Event Planning Quotes: How Public Pricing Drove 69% Growth

Event Planning Quotes: How Public Pricing Drove 69% Growth

Publishing event planning quotes up front lowers the barrier to inquiry and lifts conversion. Korean event platform Janchikkun has issued 4,491 quotes worth more than 20.3 billion won over four years, and its 2025 revenue passed 2 billion won, up 69% from the year before (Mobiinside, as of October 28, 2026). Its CEO credits pricing transparency and a deliberate focus on making clients feel safe.

How did Janchikkun change the quote process?

In most event businesses, clients leave an inquiry and wait for a call before they learn the price. Janchikkun lists prices for about 400 items and lets clients build their own quote online. It adds fast replies, a dedicated manager and KakaoTalk status messages so the waiting period feels less uncertain.

CEO Yeom Jae-hyun describes three kinds of reassurance clients look for:

ReassuranceWhat it meansHow Janchikkun delivers it
PredictabilityKnowing cost and timing in advancePublic item prices, self-built quotes
ControlBeing able to choose and changeEditable quotes, progress alerts
PartnershipNot preparing aloneDedicated manager, liability insurance guidance

How different is conversion by channel?

About 45% of all quotes turn into contracts. The split by source is wide:

  1. Returning clients: about 75%
  2. Referrals: about 50%
  3. New clients: mid-20% range

New clients convert least, but once someone has run an event with Janchikkun, three out of four come back and sign. The first event experience shapes most of the revenue that follows.

What comes next for the platform?

Janchikkun patented a 3D layout technology about seven years ago, but the work was set aside during the pandemic. It now aims to release AI quote recommendations between the second half of 2027 and early 2028. The CEO personally tracks search behavior, noting the difference between people searching for event agency quotes and those comparing booth rental companies. Because inquiries arrive several weeks before events and peak in spring and autumn, the company is also testing radio and bus advertising timed to those seasons.

Takeaways for marketers

  • Public prices lower the first barrier for new clients. Even in B2B services, showing base item prices tends to improve the quality of inquiries.
  • Manage repeat conversion as its own funnel. With a gap of 75% versus the mid-20s, investing in the first client experience may beat spending more on acquisition.
  • Read the buyer stage from search terms. Someone looking for a quote and someone comparing vendors are at different stages. Give each a separate landing page.
  • Automate progress updates. Proactive status messages cut inbound calls and build trust. For message templates, see 8 E-commerce CRM Message Templates and Channel Setup.
