Here is a blog by Electric Dreamz titled:
9 Key Points That Make An Event Company In Singapore The Right Choice For Your Events


UNDERSTANDING YOUR EVENT REQUIREMENTS

The first step to acquiring attractive quotes for quality event services and event packages is to understand your event requirements:
  1. Event Start and End Date
  2. Event Start and End Time
  3. Expected No. of Pax
  4. Event Venue
  5. Event Package Budget or Specific Event Item Rental Budget

Here is a blog by Electric Dreamz on how understanding your requirements can go a long way to attain attractive rates for quality event services titled:


QUALITY SOUND SYSTEM RENTAL SERVICE PACKAGE

For a quality sound system rental service and package, here is what you need:
  • Quality Sound System
  • Quality Sound Equipment Layout
  • Professional and Skilled Sound-man or Sound Technician

How do you determine that you have received an attractive quotation for a quality event sound system rental package?


It is not possible to tell from event photos and event videos that the attractive sound system rental service and package cost offered by a particular event company is for quality event sound system and that it is for a skilled and professional sound-man or event deejay. The best way to go about this is to:
  1. Ensure that it is a high-end sound system
  2. Request for past event references for sound system work

Here are some popular high-end sound system brands:
  • EV
  • Mackie
  • Martin
  • JBL

Event companies would usually provide past event references after the sound system rental rates and quotations have been accepted by clients.

Here is blog by Electric Dreamz on sound system rental service in Singapore titled:


QUALITY EVENT LIGHTING RENTAL SERVICE PACKAGE

For a quality event lighting rental service and package, here is what you need:
  • Quality Event Lighting Equipment
  • Quality Lighting Layout
  • Professional and Skilled Lighting Designer and Lighting Programmer

Event Lighting Rental Singapore

There are 5 ways determine if the attractive event lighting rental service and package rate that has been offered to you is for quality event lighting equipment and if it is with an experienced, professional and skilled lighting programmer and lighting designer:
  1. Request for past event lighting photos
  2. Request for past event lighting videos
  3. Request for the lighting programmer profile
  4. Request for past event references for event lighting work
  5. Ensure that a lighting console or lighting board is included instead of a laptop for lighting programming and lights control


Why is it important to ensure a lighting console or lighting board is included in the event lighting rental service package for your events?


Here is a blog by Electric Dreamz that explains this titled:
5 Secrets On What To Include For Your Event Lighting Package To Guarantee 5-Star Lighting Effects


QUALITY LED VIDEO WALL RENTAL AND PROJECTOR RENTAL SERVICE PACKAGE

For quality LED video wall rental and projector rental service and package, here is what you need:
  • Quality LED Wall and Projector
  • Quality Event Layout
  • Professional and Skilled Video Technician

LED Video Wall Rental Singapore

LED Video Wall Rental Service In Singapore


Contrary to believe, and a misconception by many clients, it is impossible to determine the quality of the LED video wall that has been offered at an attractive rental rate. It is not possible to tell if the LED video wall rental service and package that has been offered is for a P3, P4, P5 or P6 LED wall.

The only way to determine if the LED video wall provided in the LED wall rental package is indeed for a high quality screen, as stated in the attractive quotation that has been offered, is by setting an appointment to visit the LED wall vendor for a live test and viewing.

If you are going to spend thousands of dollars for an LED video wall for your grand event, it is the least you can do to ensure that your guests get the quality viewing that they deserve and that you are paying for.

Here are 2 points to note on LED video walls:
  1. A P3 LED wall is clear even if you standing less than 6 metres from the LED wall, however, a P5 LED wall will only be clear at about a distance of 6 metres or more.
  2. For the quality viewing of slides at events for your guests, a P3 LED video wall is recommended.

EVENT COMPANIES FOR ATTRACTIVE EVENT PACKAGES AND EVENT SERVICES

As explained earlier, event companies in Singapore are adapted to offer you attractive rates due to their right contacts and extensive experience in the events industry. For event packages, an event company would normally submit in a quotation with a brief on the event elements included in the event package upon initial contact and quote request by clients. Detailed proposals are usually presented during meetings after the quotations have been accepted and the event services confirmed by clients.

An event company that has low overheads and low running costs can offer you even better and more attractive rates for their event services and event packages. An event company that has low overheads and has low running costs is usually one that:
  1. Hires part-time event crew, lighting programmers, lighting designers, sound-man and video technicians that although are part-timers, they are professional, experienced, skilled and passionate about their work.
  2. Does not have a fleet of transport vehicles but hires transportation service when necessary for confirmed events.

TEAM BUILDING

Essentially, team building is process where you create a conducive environment to encourage your employees to grow as team and understand the benefits of teamwork through a series of games, which are focused on specific skills sets, personalities and characteristics of participants. Team building involves the process of coming up with customised proposals based on the detailed understanding of the existing environment. This can be achieved through  a variety a ways and costs more. One innovative way and simple way to acquire the knowledge necessary to propose a team building package is through team building survey forms:

TEAM BONDING

Here is a great blog that goes into more detail on the differences between Team Building & Team Bonding:

Team Building Or Team Bonding?


CORPORATE RETREAT

Corporate retreats are getaways organised for employees or the higher management, which can be for:
  1. Taking a break from the work environment
  2. A getaway which includes team building and team bonding activities
  3. A health and wellness oriented getaway perfect for stressed-out employees

The Team


Chief Facilitator - Chief Trainer

A chief facilitator oversees the entire team building event and is in-charge of conducting the prep talks and evaluation debriefings with the assistance of the assistant manager and appointed group facilitators.


Assistant Chief Facilitator

An assistant trainer will assist the chief facilitator to manage groups of participants. For a larger scale team building event where there are group facilitators, he will also coordinate and manage the group facilitators to ensure the team building game and activity is being carried out accordingly.


Group Facilitator - For a group of more than 40

Team building events that have more than 40 participants ideally require additional manpower called the group facilitator who will take charge of a particular assigned group. He will manage, advise and assist them from start to finish. The rule of thumb is that for every 20 more pax, an additional group facilitator is required.


Prep Team - For a group of 100 pax or more

This is a group of event crew who assist with logistics, especially in between team building games where they prepare the area for the next team building activity and clearance. For outdoor team building activities, they come in early to do all the necessary preparatory work, according to the requirements and instructions given to them by the chief facilitator and the assistant chief facilitator.

Logistics & Prep Team

Logistics is a very important aspect of corporate team building and requires meticulous and careful inventory checks especially for big groups. The chief facilitator and managers will plan, manage and instruct and coordinate with the group facilitators and the prep team to ensure everything is in order. The work of keeping inventory and safekeeping of these items will usually be delegated to the prep team members.

Assigned Group Leaders / Group Facilitators

The group facilitators are in-charge of a group of participants and stay engaged with the same group throughout the corporate retreat and trip. They are in-charge of the well-being of every participant in their group including ensuring that everyone has had their meals at the assigned locations and times.

Event Manager

The event manager plans and manages the entire corporate retreat. He works closely with the chief facilitator to ensure he has everything he needs for the team building and team bonding segments. He is also the link between the client, the event company and the chief facilitator. He travels to the corporate retreat location and stays in constant contact and provides live updates where necessary to the client's representative or representatives at the corporate retreat location and to the chief facilitator which ensures everyone is on the same page.

Corporate Retreat Package

Here is an example of what a typical 3-day corporate retreat package which includes team building games and team bonding activities:

3 Core Values In The Ideal Event Partner: Event Company in Singapore - Electric Dreamz

Event Company - Corporate Events in Singapore



Looking for an event company for your corporate events?



What are the values to look out for in the ideal event partner?


This is a blog about what I believe makes the ideal event partner for mutually beneficial long-term business relationships and ensuring high quality, successful corporate events, always.



Electric Dreamz is an event company that believes strongly in 3 core values, which are:
  1. Transparency
  2. Integrity
  3. Professionalism

We apply these values in everything that we do as we believe these are values that are the foundations to building strong and long-lasting business relationships between the client and the event company.

TRANSPARENCY & INTEGRITY

Transparency and integrity are two values are related. These values are related as you cannot have transparency without integrity and vice-versa. The building blocks of a true, strong and long-lasting business relationship.

Transparency and integrity allow for openness, without hidden agendas, to work towards a common goal that is not only beneficial to the business but to all, including 3rd parties and in the case of the events industry, the guests, audiences, participants and the society in general too.

Hidden agendas and actions aligned towards selfish and personal gains, may seem to provide success on the short-term but over a longer period of time, exposes its ugly side which then directly affects reputation, both for the company and at a personal level too.

It is very easy to gain short-term success through manipulation and by practising bad business ethics. On the other hand, It is a long hard and trying road to gain success through transparency, integrity and by practising good business ethics in the business world. However, is it not a well known fact that it is always the long and hard road that leads to the ultimate goal and true success?

Transparency and integrity brings about a positive environment not only through business dealings with external companies but within the company itself too.
Staff and employees catch on to the company culture and this in turn makes for happy and conducive work environments which encourage sharing, team work and selflessness, factors that have a direct effect on increased productivity, efficiency and even employee loyalty and retention.

Event Company | Electric Dreamz | Singapore - Principles in Life

On a personal level, practising these values in everything that we do, make us better citizens that also bring positive vibes to anyone we communicate with, building our own reputation along the way as well.

On a personal note, here are some bad situations that I have experienced personally in the events industry:

Event Company - The Hidden Agenda | Electric Dreamz | Singapore

Events Industry Situation One - The Hidden Agenda

Being made to believe that our company was chosen to take part in a fair event bidding process, when all that they actually needed was a 3rd quote as required by their companies and only realised this after hearing it from another company. I submitted very detailed proposals, thinking we had as fair a chance as any.

I believe this happens very often but could only verify this actually definitely happened on two occasions during a 1-year period. This normally happens with clients who already have their dedicated event company who has been serving them for years.

All they actually needed to update me was to request for a quote and let me know that they were only looking for a soft quote to get an indicative idea of our quote for their event requirements, which meant there was no need for an event proposal.

Event Company | Electric Dreamz | Singapore - Manipulation

Events Industry Situation Two - Manipulation

Being made to believe that the client does not want to work with their existing event company anymore and at the last minute would like us to rush them our quotation as the event is only in the next week. However, after negotiating and ironing out details (all at the last minute) being told that they have moved on with another event company, which was still not so bad, but then finding out later through another event company that our quote was shown to them to drive their price down further.

This is a common practice with clients who already know who they want to work with or have been working with for a long time and are only finding ways to bring their costs down, using any means necessary.

Event Company | Electric Dreamz | Singapore - Confirmation Discount

Events Industry Situation Three - Confirmation Discount

Being made to believe that our company has won the bid, as the client was already in discussion on the final confirmation discount. This is a discount that will be given when you are confirmed for the job. A day after the discount was given, the client updated me that they will not be appointing our company to plan and manage their event.

Event Company | Electric Dreamz | Singapore - Unfair Additional Costs

Events Industry Situation Four - Unfair Additional Cost

Being made to go down to survey, submit a layout plan and being asked to modify the logo design, which is usually a process after a job has been confirmed, then finally, after all the work was done, being told that they have moved on with another event supplier.

I could list many more, but these are the more common situations that I have personally faced in the events industry.

In conclusion, I have come to understand that more times than not, in the events industry it does not come down to the price and costs, it is usually about who the client wants to work with. The client then works to lower down that event company's price through any means possible, which sometimes means that good business ethics are thrown out of the window.

What is transparency in business and why it matters?


Here is an excellent blog that explains thoroughly the importance of transparency and what are the positives gained from it:
Posted By: Experts Exchange

What is integrity and how it matters in business?


Here is blog by Amy Anderson on:

THE CULTURE & ENVIRONMENT

The culture and environment where we are in plays a very big role in defining who we are and what we become. These are influences that mould us to be who we are.

Event Company | Electric Dreamz | Singapore - Culture & Environment

For example, if we have been in an environment where bad business ethics are openly practised and observed by us, and our believes that are further strengthened by these same peers and mentors who seem to be successful financially, we naturally start believing that there is nothing wrong and that this is indeed the way to success.

Event Company | Electric Dreamz | Singapore - Choosing a Path

This is when life choices play a big part and times when we have to 'step out' and take good look and re-evaluate what principles we would like to follow and adhere to. There is nothing illegal about being selfish and look for personal gains over the demise of others, if this is what you decide.

Event Company | Electric Dreamz | Singapore - Road To Success

This is a personal choice, however, will not bring you ultimate success and will not achieve your company's long-term goals, especially if building a long-term business relationship is your company's ultimate goal.

If you are reading this sentence it probably means you agree with everything that has been discussed and mentioned and, you are most welcome to contact us anytime for any advice you need on any events industry related matter. We will be more than happy to assist in any way we can!

PROFESSIONALISM

This means skills, competency and what is expected of you as a professional and a representative of your company or your specialised trade. 

Here is a blog by Alison Green on:

What are things that make you a professional?

  • Clear understanding of your work environment and what is expected of you
  • Being pro-active
  • Excellent time-management & being punctual
  • Being flexible & accepting criticism with an open mind
  • Effective & clear communication
