What To Consider When You Hire Digital Projector Services
When you hold an event that requires you to hire digital
projector services, there are many things that you need to consider. Many
people think that they can just call up a company that leases this type of
equipment and that everything will be just fine. That is seldom the case. There
are certain questions that you need to ask before signing that rental
agreement.
- What
is the cost of the equipment rental? Naturally, your business has a
budget, and your event has a budget. You cannot afford to blow it all on
equipment rentals. Different projectors will have different prices, and
while saving money and keeping within your budget is crucial, it is also
important that you not end up with low quality equipment for your event –
which brings us to our next point.
- What
is the quality of the hire digital projector services? Obviously, you want
the most for your money, so you need to find out what services are
included in the price of the rental, but you also need to make sure that
the equipment is of a higher quality. Nothing could be worse then getting
ready to start a presentation and having equipment that does not work at
all, or does not work well, with nothing to back it up.
- Will
the equipment be set up for you at your venue? This is a big
consideration. Lots of digital projectors are very complicated and hard to
set up properly. If you are not overly technical, you need to have this
equipment set up for you, and you also need to know how to operate it.
Make sure that this is included in the price of the rental, and make sure
that the person who sets up the equipment understands that you need
operational instruction for the equipment.
- Does
the hire digital projector project large enough for your venue and
audience? Not all projectors project images at the same rate, or in the
same size. You must consider your audience and your venue, as well as how
far away the projector has to be from the area where the images will be
displayed to ensure that you are getting a projector that suits your
needs.
- Is
technical support available? Hopefully, the projector is of high quality,
and you’ve been shown how to operate the equipment. However, this doesn’t
mean that you may not run into problems before or during your
presentation. You need to be certain that technical support will be
available via telephone during the time of your presentation.
- Will
the hire digital projector equipment be dismantled and picked up by the
service? In most cases with audio visual hire, you won’t want to be responsible for dismantling
and returning the equipment. Make sure that the service will send someone
to do this for you, and that this is included in the cost of the rental.
Also note that just because the equipment is delivered and set up for you,
this is not an unspoken indication that it will also be picked up after
your presentation. Make sure you ask about this.
