Cigar lockers can quickly pay for themselves and generate long-term profits. We're here to show you the math on how that works. For an initial investment of $5,999 you could rent out each individual locker for about $200 a month and create a cigar of the month club or cigar subscription service. With 28 individual lockers at $200/month your yearly revenue would be $67,200. Let's assume after the cost of providing your members cigar service you have a 50% margin. Your yearly profit on one large cigar locker is $33,600. Your initial investment of $5,999 just made you 5x that. The possibilities are endless when it comes to add-ons and specials for “Locker Members.” 

 

Idea's to Monetize Cigar Lockers

Cigar lockers can quickly pay for themselves and generate long-term profits. Here are some effective monetization strategies:

Monthly Rental Fees: Charge customers a monthly or annual fee for exclusive access to a cigar locker. Many high-end cigar lounges charge between $50 to $200 per month, depending on locker size and included benefits.

• 10 lockers rented at $100 per month = $12,000 in annual revenue

• 20 lockers at $150 per month = $36,000 per year

• 28 lockers at $200 per month = $67,200 per year

 

Cigar-of-the-Month Club Subscription: Combine cigar locker rentals with a monthly subscription service. Customers can pay a flat monthly fee to receive a curated selection of premium cigars stored directly in their locker.

For example, a $200/month plan could include:

• Access to a private locker

• 4-5 premium cigars each month

• Discounts on lounge purchases

• Exclusive event invitations

VIP Membership Perks: Locker holders can enjoy perks such as:

• Priority reservations for lounge seating

• Special pricing on cigar accessories

• Invitations to members-only events and tastings

By implementing these strategies, your cigar locker system can pay for itself within months, creating a steady income stream while enhancing customer loyalty. Then when you sell out all of your lockers, just simply add more and make even more money!
