How to grow your payments app with makeup artists
By SendPay Business · · 2 min read
Makeup artists work at weddings, proms, photo shoots and events, often travelling to their clients. Most take a deposit to hold the date, then the balance on the day, and bridal parties often want to split the cost. A payments app that takes deposits by link and lets each person pay their share can win these artists, and every client who pays sees your app.
Talk to makeup artists
Ask local makeup artists:
- How do clients pay you today?
- How do you take deposits to hold a date?
- Do bridal parties ask to split the cost?
- What would make taking payment easier?
Take deposits by link
A payment link sent when a date is booked secures it and cuts last-minute cancellations.
Let groups split the cost
Sending each person in a bridal party a link for their share saves the bride collecting money from everyone.
Grow through weddings
Makeup artists work alongside photographers, florists and hairdressers. One artist on your app can bring many wedding suppliers to it.
