This provides hosts with the perfect opportunity to interact with their guests, maximising the effect of corporate entertainment. Our staff will attend to every detail to create a relaxed atmosphere; leaving customers free to do what they do best – impress their guests!
Keith Prowse Top 10 Tips to Buying Hospitality
As the UK gears up for a Golden Decade of Sport, Keith Prowse has launched an easy-to-use guide to ensure that corporates buy bona fide hospitality packages.
With the market approaching £1bn and limited regulation of the sector, the lines between official and opportunistic, unofficial suppliers has become blurred:
- Always buy from a supplier who is accredited as an ‘official’ supplier. Think of it as a warrant of quality that has been endorsed by the rights holder of the event.
- Do not be fooled by the telesales call that offers ‘a table that has just become free, as a client has just cancelled’. This poorly conceived sales tactic is overused and often a year ahead of the actual events taking place!
- Be sure to ask the source of the tickets which make up the corporate hospitality packages. Working with the rights holder means that official suppliers will have bona fide tickets sourced directly (and these tickets should always be located together).
- Always check the cancellation policies that have been put in place by the hospitality provider.
- The hospitality industry is unregulated. If you have any doubt whatsoever, contact the host venue directly. They will know immediately who the appointed suppliers are and will be able to verify any questions or queries you may have.
- Do not be taken in by spectacular photography, costly looking brochures and collateral. These do not necessarily reflect what you will get on the day.
- Be price conscious. Do not get sucked into buying the cheapest as low prices don’t necessarily mean value for money.
- Read the contract and check exactly what is included in the corporate hospitality package.
- Ask for the locations of the facilities that make up the package. They should all be close by; be very wary of having to leave the grounds for lunch!
- If you have any doubt at all, ask for previous client recommendations and endorsements.
