Advertising for DJ gear rental on Face Book. Earlier this year I had some interest, and people messaging me from Market Place asking for availability and cost. Well then it was crickets pretty much all summer on the rentals ad. Maybe 1 or 2 all summer. Now in the last 3 days I have had like 13 different people message me. Some were for dates my gear is not available, but a few for dates in November and December that I can rent them gear. Of those dates, after I give them the info and pricing, they go queit.
So all year long, I have yet to have a paying rental customer, But the ad does get interest. My quotes have been any where from $90 to $180 depending on the exact gear they need for the most part on the rental side, and I always offer a concierge service for an additional $95 I will come to them, set it all up, then come back at the end of the vent to tear down. On top of the $95 is a mileage fee IF their venue is over a 25 mile drive each way.
So far zero paying customers though. I am going to give it another month or two, but might take the ad down if I don't get anything from it. I am probably spending 5 to 8 minutes of time with each person who messages me inquiring about it. Also, I have had a few shady people message me too. You can tell they are shady, OR perhaps a fake account when you look at their profile. Those are the ones waiting my time so I try to figure it out before I even send them a quote. Just thought I would let you all know about my experience with trying to rent gear out for additional income so far.
