The Easiest Way To Rent Your Meeting Space

August 5, 2008 13:16 by nick

If you are a business trying to get rentals on eVenues you might be wondering what are some good ways to let your customers know that this service is available. Sure, we can drive some traffic through our site, and we are working night and day to help you get more, but there is an easier way. Unless your business primarily serves the Amish, you probably have a website. If you are particularly hip, you might even have a blog or MySpace profile for your venue. Why not leverage that to help you rent out the space. A quick post with a link to your listing page can make a world of difference. That's what your website is for!

Here are a few quick pointers on how to introduce this idea to your customers:

  1. Think about what the value proposition is for them. If you don't know why your customers would want to use eVenues, then they won't either. 
  2. Let them know what is in it for them. We know you are super excited about the possibilites of using eVenues, but your customers don't. Lead with this, then explain the rest.
  3. Give a brief description of how the site works. You can always include a link to our FAQ if you think they will still be confused.
  4. Include a picture of the space. This makes it much less of an abstract idea for your potential renters and more of a concrete concept.
  5. Don't pressure them. Make sure that your customers know they won't be forced to rent space. The goal is not to add a cover charge to your coffee shop, but to provide a premium service for your best customers
  6. Show your personality. This shouldn't come off as an advertisement, but as a trusted message from you. Keep it upbeat and friendly and you'll be fine.
We would love to hear from you and see how you are promoting your space. Send us a link via email and we will happily take a look at your post and let you know what we think.
