Have had 4 people say they are definitely interested in booking over the last 6 weeks, all well and good until it comes to paying the deposit, which is quite low.
I then chase these people up after a week to remind them that deposit needs to be paid to be able to confirm the booking and in the worst cases do not tend to get a reply, or get 'oh, my partner has booked a Disco' or other variants of this. I think the problem is that people are finding a cheaper quote in the meantime and just covering their bases in case they don't find one.
I wonder if anyone else is encountering the same thing and if so what would be a good way to minimise these let-downs.
