I polled my facebook audience recently and asked the if they would prefer a weekend discount or additional hours. There wasn’t a huge response but all responses were for extra hours.
This has me thinking about possibly changing our weekend use policy. Currently we charge for a 1 day rental with the standard 8 hrs run time. Additional hours are pro-rated using the daily rate. I’m considering the idea of upping the weekend usage to 12 hours and upping the rate to equal 125% of daily. Essentially giving 2 hours for free or 4 hrs 50% off (which is how I would market it most likely.)
How do you guys currently handle weekend rates and usage? Have you ever done something similar?
