Although I state it on the booking notes that the rental period includes your load in, setup , tera down and load out, clients still seem to get to the studio early. I had one guy arrive over an hour early and just yesterday 1/2 early. I also have a regulars that rent the studio for 3 hours every Wednesday and are usually going over about 45 minutes on their time.
Up to this point I haven’t really enforced anything because it’s not like the studio is booking back to back on the same day, if it was I’d have a big problem.
There is no one present from the studio so a client simply shows up with the key lock code that I give them on the day of the rental.
I guess I could give them the code 15 minutes prior to the rental start time but what if I’m pre-occupied and miss the window. Don’t want to deal with that.
Is this common with others? How do you enforce the in and out rules?
Thanks!
