“Mastering Emails” Presented by Elizabeth Sheil 
Make your email life easy because 92% of people polled said email speediness is important and 81% check email multiple times per day.
Helpful Tips
1. Easy Folder Structure: Your inbox should be action items. It is worthless if you don’t use it this way.
2. Tackle Your Full Inbox: Take time to unsubscribe from the junk email.  Start at the bottom of your email list and move up. If it takes less than 3 minutes to respond- reply immediately. If it takes over 3 minutes, reply with you are working on it. File immediately if you have responded to it.
3. Task vs. Calendar: Add notes to the email  (check on the gmail account) regarding why it is essential.
4. Automation Replies: the pros and cons: It saves time and money, allows you to streamline your workflow but it decreases authenticity.

Canned responses: they are useful when you can personalize a portion of the inquiry . If you are going to use a template (these are the three dots by the trashcan in gmail), it should be used for: inquiries, consult follow up, timeline reviews, day of vendor emails, wedding day reminders and out of office replies.

When do you automate: Payment and contract reminders
Auto responder: best practices to use when you are going on vacation
Favorite apps to use to help with you inbox: slack, unroll.me, screen castify  and  calendly (calendar cross reference)

“How to Continue Marketing Even With a Limited Budget”: Kinsey Roberts
[email protected]
In business, you can spend time or money or both. You need to pick the one that applies to you. This market is the a gateway for a substantial budget and you need to make sure you stop being unforgettable.
1. Plug the holes in your business: stop financial leaks, stop paying for marketing that is not working. Marketing is an inside job
2. Where do you get the most paying clients? find your paying clients and know the conversion rate of # contacted you to # booked.
3. Amplify and increase your marketing referral channel. SEO Search- go to you tube (since it is owned by google). Don’t become stagnant.
4. Go ALL IN for 60 days: If you implement few and far between- not effective. Marketing is math.
Read the book ” They Ask, You Answer” by Marcus Sheridan. You don’t always need to pivot, you can adapt.

“Top Habits of Highly Successful Event Professionals”: Presented by Megan Ely
1. (was running late on a work call…)
2. Must pivot- share your skills
3. Don’t stop learning- ever
4. Misinterpretation of successful growth- be realistic about this year
5. Being too anecdotal about what is working
6. Valuing creativity over organization: now is the time to implement systems, create an editorial schedule
7. Over dependence on a single entity
8. Saying yes to the wrong people

Shift your focus to: 1. your team- build now before you need them 2. your vendor relationships 3. your well being 4. your relevancy: “be a port in the storm- the safe harbor” for your clients.

To do list:
1. Seek inspiration out side of this industry
2. Integrate current technology into your day to day
3.  Make small videos to answer questions instead of email typing (LOOM)
4. Stay connected by being memorable
5. Design your own opportunities to connect
6. Do Better

Premium large format (PLF) cinema such as IMAX, Dolby Cinema, ScreenX has underpinned much of new cinema growth in the last decade, while also increasing earnings for cinemas and distributors. With cinemas re-opening what are the prospects for audiences still wanting a premium (safe) experience? We bring together the industry leaders to hear their thoughts.

A special thank you to Guillaume Branders from UNIC, Doug Darrow from Dolby, and Oliver Pasch from Cinionic for joining us this week.

Topic #1:

We began speaking about the Dine In Cinema Summit. CineShow has been canceled. ShowEast might be canceled but slated for october 21s to 23rd. ExpoCine might still be happening.

We brainstormed to add personal meetings. Vendors can be provided a list of attendees and who they want to meet up with. Choose 7 and get 15 minutes to meet one on one.

Topic #2

Having a nation wide Dine In Cinema Movie night. Come up with a theme and a date… Early July might be best. Need people with marketing bandwidth. Discussion ongoing.

Tuesday June 2,2020: Featuring our very own OG Jason Ostrow who is making his rounds on the speaker circuit:)

REPLAY

July 17th- Tenant is tentatively scheduled.

Reopening is like opening a new business- sort of.

It is important to build confidence with customers. Cleaning is the same even though there are lower attendees but it is more thorough. Disposable service ware allows for a quicker turnover.

Lessons learned:

1. Menu was striped too small in the beginning. Guests want to have the traditional menu.
2. Patience. Patience. Patience.

A special thank you to Debbie Stanford-Kristiansen of Novo Cinemas, Claudiu Tanasescu at Cinema Intelligence and Sophie Bouckaert of Kinepolis for joining us this week.

Global News: The Tenant trailer has been released BUT with no dates listed.

One theater is using their company’s marquee by renting it out for salutation signs. A small way to bring in some money.

Interesting fact: Santikos of San Antonio was #61 on the movie opening list and the 60 theaters ahead of them were all drive in theaters.

REPLAY

Make sure you look at the attached documents that were discussed during this summit.

Cinema Intelligence Handout

Kinepolis Handout

This was extremely interesting to listen to and you need to read all the documents and the links below:) The ci

The most important takeaway I had was:

1. Simple equipment can do the job
2. Don’t break the bank for cleaning
3. Consider doing a film pre show video of cleaning

Flix and Roadhouse Grill are looking to open in June and July. We talked about how attendees felt about the work that associations were performing on their behalf. Matthew Baizer has been extremely happy with the Texas Restaurant Association and their nightly updates. If you have not been looking at your state restaurant associations, you should.

We chatted about having a disclaimer. Some are using a portion of the Walt Disney Disclaimer.

We chatted about the use of apps. Some are using vista serve app, others are customizing their own and some are not using an app at all.

We are looking into putting a national movie night event together for all dine in cinema theatres. We will be talking about this at the next happy hour on Tuesday June 2nd 4pm. Make plans to attend!
