FAQ
How does thoughtFIRE make money if the client uses Option One (No Charge) in our fee structure?Hotels and venues prefer when a booking is made via a Professional Conference Organiser (PCO) – which is what we are. Due to our experience and knowledge in this field – we can provide the hotel with quick information and exact details. This saves the hotel/venue time and makes their job easier… so they thank us by paying us for assisting them.
Where does this money come from? There is no add-on to the rates we quote a client and the process is completely open and honest – better yet – because of our long standing relationship with most hotel groups – we can still negotiate better rates for our clients!
It really is a win-win situation – your own personal event coordinator – FOR FREE! Pick up the phone and give us a call! What are you waiting for ?
What if we already have an events division in our company that deal with organising all events – would you still be able to help?Of course! In fact that’s the best relationship yet. Whilst you spend your time dealing with the important stuff like contacting speakers, sending out invitations and managing RSVPs – we will do the nitty gritty like sourcing a venue, dealing with the banqueting division at the venue, helping with menus, etc. Just use our Option One (No Charge) fee option and together we work with your department to ensure the event is a MAJOR success.
What if I have a small budget?Like we always say – our business is based on relationships! We really do pride ourselves in always giving our clients the best bang for their buck! thoughtFIRE is also supremely connected with all the hotel groups and event contractors – so we can ensure that we can negotiate rates and give you that Rolls Royce on a Polo budget.
I’m worried if I use an event manager that I will lose control of my event and not know what’s going on?Absolutely not! We work hand-in-hand with your organizing committee/events department to ensure that you are always in the know. We never make a big decision without getting confirmation first and our purpose is to ensure the client is stress-free. To us – you being stress free means feeling comfortable with our services.
We ensure that we send the client weekly updates on progress done so far and nearer the date – we are happy to do daily updates. The better informed you are – the easier our job!
