Incoming Call...

Customer

"Hi, I need a 20x30 tent for a wedding. Do you have one available June 15th?"

AI Receptionist

"Yes! We have a 20x30 pole tent available—seats 60 guests, $850 for the weekend. Would you like to reserve it?"

✓ Booking Confirmed • 20x30 Tent

The Problem

TENT & CANOPY RENTALS
MISS TOO MANY BOOKINGS

You're losing bookings every day while tents sit in inventory. Event planners call at 9 PM about weekend weddings, no-shows waste your time, and your team can't keep up with peak season demand.

You Miss Calls When Event Planners Need You

A bride finds you at 10 PM searching for her June wedding tent, calls, and gets voicemail. By the time you check messages in the morning, she's already booked with a competitor who answered.

The Cost
$3,500/event
Average lost booking value

Your Team Is Drowning in Quote Requests

While you're setting up a tent at a venue, five more calls come in. Size questions, delivery inquiries, availability checks, pricing—you can't be everywhere at once. Customers get frustrated waiting, and you lose events.

The Cost
60+ calls/day
During peak wedding season

Site Visits No-Show and You Lose Them Forever

You drive to the venue, bring samples, and prepare your pitch. They don't show. You send one follow-up text that gets ignored. That's it—they're gone. No second chance, no recovery, just wasted time and another event you didn't book.
