Q: Why should I customize my pricing for different Activity Types? A: Customizing your pricing helps to ensure that your rates are appropriate for the type of activity and crew size.

Reflecting this in your hourly rates provides clarity for future renters, helping them choose the correct type of activity and understand the pricing differences.

Q: Can you provide examples of how to adjust prices for different Activity Types? A: Absolutely! Here are some guidelines:

  • Production (e.g., Film, Photography, Sound Recording): These often require more equipment and resources, so you might set a higher hourly rate.

  • Celebrate (e.g., Birthday Party, Wedding): Events usually involve larger groups and more extensive use of the space, which can justify higher rates.

  • Meet (e.g., Corporate Event, Workshop): Meetings typically have fewer requirements and can be priced lower.

  • Recreation (e.g., Sports, Recreational): Depending on the facilities available, these can be priced variably.

Q: How does customizing pricing benefit me as a host? A: By customizing your pricing, you can:

  • Maximize your earnings by charging appropriately for more resource-intensive activities.

  • Provide transparency to renters, helping them make informed decisions.
