals. If you choose to work with us, that same consultant will be available to you 7 days a week until your Prom night ends, offering advice and support throughout the entire process.
  • Your specific requirements will be analysed using custom-designed simulation software to determine the optimal attendance, budget, package inclusions, and features for your formal.
  • Your event will be managed by a team of qualified and experienced formal specialists, led by an event manager and MC who understand your specific needs and will be exclusively available on-site throughout the evening.
  • Custom-designed online tickets with guest names and seating information, scannable on smartphones at the door.
  • The entire event is packaged and priced as one all-inclusive ticket cost, with no hidden fees, deposits or damage bonds.
  • You’ll have access to the Prom Dashboard, a secure online planning tool customised for your formal, where you can select your preferences for colors, food, music, and all the details that contribute to your guests’ enjoyment.
  • The formal is covered by $90 million in insurance coverage across multiple policies, providing complete liability protection for clients and schools.

While it takes considerable effort to provide each of these items, they don’t add any extra cost for our customers. These are our Critical Non-Essentials, and you won’t find them offered anywhere else in the formals industry.

We encourage you to read our glowing customer testimonials – you might even see our CNEs mentioned. It’s amazing how often people highlight the aspects of their experience that came at no additional charge.
