Discount Coupons and Promotions

December 10th, 2011

After some time you will find that your moonwalk business will seem to hit a plateau. While business may grow rapidly at first, it is likely that it will start to slow down after time, and while you may be making a good deal of money, you may not be reaching the full potential of your business. Once you’ve reached a plateau it is your responsibility to decide if you want to settle with your business or if you want it to grow to greater heights, and one great way to do that is with discounts and promotions.

Getting Attention


In today’s coupon savvy world people are looking for deals now more than ever. There are even television shows that are all about collecting and utilizing coupons in order to save yourself a great deal of money. People know that if a company is offering any sort of coupon or promotion it is because they want to introduce new customers to their business, but they also know that they want to get a great deal, and in order to do that you will need to make sure that you do truly offer them a great promotion and deal.

So how can you offer a good promotion for your moonwalk business without losing money? First figure out exactly how much money you need to make in order to truly earn a profit. While the profit that you earn may not be a large one, it should be enough to keep you comfortable, as well as enough to make it seem as though your product is deeply discounted. You could also offer a promotion instead of a discount. For instance if someone were to refer a rental to you, the referrer would get a rental at 50% off. This is a great way to provide your existing customers with a treat as well as to get new clients.

There are many different ways that you can use coupons and promotions to build your moonwalk business, but make sure that you only take on as much as you can handle. Many businesses who use online promotional tools, such as Woot, often find that they have taken on too much and are unable to fulfill their obligations. Make sure that this is not something that you fall into.

What Do You Use To Transport Your Moonwalks

August 25th, 2011

So you’ve decided to start a bounce house business – congratulations! You’ve set aside enough money to buy three different moonwalks and you’re all set when it comes to insurance and a business plan. You’ve got your advertising plan in mind and you’ve already printed out a bunch of business cards – but there may be one thing that you’ve forgotten: how are you going to transport your inflatables? You would be surprised how many people forget about transporting, and storing, inflatables until they have already purchased the units, and many times they don’t have enough money left to purchase any sort of transportation.

Getting Transportation and Storage

The first thing you’ll need to think about is how you’re going to get your bounce house to the party location. If you’re just trying to take one unit you can likely fit it in the back of a truck with a full sized bed. But then what happens if you have to transport two at a time, and how are you going to store your units, as this is also very important. The moonwalks need to stay safe and dry and in a location where animals are not going to be able to get to them.

One of the best ideas for someone who is just starting out is to purchase a small enclosed trailer – much like the ones that you’ll find outside of a U-Haul building. These small enclosed trailers are generally large enough to hold a number of units and are actually very easy to haul around. You can even haul one with a car, possibly saving you thousands of dollars. Simply have a trailer hitch installed on your vehicle and you’ll be all set and ready to deliver moonwalks to your clients.

But where can you find one that doesn’t cost a huge amount of money? For the best bet go with a used storage trailer. These trailers you’ll often find on online trading websites that are local to you, and you may be able to purchase one from a company such as U-Haul, as they regularly sell their older trailers in order to make room for new ones. Trailers are also the best option simply because you can lock up your moonwalks in the trailer and can rest comfortably at night knowing that no animals, or moisture, will be able to get into your bounce houses.

Owning a Moonwalk Business as Primary Income

August 17th, 2011

One of the first questions most people have when they’re talking about owning a moonwalk business, after they ask how much the bounce houses cost and how much they can make, is this: can you have this type of business as your primary income or do you need to use this only as your side income? This is actually a very important question to ask, as there have been far too many people who took their great idea to start a moonwalk business in the wrong direction and wound up failing miserably.

Earning Your Income

It can be difficult to figure out if you should make your business your primary income or not, but here’s a tip: unless you have a great deal of disposable income at your fingertips to care for your bills for two years, it’s not a good idea to make your bounce house business your primary income right when you start off. This is because, as with any good business, it takes at least two years to establish yourself with your moonwalk business. This is the time when you’ll learn more about the business, how to run things smoothly, and how to advertise your business so that you can earn more money. But let’s jump back to starting out.

It takes a bit of money to start your new business, as you have to purchase the inflatables to begin with, and most people find that it takes a good percentage of their savings in order to get the inflatables that they need to start the business. Once you’ve purchased your inflatables (purchasing three is a good idea as it gives your clients variety and gives you the most earning potential when you’re starting out without overwhelming you), and purchase your insurance, it’s likely that you won’t have a great deal of savings left.

But that is okay, because that is when your business will start to earn money for you. So why shouldn’t you use your new moonwalk business as your primary means of income? Because it takes awhile to get off the ground. It will take some time for your business to become a household name in your area, even if you live in a small town, and for people to see how wonderful your products truly are. So while eventually your rental business may be one that you can use for your sole means of income, you should definitely wait until your business is earning enough money to justify quitting your other job.
