In the current economic climate many entrepreneurs are reluctant
to open their own businesses, but Coventry based Hotdog
Presentations has bucked the trend, by beginning trading and
attracting several major clients in just a few weeks.
Hotdog Presentations offers clients a complete solution, as not
only do they specialise in AV hire, conferences, events and AV
installations, they also offer full marketing and advertising
services, which is especially attractive to conference clients and
hotels who need a 'totally branded' event.
Hotdog is owned and run by AV professional Tom Stevens-Moore who
has over a decade of experience in the industry, and Andrea
Stevens-Moore who has over twenty years of experience in marketing
and advertising.
Operating from an office and warehouse in Binley, Coventry, the
Hotdog team began trading at the end of September and has already
attracted many clients, including hotel giants Hilton Hotels,
Menzies Hotels and Mecure Hotels.They have also just booked in
their third conference and fourth AV installation.
Director Andrea Stevens-Moore explains why Hotdog has hit the
ground running so successfully. "With our years of experience in AV
and marketing, we understand exactly what our customers expect, how
we can improve upon the kind of service they normally receive, and
how to brand and market ourselves effectively. We therefore offer a
boutique solution - first class new equipment and a speedy
responsive service, but at a budget price, which is so important in
today's tough economic climate."
www.hotdogpresentations.co.uk was launched within a few days of
the business opening and is already proving to be a good income
generator. Social media has also played a bit part in Hotdog's
success, as the regular use of Facebook and Twitter has allowed
offers and promotions to be publicised with little cost.
As well as serving Coventry and the surrounding areas, Hotdog is
perfectly placed to offer a full nationwide service, which many
clients are already seeing as a valuable advantage.
Summing up Hotdog Presentations successful start, co owner Tom
Stevens-Moore said. "Our years of experience has shown us that
clients rightly expect the best service and equipment, even when
budgets are tight. Hotdog meets and surpasses that need, each and
every time, which is why more and more companies and venues, trust
us to take care of their audio visual needs. We were concerned in
the planning stages that this may not be the right time, given the
current financial climate, to launch a business. But we had such
faith in our corporate positioning and dedication to our ideals, we
decided the time was as good as any. We're so pleased to have got
off to such a flying start, and are very grateful to the many
clients who have been forward thinking enough to give us a go, and
have now become loyal and happy regular customers."
