How Much is an Event Management Fee?

A common question asks by first-timers in tapping the services of an event management company in the Philippines.

The common practice is 15-20% of the total cost of the event.

But Exlinkevents is not a commoditized event management company in the Philippines. Our event management fee is dependent on the objectives and scope of work of clients.

It is always customized. How do you value an event management company that takes ownership of your event and has been in the industry for more than two decades?

Most of our clients are repeat clients meaning they are happy with us!

Cost is always relative. Value is not.

Hard work versus talent in the event management industry in the Philippines.

But only a few are talented.  Most and the reality in the event management industry, you have to love hard work.

There is no other option for you and your event management team. You must march and be steadfast to finish the job. Make the night day. Give you all to accomplish the small details that contribute to the big success.

Hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard.

We still have an average of 2,000 plus Covid Cases weekly. The traffic in Metro Manila is back to its terrible state.

Recently, in one of the events I attended, four of the participants caught Covid 19 after the event.

My point we need to maximize Hybrid Event - it is a better alternative for a full physical event. Second, we need to maximize online communications at our events.

We are harping about sustainability, and yet, we wanted to go back to our old ways.

We have a chance to reduce our carbon footprint and be more efficient in event management in the Philippines. 

Let us champion this cause and convince our clients.

Definitely, your investment is worth it!

These need all points to achieve event objectives and satisfy the owner of the event. An event is about creating an experience. An experience designed to satisfy attendees and the event owner.

God is in the details. 

The Event Management team is obsessed with the details of the event.  Besides that, top event management companies in the Philippines go the extra mile to deliver beyond the expected details of the event.

This is where the magic happens. 

Regardless if the event management team delivers beyond or as expected event owners or clients are happy.

Event Management is hard work. A service that is difficult to deliver but when it is delivered creates memorable, long-lasting experiences and continuous profit.

What's your upcoming event?

A question asked a lot of times to an event professional.  There is nothing bad about this question but it is just scratching the surface of the event professionals' totality.

If we can ask, "what lessons have you gained from your last event? I think we can dive deeper into the mind of the event professional.

It is a wonderful mind full of organized chaos.

"In sports, one of the primary sources of advantage is choosing how to play the game. In life, one of the primary sources of advantage is choosing which game to play."  - James Clear

In the Philippine event management industry, you have to choose the type of events you want your company to be known.

After establishing your expertise, authority, and trustworthiness, it is time to select the group of customers you want to serve.

Never get all the events that appear on your table. Most importantly, never serve all clients that appear on your table.

If you do, you will perish in this industry.

Choose your battle. Always play to win.
