Why Hotels Want You to Use Them not Us

Did you know that some venues will make commission when booking audio visual services through their contracted provider? If you ask to bring in your own team of Technical Specialists, there goes the hotel’s incentive pay.

But, let us keep in mind that hotels make much more profit from F&B and hotel meeting room rentals than audio visual. What’s our point? If they make more money in other event areas, it can’t be that difficult to bring in your favorite audio visual team! All you need to do is say that you are doing it, and viola! Done deal.

On a side note, it is a good idea to bring outside quotes into your negotiations to drive down in-house costs, no matter the provider you choose.

In our many combined years of experience in the a/v industry, we will have to say that using Technical Specialists are the way to go. The quality of work will be noticeably better and audience engagement significantly improved.

Lighting and Ambiance

Event lighting is a critical part of any event type, meeting or production. Lighting, or illumination, is the deliberate use of light to achieve a practical or aesthetic effect.

When starting to plan, you’ll want to brainstorm the basics. Choose your event moods, then decide what content needs emphasis, and lastly will there be a color palette? In the planning stages, your options are endless! Your event space is a blank canvas and you are the artist!

 One of the many benefits of working with a technical specialist( Like, Fox Audio Visual!) is their in-depth knowledge of how lighting works! When meeting with your technical team, be sure to discuss the venue so that they can have a good understanding of the space’s capabilities, layout, logistics and staff. From there they can design a plan to bring your vision to reality!

Sit back, relax and enjoy the perfectly lit event!

Customer Service in Small Businesses

Small businesses are just the bees knees! But seriously, we really do pride ourselves in our stellar customer service, here at Fox Audio Visual. In this blog post, we will discuss the ways we believe small businesses, in general, rock the customer service department!

Being small means better consumer knowledge, as we are closer to our clients. There are fewer resources needed to learn what our clientele wants in order to meet their expectations. Often times our clients speak directly to our CEO when planning a gig and this is so often the case in other small businesses too. You just can’t beat that kind of customer service!

We thrive on generating positive word of mouth referrals and recommendation(s). This day and age so much is done virtually, and we see the importance of that, but nothing truly beats when an entire community backs your services! Our clients speak to our speedy response time and seamless event execution in our 5 Star Google Reviews, we have close to 100 now!

Aren’t convinced that small business are the best? Give us a call, book your next event and we will prove it to you!

Movie Night Tips

Summer nights are meant to be fun, folks! Daylight lingers, and entire neighborhoods stay out to play long after the sun goes down. It’s a spectacular time of year and we can’t think of a better way to take advantage of it than to host an outdoor movie! In just a few simple steps you’ll be on your way to hosting a night to be remembered by all!

  1. Pick your movie

Is this a child friendly evening or for adults only? Is the entire neighborhood coming by or is this a girls night in? The options are endless,  just have fun with choosing your flick! 

    2. Invite your guests!

Whether it be word of mouth, social media or cute handwritten invitations, just start spreading the word! You’ll want to let folks know they should bring pillows/chairs/blankets and dress in comfy clothes! 

   3. Contact a local audio/visual/production company

 So important to have the right gear to show your movie! A little ambiance lighting is a lovely touch too. Offering a quality audio and visual experience can and will make all the difference for your night. Also, having a technical crew come out to set up for you takes away the headache of hunting down screens and projectors on your own. 

    4. SNACKS!!

It’s so important to offer a variety of snacks and beverages to keep your guests happy! A candy bar? Local brew bar? Popcorn machine? The possibilities are endless, it’s a lovely touch to tie your snacks in with your theme!

I think we have covered the basics! Have fun and put your own unique spin on Movie Night! Any questions regarding audio/visual? Give us a shout (843) 608-9473
