How to grow your payments app with henna artists
By SendPay Business · · 2 min read
Henna artists apply bridal henna, party designs and quick designs at markets and festivals. Bridal bookings are made months ahead with a deposit, busy seasons like Eid, Diwali and wedding season fill up fast, and group bookings for a bride's family are often paid by several people. A payments app that sends a deposit link, lets guests pay their share and takes tap payments at a stall can win these artists, and every client who pays sees your app.
Talk to henna artists
Ask local henna artists:
- How do clients book and pay today?
- Do you take a deposit for bridal bookings?
- How do you split payment for group bookings?
- Do you work at markets or festivals?
Hold busy dates with a deposit
A deposit paid by link secures a bridal date in wedding season, so the artist isn't left with an empty day when plans change.
Let groups pay their share
When a bride's family and friends all have henna, each guest can pay for their own design by link instead of one person collecting cash.
Grow through weddings and celebrations
Henna artists work alongside makeup artists, wedding planners and caterers. One artist on your app can introduce the others.
