How to get more event bookings at your venue

Here is how to get more event bookings at your venue

Getting event booking at your venue is one of the biggest challenges experienced for any venue – particularly those new to the industry and, with so many venues available for hire, it can be difficult to know how to stand out above the rest. To help you, we’ll go through how to get more event bookings at your venue. 

How to get more event bookings at your venue

Make sure you have a Google Business Profile: Typically, individuals, clubs, sports groups and businesses looking for venues for hire start their search online and locally, and – because of this – having a well-thought-out and regularly updated Google Business Profile with lots of high quality images and helpful 4 and 5 star reviews is paramount to the success of your business. Google Business Profile is all about local search and helping local people find exactly what they’re looking for, locally! Invest some time in creating and updating a profile. It will do wonders for your business. 

Collect reviews: Positive 4 and 5 star reviews are going to help people understand your venue and the experiences you provide from the viewpoint of people just like them! Ensure you ask past and current customers for reviews and ask them to be honest, thorough, and detailed. An excellent venue with 50 5 star reviews is going to stand out so much more than an excellent venue with only 5 good reviews! 

Sign up to a trusted directory that specialises in your area: Singing up to an online directory that specialises in showcasing venues  just like yours is one of the most powerful things you can do to get more event bookings at your venue. Venue hire and management companies such as Schoolhire Solutions Ltd. work with venues like yours every day and have the contacts and know-how to reach exactly the type of hirer you want to attract. 

Getting more bookings at your venue doesn’t have to be difficult – create the right content, on the right platforms, and trust in the right businesses, and the bookings will come flooding in!
