Training Day

Training is crucial for organizational development and success! It’s beneficial to both employers, employees and clientele. In the ever changing field of audio visual and production, quarterly trainings are paramount. Learning new gear is continuous and never ending in nature, ya’ll! We have summed up the benefits of why we insist on training our people well.

Training improves morale of employees! An employee will become more efficient and productive if he is trained properly and feels that he/she is moving forward in their career. Did you know that our customers rave about how enjoyable our technicians are to work with? Just check out all those 5 Star Google Reviews!

Less supervision is required of our team as they are all “in the know” when it comes to gear and expectations. This enables us all to stay in our own lanes so to speak and work together to keep that customer service rating at 100%.

Fewer accidents is another benefit to training in any line of work. However, when rigging (which puts our guys high up in the air) we all need to know what do to do stay safe. Our team has a training entirely devoted to this topic just to ensure safety!

Audio Visual Production Misconceptions

We wanted to chat about some of the most common misconceptions about the audio visual production industry. “Its just lights so it should be cheap, right?” or what about “The cost of labor is too expensive!”, and “This isn’t complicated so anyone can set it up”.

Lets look at lighting. This is a major aspect of event production, event atmosphere depends on it! Lighting sets the mood and ties all the décor together for your event. The lights we use to create magic are of a super specialized technology which require a lot of maintenance and upkeep! The lighting consoles we use to control these lights are complex and require constant updating and technician training. There’s a lot that goes into this event aspect if you really think about it!

Labor costs are not as high as you may think considering all you are getting for your money. A well trained tech team is required to load in and set up audio, lighting and video equipment ( plus break down and load out post event). Also needed are riggers to ensure that everything is installed safely, as well as properly trained techs for safe wiring and to operate audio mixing and lighting boards. Our highly trained staff is a one stop shop! We offer all the things!

We assume your goal is to create a magical, memorable environment with seamless technical execution! We do that for our clients every day, but it isn’t always easy. The entire process of arriving at a finished product for you on event day is often a long one. Often starting with site visits, then design, scheduling & planning and finally implementation. Our highly trained technicians will be on hand the duration of your event to operate lighting and sound flawlessly.

We are absolutely ready to work within your budget so don’t be afraid to give us a call.

Cheaper AV Isn’t Better

Choosing the right AV company is crucial to the success of your event! In our experience, the cheaper audio visual company is not always the best way to go. Here’s why.

Cheaper company means older less reliable gear. At Fox, we are adamant about having the newest, high quality equipment. Not only is it cosmetically nicer to look at but it’s much more dependable as well. We don’t take any risks when it comes to our reputation (and yours, too!)

Cheaper also means your technicians will likely not be as experienced as the other guys. This is a no brainer, your more experienced and professional technicians will cost more to employ! Everyone knows that old saying “Ya get what ya pay for!”, and we have found this to be true.

Why take the risk with the cheap guys? The seamless execution of technical details are critical to your event or meeting’s success! And truth be told? The majority of audio visual production companies are willing to work within your budget. You just need to ask!

Why Hotels Want You to Use Them not Us

Did you know that some venues will make commission when booking audio visual services through their contracted provider? If you ask to bring in your own team of Technical Specialists, there goes the hotel’s incentive pay.

But, let us keep in mind that hotels make much more profit from F&B and hotel meeting room rentals than audio visual. What’s our point? If they make more money in other event areas, it can’t be that difficult to bring in your favorite audio visual team! All you need to do is say that you are doing it, and viola! Done deal.

On a side note, it is a good idea to bring outside quotes into your negotiations to drive down in-house costs, no matter the provider you choose.

In our many combined years of experience in the a/v industry, we will have to say that using Technical Specialists are the way to go. The quality of work will be noticeably better and audience engagement significantly improved.
