Lalupita's Business & Marketing

Are you the office of a speaker and take your money, from the continuation phase the price you offer is the most important to determine how much money you make from the sale of an event.

When I started managing the return of sale-room table in the events of late 1990, the typical price you saw in practice was very small. $ 97 197 $ and $ 397 bids were the norm. Rarely seen a package of one thousand dollars or more available.

Then, in the new century rolled and began to see prices rise. Soon, it was common to see the range of products to offer 497 USD 997 USD 1,997 USD with the occasional and more often. In mid 2000, I would say that the platform offers, the average price was probably around mile mark.

And then continued to increase. As we have 2007, 2008 and early 2009, the rule more or less the offer is less than $ 1,997 $ 2,497 and other items is not uncommon to have. Some have even offered $ 10K $ 25K $ 15K in packages or events.

Over the last two years with the economy in ruins, from the price points, one step back. “Talking more and more back in the price of 997 $ and has acknowledged the difficulties encountered by people in the world today.

But the price is right for you? Taking into account the normal expression pattern, which is a 50/50 split of revenues with the promoter of the event, then you must make sure that you generate sufficient net revenues of more than the cost of attending Event to pay. Yes, he normally pays for their travel expenses and make profits in the sales division in back room.

If you can sell $ 50K, $ 100K or more in a case, then the travel costs were almost non-factors. But if you want to sell a $ 5K event, you can lose your shirt at the time the division factor and support their travel expenses in the mixture.

Why the price is so critical. Only a few sales of $ 5000 or more can be very rewarding because you sell a large quantity of a product for $ 500 must be a profitable event. And remember that some operators have in their contract with you in a minimum sale price. Usually, they make their platform speakers can generate more money for them.

Pricing can be a difficult situation. This is the maximum revenue (which the developer wants), or is it the maximum number of entries (some players you want, and know they do more of their money)?

Just be sure to consider the approach that does not speak for the poor is the way back. Make sure the price is high enough to make a positive event for you and the organizers. Believe me, the word spreads quickly in the field, which enables the developer and if you want to be invited on stage more, then you need to do to developers.
