The short answer

How do you market a function venue?

Show up when people search for a venue, then make it easy to pick you: one page with your spaces, numbers, packages and prices, and a fast reply to every enquiry. HospoPro builds that page, runs Google and Meta ads to it and follows up by email. Plans start at $399 a month ex-GST.

How a function gets booked

One person books it.
A whole group judges it.

The person planning the party compares a few venues, takes a shortlist to the group or the boss, and books whoever made it easy. Here is what wins each step.

01

Get on the shortlist

They search function venue and a suburb, or ask around. Your Google profile, reviews and photos of the room decide if you make the first three.

02

Answer before they ask

How many fit, seated and standing. What is the food. What does it cost. Can we have the room to ourselves. Your page says it all, with real photos.

03

Make the price easy to share

They have to take a number back to someone. A starting price or minimum spend per room, on a page they can send, beats call us for a quote.

04

Reply first

Most people enquire at a few venues at once. The first clear answer, with a package and a date to hold, is usually the one they go with.

05

Sell the dates that sit empty

Saturdays in December go on their own. Sunday lunches, weeknights and the quieter months need their own ads and their own reason to book.

06

Know which enquiry paid

Which ad, which page, which package turned into a deposit? Enquiries, bookings and spend on one page every Monday.

How we sell a function venue

Sell the night. Not the square metres.

Nobody books a room. They book their mum’s 60th, the engagement party, the team’s end of year. They want to see that night happening in your space: the long table, the speeches, the dance floor full.

So that is what we show. Every post, ad and page puts the planner in the room on the night, then gives them the facts they need to say yes.

01 · Landing pages

A functions page that answers everything.

Spaces, numbers, packages, menus and starting prices, with real photos and an enquiry form that asks the date, the head count and the occasion. Built for phones and easy to send to the group. Every enquiry lands with you, and the email goes on your list.

02 · Google ads

Be there when they search for a venue.

Function venue in your suburb, private room for 40, Christmas party venue. People planning a function type it into Google. Search and Maps ads put your venue in front of them, with your reviews to back it up and a click straight to the functions page.

03 · Meta ads

Ads that plant the idea early.

Most functions are planned weeks or months ahead. Ads show your room on the night to locals and to people who looked at your page and left, so you are the venue they think of first. Ad spend sits on your own card, at cost. We never mark up media.

06 · Email marketing

Turn one function into the next.

Every guest at a function is someone who might book their own. We design, write and send the email that brings past planners and enquiries back: the Christmas dates left, the new packages, the quiet-month offer. One a month on Grow, two on Pro.

Your side of it

About ten minutes a week. Then back to the event.

You run the venue and the functions. We run the marketing. Here is all we need from you.

Every day

Approve if you want

A real person signs off every post before it goes live. Check each one yourself, or let it run.

During the week

Tell us what is open

The dates still free, a new package, the room set up for Saturday. Send it over with a few phone photos. We turn it into posts and ads.

Every Monday

Read the report

Enquiries, bookings, spend and return on one page, plus a note on what is changing. It takes one coffee to read.

Questions

Asked by planners, answered straight.

Anything else, email hello@hospopro.com.au. We reply within one business day.

Be easy to find and easy to say yes to. Show up when someone searches function venue and your suburb, and land them on one page with your spaces, numbers, packages and prices. Most people won’t ring to ask. Here is how to fill a function space all year.

Yes, at least a starting price or a minimum spend per room. The person booking has to take a number back to the group or the boss. If your page has none, the venue that does gets the shortlist.

Within the hour if you can, and on the same day at worst. Most people enquire at a few venues at once. The first clear reply, with a package and a date hold, often wins. Here is how to turn enquiries into paid deposits.

Months before December. Work parties pick a venue early, and the best Fridays go first. Get the page, the packages and the ads live by spring, not the week before. Here is how to fill your Christmas function calendar.

First pick a plan: $399, $999 or $2,999 a month ex-GST. Then you set the ad budget. It runs on your own card, at cost, with no markup from us. Pro puts $1,000 of it in each month. For a starting number, see how much to spend on Google ads.

No. Plans run month to month, with no lock-in. If you are not happy by day 28, you get your money back. The photos, posts, pages and email list stay yours either way.
