| If you are planning to
rent Audience Response
equipment, it is important to
know about the company you are renting from and the quality of the services that
they offer. It should come as no surprise that in this industry there are
good audience response providers, and shall we say, some not so good ones.
Because the cost of entry is relatively low, we have seen many fly-by-nights
enter the audience response business, make a killing, and get out before anyone is the wiser.
Unfortunately, they typically provide very poor service, often times resulting in
failed presentations. This has done irreparable harm to the audience
response industry, and
has left some end-users skeptical of the technology.
The good news is that there are many quality minded audience response companies out there, both
old and new. And, because the technology has become rather mainstream,
there is less end-user apprehension than ever before.

Tips When Renting Audience Response Equipment and Services
-
You must get a written price quote, no informal
over-the-phone prices. If the audience response company wont provide a written quote, don't
walk...run.
-
Be sure the quote includes estimated shipping costs,
and estimated travel costs.
-
Make certain that line items clearly identify all
audience response equipment and technical services; i.e., the
number of keypads, base stations, technicians, and antenna packages.
-
Be prepared to pay a deposit of anywhere from 25% to
50% with your order.
-
Get your meeting site information, and audience
response
questions to your vendor as quickly as possible. If you don't, you'll hurt
your own project.
-
Whenever possible, make their technician's travel
arrangements yourself. In that way, there will be no question on flight
choices versus fares.
-
Treat the project seriously, giving it sufficient
attention. Keep in mind that as with any project, incorporating Audience
Response Technology requires an investment of your effort to be successful.
