Your company is having a party, YOU in charge of hiring the
entertainment.
You are concerned that your choice will have a direct effect on
you . After all, YOU have been given
the job. It is up to YOU to make sure it is done right and to
everyone's expectations.
This is
also true if you are the boss and you are hiring the entertainment for
your employees or clients. How do you make this event special? For instance what will your boss or employees think
if the DJ you hire is not what was expected? What will everyone
think if the DJ you hire costs too much and/or is not professional and entertaining?
How much
money will be wasted if the guests want to leave early?
Time for a quick
quiz - You have been tasked with finding the entertainment for
your next company function. You make a few phone calls and find out:
DJ Company #1 quotes $495
for 4 hours
DJ Company #2 quotes $999
for 5 hours
DJ Company #3 quotes $1500
for unlimited time
DJ Company #4
prefers to meet before quoting a price
WHICH COMPANY DO YOU CHOOSE!
The answer is simple. The one that offers the best value for your
money!
How can you tell which DJ is really the best
value?
It all depends on what you are "really" looking for.
You may just need a person with a few CD's and a sound system. In that
case go for the cheapest. Maybe you just need a "typical" DJ for yet another
average event. In that case go for the average priced DJ who you
have met and liked the best.
If you want to make sure that everyone has an EXCEPTIONAL time and
that they will remember that event as a LOT of fun, In that case you
will want to hire someone that you trust will provide an above average
performance, and above average service. That does not necessarily mean you have to pay above average prices.
How can
you guarantee that you have chosen the right DJ for
your event?
Make
sure that your DJ volunteers to meet with you and the party planning
committee in person (if possible) and offers suggestions from their many years
of experience to help make your event a huge success. You may find that you can
turn an ordinary gathering with music into a extraordinary, successful and FUN company
function that is credited to you!
