Conducting Market Research for Your Bounce House Business

January 31st, 2012

If you want your bounce house business to be profitable, one of the things you need to do is to make sure that you are offering something that people in your area have not seen yet, as well as making sure that you are offering something for reasonable price. If you begin a bounce house business without doing a bit of research first, you will likely find that your business does not have any chance of becoming as successful or as profitable as you want it to be. But many people do not know how to conduct market research before they begin their bounce house business – here are a few tips that can help you.

One of the first things you’ll need to do is to check out the competition. This means doing a search online, and asking locals in your area, to find any local bounce house businesses that may already be around. Once you discover the local businesses that rent bounce houses, you should then do a bit more research to find out exactly how much they charge for each of their houses, and what their policies are. You are doing this not just so that you can offer a fair price for your customers, but because knowledge in the business world is definitely power.

You should also make sure that the bounce house business is warranted in your area. If, for instance, there are already a number of bounce house businesses located within 50 miles of your house, chances are that you may have a difficult time starting your business and making a profitable. If this is the case you may instead want to look to starting some sort of party rental business instead.

Always ask local people, not only friends and family but also acquaintances, if they would be interested in having a bounce house business local to them. Feel free to ask them what they would feel is an adequate amount to pay for a bounce house rental, as well as if they have any questions. This way if they do have questions, you can answer them all on your website before they are even asked of you. Beginning a bounce house rental business can be a great move, but you need to make sure that you have done your homework before you begin.

Tips To Tell Your Moonbounce Customers

January 24th, 2012

Moonbounces are created so that they can be inflated for a very long amount of time, and because of this many customers believe that they should leave their moonbounce inflated the entire time that they are renting it. While it is absolutely fine for your customers to leave their moonbounce inflated during their entire rental period, you may want to explain to them that there may be times when they want to deflate the moonbounce. Deflating a moonbounce is very easy, as all you have to do is turn off the power to the blower in order for it to deflate. When you are ready to inflate again, simply plug the blower back in and within a few minutes the bounce house will be back to being fully inflated.

There are a number of times, however, when it may be a good idea for your customers to pull the plug on their inflatable house starting with keeping the party flowing. Children absolutely love moonbounces, and many times children will stay on the moonbounces the entire time that they are there instead of focusing on other games that you may have set up or celebrating with the birthday child. Customers who want to keep the party flowing will want to deflate their moonbounces when something else is going on during the party, such as having food or when it’s time to open presents.

The blower’s that come with bounce houses are fairly efficient, but if customers have it running for a long amount of time they may definitely noticed an increase in their electric bill. Explain to customers that while they can absolutely leave their moonbounces inflated for the entire time that they have rented it for, if they are looking to save a bit of money they may want to turn off of the blower when no one will be using the moonbounces.

And of course you should always tell your customers that the easiest way to make sure that children know that it is time to go home from the party is to deflate the moonbounces. Once the moonbounces is deflated they will get the signal that the party is about to be over which will help parents to be able to get their children home that much more easily, and which they will definitely think the customers for.

January 14th, 2012

There are a number of ways that you can promote your business, but it’s important to make sure that you find a way that you can promote your business that you’re comfortable with. After all, even the most genius of business marketing promotions will not work if you’re uncomfortable with following through with it. If you enjoy writing and keeping in touch with your customers, one great marketing idea for your Commercial moonbounce business is to start a business newsletter.

A newsletter is a great way to keep in touch with your customers as well as to let them know what is going on in your business. It’s also a way to give them an opportunity to get coupons and to know whenever you are doing some sort of promotion. Twenty years ago sending out a newsletter generally consisted of having to type one up and to print it out, hand mailing it to everyone. Thankfully things are much easier and now it’s a simple matter to send your customers a newsletter.

Start by having a newsletter signup area on your website and by linking to it on your Commercial moonbounce business blog as well as on your business Facebook account. Once you have customers who have signed up, decide how often you will be sending out a newsletter. Remember: too often and you annoy them, too little and they forget that you exist. Some businesses find it helpful to send out a newsletter once a month, while others do it every few months. Decide what is best for your business and for your customers and stick with whatever you decide. Changing things up can be frustrating for your customers and can lead them to believe that you do not follow through with what you say you will do.

When it’s time to send out the Commercial moonbounce newsletter, fill it with fun things. Try to avoid being too boring and make sure that your customers are not only informed but also entertained. You can break the newsletter up into sections, such as a news section, a deal or coupon section, and even do fun things like add a puzzle section to the newsletter. Because everything will be sent via email you can also include links to your website or your Facebook page.

Making Promises To Your Customers

January 10th, 2012

Can you tell why one business has managed to succeed while another one has not? People spend thousands of dollars going to school in order to study business just to learn answers to questions like this, but in reality the answer to that question is extremely simple and is one that you need to learn in order to make sure that your bounce house business succeeds. So why do some businesses managed to succeed while others don’t? The answer lies in promises.

You may believe that the best way to make sure that your bounce house business succeeds is to get the best houses from your bounce house manufacturer possible, but while having great bounce houses to offer your customers is definitely a good thing, it actually is not the most important. If you want to make sure that your bounce house business succeeds, and that all the money that you gave to the bounce house manufacturer in order to purchase your stock was not wasted, you need to make sure that you understand how important making and keeping promises is.

We discussed creating a business plan before, but one of the things we have not discussed about is making promises to your customers. When you make a promise to your customers you are swearing that you are going to do your best to abide by whatever you have said. If you follow through with your actions, customers can learn that you are someone who means exactly what you say, and their trust in you and in your brand will grow. By building trust with current customers, you not only get customers who are likely to come back to you for their bounce house needs, you are also creating your own advertising and marketing team. That is because all of those people who you have fulfilled your promises to are likely to spread the word that you are a great business to work with, earning you more customers and therefore more revenue.

Before you place your order with the bounce house manufacturer, make sure that you understand what promises you are going to be able to make to your customers. Never make promises that you are not going to be able to keep. Keep your promises realistic and make sure that you follow through with all of them and you will build a brand that is extremely strong and profitable.
