How to grow your payments app with firework display companies
By SendPay Business · · 2 min read
Firework display companies design and fire professional displays for weddings, birthdays, festivals, sports clubs and council events. Most bookings start with a deposit to hold the date and cover fireworks ordered for the show, with the balance due before the night, and busy dates such as Bonfire Night and New Year's Eve book up months ahead. A payments app that sends deposit and balance links, shows who has paid for each date and keeps a clear record can win display companies, and every client who pays them sees your app.
Talk to firework display companies
Ask local display companies:
- How do clients pay the deposit to book a date?
- When is the balance due, and how often do you chase it?
- How do you handle payments from councils, clubs and festival organisers?
- What happens to payments if a display is called off because of weather?
Send deposit and balance links
A payment link sent when a date is booked and another before the night means clients pay from their phone, and the company knows which shows are fully paid.
Make busy season payments easy to track
Around Bonfire Night and New Year's Eve a company may run many displays in a few days. A clear list of paid and unpaid bookings saves time when it matters most.
Grow through event businesses
Display companies work with wedding planners, event hire firms, venues and MCs. When those businesses take payments through your app, each display company can bring more of them onto it.
