Tips for choosing the right AV partner

Getting the perfect inhouse audiovisual supplier can completely transform your venue, writes AVisual Productions director Brad Byrne.

When choosing an audiovisual supplier, there are key factors that should be considered – and the success of your venue can hinge on them.

Pricing flexibility

There has been a growing conversation within the events industry about the challenges posed by high-end and rigid pricing models. While premium services often come with a premium price tag, it’s crucial to work with suppliers who understand the importance of adaptability.

A truly valuable partner will go beyond a one-size-fits-all approach, tailoring solutions that align with the unique needs of your clientele.

Equipment and installation

A premium AV supplier should work with your venue’s aesthetics to create an inviting, visually cohesive environment. Are they mindful of the design of your space, or will the setup clash with your venue’s ambiance? Whether it’s a subtle integration or a standout LED wall, equipment should enhance the venue’s appeal to prospective clients.

Scalable support

Not all venues have the same AV needs. Smaller venues might benefit from remote support options, while larger or unique spaces may prefer onsite, full-service solutions. Some venues also prefer to retain ownership of their audiovisual equipment so flexibility in service offerings is essential. Choose a supplier that can adapt to your specific requirements.

Personnel

Having an onsite representative with authority to adjust offerings and provide added value on the spot can streamline operations and elevate client experiences. The best AV partners empower their teams to act without constant escalation, ensuring smooth communication and flexibility.
