After you decide to brighten up a national holiday or boost a brand campaign with a drone show, you start thinking whom to entrust this with. It is crucial to ensure your event stands out as intended.
Use these 5 tips to evaluate the drone show company you’re willing to partner with:
1. Consider their experience and expertise.
As event organizers, you might have encountered careless service providers, who wasted your nerves or ruined your event.
To avoid this, focus on companies with a proven track record of successful shows. Check their portfolio, cases for major brands and events, awards, as well as public feedback on their shows.
2. Consider authorization and safety, it’s a must.
Medium-sized, let alone grand-scale, events are always highly crowded. Safety comes first, as no one wants to bear any health or reputational risks. Make sure you hire a company that follows the necessary regulations and has the insurance coverage for safe performance during your event.
Taking care of all paperwork is crucial. For example, Lumasky obtain flight permits, the #1 document for operating a drone show, all by itself in the UAE and Mexico, which is a huge relief for our clients.
3. Find a provider who goes for innovations and creativity.
In today’s dynamic event landscape, the wowing factor is a tandem of innovations and creativity. You need a provider that uses advanced drones with cutting-edge LED technology capable of creating intricate animations, 3D designs, dynamic color transitions, and extra top-notch features to amaze the viewers above and beyond.
Look for unique features like Lumasky’ shaped take-offs and landings, or real-time interactions with drones.
4. Test their flexibility and professionalism.
‘Things may not go as planned’, every eventer is familiar with this. Make sure to ask your provider at least this:
- Can rain cancel the drone show? What about the wind?
- If my client wants to edit animations 2 days to the show, can you do that? If it’s 1 day?
- What if a drone show should follow a singer’s performance, but she delays it for 30 minutes?
- At a multimedia event, can you sync a drone show with music, fireworks and stage dancers?
5. Consider their pricing and what exactly you get.
While cost is a No.1 factor for all drone show seekers, prioritize quality over budget. In the end, all you need is a successful show and a successful event.
