Laser Tag Manufacturer Comparisons

You want to build an incredible laser tag attraction. First you pick out one or two possible manufacturers and arena suppliers, then you ask for proposals and try to figure out exactly what you are getting for your money.

Simple right? Unfortunately, it can be a very complicated process.

The most basic laser tag systems contain many components and ongoing service and support are important. Advanced laser tag systems contain hundreds of laser tag features and components and ongoing service and support are even more critical. Comparing apples to apples is anything but simple.

Some laser tag manufacturers and arena builders exclude certain components and/or line items in their laser tag and arena proposals. These line items are often critical to figuring out the true costs of your laser tag attraction. LASERTRON provides turn-key installations, extensive training and important bells and whistles like base station targets and scoring monitors in the arena that are often excluded by other manufacturers.

A laser tag manufacturer that doesn’t provide you with the necessary training or excludes important bells and whistles is giving you less than the very best. The same goes for an arena supplier who doesn’t provide you with the true costs of building a multi-level arena.

If the arena builder excludes the cost of the steel structure to create your multi-level arena, then you can easily be looking at an additional $40,000 to $80,000 dollars in additional costs. If the arena builder doesn’t provide you with final drawings that include the actual usable space created by the steel structure and the total number of ramps to the second level, then you are not getting the information necessary to figure out the true value you are receiving for your money.

Unfortunately, each manufacturer handles such important elements as laser tag and arena installation, training, warranty, shipping and point-of-sale software in entirely different ways.

LASERTRON believes you deserve a complete system to maximize the laser tag opportunity and your potential for success. Over the years, we’ve made many components standard in our laser tag proposals because so many of our operators wanted them or benefited from them both in the short-term as well as the long-term. You get more standard features and options with your LASERTRON LT-11.5 game system and arena than any other manufacturer provides…if they provide them at all.

Because LASERTRON offers so many extra standard components and features, it’s critical that you have all the information when it’s time for you to make a decision on which laser tag manufacturer to choose.

How do you make sure you are comparing apples to apples?

You get each manufacturer to agree up front to provide a detailed comparison of everything provided as well as any additional requirements to get your laser tag attraction up and running. In addition, each manufacturer has to agree to let the other manufacturers see exactly what each manufacturer and arena supplier is providing.

We at LASERTRON believe you (the client) have the right to see all the details. Therefore, we encourage you to share our proposal with any other manufacturer while providing us with the same courtesy.

We’ll analyze our competitors quotation and show you how it compares to what LASERTRON provides as well as the costs. We will also identify any items that are missing or identify “estimates” that may effect the final price. If there are items not included in their price, then we will update our LASERTRON quote and exclude those items as well. This will help provide you with the most accurate comparison.

Other manufacturers may not want to do this, but it is essential for you to fairly compare the value provided by each manufacturer and arena supplier.

We are the first laser tag manufacturer to offer our customers an apples to apples comparison. Laser tag manufacturers and arena suppliers are not exactly excited about providing an apples to apples comparison with a LASERTRON laser tag system and arena. No other laser tag manufacturer includes all the features, options and benefits that LASERTRON provides.

Important note: recent apples to apples comparisons have even surprised us. Based on all the extra value we provide, we are usually 15 to 20% higher than other laser tag manufacturers and arena suppliers. With changes in the strength of the US dollar relative to other currencies, manufacturers located outside of the United States have been raising their prices or reducing discounts on their laser tag proposals. We have recently seen apples to apples comparisons in which we are only 7 to 11% higher. Based on such a small difference, we have seen our back log of orders increase significantly. Customers are saying, "If the difference is that small, it makes sense to go with the best."

Please avoid signing any type of confidentiality agreement with a manufacturer or arena supplier until you have had time to do the due diligence required to make a good decision for your business.
