I owned and operated an event venue for three years.
Like most venue owners, I spent money on ads, I even hired agencies at one point, trying to get more inquiries, and leads did come in. But I wasn't seeing the results I was paying for, and it took me a while to figure out why.
I'd get an inquiry and not respond until the next day.
I'd miss tours because I had no reminder system in place.
Even though reviews were sitting right there as free marketing, I had no way to actually request them.
I was managing Google reviews manually, if at all.
So I started building systems, one at a time.
The first was inquiry-to-tour automation; someone would find my ad, submit an inquiry, and immediately get routed to book a tour, while my system confirms their requested date in real time and responded by email or text, either confirming it or offering alternative dates.
I'd be sitting at dinner and watch tours book themselves on my phone.
The next morning, all I had to do was tell my event coordinator to get the space ready.
Then I built the reviews system. After every event, we'd text the client asking how it went. If it was positive, we'd ask them to leave a Google review for our venue.
The difference, this was all automated, i set it once and would happen automatically while my business was running.
Those two systems changed how I ran my venue. Now I build them for other event venue owners.
Knowing what i know today,
I recommend every venue owner i speak to, first before you even thing about turning on ads, which is what most venue owners think is the solution, ask yourself;
if you do have the right system in place to handle the traffic you will bring in..
