Your company is having a party, and you are in charge of hiring the
entertainment / DJ.
You may be concerned that your choice will have a direct effect on
you as an employee of the company. 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 / DJs for
your employees or clients for a special event. For instance what will your boss or employees think
if the DJ you hire is not what was expected? What will the everyone
think if the DJ you hire costs too much and isn't very entertaining?
How much
money will be wasted if the guests want to leave early?
Why didn't the boss give more specific instructions?
OK that last one was just for fun, but I have talked to many people
who say they are just gathering information. They know nothing about
the budget, or what the expectations of the boss or guests are.
 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!
Relax! I
can help.
The answer is simple. The one that offers the best value for your
money!
Here is the tricky part. Which DJ is the best
value?
Well it all depends on what you are "really" looking for.
You may just need a human with a few CD's and a sound system. In that
case go for the cheapest. Or, you may need an average DJ for an
average event. In that case go for the medium priced DJ that you
have met and like the best.
Maybe
you may 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 probably want to hire someone that you trust will provide an above average
performance, and above average service.
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 geographically possible) and offers suggestions from his/her many years
of experience to help make your event a huge success. Sometimes you
may think you just want a DJ to play music, however after meeting a
quality entertainer and sharing ideas, 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!
