Free Up More Time to do Business

If you feel that time, potential cost saving and reduced stress is important to you, then it might make sense to let 88 Events handle other elements of your event such as:

• Venue search and selection
• Catering
• Marquee design and build
• Transport
• Logistics
• Travel
• Accommodation

The above is clearly not an exhaustive list and it really depends on the type of client you are and what your objectives are.

The Benefits of Outsourcing Event Management

1. Save time – Give yourself more time to run your business

By outsourcing event management, you immediately free up a barrel load of time to do what’s really important - spend more time concentrating on your own business.

If you’re a managing director you can spend more time running your business.

If you’re a marketing director you can spend more time directing.

If you’re a PA, spend more time assisting your boss rather than spending hours trawling through the small print on a sub-contractor‘s contract.

2. Save money – How much is your time really worth?

Write down an estimate of how long you think it would take you to project-manage your event from start to finish. Then add on 50% as, chances are, you’ll under-estimate the time required.

Now calculate what you pay yourself or your staff and obtain a daily rate.

There is a high chance that the cost of event managing everything yourself will far outweigh the cost of the event management fee you will be charged if you choose to outsource.

By making the above calculations you can at least make an informed decision.

If you choose to outsource, you are effectively ‘buying back’ your own time and just think of the extra revenue you could generate yourself by focusing on your own business?

3. Reduce stress – Let someone else worry about the nitty-gritty

One factor often overlooked by companies and individuals who choose to event manage themselves is the stress factor. If you’ve never organised an event before it’s hard to imagine just what’s involved.

Do you really want to be booking flights, reading and re-reading endless reams of small print, trying to understand technical jargon and handling payments?

Each of the above (and many others not even mentioned) are in themselves not necessarily a big deal. However, the stress-ometer could go off the chart as soon as you begin to combine them.
