Embrace the Power of Dynamic Minimums for Events

In the ever-changing event management industry, dynamic minimums have emerged as a revolutionary pricing strategy to ensure the success of events, ranging from small, intimate groups to large-scale events. Tripleseat, standing at the forefront of event management innovation, has further evolved our intelligent software to allow you to easily leverage dynamic pricing within the platform. The Dynamic Minimum feature not only simplifies your workflow but also allows you to customize pricing to fit various event specifics, including location, style, room, and timing. This new feature will take your efficiency, flexibility, consistency, and the overall impact of your events to a new level.

Let’s review how to leverage Dynamic Minimums to enhance your event planning within the powerful Tripleseat and TripleseatDirect experience.

What Are Dynamic Minimums for Events?

The standard across the industry for event pricing for so long has been Food and Beverage Minimums. Commonly known as F&B Minimums, these are a fixed and specific dollar amount of food and beverage that must be met to use the event space. Regardless of venue, event clients and planners are aware that F&B minimums are the norm based on some pre-determined specifics. For wedding venues, pricing is optimal if it varies depending on the day of the week, time of day, or the season. For some venues, pricing is paramount to sell their space on an off day by lowering the minimums for a specific private dining room. 

This is where Dynamic Minimum pricing comes in with a smart pricing method for events. Dynamic Minimums are prices that change and are contingent on things like venue location, event style, room, and timing to attract more business and bring in more revenue.

Copy and Repeat for Event Efficiency

For specific event attributes that you set within Tripleseat can be easily repeated for efficiency. For example, perhaps your venue has days of the week with similar requirements. You’ll be able to duplicate minimum spends from one day to another. This feature is particularly useful for weekend events, where the minimums might be consistent across both days. Once the minimum specifics are set up within Tripleseat, they are automatically applied to your new events, streamlining the planning process significantly.

Visibility of Dynamic Minimums in Event Details

You also have the flexibility to edit and override the default minimum spend as needed, ensuring that each event can be tailored to specific needs.
