Some organizers just need cheap function rooms in Manila. Cheap enough to fit within the designated budget but not too cheap to compromise with quality. Space often becomes a concern when you are expecting a big entourage. But whenever it’s an event where the expected attendance is only 20 to 30 people, then a function room the size of a classroom would often be enough.

There are a few organizers that know how events usually go in any of these cheap function rooms in Manila. First is to inform.

Not all companies have the budget and the time to conduct marketing research. And lately, marketing research only occurs when there is an event hosted by the company. This is mostly done to conduct a soft launch. Cheap function rooms in Manila become a viable option for these new start-ups to test drive, for example, their apps or software products. Ever noticed how some apps would get created and marketed based on the shortcomings of certain social media websites? How best can these technological start ups address best a disgruntled market but by satisfying these needs? And these companies won’t know how to accomplish these tasks unless they stage an event to attract their target market.

So discussions occur. Like how this app can be the better alternative to, say, Twitter? What made it similar to other apps like Kik? Despite the presence of livestreaming mobile apps, there is a crowd that is still willing to attend events in person. Let’s face it. Before the word “networking” got soiled in definition, it was a good thing. It initially meant getting to know the keynote speaker in person and other participants in person. There is an exchange of calling cards underway and you get a hint on what “relationship marketing” could mean.

This is also why Q&A panels have become common in lecture-based events. It’s not just the keynote speaker out there talking. The participants get an opportunity to talk too. Hence the Q&A session including in the itinerary in an event booked in one of these cheap function rooms in Manila. You want to know what the market wanted? You let them tell you what they need. You, as a start-up company, in return tell them how will your software product benefit them.

What made communicators and keynote speakers like Steve Jobs successful in pitching products in big events? He will emphasize the benefits that come with his technological products. It’s not just the kind of memory that a device can hold. It’s mostly about the benefits of having an efficient device that would lighten up your workload and communicate better with your boss and teammates. Your target market will feel heard and, if you know how to position your software product in these intimate events, they will find your products crucial to accelerating their office productivity. And this brings us to our second point.

Start-ups don’t mind pitching to young urban professionals. Most of them are young urban professionals themselves except that they have taken the entrepreneurial route and discovered cheap function rooms in Manila where they can stage their soft launch. “Soft launch” is not a dirty phrase especially when you’re still out there phishing for information on how to improve your product.
