So would you organize everything on your own or would you seek to hire from some of the best event and party organizers in Kenya?
Recently a close associate bulked to pressure and reluctantly decided to hire an event management company for the first time. He has always said that hiring such firms is a waste of time and money. They increase the budget, never get things done right etc. We had the accountant closely monitor the expenditure and then compare with previous ocassions when he has done everything inhouse.
Okay to cut a long story short it got one of his long time employees fired. It was discovered that the nice, innocent looking lady had been inflating at least two items on the list and pocketing the difference. But even minus those misapproptiated funds it cost Kshs 495 less when he hired the event organizer.
And then you have to factor in the time he and other staff members had to put in running around and making calls. Valauble time that would have been better spent serving clients to earn real money for the business.
This true story just confirmed what I have always known. You cannot compete with people who do the thing every day. They know the cheapest suppliers and they know where things usually go wrong blah blah blah. If you get the right company with good references they will always end up being cheaper and more efficient. Period.
Interesting and instructive food for thought for any business executive or even private party planner.

Chris, these business features are informative and all. But we need our daily dose of politics. There is so much happening bwana.
ReplyDeleteImage is everything. Use the wrong party planner, end up in a mess and mess up your image built over many years in an instant. Think about it.
ReplyDeleteI appreciate your effort to write on the topic like event planning in Kenya. Event décor and planning takes a lot of effort and to find a right event décor company is a tedious task. Interestingly, even we deal in similar services. We at Event house Kenya deals on event decorations and lightings for private and corporate events like birthday parties, weddings, corporate meets, product launches, etc. in Kenya. We also plan baby showers, explicitly keeping in mind the client’s specifications. And we also have a vast collection of themes for the same.
