Corporate Event Management – 4 Tips For Picking A Great Event Management Company
We all know that when it comes to corporate events, everything has to be perfect in order for the event to be considered a success. If it’s a small-scale event corporations can organise and plan the whole event by themselves. If you’re inviting hundreds of people we strongly advise you consider the following:
- Entertainment
- Marquee hire
- Catering
- Conferences
Calling on event professionals is essential as you are putting your reputation on the line, and as thousands of people will associate the event with your brand.
So how do you actually pick an event management company that is worth your time and investment? Here are the 4 tips we recommend you consider when choosing an event management company:
1. Know What You Want
Having an idea of what you want your event to look like can save you plenty of time and money. We advise you write down some of the most basic things that you want and start looking for a company that can offer those things. That way, you don’t waste time wondering if they can offer those things to you or not. When making the list, we recommend you be concise and straight to the point. When you make your requests you can explain the vision that you have for the event. Even if you’re not 100% sure what you want, we know a good event planning company will be able to elaborate on your basic needs for an event and talk you through their vision.
2. Experience
We all know that experience is something that matters in every profession. With experience comes knowledge. We know from experience that a great event planning company will know what you need before you even think of it. Experience also matters because a lack of experience in dealing with issues that arise prior the event and during can drastically impact the experience for you as a client and your guests.
3. Recommendations
While experience matters, it means nothing if the customers, which an event planning company has experience with, don’t have good things to say about them. It’s not much use having plans for 10,000 events if no one was satisfied. Nowadays, the internet is filled with reviews of every company in existence and with only a quick Google search, you can find out if that company is worth your time or not. Usually, event planning companies that have a good reputation will also have great reviews online. You might also be able to view photos or videos of the events that they have organised. If a company is hired multiple times by the same client that is a big plus, since it means that their quality is always top-notch.
4. Research
Don’t just hire the first event management company that you find online. Look for offers from many companies, and find out why you should hire them. That means also looking for prices, services and staff availability, and equipment at the same time. We strongly advise you make a list of pros and cons of all the companies that you’re thinking of hiring. This will give you a clearer picture and your decision can be made easier.
