How to grow your payments app with DJs
By SendPay Business · · 2 min read
Mobile and club DJs play weddings, birthdays, school proms, bars and company events. Most take a deposit to hold the date and ask for the balance before or on the night. A payments app that takes deposits by link and reminds clients about the balance can win these DJs, and every client who pays sees your app.
Talk to DJs
Ask local DJs:
- How do clients pay you today?
- How do you take deposits to hold a date?
- Do clients ever pay the balance late?
- What would make getting paid easier?
Take deposits by link
A payment link sent when a date is agreed secures the booking straight away.
Collect the balance before the night
A second link sent a week before the event means the DJ turns up already paid.
Grow through events
DJs work with venues, photographers and party entertainers. One DJ on your app puts it in front of all of them.
