How Much to Rent a Tent for a Party or Event
So, the first thing you're thinking is probably: "Is it worth the investment?" Are you an event or rental company owner? Are you tasked with making smart decisions that will boost your company's bottom line? If so, the answer is YES. Buying a tent to rent again and again is the obvious choice.
Depending on your market, you can expect to charge between $.75 and $1.50/square foot for the rental of your tent.
Check your competitors to make sure you're in line with what the market will bear, and consider a few factors that might make your higher price tag more appealing to your clients:
- Condition of your tent: Brand new, sparkling white tents rent for more than a tent that has seen better days
- Set up fees: Consider building them into your rental price or pricing the labor separately
- Add-ons: Are you including lighting and chair rental in the cost of your tent rental? You may want to offer these a la carte.
Don't forget that a good guideline, when deciding what kind of tent to invest in, is to allow 10 square feet per person. Think about your average event numbers and plan accordingly.
Three Reasons Why You Should Offer Rental Tents
Convenience
As a business owner, you know that customers are almost always willing to pay for convenience. Whether you’re renting out a large number of tables and chairs, an event space, or you’re helping the host coordinate the night’s festivities, adding a variety of tents to your company’s inventory is an excellent way to profit from convenience. Instead of having to search for their own tents after they’ve agreed to do business with you, you can lighten your clients’ workload and provide them with a variety of options.
Better Customer Service
There’s no such thing as customer service that’s too good. Offering your clients rental tent options is an exceptional way to provide them with the convenience they deserve; it’s also a fantastic opportunity to improve your business’ customer service. You and your employees will become well-versed in tent terminology, from cross-cable and pagoda to frame and pole - plus sidewalls too! Customers will appreciate your staff’s ability to answer their questions and provide recommendations, and your business will benefit from better reviews, increased revenue, and more returning clients.
