6 Things You Can Do to Charge PREMIUM Prices

September 14th, 2009 admin Leave a comment Go to comments

The ONLY problem with Mobile Bartending is that you can only be in one place at a time. That means you must trade time for dollars. Since this is the case, you want to be able to charge as much as you can to be there, right?!

The GOOD thing is this: it is actually easier to get more money from one client, than getting little money from lots of new clients. In this article, I am going to share some great time for making MORE money from one client. But the real secret to getting paid premium prices is to charge premium rates. Here’s how:

1. Have the Right Mindset: You are giving up your valuable time to bartend for someone else! I have been paid $400 to pour 8 glasses of wine, was it worth it to the client? YES, because they got ME! You need to FIRST realize that no matter how big or small the job, the client is still asking YOU to give up your Saturday night. How valuable is your time?! Answer: VERY VALUABLE!

2. Be in High-Demand! The more people begging on your door to use your services, the more you options (and confidence) you have. Let customers know that. Don’t be discouraged if one client turns you down. It does NOT mean you should lower your price when the next client calls.

3. Your Website: You MUST have a professional, good looking website! People will be searching for YOU-they will call YOU! The website creates a sense of professionalism and success, but most importantly increaes the perceived value that others have of you!

4. Don’t List Prices on Your Website: If you have ever been to another website and the prices were not listed, you probably got frustrated and left! That’s ok, what this does is QUALIFIES your customers! If they are “freebie hunters” looking for a good deal, we don’t want them, right?! Wait until your prospective clients call you, THEN you can “sell” them on your premium rates

5. Create Packages: You are not selling a bartender service, you are selling a SOLUTION. Create bartender packages that include: tools, extra hours, free ice, etc, etc, so the perceived value is HIGHER.

6. UPSELLS: The client said “yes” to your services, GREAT! What else can we get them to say “yes” to? Glassware rentals, bar rentals, extra bartenders, servers, etc are perfect examples of upsells. Your bill of $150 just turned to $275 at the blink of an eye…not bad, eh?

Those are SIX valuable strategies you must implement into your business, if you want to start making SERIOUS cash on a CONSISTENT basis! Are you doing these things?!
