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.

Back to Basics – Starting Your Business On the Right Foot

December 1st, 2011

We’ve talked a lot before about the different things you need to think about before starting your own bounce house rental business. One of the biggest mistakes people make when they are looking to start their own business is to jump in feet first without doing any research beforehand. While we believe that having a bounce house rental business is definitely one of the more solid ways to earn an independent income, we also believe that you should do your homework before you get into the business. Just looking at the products that are available from a bounce house manufacturer is not necessarily enough, so here are a few tips that should help get your new bounce house business off on the right foot.

Themed Products

When something is hot it’s very easy to jump on the bandwagon thinking that you will increase your revenue huge percentage by having something that is highly popular in your inventory. You will find that there are many different bounce house manufacturers who love to create themed products in order to sell more of their own inventory. While there are some themes that will never go out of style, jumping onto the wrong one is definitely a bad idea. Say, for instance, you purchased a Barney themed bounce house when the big purple dinosaur was at the height of his popularity. Within a few years, however, you would’ve found that your bounce house was getting used only a scant amount, simply because that big purple dinosaur was replaced by a number of other cartoon characters and puppets. Try to avoid purchasing themed bounce houses unless it is a theme that is universal, such as pirates or birthdays.

Find Wow Units

Another great tip to making sure that your business gets off on the right foot is to get wow units. Wow units are units that you purchase from a bounce house manufacturer that are very impressive and that make even parents have their jaws drop open in surprise. How can you know that a unit is considered a wow unit? One of the best ways is if it makes you go “wow”! After looking through a number of different types of bounce house manufacturer websites, it can be easy to see the same thing over and over again, so if you find a unit that makes you go “wow”, you should definitely consider snatching it up.

Before You Look Up A Bounce House Manufacturer, Write a Business Plan

August 30th, 2011

Bounce House Manufacturer Some people absolutely love to write. They love putting words onto paper, whether actual paper or electronic paper, and describing things. A large majority of people, however, avoid anything to do with serious writing as often as possible. While they’ll have no problem jotting down an email, the idea of doing something like writing a business plan can be extremely intimidating. If you’re thinking about starting a bounce house business, before you look for a bounce house manufacturer to purchase your inflatables from, you’ll need to have a good business plan.

Getting a Great Plan

Many wonder if they really need to have a business plan in place before they look for a bounce house manufacturer, and the answer is always a resounding “yes”. You should always have a business plan ready, not only for you but for any potential investors that you may look for. Business plans take the ideas that you have rolling around in your head about your new venture and put them into a solid format. They not only help others to see what you’re looking to do and what vision you have but they also help you to solidify all of the ideas that you have so that you can have the best chance for owning a successful business.

One great tip for writing a business plan is to outline your vision clearly. Write a mission statement, basically what the goal of your business is, and make an outline about all of the things that you want to accomplish with your business. Another tip is about budgeting. Many people simply assume that budgeting is the same thing as a business plan, and it’s not. While you need to have a budget in your business plan, as it’s a great way to show you what you have to work with and what you need, there needs to be much more to your business plan than just having a budget.

And finally, when writing your business plan try to think about your clients. After all the customers are the ones who will be making your business work, and if you don’t have the right attitude about your customers your business will likely not succeed. So before you contact any bounce house manufacturer, make sure that you have a solid business plan – one that you’ve had others look over to give you a second opinion on – to give your business the best chance of thriving.

Using Charity To Get Your Bounce House Business Recognized

June 24th, 2011

When you first look at a bounce house manufacturer to start building your small business the last thing on your mind is likely charity. Most people give to charity a few times a year, but what you may not realize, especially if this is your first business, is that charity opportunities can be a great way to get your business known to the public, which means more bookings for you and more money for your business. But how can your bounce house business help some sort of charity?

Local Organizations

Ask friends and family if they know of any organizations that have some sort of annual fundraisers. You’ll quickly find that a lot of organizations have fundraisers on a routine basis, which means lots of opportunity for you to get your bounce house business known. Before you approach just any charity, though, it’s important to make sure that the bounce house that you have to offer to the charity to use will suit their fundraiser. You wouldn’t want to offer up the use of a bounce house for free for a raffle charity, as it wouldn’t suit. But any sort of charity where there are activities going on, such as a charity fair or even a charity bingo, would be the ideal place to set up your inflatable.

Contacts

When it comes to using charity to further your business there is one important word: contacts. Firstly you’ll need to get contact information for the organization that you’re going to be helping out. Today most charity organizations have a website with all of that type of information directly on it, which can make it very easy for you to find what you need. Contact the person in charge, introduce yourself, and explain what your business is. Then tell the person that you were hoping that your business could help the charity to raise money and listen as the other person gets very excited.

Once at the charity event you need to make contacts with the people who are attending the event. Make sure that you are by your inflatable as often as you possibly can be and that you have business cards ready to hand out if asked. It’s not polite to start forcing your cards on people at a charity event, but it’s absolutely fine to give people a card if they ask you for one. Charity events can be a great place to help build your businesses size as well as it’s reputation!

Building Your Bounce House Business One Zip Code At a Time

April 22nd, 2011

Let’s not gloss it over: starting your own business is a very scary thing, especially if it’s the first business you’ve started. Even those people who have begun a number of businesses tend to get a bit nervous when they begin a new one, as you never know how the public is going to react to your business. If you’re thinking about starting a bounce house business, it’s natural to worry that any of the cash you’ve invested in the business by purchasing a new product from a bounce house manufacturer is going to be wasted, but if you do things right you’ll see a huge return on your investment.
Zip Codes Near You

One of the largest mistakes new business owners do is to try to take on too much at once. It’s a bit like overfilling your plate during the holidays and later paying for it in the form of a belly ache. Although when you talk about biting off more than you can chew in the business industry, you’re talking about having too much stress, too much work, and not enough of a profit to justify either of them. Growing your bounce house business is definitely something that you want to have happen, but if it happens too quickly you won’t be prepared to handle your customers needs, which will then give your company a bad rap and may wind up with you having to shut down your business.

Instead of trying to move too fast, learn to grow fairly slowly. One great tip is to conquer your own zip code before you start working at other zip codes. What does this mean? Once you’ve purchased all of the houses you want from your bounce house manufacturer you need to focus on renting your bounce house to those who are within the same zip code as you. It’s always great to start out with friends and family and your inner circle of confidantes, because then you have a group of people who will always sing your praises to others. Referrals can make up a huge percentage of your business if you do it right and provide great service and a great product, allowing you to rake in even more profits as you won’t have to spend as much on advertising. Once you’ve dominated your zip code with your bounce house rental company, you can then work on dominating a zip code that’s near to you, and then another, and then another, until your business has grown as large as you want it to be.

What Do You Need to Run a Profitable Bounce House Rental Business

March 22nd, 2011

There are many people who start up new companies on a regular basis. They know everything that they need to do in order to get the most profit out of their company in the least amount of time, and they make starting a business look extremely easy. This, however, is not the case. Anyone who has ever tried to start a company with little experience will tell you that it takes a lot of hard work to get your business to become profitable. If you want to start a bounce house business you’ll need to have a few things, and you’ll definitely need to find a great bounce house manufacturer that you can trust in.
The Basics

One mistake that a lot of rookies who are starting a business make is that they think that they need to have everything right off. They think that they need to have the best computers, for instance, or the top-of-the-line cell phones. When, in reality, the best way to make the most profit from your business is to start with only having the basics. When you’re talking about running a bounce house rental business, the basics are actually pretty easy to get.
First you’ll need to have some jump houses to rent out. Find a reputable bounce house manufacturer online and figure out which bounce houses are going to be the ones that are the best for your area. Try to get houses that no other inflatable rental business near you offers, so that you can offer something completely different. How many houses should you have? Experts suggest having three: two large ones and one smaller inflatable, such as a slide.
If you have the right bounce house for your business, you’ll also need to have a reliable vehicle. With the bounce house rental business it’s customary for the renting business to go to the location of the renter and to put up the bounce house. This means that you need to have not only a reliable vehicle, but also one that has a large enough cargo area to carry the bounce house. Some businesses opt to use trucks, others wagons, and some use minivans.
Aside from doing the paperwork, getting insurance, and figuring out how much you should rent your inflatables for, the few things listed above are truly the basics that you’ll need to start your rental company.

Why you Should Write a Business Plan

February 18th, 2011

castle-combo When you first begin your own business, things can be extremely unnerving. It’s always scary to begin something new, especially if it’s something that you have very little practice in doing. That’s why almost all business experts advise people who start a new business to write a business plan. Even business owners who have begun Fortune 500 companies look at a business plan before fully deciding to invest in something. If you’re planning on beginning an inflatable rental business, before you even begin to look for bounce house sales websites, it’s vital that you write your business plan.

What it Does

Imagine trying to build a house without any blueprints. Could you build something that looks like a house? Possibly, if you’ve built a few homes before. But is that house going to be anywhere near as sturdy as one that was built with solid plans? Likely not. A business plan is exactly that – a blueprint for your business. It’s a way to keep you organized and to help you to stay on track. You would never believe how easy it is to get off track when you’re running your own business. Things change and you find yourself trying to change to adapt to specific situations, such as trying to find the right bounce house manufacturer or trying to gauge your demographic. Your business plan can help you to keep on track.

What to Write

What should you add in your business plan? Look online and you’ll find dozens of sites that can help you to understand what types of things you should put on your business plan. What you opt to include is all up to you. You should always put into your business plan, however, your company’s goals, how you’re going to achieve them, and what your company’s core beliefs are. These three things can help you to stay on track, even when the bounce house sales situation takes a turn that you didn’t expect it to take. You don’t have to come up with sophisticated words, nor do you have to have a business degree to be able to put together a business plan. You simply have to do some research on the formatting and to flush out your business idea thoroughly.

Tips for Running a Bounce House Rental Business

January 4th, 2011

If you’ve ever thought about running your own business, you’re not alone. Many people contemplate having their own business. They love the idea of being able to do whatever they want and of earning more of the funds than they would if they were employed by someone else. It’s easy to look at a bounce house sales website and to think about the day that you can run a company that rents out inflatables, but it’s another thing entirely to actually start a business and to have it thrive. If you’ve been visiting a website of a bounce house manufacturer and thinking about beginning your own rental business, here are a few tips that may help.

Getting Organized

Organization is key when you’re thinking about having a bounce house rental business. Being disorganized could be the difference between having a business that thrives and one that isn’t able to make it. Imagine getting to your client’s house and realizing that you’ve forgotten the pump or something else that you need. That’s why you should constantly have a list ready to go. A list can help you to keep everything organized and can make it so that you don’t forget anything vital. Have a checklist on a clipboard beside all of the inflatable gear and make sure that you check it off every time you head out to a job.

Research

You’ve got to do a great amount of research when it comes to having your own rental business, from going onto the website for a bounce house manufacturer and figuring out which houses you want to purchase, to figuring out how much you should charge for your rental. Some owners go to a website that promotes bounce house sales in order to try to figure out how much they should charge for their services. This is not a good idea because in order to put a fair price on your rentals you need to research locally, not globally. And the research shouldn’t end after you have begun your business, but it should continue as you research, every year, the prices that your competitors are offering and what your client base is like.

There are a number of tips and tricks that you can use to help you to get your inflatable business to thrive, but make sure, above all else, that you stay organized and that you are constantly researching.
