Should You Use Social Couponing For Your Inflatable Jumpers Business

January 18th, 2012

There are always fads that come and go, and while sometimes these fads are absolutely silly, there are times when they can be extremely beneficial to your business. One of the current fads that is all over the Internet is called social couponing. Social couponing works like this: a person goes onto a social couponing website and finds a deal something like pay $15 and get $30 worth of products. So how can you use social couponing to help your business to expand and to earn an even greater profit?

If you do it correctly, social couponing can help you to expand your business in a huge way, but you need to make sure you know exactly what you’re doing before you sign up for it. There are numerous stories you can find online about companies who have signed up for social couponing but who were unable to follow through with the deals that they offered their customers due to overwhelming demand. This can be the death of a company as it shows that you do not follow through on your promises or your deals.

There are a number of deals that you can offer through social couponing website, but you need to make sure that any deal that you offer you’re going to be able to follow through on. When it comes to renting inflatable jumpers, things can get tricky as you only have so many jumpers to rent out and so much time to be able to do it in. If you have other sorts of party rental items, however, you may be able to offer some sort of a social couponing deal with the other rental items that you own.

For instance you may be able to offer a deal like rent to inflatable jumpers and receive rentals for a popcorn, hot dog, and cotton candy machine for free. You can offer great deals on renting your inflatable jumpers out, you just need to make sure that it is explained thoroughly that you will only be able to follow through on the deal if they book on a date that is available, you can even give a list of available dates if you would like. Make sure you select a social couponing website that that is reputable and that you know exactly what you jumping into before you sign up for it.

Delivery Crew Basics

December 23rd, 2011

There are a number of things about owning a business that you need to keep in mind, and one of the most important is making sure that your business is represented correctly. Having your business represented incorrectly will help your business to sink faster than it started, and that is definitely something that you don’t want to have happen. One thing that you may not think about when it comes to business representation is what your delivery crew looks like. How they look, and how they act, reflects directly upon your business, so it’s vital that you make sure that whenever someone who works for you delivers inflatable jumpers that they do so in the correct way.

Attire

If you are having someone else deliver your inflatable jumpers, even if you are only having friends or family members do it, it’s important that they look the right way. If you are just starting out and do not have a uniform (although it is possible to get affordable polos and to have them embroidered easily), make sure they wear something that is nice looking and that is not offensive. Even wearing simple dark blue t-shirts and khaki pants is a very respectful way to look, and will go a long way to helping your customers to feel as though they have rented from the right person.

Actions

The other thing you need to make sure of is that anyone who is setting up inflatable jumpers for you knows how to act. Make sure that they know that they are to be responsible and respectful at all times, and saying “ma’am” and “sir” can go a long way towards that. People enjoy being treated respectfully and they will think better of your business if you treat them this way. Make sure that anyone who sets up the inflatable jumpers for you knows how to set it up properly – run through the process with them a few times and make sure you have them do it for you without any help from you, as there is nothing less professional than someone bumbling around trying to set something up without knowing how to do it.

Anyone who sets up inflatable jumpers for you is a direct representation of your business, so make sure that they are able to do so in a respectful manner, and that they know exactly what they’re doing.

Promoting Your Inflatable Jumpers By Having a Brand

August 31st, 2011

Starting your own inflatable jumpers business is definitely a scary proposition, especially if you’ve never started a company before, as is the case with most owners of this type of business. Getting the funds to purchase your inflatables can be tricky and intimidating, but one of the most difficult things for most small business owners is learning how to promote their brand. There are a number of ways to do this, but do you actually know what a brand is? Do you have a brand for your business? Having a brand can be the difference between your business growing and it staying small.

What Is a Brand?

A brand is defined as a name, slogan, symbol, or sign that is used to identify a seller’s products or service. Take the big M for McDonalds, for instance – that is a brand that is easily recognizable throughout the world. Coca-Cola’s distinctive red logo is another great example of how well branding can work. But branding isn’t just having a great logo or slogan, it’s figuring out what your business is and what you stand for. The first step in building your brand is figuring out who you are.

Your brand is how people perceive you. Do you want to be seen as a grumpy business owner who doesn’t set up your inflatable jumpers properly? Or do you want to be seen as a happy, helpful owner who is interested in making sure that their customers needs are fully taken care of? That is the first thing you need to figure out when you’re trying to build your brand. Once you know who you are, and what you want your business to stand for, you can start to build your brand.

Building a brand can be tricky, but there are a number of websites online that have great tips and tools about how to create a brand. Having the right image and font for your businesses name is important (as is, of course, having the right business name), and you want to make sure that everything about your brand is not only comfortable to you but also that it suits your business to a “t” as well. Then you can plaster your brand on your business cards, on social media sites, and on any advertising that you pay for. Having a great brand is the ideal way to make a person instantly think of your business when they’re looking to hire someone who rents out inflatable jumpers.

Getting Money to Start an Inflatable Jumper Business

May 23rd, 2011

inflatable jumperIt has been commented on by many financial experts that the inflatable jumper business is one of the most rapidly growing, and profitable, businesses in the past few years. This, of course, makes people eager to jump on the inflatable jumper bandwagon and to start renting out their own jumpers. Aside from keeping track of expenses for taxes and such, it truly is a very easy business to own. The problem often comes for many when it comes to finding the initial amount of money to purchase inflatable jumpers from a manufacturer. While the price for jumpers isn’t that high, any amount can be too large when you don’t have the cash readily available. Here are a few tips that can help you to get your hands on enough capital to start your in business renting out inflatable jumpers.

Tax Returns

At the beginning of every year people moan and groan because they have to do their taxes. A few months later they cheer when the tax refund comes in the mail. If you’re going to be due a large refund, that may be the perfect time to get your hand on one or two inflatable jumpers. Make sure that you keep your expenses down during the year before you plan on purchasing a bounce house so that you don’t wind up having to use your taxes to pay off previous debts. Then, once your return clears, purchase one or two jumpers to start your business out right. While you’re waiting for the return you can research your area to figure out exactly what type of inflatable will do well and you can get your price list together as well.

Credit Cards

It can be risky to purchase things with a credit card simply because of the high interest rates that are associated with them. But when you’re purchasing something that can bring you a large amount of income it may be a risk that you’re willing to take. If you opt to use a credit card to purchase your inflatable jumper, it’s a good idea to start with just one and to pay off the amount you’ve charged before you purchase another one.
Other Options

There are many ways you can get your hands on capital for your investment if you look around. Some choose to have large yard sales, getting rid of the things that they don’t need in order to earn money for their new business, and others have friends and family members that they can take loans from. If you’re serious about wanting to start an inflatable jumper business, don’t assume that you can’t afford to purchase any jumpers, as there are many options out there that can get you the capital that you need to start your new business.

Inflatable Jumpers Rental: Getting Delivery Right

April 29th, 2011

There are a number of home-based businesses that are taking off recently due to the tricky economy we find ourselves in. One of the more popular businesses that taking off is the inflatable jumpers business. Inflatable jumpers rental is a great business to get into as it allows you to be your own boss, work from home, and to provide your clients and customers with a very enjoyable and fun product. But there are a few things to remember if you’re starting an inflatable jumpers business, and one of those is that getting delivery right is key.

Installing an Inflatable Jumper
Getting an inflatable jumper set up is not a difficult task, and anyone can learn to do it simply by reading the instructions and by practicing a few times. What is important when it comes to delivery isn’t just getting the inflatable jumper set up correctly, but is making sure that you get things set up properly and that you do so in a professional manner. Professionalism and customer service are two of the most important things when it comes to having a profitable business and can be the one thing that sets you apart from your competitors.
What are you wearing when you deliver the inflatable jumpers to your clients? What you wear goes a long way to proving how professional your business is. If you go to your customer wearing jeans and a ratty t-shirt, they’re obviously not going to believe that you’re very professional. If, however, you go there wearing a polo shirt that has your businesses name embroidered on it, they’re going to instantly believe that you’re a very professional operation. There are a number of places online where you can purchase polo shirts with your name or logo embroidered on them for a very reasonable rate.
You also need to make sure that anyone who is delivering your inflatable jumpers for you has patience. It’s not uncommon to go to a home for a pick up and to find children still bouncing on the inflatable. While the children shouldn’t be jumping on it all day, it’s not professional nor is it great customer service to get upset at the customers for this. Instead they need to know how to calmly, and with good humor, get the kids out of the house so that they can deflate it. Remember: delivery and pick up are likely the only two times your customer will ever see you, so you need to make sure that you’re very professional during both times.

Customer Service Tips for Your Inflatable Jumper Business

February 11th, 2011

There are all sorts of tips that you’ll read online about how to make sure that your inflatable jumpers company is profitable. You’ll find tips on advertising, tips on how to purchase the ideal inflatable jumper, and even tips on how much you should charge. But none of these tips will help you to make your company more profitable if you don’t have a good understanding of what customer service is and how to do it properly.

Customer Service
Customer service, on paper, sounds easy. It’s just the act of making sure that all of the clients that you’re dealing with are given service that exceeds their expectations from the start of your business together to the end of your business, and even beyond. While it’s easy to say “I’m going to give my customers great customer service”, it’s a great deal more difficult to put into action, especially if you’ve never had to deal with customer service before and haven’t had the opportunity to build up the right skills.

When you own an inflatable jumpers business, the inflatable jumpers that you rent out, and the cost to rent them, is only about 50% of your business. The other 50% comes from you. No customer is going to rent inflatable jumpers from you if they find that you’re rude and uncooperative. What they need is to be treated the way that any client should expect to be treated – with respect and care.

Difficult Customers
So what do you do when you’re working with difficult customers? Unfortunately every business owner will, at one point in time or another, have to deal with a difficult client or two. How do you handle these customers? First it’s always best to let them get out what they need to say. Don’t try to cut them off, and listen to everything that they’re saying. Many times if you simply let a client vent their frustrations out on you, they’ll wind up being in a much more reasonable frame of mind. Always listen to your customers and then, once they’ve vented, ask them what they would like you to do to help fix whatever the issue is. Many times you can reach a compromise much easier than you may believe.
Remember: customer service isn’t something that you “should” do, it’s something that you have to do if you want to make sure that your inflatable jumpers company is one that succeeds.

Charity Events and Inflatable Jumpers

February 9th, 2009

Many people, even those who are currently renting out inflatable jumpers, are constantly trying to find a new group of people to rent their jumpers. They are getting the birthday and wedding crowds, but they want to diversify, which is always a good idea. What type of people would rent inflatable jumpers and inflatable slides that aren’t already renting them?

How about charity events? The sole purpose of charity events is to raise money, and the event chair people often go to great lengths to make their guests happy so that they can get the most money possible. One great way to do that is to have something that the children can enjoy and something that the adults can enjoy. Inflatable jumpers are perfect for children to have fun on at a charity event, and even adults can enjoy an inflatable slide. When you’re dealing with charity crowds, you may have to lower your rates slightly, as charity coordinators are always looking to spend the least amount that they can. But the benefits come when you realize how many people will learn about your services thanks to being at the charity event, giving you a great amount of potential clients in one quick event.
