Commonly asked questions and answers about us

Q: Who owns Marquee Hire Info?
A: The marquee directory is owned by Regency Events Ltd. We are a long established Channel Island events company with the Editor based in Poole in Dorset.
Q: Why is Marquee Hire Info different to other directories?
A: The major factor which sets us above other directories is the sheer number of page one search results. We are Internet marketing professionals. Search on just about any relevant search term with Google or any other search engine and you are likely to find us on page one. With 1,200+ page one results we can guarantee advertisers maximum exposure in your local market. More importantly, solid quality bookings. 
Q: Some other internet directories advertise on Google, why don't you advertise?
A: The main difference is Google pays us to display ads, rather than the other way around. We don't advertise with the search engines because customers will find us anyway. In fact internet users are twice as likely to click on the natural search results as they are on the paid search results.
Q: Some other internet directories provide customer sales leads, why don't you?
A: Personally we wouldn't complete a form on line with personal information and agree to have it sent to a number of businesses who we don't know. The benefits of this type of marketing are debatable. We prefer to re-direct potential customers directly to our advertisers own websites.
Q: I advertise with Yellow Pages or Yell.com, so why should I bother?
A: Again, it's a question of being found on the web. Where it really counts (in the search results) these types of directories are nowhere to be seen. Printed telephone directories are dead in the water compared with the growing number of internet users.
Q: Some other internet directories offer a free trail, why don't you?
A: We don't feel we need to, although from time to time we may have special offers. We have a steady stream of new advertisers willing to pay and the vast majority are pleased with the results and renew for a second year.
Q: I don't have a website, can I still advertise in Marquee Hire Info?
A: Yes you can. If you advertise in 3 or more counties (minimum £120), we will provide you with a free one page website. Your webpage can include your business name, address, phone number, email address, logo, details about your business and several photos. (You will need a few digital photos and be able to email them to us). Please contact the Editor to make arrangements. The webpage service is free, all you pay is the standard advertising rate.
Q: How can I get free exposure for my business on Marquee Hire Info?
A: There are two ways to promote your business free. Firstly, we publish articles about the events industry. If you would like to write an informed article about almost any subject of interest to do with the events industry, we will consider publishing it (with a free link to your business website). Ideally, you will also need a couple of images to go with the article. Please click here for more information.

Secondly, we have various image galleries. We are keen to expand these image galleries and companies with really interesting photos can have them published with a link to your website. (All copyrights are fully protected). Our image gallery can provide some valuable free exposure and you don't need to be an advertiser to submit images.

Q: What else if free?
A: Existing advertisers can advertise their used hire stock or surplus equipment for sale for free, click here for more information.
Q: How do I arrange a business listing with Marquee Hire Info?
A: Select the page you want to list your business. On the page you will find a link to the advertising booking form.
Q: How can I pay for my listing?
A: We offer two options. Firstly, you may pay by cheque. Just select the cheque payment option by email or by post. Secondly, we offer a secure payment on line option with 2Checkout using your credit or debit card.
Q: When will my business listing be live on the site?
A: We create business listings / advertisements as soon as you have made payment, usually within 24 hours.
Q: How long will my business listing be displayed on Marquee Hire Info?
A: All listings are for 12 months. We will invoice you for the second year after the first 12 months (there is no obligation to renew listings).
Q: How many enquiries will I get?
A: This depends on how many counties you list under. For an example, one of our advertisers receives between 170 and 280 referrals a month. Success rates will vary, but our click through rate is extremely high.
