Built for you

Built for every kind of costume hire business

Halloween and themed parties

The last week of October is fifty three day hires over the same weekend, and every one of them is a dated hold on a specific garment rather than a name on a list.

Book Week and school events

A parent booking a character costume for the Wednesday parade picks the dates off a page and knows immediately whether that costume is free, instead of ringing three shops.

Theatre and amateur productions

A production hiring twenty pieces across a three week season books one long span with the pieces itemised, and settles by payment request rather than a card at the counter.

Corporate and mascot hires

A mascot suit for a company family day goes out on a single date with a damage waiver and a clean booked on the far side of it.

Schedule

The two weeks that carry the year

Halloween and Book Week are dozens of three day holds on the same dozen garments, and each one is a dated commitment on a specific costume rather than a name on a list you cannot trust.

Measurements taken with the booking

Chest, waist, inside leg, height and shoe size on the form rather than a sticky note, so the garment off the rail is the one that will do up and a returning customer is not measured twice.

Get paid

Out three days, then a wash, then chased

The clean is booked against the garment so nothing is sold while it is at the dry cleaner, and every hire carries a return date that raises an email to the customer when it falls due.

Less admin, more bookings

Made for costume hire businesses

Book Week and the last Tuesday in October

Two weeks of the year carry the business, and in both of them the same garments are in demand for the same days. Each costume is its own bookable thing, so once it is held for the Wednesday it is genuinely gone, and the customer on the phone is told no while it is still true.

Measurements taken with the booking

Chest, waist, inside leg, height, shoe size. On the booking form rather than on a sticky note, so the garment pulled off the rail is the one that will do up. It also means a customer who hires from you again is not measured twice.

Three days out, then a wash

The hire is a period, out on the Friday and back on the Monday, priced as a block. The clean afterwards is booked against the garment, so the costume is committed while it is at the dry cleaner and nobody sells the Tuesday on something still in a bag.

The ones that have not come back

Every hire has a date it is due, so the pieces sitting past it are a list rather than a feeling. An email goes to the customer as the return date lands, which recovers a surprising number of costumes before you have to ring anyone.

Common questions.

Each garment is its own bookable unit and overlapping hires on it are refused by the database. Once it is held for a set of dates, no second hire can be created over those dates.

Yes. Sizing questions sit on the booking form and the answers stay on the booking and the customer record, so a returning customer does not get measured again.

Every hire has a return date, so an overdue costume is visible rather than forgotten, and an email goes to the customer when the return falls due.

Book the clean against the garment as its own block. While it is on, no hire can be made on that costume.
