In early 2024, Eva Harapesová had the brilliant idea to combine her interest in event decor with her wedding venue business to offer complimentary services to her clients. When she first started, she found it difficult to get online reservations and would spend too much time in Excel creating quotes. With Booqable, she created a dedicated rental website, organized her inventory, and automated quotes.
neVŠEdní PŮJČOVNA
Eva runs an old chateau in the Czech Republic, which is primarily used for weddings. She is also interested in renovating vintage and retro furniture and decor. Earlier this year, it clicked that she could combine her hobby with her work and set up a rental business to provide a complimentary service to clients. It made a lot of sense to provide the decor and furniture in addition to the venue itself.
She offers clients many stylish and unique items, from furniture to decorations, textiles, and gastro items. In addition, clients can choose to add on transportation, installation, and concept creation. Items can also be either rented individually or as one of many stylish sets that Eva has curated. For example, a photo corner or lounge zone, which provides preselected items and saves customers time curating their own.
Eva and her team work with wedding and event planners, coordinators, and agencies to help clients fulfill their desires and create their dream weddings. neVŠEdní PŮJČOVNA has only been running for a few months but is already proving to be a success as a complimentary business to the wedding venue. Furthermore, they can help clients who are not utilizing the venue, expanding their potential client base.
Online bookings and creating documents
When Eva started neVŠEdní PŮJČOVNA, she found it difficult to get online reservations. People were often confused about the pricing and understood the rental prices as purchase prices. This led to many incidents where she and her team would have to go back and forth with clients. She also had to spend a lot of time creating quotes manually in Excel, which was also not ideal.
She decided to find a solution to make this clearer to potential clients, help her organize her inventory, and automate the quoting process. While searching for options, she found that Booqable best met her needs while being affordable. She was able to add her inventory quickly and create a rental website using the website builder. She chose the Romance theme and customized it to meet her needs.
In addition, Eva and her team have saved a lot of time when quoting clients. Now, customers create their wishlist online, and the team quickly reviews it and generates a quote for them. They can also quickly generate packing lists with images and notes about the items to make preparing an order for clients very easy. Finally, they can easily invoice clients with an automatically generated document that can be emailed directly to them from within the interface.
Expanding their furniture and decor portfolio
Eva hopes to expand their furniture and decor portfolio in the coming months to meet the needs of their clients further and help create more memories. This will help her become a recognized rental company in the Czech Republic, where planners, coordinators, and agencies from all over the country will come to rent unusual wedding furniture and decor.
