Give both suppliers the same scope
Use one location, set of dates and artwork request. State whether you expect a single campaign or repeat displays. Ask each supplier to list separate items and confirm which are included.
Planning guide
Put both suppliers on the same brief before comparing totals. Ask each to identify the format, artwork, equipment, delivery and service included. Mark any item that still needs confirmation so a missing line does not look like a saving.
What to put in your brief
Identify which costs repeat
A sealed helium balloon and a continuous-blower inflatable use different operating arrangements, as the manufacturer’s guide explains. Ask for the costs relevant to the actual product, such as inflation supplies or suitable power.
Compare responsibilities before price
Ask who handles delivery, setup, removal and any instructions for your team. Request a written explanation of exclusions, service options and how to get replacement parts or support.
