August 27th, 2010Entertainment Agencies – The Way To Avoid A Ruined Event
August 27th, 2010The Good, The Bad And The Indifferent (Entertainment)
Sounds like the title of a spaghetti western, and to be honest, it probably over the years has had as many casualties. So what am I talking about? The answer is bad entertainment.
I think most of us can relate to either a personal experience or the experience of a friend, to how the focal point of an event ruined it. The entertainment at an event is probably the most crucial part, if you don’t include inviting the guests, and when it goes wrong everyone notices. Just the other day I was in a conversation and was told about how a DJ failed to turn up at an event, that event being a wedding, and how despite repeated phone calls no one could contact the party involved. This basically ruined what should have been the best day of two peoples lives, a real shame as everything else had gone so smoothly. This is something not just confined to private events, it can also effect corporate ones too. Imagine planning a corporate event, your colleagues will be there, perhaps someone high up within the company is flying in from abroad, or you are trying to make a good impression on future clients and seal a deal worth a lot of money. Everything is in place, or so you think, then out of the blue….. nothing, no entertainment. Panic sets in, but in the end there is little you can do, it is too late. Of course the entertainment can arrive, but still let you down. A band in jeans and T shirts at a black tie corporate event, the wrong music, there are so many aspects that to list them all would become boring for those of you reading this.
So what is the solution you ask? The best solution is to use an entertainment agency. Allow me to explain. At one time all UK entertainment agencies had to be licensed, which is no longer the case, however all entertainment agencies are required to comply with the employment agencies act and it’s amendments. This gives you, the client, legal recourse, which you can exercise if, need be. Some entertainment agencies are members of professional bodies such as The Agents Association or the NEAC (National Entertainment Agents Council), if they are then these should be your first point of contact if you have a problem, which you cannot resolve. Both organisations have a code of conduct for members and also have a disciplinary process available. If an agency is not a member of either, and the complaint is serious enough, then you can make a complaint to the DBERR, formally the DTI, who have powers to act against and impose severe sanctions on rogue agencies.
I am sure there are people reading this who are saying to themselves, is this just a plug to get business, the answer is no. Although I run an entertainment agency, I am not saying that everyone should use our services, people should and do have a choice. I am saying make sure you use a reputable entertainment agency, of which there are many. So what can you expect from a reputable entertainment agency, the first is a high level of service, professional people to source entertainment to your needs. The second, if something goes wrong, a reputable agency will do its best to put it right. Third, legally binding contracts between the parties involved.
Now I am sure there are some people saying, I have a contract for my DJ/Band, he/they sent me one, or I always use an agency and have a contract. My question to those people is “IS IT LEGAL”? Just because you have a contract doesn’t mean that it is legal or that in a dispute it will hold up in court. Always make sure that any contract you have complies with the law. If in doubt always ask the person issuing it, or take independent legal advice. The good news is that a legal contract is everybody’s safeguard, and it will detail all the requirements, so you can rest easy knowing that everything is covered.
So in conclusion, to make your event memorable for all the right reasons:
Always use a reputable agency, to avoid the bad or the indifferent, and just enjoy the good.
Good luck with your next event.

Four Tips to Sizzle Up Your Marketing Materials Done Through Digital Printing
August 26th, 2010Digital printing makes it easier for business owners to level up on their advertising plans. But you cannot rely on the technology to do everything for you. You have to match it with other plans and other techniques for you to be able to strategize better as well as achieve higher sales and improved outputs.So how is this possible? This can be achieved by thinking about how to make the most of your products and how can you convince people that they are worth the money that they will be spending on them. In thinking about your promotions, you can also think about your materials that will be processed through digital printing. What will look good on them? And what will appeal on your probable clients when they see them?Here are some suggestions that will especially be useful for businesses that still do not have a large customers’ base. They need to get the most out of each person who will be interested to their offers. 1. Do not tire out from coming up with suggestions. When a client shows interest on a particular product, suggest other products that can be used along with what they want to buy. This is just like when you go to your favorite fast food chain. After you have ordered your meal, the crew will ask if you’d like anything to add with that order. They will try their best to suggest the food that will go well with what you are having. Or they may even recommend for you to order for a take out. This concept will be good to look at your marketing pieces. This will also work well in person, especially if you will teach all your employees to integrate such approach when they deal with your clients.2. Choose the products that will be valued higher. This is important when you are new and you want to achieve higher sales. For example, if you are selling three types of cameras. One is priced too low than the two other brands. The tendency for people will be to prioritize the one that costs less. You can drop that one and let your clients choose between the remaining two. This way, you will profit more in the process.3. You can have your promos in bundles. Unlike the first tip on this list, that is to keep on suggesting to people what else they can buy aside from what they’re interested in, this is like forcing them to buy them because the products are part of a bundle. But make sure to stress how much savings your clients will get by availing the promo in the bundle. This way, it will be more likely for them to get persuaded with your offer.4. Target on a certain goal and hit it. This can be on a weekly or a monthly basis. You must set a goal as to how much you want to achieve for a certain period of time. You have to share that goal to all the people who are working for you. You must influence them in hitting your target by promising incentives and the likes for top performers. But of course, if you are going to promise anything, make sure that you can deliver accordingly.These tips will make your marketing materials done through digital printing more appealing. And your clients will surely appreciate the effort and the exciting promos geared towards them.
