According to the Maroo.us website they provide, “Payments for the wedding world It’s as easy to use as a payment app – yet tailored to the wedding industry. Requesting payments is simple, fast, and streamlined.” When I came across this website I was thrilled! There are so many payment processing options out there but to find one that specializes in and understands the unique needs of wedding venues and vendors – I was eager to learn more about this company. I reached out to Maroo and Anja Winikka responded to my request for more information almost immediately. Anja agreed to a WeddingVenueOwners.com interview and here we are. Wedding Industry Payment Processing – view interview video below (scroll down).
So, first off, Maroo.us helps wedding businesses process payments securely online. One common challenge wedding venue owners bring up in the Wedding Venue Owners & Managers Community Group on Facebook is their issues with their current payment processing and the fact that their current payment processing methods are a hassle, stressful, added steps to an unnecessarily complicated process and the big one TOO EXPENSIVE!. During Covid many of the payment processing options our wedding businesses use actually educated wedding couples via blogs and social posts on how easy it is to get a full refund for any wedding payments you made, by simply disputing the payments via your credit card company. Wedding industry businesses are looking for new options and I am so glad to have found one that specializes in the unique needs of wedding businesses!
What does Maroo.us offer: *No fee on bank transfers, checks, and debit card transfers *Credit card processing fees are 2.9% on all cards *All payments processed to your business bank account within 1 business day *Sync, set and track upcoming payments THERE IS SOMETHING SO UNIQUE THAT MAROO.US DOES THAT IS SUPER UNIQUE AND WILL HELP OUR WEDDING VENUE OWNERS BOOK MORE WEDDINGS!! Watch the video to find out about the other services Maroo.us offers that could help you convert more wedding leads to bookings and help alleviate some of the financial stresses your couples face during wedding planning. In my opinion, the other service (being secretive on purpose, watch the video) could help reduce bad reviews that come from stressed out, financially strapped couples and add a layer of financial protection to help wedding venue owners avoid losing money when couples change their mind on getting married or need to cancel for some reason, then dispute the fees and win, leaving our venue owners in a big bind with real financial loss! BUT YOU HAVE TO WATCH THE VIDEO TO LEARN ABOUT THE OTHER AMAZING service Maroo.us offers. I will have a part two with Maroo.us to fully discuss this second financial service that, in my opinion could have an incredibly positive impact for venue owners and couples! #weddingnerd #weddingpaymentprocessing #weddingfinancialsupport #weddingbusiness #weddingvenueowners #weddingcost #weddingbudgettips #engaged #howtopayforawedding #weddingvenueconsulting #weddingbusinesscoach
