Before looking at the why, this is what Junction K’s events offer provides. We will reduce our event management fees by 25% for any event we organise before 31st March 09. This covers organisational, management and coordination costs only, unfortunately we can’t discount content development, production or staging costs (which are very competitive already) or third party supplier costs.
Once we understand your requirements, we will provide a full budget breakdown; deduct 25% off our event management costs; then you can choose to proceed or not – no strings attached. The offer is open for one event per client. If you’d like to find out more why not call me: Anthony Story 0161 833 9725
Why are we doing it? There’s a danger in making an offer - is it a sign of troubled times or lack of confidence? Happily, neither of these are the case. Our offer is motivated by two main concerns – one selfless and the other, admittedly, more self-indulgent.
First - the selfless - It’s been impossible to read about the coming recession without considering what that means to us as an industry. Budgets will be and are being affected. This gives us two choices. Hope it goes away, or think about the implications for current and future clients. If budgets are being reduced, I think we should expect ours to be affected as well.
We need to be realistic, proactive and respond to clients – and it makes good business sense for all of us. Maybe selfless is too strong a claim, but with tough times ahead, I’m a firm supporter of clients and suppliers working more closely to get through them.
As for the self indulgent – in the past few blogs entries (below) I’ve discussed how technologies (e.g. video streaming, instant messaging, virtual worlds etc.) might open an event up to a wider audience. They’re not suitable for all occasions but, given our cross-platform skills, we’re keen to develop these opportunities. By reducing our costs, I hope clients might be more inclined to try these out and see what value they add to a conference, at minimal risk.
