How to choose quality suppliers for your sporting events?
Imagine arriving at the day of your event and discovering that the sound and lighting personnel have bailed out (given up/not shown up). Be aware that the wrong choice of one or more suppliers can lead your event into total chaos, creating many difficulties for you.
That’s why it is crucial to select your partners with the utmost care. After all, every small detail can truly make a difference. Remember that all suppliers must work in synergy, since even if only one of them is absent or works inadequately, it could seriously compromise the work of all the others.
To help you organize an unforgettable sports event, we have put together valuable suggestions for choosing your suppliers correctly. This way, you will reduce the risk of having unpleasant surprises and will be able to organize your event with greater peace of mind. Keep reading to find out which steps to follow!
Read the reviews
The first step to finding a good supplier is to get suggestions from trusted people, such as acquaintances and colleagues, or, when that's not possible, search for reviews on the internet. Check the supplier's reputation on the main web channels (like Trustpilot, for example) to get a more complete picture of both the company's reliability and its customer satisfaction.
Also, remember to take a look at the supplier's social media channels: you will certainly find important information about the quality of the services offered, including customer reviews. Obviously, this won't be enough to make the final decision about a supplier, but it will allow you to get to know them better and understand whether to rule them out or not.
Analyze the proposals and quotes carefully
Another important thing is to read the proposal presented by the supplier carefully. See what services/products are included and verify that it offers everything you need: it makes no sense to choose an inexpensive proposal if it doesn't meet your needs, right?
To get an idea of the costs, request quotes from multiple suppliers, so you can calculate an average. Obviously, everyone likes to save money, but check that the offer is complete and of quality, otherwise you will find yourself having to face problems later.
Ask for samples of products and services
Do you want to offer refreshment at your event? Then ask for a tasting, just as if you were organizing any other event with catering, because it is the only way to know if the meals will actually be high quality and aligned with the event.
The same reasoning applies to other types of products and services. Don't be afraid to order a sample: this will allow you to be certain that the contracted supplier meets your expectations.
Choosing the right suppliers greatly affects the outcome of the event. It is therefore essential to carefully analyze the offers received in detail, from timing to product quality, from customer reviews to the company's reputability.
