So you're new to the event industry or you're a seasoned event planner and you've heard of outside AV companies. The only problem is you are unsure of how an outside company will benefit you and if you can afford to use one.   The truth is, outside AV production companies are  often lower than the in-house provider and they bring a higher level production value.  There are inherent differences between the in-house and outside AV companies  that will affect your event, so here they are..

6 reasons you should consider using an outside AV provider:

Typically, high speed internet, power, and rigging are provided by the in-house AV company, but their prices can be ridiculous and unreasonable.  Paying fair rates for these services makes sense, however paying unreasonable rates to force you into using the in-house AV provider is wrong.  More recently customers have told us their prices change when they decide not to use the in-house AV provider.  After hearing about this over and over again, we thought we would provide a few ways to help deal with this approach.

The Clarity Story

With a desire to not accept the same substandard audio JL Lagestee set out to find a better solution. He discovered that while the equipment for live events was improving during the 1980’s the technical aptitude of the operators was not keeping pace. It was his passion to bring clear sound reinforcement to the everyday live event. These events ranged from local music concerts to school events as well as Sunday church service.   As JL moved into the production industry to bring quality audio visual to  corporate meetings and events JL passed on his desire for high quality sound, video, and lighting to his eight kids who all spent some time working in the family business. This passion for quality and creativity lived on as several members of the Lagestee family joined various audio visual companies making an indelible impression on the industry.

Do our emotions impact our experience?

Have you ever thought about how your emotions affect your satisfaction with a product or a service?  Do your feelings that day factor into the way you perceive a  product's value?  Can factors in the environment change your emotions and therefore change your experience?

When considering the purpose and agenda for your event, take note of the emotional state of your attendees and how you want them to feel when they arrive, during your event, and when the event concludes.  Emotions are strongly tied to memories and memories determine the way in which an event will be remembered over time.
