Creative RFPs on tour | Event Management RFPs

We are very excited to be launching our product in May. The time has flown since we first came up with the idea of Creative RFPs. The development team has steam coming off their fingertips and the sales team has been in, intensive training ready for its launch.

We are simply dying to showcase the product, so we thought what better way to do it, than to attend a couple of national conferences and exhibitions. The shortlist was hard, but our Marketing Director Jill and Development Director Andrew will be heading to London next week to attend 5 exhibitions, the B2B Marketing Expo at the Excel Centre in London, the Sales Innovation Expo, The Business Show, Business Start Up, Accountex, and Legal Ex on 11th and 12th May.

If that doesn’t make us busy enough spreading the word to both those interested in being a part of Creative RFPs and Creative Finder. Our MD John, is attending Thinking Digital in Newcastle to find out more about what new stuff we should be doing to make our system even more fantastic than it already is (http://www.tdcncl.com).

So that’s us covering two major cities, so we believe all good things come in threes, so we are heading to Leeds to the Buy Yorkshire Conference (http://buyyorkshire.com) on the 17th and 18th May. We’re ready for a lie down just thinking about it.

So, if you’re based on London, Newcastle or Leeds this is your chance to find out more about what we’re up too and even have a demo of our fantastic new product.

Look forward to chatting to you all more over the next couple of weeks.

Finding the right creative supplier for your business is extremely important. From research into the businesses that use Creative Finder we have been informed that they use our service for multiple reasons:

  1. They wouldn’t know who to contact, or who the best in their region are?
  2. They don’t know how to approach agencies or if they are getting a good price?
  3. They don’t know how to specify what they are looking for and don’t want agencies to take them in a direction they don’t think they need / want
  4. They want to obtain competitive quotations with the right advice and guidance
  5. They have used the same agency for years and want to see if they are getting the best deal, the best creative ideas or the best marketing approach

Struggling to win website RFPs?

Posted on by John Hudson

Struggling to win website RFPs?  Would you like us to provide feedback on your website RFPs submission?

Are you struggling to win public RFPs, or even be shortlisted when submitting proposals? Isn’t it annoying?

We have produced a blog previously about the importance of gathering feedback, but some feedback isn’t actually that helpful. For example, the client may say – cost. Well that’s helpful isn’t it?

RFPs writing is an art form.

RFP writing is an art form. Once you’ve got a formula that works for you, you’re onto a winner. No, that doesn’t mean you will win everything you go for, but it does mean that you are presenting your business in the best possible light, answering the questions that are asked of you, rather than telling them information you believe to be important and sometimes realising that less is more.

For those of you struggling to win bids, it’s sometimes good to get an outside perspective. This is what we launched Creative Growth. We work with creative agencies to help them become bid ready. We can usually see from an initial RFP review where you might be going wrong and we can help you to reduce the number of common mistakes you ate making.

Free RFP review service.

Throughout the next 12 weeks, Creative Growth is offering member companies of Creative RFPs access to a free RFP review service. We will critique one of your recent RFPs that has not been successful and provider pointers for improved success. What’s not to love about this?

If you would like us to critique one of your RFPs, you need to send us the ITT in full (including all of the supporting documents) and your response (in full, including appendices). Once we have this we will get our review complete with 14 days and offer a telephone advice session about what you need to be to be 100% RFP ready.

Please send all documents including the reference GROWTH21 to jill@creativetenders.co.uk.
