Welcome to our website!
First, we, simply, want to say thanks for visiting our website and giving us the opportunity to showcase our company and what we do. Second, we think it is absolutely cool that you stopped by our “About Us” page to learn a bit more about who we are, and what we do. We know your time is valuable, so, we’re gonna do our best to tell you our story, what we do, who we are and how we do it, with as little fluff as possible.
What Do We Do?
Star Cannon Searchlights is a nighttime event promotions company. We specialize in using promotional searchlights and spotlights to attract attention to your nighttime event. Promoting a nighttime event presents its own set of specific challenges that daytime events are not burdened with. See this article, for more information about the challenges of nighttime event promotion and how searchlights are the best tool to get your event noticed and attract a crowd. (Sorry Article Coming Soon)
We also provide searchlight rental services to individuals and companies that; are not necessarily looking to promote a nighttime event but, are looking to create an exciting nighttime atmosphere that lets people attending the event know that they and the event are important.
Who Are We?
Star Cannon Searchlights is based in Orlando, Florida. It was informally founded in 2004, by Tom Glover, as a searchlight advertising and marketing consulting business. Prior to 2004 and through 2008, Tom worked with several Florida based searchlight rental companies as both an installation specialist, and consultant. In 2008, for various reasons, several of these companies either withdrew from the Florida market, or were merged into larger companies. Due to the changes with service providers in the market Tom saw a larger business opportunity, and formally founded Star Cannon Searchlights.
Since 2008 We have steadily grown to provide promotional searchlights and nighttime event promotion consulting in a service area that has quickly expanded beyond, Orlando and the Central Florida area to now include the entire state of Florida, Georgia, South Carolina and Alabama.
We have now grown to include several searchlight installation specialists, a marketing manager and an ever growing rental fleet of promotional searchlights.
How Do We Do What We Do?
We work with you, your event planner or the event promoter to determine, what your goals are for using promotional searchlights, how many searchlights are best to accomplish those goals, how they will be configured and where they will be installed at the event venue.
Every event is different. Every event venue is different. A promoter of a large outdoor music festival will have several goals; like, attracting people to the event itself, guiding people to certain areas within the event venue, to simply dominating the night sky over the event. On the other hand, a restaurant promotion; for instance a McDonald’s, will likely have only one goal in mind; to attract people to the location from within a certain distance from its location. So, it will need far fewer searchlights than the music festival, and will likely need them configured and installed differently.
The bottom line is that we will work with you, to find the right balance of promotional searchlights to make your nighttime event a success and stay within your budget.
