Venue Frequently Asked Questions
eVenues is the web's first online marketplace to help consumers find and book short-term
meeting and event spaces. Our mission is to provide space seekers unparallel, up-to-date
venue information that converts shoppers into real-time bookings. Most importantly,
we make it easy for shoppers to search and book a space with no user registration
required.
Start by completing the venue registration wizard to create either a standard or
bookable listing. eVenues will approve and publish the new listing within 24 hours.
After that, eVenues will either send you a lead or direct booking which you can
either accept or reject. We then process the payment and send you the proceeds.
There is absolutely no risk.
It is FREE to list your venue and use our tools. When someone reserves your room,
eVenues withholds between 10-13% processing fee for the space rental (varies based
on venue size). That’s it.
No – we don’t limit the number or types of spaces we accept in the marketplace.
eVenues supports listing multiple rooms per venue; each space will have its own
profile page. For venues with multiple locations, you will need a separate account
for each.
You must have a valid, operating business license to receive payments from eVenues.
To prevent fraud or abuse, eVenues reviews every profile for validity and confirms
all contact information before making your profile live. Other than that, we only
ask that you complete the venue registration by including photos, pricing, and venue
amenities. The better your profile, the more likely it is to attract customers.
You should price your rooms or spaces to be attractive and competitive with other
venues. eVenues is positioned as a marketplace for affordable space and encourages
venues to discount when possible. For example, a typical hourly rate for a boardroom
space that holds 10 people might be $40/hr, where a typical full-day rate would
be $200. Our point being – in this economy – earning a little is certainly better
than earning nothing.
eVenues remits all booking proceeds to venues via check at the beginning of each
month. Under the Account/Payment menu, you need to complete the simple form with
information on who/where to send payment. In the situation where a lead transpires,
eVenues will invoice the venue for the commission.
There is no limit to how long you keep your venue active. Our venue availability
settings includes extensive options for creating timed campaigns, setup bumpers,
and free-sell periods.
Yes – one of the FREE tools to bookable venues is a space management application
that can be used to track both bookings and internal appointments. For example,
if you need to book an internal meeting, eVenues will automatically remove the time
from the marketplace schedule.
