My store is River Northeast Adventures, I'm on the Ascutney MT Resort. I would just pick a night but, with my luck it would be the night that no one has the time. I have Pictures of the build of the cave on facebook as well. to day its geting a new paint job!

Dude...Your store, your night.  "If you build it, they will come."  A giveaway always gets a turnout.   


I know, I know... it's not business.

That was a joke, right? I just wrote a post about how that was a wee bit much considering, but then I realised, "ah, it was zay leetle joke"

[RNA]

Well ? what would you call a fair price ?? i was planning to give neclimbs members a great deal of 3 buck for an hour and if u play longer it would be 3 bucks for the rest of the day. So 6 buck to climb all day ?

          I know 25 sounds high for a full day but im a business. that and i have alot families that drop there kids off like its a day care. thats why it is what it is.

   
 M_sprague What would you charge ? keep in mind i have 2,500 invested in the cave its self and then 1,500 a year in insurance.

[Lanky]

I'm not Mark, buy my local gym charges $15 for a day pass. Anything more than that for access to a small bouldering cave is too much. In fact, $15 might feel like too much to me personally, but if it was the only option I might go for it. If you price it at $10, you only need 150 customers a year to cover insurance costs. 260 customers (5 per week) is $1,100 over costs (ignoring heat/electricity/etc). I don't know if that's at all reasonable for your shop, but $10 is a nice round number that feels OK to me.

YMMV

Do you have any pictures that show the full cave? That might help us get a sense of what it is worth. I didn't mean to be harsh on you, but it seemed to me you were completely pricing out potential customers.  If the "cave" is a simple box like structure with vertical walls and a horizontal roof, like what is pictured on your site, you won't get many repeat visitors except maybe by little kids who need baby-sitting. If there is more to it, that we don't see, it might keep people's interest and they would be willing to pay.

I presume you have visited other, quality gyms in New England before you made your business plan and built it. In your first post, I got the impression that you built a little cave in your store to use your self and encourage interaction with the community, thereby getting more customers and building loyalty. If it is meant as a profit maker in itself, I think you have to be thinking of a more advanced structure.

Mark, you are being too harsh!
I have hopes it looks somewhat like this -
