Most Event companies do not think about creating a company profile until a prospective clients asks for it. Could you be one of those people who have just received a request from a client and do not know where to start or what to add on your company profile?
First things first, A company profile is a marketing tool that is written to introduce a company and tells the reader about the company activities, mission, goals and strengths, experiences products and services.
A company profile goes on to highlight your brand’s unique qualities. With a company profile be assured that you will give a lasting impression to your prospects and this can turn to be the key to your company’s success.
Thinking about this, then it is important for you to draft a good and comprehensive profile because the way you present your profile will affect your customer’s perception and finally the decision to engage or not to.
Never be intimidated by other company’s profiles. Remember that there is no specific length of profiles. If you are a startup or a medium sized company it is okay to have a short profile that has 1 to 3 pages. On the other hand large company profiles depend on a number of factors like the audience, the experiences, the team members and other factors that are considered by the company’s age and its size.
The more complete your profile, the better the odds that prospective client will find you and choose you over other incomplete profiles. So don’t get lazy – fill out every single section of the profile builder.

Don’t forget to touch on what the company stands for i.e. Mission statement/vision, Established dates, descriptions of products and services, Brief overview of history, growth and development. Your welcoming words should be clear, interesting and straight to the point.
