How to grow your payments app with home cinema installers
By SendPay Business · · 2 min read
Home cinema installers turn living rooms, basements and garden rooms into places to watch films and sport. They plan the room, run cables, fit projectors, screens and speakers, and set everything up so it works from one remote. Equipment can be expensive, so most installers take a deposit before ordering it, with the rest paid when the room is finished. A payments app that handles deposits and final payments can win home cinema installers, and every customer that pays them sees your app.
Talk to home cinema installers
Ask local home cinema installers:
- Do you take a deposit before ordering equipment?
- How do customers pay the rest when the room is done?
- Do you charge for a design visit?
- Do you offer support or servicing afterwards?
Take a deposit before ordering equipment
A link sent with the quote lets the customer pay a deposit straight away, so the installer can order projectors, screens and speakers.
Get paid when the room is finished
The customer can pay the rest by card or link once everything is set up, so the installer isn't chasing the final payment.
Grow through home technology trades
Home cinema installers work alongside smart home installers, aerial installers and electricians. When those businesses take payments through your app, each installer can bring more of them onto it.
