Entertainment is vital in corporate events. Being tasked with hiring an entertainer who will amuse a diverse crowd and fit the theme for the day is a challenging endeavor to accomplish. Of course, you always want the attendees to feel comfortable as your entertainer delivers exciting content that is appropriate across the table. Follow these steps while hiring, and you can be sure to find the very best entertainer you are yearning for:
1) Choose The Content
While looking to recruit an entertainer, choose the content you would like delivered as part of the entertainment. Entertainment in corporate events can be in the form of music, craft ideas, magic, fortune tellers, and even comedy. Choosing content depends on the corporate event being hosted and the time awarded for the entertainment acts. Once you settle on the entertainment content, you can start shopping around and looking for referrals for the best people in that field. If your event is in Australia, and you chose magic as your source of entertainment, Vyom Sharma would be your ideal candidate. He provides tailor-made content to fit your event and delivers world-class performance with his exceptional magic and mental presentations.
2) Initiate Contact
Once you have settled on an entertainer, initiate Contact. This can be done by just making a phone call, emailing, and booking an appointment. During this time, the entertainer should give a quotation of his or her charges and availability on the day you would like to host your event. However, some entertainers may provide all the information you need via phone, and meetings would only be optional. This process helps you review the entertainer and analyze if he or she is the best fit. If you need tailor-made content, inform the entertainer beforehand to ensure he or she meets your standards and requests.
3) Sign A Contract
Contracts are binding and legal. You should sign one with the entertainer, too. The deal should have details such as the mode of payment, the duration of the entertainment, time, venue, date, and the fees agreed upon. This ensures that every party knows what is expected of them. The contract should also stipulate the actions to be taken if the contract is breached. The agreement improves the level of professionalism of both parties involved.
4) Have A Plan ‘B’
There may be some instances where an entertainer may fail to show up. Before D-day, call the entertainer to confirm his or her availability or brief him or her in case of any changes. Entertainers can frustrate event planners due to last-minute cancellations. You should have a second option. This option may come with different terms since they may not entertain the guests if your leading entertainer shows up. The best option is to ensure that your Plan ‘B’ entertainer shows up and is paid, whether he or she gets to perform or not. Another option would be to request other entertainers to increase their performance time, and this ensures the time slot allocated to the leading entertainer is well utilized so that guests do not get to notice any gap.
