Generate an extra $10,000 a year.

Many suppliers wont.

‍

But why?

‍

The fear of upsetting the customer?

‍

“Brides find up-selling to pushy”.

‍

Now we’re seeing staff, fuel & manufacturing costs going up ⬇️ and hire prices staying the same 📉..

‍

Maybe it is time to start up-selling?

‍

Imagine earning an additional $100 per booking.

‍

100 bookings a year would generate a further $10,000.

‍

What could you do with another $10,000?

• Pay rent.
• Finance on a new van.
• Buy new equipment.
• Increase the marketing budget.

‍

An extra $10,000 can go a long way.

‍

In the events industry there's a lot of opportunity to up-sell with multiple up-sell items and with customers that are ready to spend $$$.

‍

Check out the graph below, and see how much more turnover you will make if you can increase the average order value by just 2.5%.

‍

After interviewing a dozen tent rental companies and asking what their most lucrative up-sell items were, we started to see trends. 

‍

Best performing up-sell items from 12 UK based Marquee Hire Companies in 2021

‍

• Poseur tables.
• External festoon lighting.
• Stage units.
• Matting Walkway.
• Internal bunting.
• Disco balls.
• Entrance Kit (Easel, Coat Rail, Trestle Table & Linen).

‍

4 ways you can up-sell.

‍

1. This one is easy, start doing it. It’s not cheesy, you're not a snake oil salesman. It makes business sense.
2. Set an automated email to be sent 2 weeks before an event. This email should include last-minute hire items that can be easily forgotten. (easel board, fairy lighting, bunting, etc).
3. Create brochures for different themes. Within each brochure display up-sell items that match the theme.
4. Send images of hire items with upgrade options.

‍

Up sell challenge 

‍

Now you know what items to up-sell here is your challenge.

‍

Every booking from today, try and make $100 from either one or all of the above items.

For example:

‍

7x Poseur tables at $15 = $105

Festoon lighting around the perimeter of the tent = $100-200.

Stage units 3 x $35 = $105

Matting walkway with festoon lights on crooks = $130

Internal bunting $50

‍

 Good luck.
