Aisha, the founder of Taziri Events in Halifax, Nova Scotia, spent over a decade managing events for charities before branching out on her own in 2023. What started as balloon displays and decorated setups has grown into a full-service business covering weddings, fundraisers, and custom events.
As her client base expanded, so did her inventory, leading her to introduce rentals for decor and event supplies. Today, her main customers are community events and fundraisers, with plans to expand into corporate clients.
Running a one-woman business meant Aisha handled everything herself, from client communication to marketing and order management. But as demand increased, so did the pressure. Managing rentals through back-and-forth messages quickly became overwhelming, and keeping track of inventory without a clear system made things harder.
She needed a better way to present her products and take orders without losing leads. That’s when she chose Booqable as her party rental software and party rental website, allowing her to accept bookings upfront and give customers a clearer way to browse her offerings. For Aisha, features like image search and security deposits became key in helping her launch and grow a more structured rental business.
Building a visual inventory faster with image search
Before using Booqable, one of Aisha’s biggest challenges was creating a clear and attractive inventory for her clients. Without a proper system, she spent a lot of time answering questions and sending photos manually. This slowed down her client intake and made it harder to keep everything organized.
Booqable’s image search lets her find and attach visuals to inventory items directly within the platform, without sourcing or uploading every photo herself. For a solo operator building out a catalog from scratch, that’s a meaningful time saving. Her product library went from scattered to browsable, and clients could make decisions independently instead of waiting on her to respond.
What this feature achieves for Taziri Events:
-
Speeds up the process of adding new rental items
-
Creates a consistent and appealing product library
-
Reduces the need for constant back-and-forth with clients
This directly solves her earlier issue of slow communication. Now, clients can browse items visually on her website and make decisions faster. And it means Aisha spends less time explaining products and more time focusing on delivering great events.
Protecting rentals with security deposits
As her inventory grew, so did the need to protect it. Renting out decor and event supplies comes with risks, and without a structured way to handle deposits, Aisha had to rely on manual agreements and trust. That added stress and made it harder to scale her business confidently.
With Booqable, she can charge security deposits directly through her online store. Customers pay upfront when placing an order, and if everything is returned in good condition, refunds can be processed easily from the backend. This gives both her and her customers a clear and reliable system to work with.
What this feature achieves for Taziri Events:
-
Ensures accountability for rented items
-
Reduces the risk of damage or loss
-
Makes refund handling simple and trackable
This has removed a major concern from her workflow. Instead of worrying about potential losses, Aisha can focus on fulfilling orders and growing her business. And because everything is handled within the same system, it keeps her process clear and manageable.
A stronger foundation for future growth
Since switching to Booqable, Aisha has been able to take on more clients without adding more hours to her day. Having her rental website and order management in one system means less context-switching and fewer dropped leads.
For a solo business owner, having both a party rental website and a party rental software in one place has made a noticeable difference. It allows her to stay organized while continuing to grow her inventory and client base. As Aisha puts it, “Booqable has been a lifesaver in client intake and management. I’m so happy I took the step.”
Her next focus is expanding into corporate clients — a step that would have been difficult to manage without a more structured foundation in place.
