3 months work - building hottub for rent in 60sec

[@nepremagljiv]

Hey, how is the bussines going? Got a lot of customers? What kind of advertising are you using, if any?

Hi. Average business just going on. No extra ads lately. Old customers or their friends are reaching back, so bookings are on expected levels. Just keeping it going and next year plan is to replace worn out setup with new on.

@garageproductions359 great to hear its going well. I made a similiar hot tub on a trailer, but it seems people in slovenia are just not that into such stuff. Its been 5 months now and very little customers... So when you started with this, did you advertise it at all? Probably just facebook, instagram?

​@@nepremagljivHi again. Maybe you need to adjust the pricing to win more customers at beginning. Also lot of pictures while barrel in use. For ads use FB Marketplace local ads groups. For example garden, healt and beauty, outdoor etc.

Hey man great stuff, very well made. Been thinking about this myself too. If you dont mind sharing, can i ask you how booked are you during the year? Id say theres a lot more bookings during the winter months, compared to the summer ones. So my question would be the number of reservations in a month? And for how many days do people usually make a reservation? Thanks a lot for the answear. Have a good one.

Hello. Usually every weekend is booked. Maybe 3 times a year during working days. Bookings in month maybe between 3 to 6. It's all about marketing and ads. Currently using just Facebook Marketplace. It was so booked, that I decided to make second set. Top periods are mid summer longest days, christmas and new years eve. Also pricing will be adjusted for those top periods. Low seaosn maybe January after new year celebrations. It is also important how to manage time between two bookings. Sometimes, it is easier not to rent it out at the same day when it comes back - but sometime it even works out like this.

Hey thanks again for taking time to reply. 3-6 bookings a month its not bad at all. When it comes to marketing id say the best place to go is instagram, at least here where i am from. Well yeah when you pick it up from somewhere you have to clean it and everything, which i guess takes you some time to do. And how big is the trailer youre using, is it 2,5mX1,3-1,4m? And also, do you charge the transport to and from the location seperately or is it included in a price? May I also ask you how populated is the area you live in? Sorry for so many questions but youre the only one with this buissnes i could find and im just trying to gather some useful information to see if this could work here where I live. Appriciate the help.

Hi. Trailer base is about 3,5mx1,9m or close to that. Wheelbase is 2,3m. Barrel is 2,4x1,8m = fits 8 persons easily. With better party, there has been even 10 persons inside at same time. Empty setup weights around 500kg. Inside goes 1800 l of water. Yes I charge one time charge 1,5 euros per km according to google maps distance. If customer is inside 10km radius I will deliver free. Also available option for customer to pick up by self. I prefer delivering, to be sure of right way of levelling and supporting at users place, but this is not a rule. Also convenient, when customers pick it up and delivers back.
