A/V Tech Labor Cost
Can anyone tell us how much labor you are spending on A/V tech services as a percentage of total revenue?Trey ZieglerFacilites ManagerThe University of Southern MississippiThad Cochran Center 211118 College Drive #5067 | Hattiesburg MS 39406Office: 601 266 4400 | Cell: 678 294 6348 -

Trey,?
Before I start gathering information and answer a question you are not asking by mistake, are you looking for A/V tech service costs in terms of integration and repair services or event staffing? I ask because we provide event coverage and charge clients for event coverage but work with local integrators for install/maintenance in our many facilities. Please let me know so I can try and get some information for you!?

Hello!?
I am not exactly sure I know what you are asking either but I can do my best to provide some info from our end.
We charge our clients that use our space, prices vary depending the type of client(Student vs Department etc), and the space that they are reserving. We then also charge clients for the technical support of their event. This also varies based on the type of client. I don’t know that I have the numbers to tell you what percentage of our tech charges make up our total revenue.?
In terms of what we are spending on A/V services? Are you subcontracting AV to support your events? There are rare instances when will will reach out to freelance audio/video/lighting techs in the area when we are short staffed during a busy time. But those charges are also passed on to the client. What we spend? I have 2 professional staff technicians supporting our spaces and events as well as 15 students providing additional support.?
Hope this helps!?
