Marquee bookings, for a business with about twenty weekends.
A marquee hire company earns most of its year in roughly twenty weekends, and the weather can take several of them. That concentration means every booked date matters far more than a lead count suggests.
It also means the enquiries that arrive in February decide the year, and the ones that arrive in July are mostly people whose original plan fell through.
Everything, from the ad to the booked call.
Early-season campaigns
Concentrated into the winter and spring months when dates are actually being reserved.
Wedding and event marquee campaigns
The core of most operators' revenue, aimed at couples with a venue or a family home in mind.
Corporate and public event hire
Midweek and shoulder-season work that fills the gaps weddings leave.
Package clarity
Flooring, lining, heating, lighting and furniture stated up front, because unclear inclusions are the main cause of lost quotes.
Social media, fully run
Posted and monitored, because a marquee is bought from photographs of other people's events.
The form asks first, so your phone rings second.
Every campaign sends the click to a lead form that asks the qualifying questions before the enquiry reaches you. For marquee & event hire, that means:
- 01What date, and is it flexible?
- 02How many guests?
- 03Where is the site, and what surface is it?
- 04Do you need flooring, heating or lighting?
- 05County and Eircode
Then one number every Friday: spend, leads, cost per lead and what we are changing next week.
leads at €2.75 each on €57.78 of spend for a home-improvement client
cost per lead on a live trades campaign
Every figure comes from a client we can put you in touch with. We do not name clients in ads or on this page. See more on the results page.
Price the whole thing or lose the quote
The most common reason a marquee quote is rejected is that it looked cheaper in the advert than it turned out to be once flooring, lining, heating and furniture were added.
Stating what is included and what is extra, plainly and early, loses you a few enquiries and wins you considerably more bookings. Customers comparing three quotes reward whoever made the comparison possible.
Site questions belong on the form
Ground conditions, access, slope and surface decide whether a job is straightforward or impossible, and finding out on the day is expensive for everyone.
Asking on the enquiry form filters out the sites you cannot serve before anybody has driven anywhere.
€1,500 a month. Everything included.
Meta advertising fully managed, lead forms that qualify, social media fully run, all creative every month and the Friday report. Google Ads managed on top: €2,000 a month. No setup fee, no contract, month to month. Advertising spend is paid directly to the platforms and stays in your control.
Every county in Ireland.
Campaigns are built around the towns you actually cover, not a county name. Counties where we see the most demand for marquee & event hire:
Straight answers.
When should we advertise?
Winter and early spring. Dates are reserved months ahead, and by June the good weekends are gone.
Should we publish prices?
At least what is included and what is extra. Hidden extras are the main reason quotes get rejected in this category.
Is corporate work worth chasing?
It fills midweek and shoulder season, which weddings never will. Worth its own campaign.
What should the form ask?
Site conditions above all — surface, access and slope. It saves wasted site visits.
How much does weather affect the business?
Enough that a booked date is worth protecting. It is an argument for booking early rather than for discounting late.
What does it cost?
€1,500 a month with everything included, month to month.
