DO NOT FALL INTO THE TRAP OF “NO PROFESSIONAL COMPERE OR MC”
This is NOT an opportunity to save money by asking the “Team Captain” – “Chairman” – “The team Joker in the Pack” to do the job…. At very best, they’ll be average. NOT using a professional Compere WILL cost you money.
A GOOD COMPERE IS A GREAT INVESTMENT and will play a few vitally important roles….
1. CAPITALISE ON ALL FUNDRAISING OPPORTUNITIES
One key to a good Compere is the handling of the Auction, a professional Compere’s experience WILL sell your items for the maximum achievable amount, will play the audience against one another to get their goal and squeeze as many bids out of the room as possible.
2. TOTALLY LINK THE EVENING TOGETHER
Will ensure your guests know what’s happening, when it’s happening, where it’s happening and why it’s happening, it’s so very important that the Compere is the most informed person of the events itinery.
3. HOST THE RAFFLES - DRAWS IN A PROFESSIONAL & FUN MANNER
What’s the fun in hearing raffle numbers called out for 10-15 minutes…. Don’t worry, to a professional Compere it’s a piece of cake and WILL make the draw fun.
4. INTRODUCE THE GUESTS, SPEAKERS AND COMEDIAN CORRECTLY
You may not think so, but this is so very vitally important to the Speaker and Comedian, there’s a way to introduce your guests….. & more importantly, A WAY NOT TO.
5. PLAY SECOND FIDDLE TO THE MAIN ATTRACTIONS
A good Compere knows their own strengths which they offer to the event, will know their place, and is happy to play second fiddle to the events main attractions, guests attend to listen to the stories from the household name Speaker, to laugh at the great Comedian, in fact it’s the Comedian and the Speaker that will tell you how good your Compere really is……. And of course the Treasurer the morning after…
