[QUOTE="Brian jojade, post: 97493, member: 211"] Re: What is your competition like? Word of mouth is the most powerful advertising you can have. People that organize events tend to know other people that organize events, and if you do a good job, they will recommend you. It's best to go after NEW events, or events that are quickly outgrowing their existing providers. You can build a solid reputation from that. If you decide to go after events that existing companies are working, you will burn your internal bridges in the business pretty quickly. Plus, if you can take those events away, that means they are quick to switch providers, so next year, someone else may get the job instead of you. My business pays for itself with about 12 regular jobs per year. Some years I do more than that, but sometimes not. When I do more, I can buy more toys for me. :) [/QUOTE]
