📊 Party Business Insights: Part 2
Key Insights from Party Industry Survey and 70,000+ Events🚀🎉
========================================
Let's Talk Annual Revenues 💰💵
========================================

Our latest survey, with responses from 18 countries and 21 different types of party entertainers, sheds light on the pressing issue of inconsistent revenue and reveals the average earnings in our industry.
So, let's talk money 💲..
📊 Inconsistent Revenue: A Universal Challenge
A staggering 49.7% of you have voiced that ‘fluctuating income streams’ are your top financial concern, way ahead of ‘high costs’ and even ‘low profits’. This inconsistency reflects in our overall satisfaction with annual revenue, scoring an average of just 5.02/10. Clearly, there's room for growth and improvement!
💰 Annual Revenue Insights
Across the board, the average revenue hits $70,605*
Yet, it's the Foam Party Businesses leading the pack among entertainment types boasting average earnings of $90,889* (based on entertainment types where we had data from at least 50 companies in that category).
The Party Business Growth Solutions team are also really proud of our Party Pro Manager (PPM) family 🤗
PPM users are sporting an impressive average of $92,264 / year
– that's 31% above the industry average!
(though this doesn’t come as a huge surprise to us, as we consistently hear from users about the healthy revenue boost they're enjoying - One that easily surpasses the monthly cost for the system itself) 🚀
📈 The Earnings Spectrum
The earnings landscape reveals a stark contrast: 73.7% of companies earn $75k or less annually, with more than half of these earning $25k or less.
Yet, crossing the $76k threshold seems to be a pivotal moment, as companies that hit this level are more likely to soar past $100k than not.
🔍 Satisfaction Correlates with Revenue... duh!
Satisfaction levels tell a tale of aspiration and achievement.
Those earning $75k or less report a satisfaction score of 4.5 / 10 when asked how satisfied they are with how their business helps them meet their lifestyle aspirations.
While crossing over to $76k boosts this to 6.3 / 10.
And for the high-flyers earning $301k or more, satisfaction peaks at 7.2 / 10.
🚀 Spotting Opportunities Pays Off
Party Business Entrepreneurs who launched their business because they "identified a gap in the market" are averaging $96,591* in annual revenues, validating their sharp market insights!
🌈 Looking Ahead
Stay tuned, as soon we'll explore trends and strategies linked to higher earnings, so that we can all learn from the highest earning companies in our industry 💪🥳

📊 Party Business Insights: Part 1
Key Insights from Over 70,000 Events in 2023! 🚀🎉
================================
🎉Most Popular Day To Party!🎈
================================

Hey Party Animals! We've delved into data from more than 70,000 events in the past year, from party entertainers of all kinds, from all over the world. And, the findings are eye-opening 👀..
📆 Most Popular Days to Party
Our data reveals a clear winner:
🎉 Saturday takes the lead with a whopping 49.8% of events
🎉 Sunday is the runner-up at 29.1%
🎉 Fridays are also in the mix, with 7.7% of bookings
🎉 As for Monday through Thursday, they combine for a total of 13.4%.
However, if we look at Private Birthday Parties alone, no surprise that it skews even more toward weekends, with 90.7% of birthday parties on the weekend.
🤔 Pricing Paradox: Supply vs. Demand
Interestingly, despite the high demand for weekend events, we're noticing a counterintuitive trend:
🎉 Pricing for weekend events is approximately 19% lower than that of weekdays.
🎉 Although weekends are the go-to choice, this defies the classic laws of supply and demand, suggesting we need to think about ways to optimize weekend pricing to match the demand!
Some Clues to Explain the Pricing Trends
🕒 Shorter Duration: Weekend events are generally about 10% shorter than those held on weekdays.
🎈 Party dominated: Private birthday parties tend to dominate people's schedules on the weekends, and these tend to be lower value gigs 📉 (Birthday parties are, on average, 39% lower value than non-birthday party gigs)
🚀 Forward-Thinking Questions
Is there untapped potential in adjusting our weekend pricing to better reflect the high demand?

How can we optimize our offerings to make the most of shorter event durations?

Are there opportunities to create more value in weekend events?
🤝 Let's Work Together
Please share your thoughts on these findings. Join us in the Party Business Think Tank 🎉 group where we're discussing this and a lot more!..
🎁p.s. We have a lot more stats/info to share. If you don't want to miss any of it, read on...
We'll release more stats/info as we work our way through the mountain of data we have.
We'll be sending out a monthly email with 'Party Business Insights' for the next few months while we work our way through the data.

But, even if you don't set it... The Final Balance Due Date will be automatically set accordingly once the client Finalizes/Confirms their event. (which is especially helpful if you are taking advantage of the new 'Balance Due Date Autopilot trigger' as mentioned above..

Wow! We had such a great week with so many people grabbing the amazing deal for YAY-List last week! 🙌

We did also hear from some people that really wanted to jump in too, but ended up letting the deal pass by.

The main reasons they didn’t take the leap was…

------ Reason #1 ------
They just couldn’t afford to do the single payment of $120-240 for a full year at this time.

------ Reason #2 ------
Several people even asked if we could offer a special month-to-month plan instead.
--

Since we’re still in such a great mood from our birthday week, we’ve decided to make it happen!

So, we have two new great options for you available until Monday only, starting from just $12 / month…
👉 https://partybusinessgrowth.com/yaylist-special2

If you want a software system that will help you unleash the power of proactive word-of-mouth marketing…

“It’s like flipping a switch and getting more client referrals on autopilot…”

…then go ahead and check out all the details of these two new options right here

⚠ Urgent - Closing tonight

Today is the FINAL day to get YAY-List at a discounted price, before the deal expires!

Here's the good news:

There's still a little time left to join the party. You can get in before the buzzer and make this the year you turbo-charge your word-of-mouth marketing - on auto-pilot!

That’s what Michaela did. Michaela was looking for a way to get her clients to spread her name all over town without having to constantly ask for referrals. And then…

🎉 Michaela got over 1000 branded views and collected 39 new leads for her Character Entertainment business within the first month of using YAY-List!.

Or Mark. If I’m being honest, Mark wasn’t sure if he should take the leap of faith for his magic business and give YAY-List a try. Well, he did, and then told us this…

🎉 After only 33 events, Mark collected 217 perfect leads for his Magic business, with YAY-List lead collection tools..

We’re hearing stories like these 👆 from our users, all the time.

You can get these kinds of results too.

Join YAY-List and:
- Get amazing brand awareness
- Collect tons of PERFECT leads
- Stand out from the competition

But there’s only a little time left to get these benefits AND save $120!

And once the doors close, they’re going to stay locked (no exceptions).

👉 So go here to grab the deal now!
https://partybusinessgrowth.com/yaylist-special

We’ll be watching our inbox for any last-minute questions, so be sure to reach out if there’s anything holding you back.

But hurry!

First I told myself...“If I post more to social media that’ll help spread the word about my parties and I’ll get more gigs.” So I posted regularly. But it just felt like I was posting to the void.

03/05/2023

🚨 The $120 discount offer for YAY-List expires this FRIDAY at 11:59PM Eastern.

After that, you won’t be able to get this deal.

(It’s still worth every penny at full price, but, hey, who doesn’t like saving, right?!)

So now’s the time to get answers to ANY of the questions you might have about it, like…

- How long does it take to get set up?
- What if it doesn’t work for me?
- I do more than just “parties”, is this still for me?
- Am I tied to a long term contract?
- What if I have questions or need help?

These are great questions, which is exactly why we’re answering them in two different ways…

Option 1: Live Demo

We’ll be going LIVE tomorrow to share a demo of how the system works and to answer some of these great questions. Join us live tomorrow, Thursday, at 1pm Eastern Time (10am Pacific, 6pm UK), in the Party Business Think Tank Facebook Group.

Join here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/partybizthinktank

But hurry—there’s two days left before the special offer comes down. ⏳
