A reciprocal indemnification clause isn't just a smart addition—it’s a game-changer for event professionals looking to scale and sustain their businesses.
While standard indemnity clauses protect one party, reciprocal indemnity ensures both parties hold themselves accountable for unforeseen issues during an event. In the corporate event niche, where liability can be shared across multiple stakeholders, this clause can mean the difference between financial security and unexpected risk.
💎 Pro Tip: This clause is most effective when paired with the right insurance policy to ensure it's enforceable and beneficial when needed.

Here are 2 simple reasons why:
●We hold an 85% conversion rate on all quotes that we provide (without any discounts offered)
●We have only had to provide 1 refund in our 12 years of rental service.
💎We avoid chargebacks, refunds, and maintain high quote to conversion rates by doing 3 intentional things:
1️⃣Offering transparent rental prices
2️⃣Only service clients within our niche
3️⃣Taking heed to all communication in the quoting phase and denying bookings that present potential liabilities
📝STORYTIME:
○The refund was for a personal event client, not within our niche, that couldn't find a solution without agreeing to pay us a premium rate to solve their problem. The refund resulted from a complaint the client had about who we used to streamline solving the client's additonal problem on their behalf weeks after booking with us. (The refund was not caused by a real problem.) The client having unrealistic expectations on what it "should cost" to solve a problem that no other company was willing to solve was what caused the refund.
There were signs early into the booking reservation that the build-up for a refund was coming down the pipeline.
□The client acknowledged pricing being higher than they originally budgeted.
□At the time of event execution, the client began to tell a version of a story where they stated our company being their choice was based solely on preference and not it being the only true solution.

Top 3 Reasons you can expect to see close to a 20% increase in premium rental rates nationwide :
💎Most rental companies operate on a 15%-20% profit margin after labor & overhead expenses.
💎Consumers are the first to feel price increases. 50% of rental revenue goes to labor expenses. Labors shortages for in the rental industry is an ongoing battle. To retain good reliable staff, pay must stay competitive. With the imminent cost of living going up as a result of tariffs, staff will have to be paid more to avoid losing them.
💎Cost of all additional imported goods used for inventory preservation are increasing as result of tariffs as well like: shrink wrap, furniture covers, cleaning materials, equipment, carts and warehouse hardware, etc.
BONUS💎 Many businesses will be priced out of operating making those who survive needing to be able to acquire liquidated inventory rapidly to meet new demand or for the proactive purchasing of inventory to avoid 3-4 month acquisition timeline delays.
❓How do you prepare?
1️⃣ Source event vendors as soon as you secure date & venue
2️⃣ Pinpoint rates that work for budget and confirm that they will remain once booked
3️⃣Solidify as many resources proactively with required retainers/deposit to book as early as possible
