Introducing
The Grand Opening Run of Show
Get the exact blueprint I use to pull off flawless, high-energy grand openings – stress-free and fully organized.





Hi!
You are on the right path to a flawless grand opening if you’re here!
Opening your dream business is a lot like running a marathon—only instead of water stations, you’ve got DJ playlists, balloon arches, and intro tours to juggle.
But don’t sweat it!
The Grand Opening Run of Show is the exact form that I use to ensure that staff and vendors know exactly what’s happening during every minute of the launch.
Guests will get the perfect Instagram shot, and your business will earn positive word of mouth.
Whether you’re opening a fitness studio, restaurant, salon, or wellness center, this checklist will help you avoid stress while creating an unforgettable experience for your guests.

Your Event Roadmap: Checklist This isn’t just a checklist; it’s a detailed hour-by-hour plan to keep your grand opening running smoother than your favorite playlist.
Crystal Clear Responsibilities: Know who’s doing what and when. No more frantic “Who’s in charge of the snacks?!” moments.
Proven Framework: Checklist Based on the Intercept & Influence system, this guide has helped brands worldwide boost awareness, attract leads, and skyrocket revenue before the doors even open!
We’ve been in the trenches. We’ve planned grand openings where the ribbon was missing, the snacks ran out (seriously, never again), and we didn’t have a backup for the Wi-Fi crashing mid-demo. That’s why we built this Run of Show—no one should go through that level of stress.
This isn’t just a generic to-do list. It’s THE blueprint. The one that makes you look like you’ve done this a thousand times before, even if it’s your first shot.
Industry Versatility: This checklist covers all the bases, whether you’re in hospitality, entertainment, or wellness.
