If you have ever dreamed of quitting your job, but didn't know how to juggle starting a business but still needing the income of the job, a bounce house just might be the answer for you. You can start your business with little investment of time and money and keep your job until you are in profit.
Bounce house rentals usually take place on the weekends, and if you should rent yours during the week, you can always set it up the night before. Once you start to see profits, it will be easy to quit your job.
Owning a bounce house rental business is pretty simple. You deliver the inflatable to the customer, set it up, and when the rental time is over, you deflate it and pack it up.
A vehicle with some cargo area or a trailer will be required. All you need to get started is one bounce house. Your inflatable will come with the blower to inflate it, but you might want to have a generator in case you come across a space with no electricity. You will also want to have some long hoses in case you offer rentals with water slides.
You will find that these commercial inflatables can weight anywhere from 100 to 400 pounds. It will be a good idea to have an assistant. A high school kid would fit the bill. They can also work as a monitor when needed.
The durability of an inflatable varies and the price will reflect that. If you are just starting out and are renting your units for birthday parties, you can get a bounce house for around $1,500.00 to $2,000.00. However, it you are looking to rent out your units as larger amusement attractions you will require a higher grade unit. You will spend about $4,000.00 for that size and quality.
Either way, you want to insure that your units are made of the commercial grade PVC. Anything less, will not last as long, and could become a problem for the safety of your clients. Commercial grade PVC also offers more bounce for a better customer experience.
Insurance will be necessary and compliance with any state regulations and taxes are a must. You do not want to risk having such a profitable business shut down because you did not pay attention to your requirements. Every state is different, so do your due diligence
You will have more business as you start to put your marketing plan in place. A good website will be necessary but you can start out with a small ad in the newspaper. Always remember, you will also get a lot of business from your reputation. Word of mouth is some of the best advertising there is and it is free.
A good way to start the word of mouth advertising campaign is to offer your bounce house to a friend or acquaintance whose child is having a birthday party. Offer it for free or for a deep discount. Ask for recommendations, and place your contact information clearly around the bounce house. You will become exposed to others who will want to use your service as well.
There will be times when your bounce house won't get rented out for a weekend. Take advantage of these times and donate it to a charity event that will draw a lot of kids. This will allow you to use your bounce house as a billboard and expose you to a lot of potential customers.
Make sure that your contact information is clearly visible at every event were you rent. You never know when someone could be driving by and see your bounce house. This person could be your next customer.
