Mobile Gem Mining Template
Under Consideration
I would love to see a Mobile Gem Mining Template.
Just throwing this out there, since many new templates are being added: Foam, Mini Golf, Christmas Lights, Game Truck, etc.
I like this idea Access denied
Hi Wes,
Can you tell me a little more about Mobile Gem Mining? We're considering developing a template for it, but we have very little information about the idea.
Any details would be helpful.
Thanks,
Shane

Hi Shane,
Happy to help, and glad to hear a Mobile Gem Mining template might be in the works — we'd absolutely use it.
Quick rundown of how it works: guests receive a bag of "paydirt" (sand and gravel pre-loaded with real gemstones) and pour it into a mining sluice, which is basically a water trough with a screened bottom. They rinse the dirt away and keep whatever gems they uncover. It's a big hit at birthday parties, school and church events, corporate events, town festivals, and public fairs — but the way we price it varies by setting.
The way I picture the template, it's really geared toward the package-based bookings — birthday parties, school events, church events, corporate events, and town events. That's where a website would drive most of our traffic. These run as an all-inclusive flat rate with no per-bag pricing to the guests:
So the ideal template would let us build packages and generate a quote based on what the event needs.
We also do a festival / public event mode — per-bag retail, where we set up and sell bags directly to attendees, priced by size. Here the bags are consumable inventory: we buy by the case, sell by the bag, and ideally track bags sold vs. on hand per event.
I've attached a few photos so you can see the setup, and you can check us out here to see it in action:

Happy to answer anything else that'd help you build it out.
