Smart Custom Proposals is Cvent’s proposal creator that lets hotels and venues design and submit high‑quality, visual proposals that stand out from the competition. By packaging your response in a branded, content‑rich experience instead of a plain text document, it helps planners quickly see your value and makes it easier for them to choose your property.
With Smart Custom Proposals, you can use a drag‑and‑drop designer to build proposal pages that showcase your property’s story, spaces, and services with custom branding, rich imagery, and embedded videos. This turns your RFP response into a visual experience that mirrors what it feels like to host an event at your venue.
Once your templates are in place, attaching a Smart Custom Proposal to an RFP response (Cvent or non‑Cvent) takes just a single step in your response workflow. Teams can respond faster with polished, on‑brand proposals, helping you meet planner deadlines and improve awarded RFP value.
Yes. You can build unlimited templates tailored to specific event types, group sizes, or industries so your team always has a relevant starting point ready to go. This makes it easy to fine‑tune messaging and content for corporate meetings, incentives, weddings, association events, and more, without rebuilding from scratch each time.
Smart Custom Proposals can be attached to both Cvent and non‑Cvent RFPs, so you get the same consistent, elevated proposal experience no matter where the lead originates. This means your sales team can standardize on one proposal format across channels instead of juggling multiple tools or templates.
You can fully brand each template with your colors, fonts, and logo, then use the drag‑and‑drop site designer to add photography, floorplan visuals, and video content that highlight your property’s strengths. Over time, you can refine these assets to reflect new room designs or signature experiences.
Yes. Smart Custom Proposals makes it easy for catering and events teams to attach banquet event orders (BEOs) and other supporting documents directly to your property’s RFP responses. This helps planners see menus, pricing, and setup details up front, reducing back‑and‑forth and building confidence in your execution.
You can build unlimited Smart Custom Proposals templates and make them available to the sales, catering, and events users who are responsible for responding to RFPs. This lets leaders standardize messaging and quality, while still giving individual sellers flexibility to personalize content for each opportunity.
Smart Custom Proposals is part of Cvent’s broader group sales toolkit and works alongside CSN Advertising, 3D & Interactive Floor Plans, and Response Assistant. You can attract demand with CSN ads, visualize space with 3D tours, use automation to prioritize and respond to RFPs, and then attach a Smart Custom Proposal to deliver a compelling, finished response, all within the same ecosystem.
