Too-few Port-a-Potties = An Event Deficit
If you are planning an outdoor event – one that will host multitudes of people – the first objective would be to ensure all attendees will become happy attendees.
After all, their satisfaction with your event will, hugely, determine if they return for your next event, whether a few months down the road or during the same time, next year. Repeat customers and positive word-of-mouth advertising are what maximized revenue is all about!
If your event is being planned for a private affair which could include a gorgeous outdoor wedding, a once-in-a-decade family reunion, or a black-tie event, you want your VIPs to be enormously satisfied and impressed with all the details!
So, where is all this leading? It's leading up to the fact that you will want to make sure you have enough port-a-potties on hand to comfortably handle the number of anticipated guests – and the operative word, here, is 'comfortably'. Cutting corners on port-a-potty numbers is a sure-fire way to force family, friends, or paying customers to wait in long lines – and that can be the trump card that could kill the one chance to make a fabulous first impression!
Extra Considerations to Keep in Mind
*** Catering to Families: Even if all the other details of an important event move forward with precision, having too-few port-a-potties can put a damper on it all – or, not having the right type of port-a-potties! Families with young children at a public event would, immensely, appreciate having access to any larger bathrooms – such as wheel-chair accessible designs – that would accommodate an adult, a stroller, and more than one child. These are the kinds of details families remember – details that make their event visits easy and less stressful! And that is how repeat business gets started – through happy visitors!
*** Avoiding Overuse: When too-few port-a-potties are offered, those that are available become over-used and that, of course, leads to hand-sanitizer dispensers running dry, toilet paper running out, and the interiors showing signs that too many people have used the units in a short amount of time – in other words, things can get messy, and that is not good for business!
Having enough port-a-potties available means problems, such as these, are bypassed, and once again, happier guests = a more successful gathering!
How Many Units Will Your Event Require?
Our handy guide will help you calculate the number of port-a-potties your event would, mostly likely, need. If you like, just give us some details regarding your event and one of our team members will do the figuring for you. We can have the calculations figured in just a few minutes, right over the phone.
There are a few details that should be taken into account:
*** How many people will be in attendance?
*** How long will the event last?
*** Will the guest-list exceed 1,000? – Concerts, auto shows, carnivals, etc. draw in big crowds.
*** Will guests include more women than men? – Studies show that women can take up to twice as much time in a bathroom facility than men – surprise, surprise!
*** Will alcohol be served? – Medical Daily states that drinking alcohol, all on its own, can result in 40% more trips to the bathroom!
