The key points at a glance

Event organization by Swiss Sales helps to find a suitable location for the corporate event faster and to narrow down the selection cleanly. The search is free, requests flow into the system by email, phone or website, and quotes are available after 48 hours. The service is especially sensible when the desired region is tight or self-research takes too much time.

From our experience, the real bottleneck is rarely the number of locations, but the time wasted evaluating options. Swiss Sales addresses exactly this with structured event organization that takes care of the preselection and targets the right venues.

Why is event organization so helpful in location search?

For assistants, PAs, marketing managers and event organizers, it usually comes down to three things: time, overview and cost control. If you search for a location for a corporate event yourself, you must compare regions, check availabilities, compare services and obtain offers. Swiss Sales takes care of these steps and bundles them into a clear process.

The most common misconception is that doing the research yourself will surely yield more options. In practice, it mainly costs time and makes the decision less clear, because every inquiry is answered differently and comparability suffers.

Who is Swiss Sales location mediation suitable for?

Fits especially well when ...Not suitable when ...
the right location in the desired region is not yet knowna fixed location is already booked
the event has multiple requirements, e.g. overnight stay and team activityonly a simple direct booking without options is needed
time for offers, comparison and inquiries is limitedthe research should be internally self-managed
Suitability and clear delimitation for location search

Swiss Sales describes its own role as support where needed, from the location to social activities to speakers and trainers. For this article perspective it is especially important: the service is intended for corporate events with concrete requirements, not for purely private events.

How does the search work and how long does each step take?

  1. The inquiry comes into the system by email, phone or website.
  2. Swiss Sales captures the need and creates the internal request from it.
  3. An RFP is sent to suitable locations.
  4. Offers are available after 48 hours.
  5. The proposals are forwarded to the client and the desired location is booked.

Swiss Sales

In client projects we repeatedly notice that the value is not the offer itself but the preparation beforehand. If the briefing is captured clearly, responses become more comparable and the decision is made much faster.

What do the services cost and where are the limits?

The service is free. The main cost driver is not Swiss Sales but the chosen location itself, i.e. factors like length of stay, number of participants and scope of services. In the example of Company A it was three days, 20 people, overnight stay and team activity, i.e. a setup with several components.

What you should still pay attention to

One real limit has not been named. The practical obstacle lies more in the regional question: if an area is tight, targeted search and clean evaluation of alternatives are required. That is exactly what Swiss Sales takes care of, so a potential bottleneck does not become an unnecessary block.

What alternatives exist to self-research?

The most obvious alternative is your own search. It may appear flexible at first glance, but internally it ties up many resources because each house has to be checked and compared individually. Swiss Sales relies here on external preselection so internal time does not vanish into dozens of individual inquiries.

If you need multiple components at once, e.g. location, overnight stay and framework program, centralized event organization also reduces coordination effort. This is particularly relevant when not only the location must be right but the whole corporate event should fit together.

Frequently asked questions

What do I do if our desired region has almost no suitable locations left?
Then targeted search with alternatives is worthwhile instead of broad self-research. Swiss Sales checks suitable options and can also classify backup solutions without you having to inquire at every location yourself. This keeps the search actionable even if the region is tight.
How time-consuming is the preparation for a request?
The cleaner you specify the details, the faster the preselection. In practice, a clear briefing on date, number of people, duration and add-ons like overnight stay or activity helps. From this, the comparability of offers arises.
Is the service also useful if we plan only a small event?
Yes, provided the location still has several requirements to meet or there is little internal time. Even smaller setups can trigger disproportionate effort with manual search. The key is not the size but the complexity of the event.
How quickly can we expect first offers?
In the described process offers are available after 48 hours. This assumes the inquiry was captured cleanly and the suitable locations can be addressed directly. For the further decision process you gain a very clear time frame.

For a corporate event with clear requirements, event organization at Swiss Sales is mainly a lever against unnecessary search effort. If you want to save time, keep the overview and compare costs in a structured way, a professionally managed location search is usually better than separate searching.

Especially in tight regions, the advantage is most evident: instead of wading through unsuitable options, you receive targeted suitable proposals and can decide faster. If you are looking for a location for your corporate event, this is the most pragmatic path to a reliable selection.
