...fun amusements for Toddlers and Big Kids a Train with Tracks! Seats 13 (4 per car and 1 in the engine). Plays music and comes with approximately 98 feet of track. Easy to set up and run. Add track and cars. You can suggest a train for most events, company picnics love to keep the kids happy, church, school, and promotional commercial gatherings such as openings, big sales, large parking lots with room to spare. Trains draw a crowd and generate excitement for featured attractions like movie openings, restaurant promotions, store sales, and more. Add Chugger The Choo-Choo from Fun Attractions, they know mechanical rides! See them at http://FunAttractions.com.

There are so many additional things to offer for rent, you are already delivering a couple bounce houses or inflatable slides why not add items like kiddie rides, offer a special on carnival games, 3 for $____.  Package and include prizes from your local Target, Party Store or find one on the web.  When you can include these prize packs, especially themed ones, for parties this is one less thing for the adults in the crowd to be responsible for and they will gladly pay for it.

Services are an important part of your reputation. Your customers will remember you for the good you do and will be more likely to pass along a good word about your company.

Remember, you have to mention, or persuade, or suggest to your customers that you have other rentals available. They may not have considered a Karaoke Machine, Disco Ball, fun challenging inflatables for the bigger kids and smaller specific toddler size fun toys for the youngest ones.  It doesn't hurt to suggest it, know your rates when you do as they may readily add your suggested item to their order.  Most events only happen once a year, remember this and make it the best annual event they remember.

Start a new business based from home

  
Inflatables Super Store package deal saves you $5,000

Home based businesses are increasingly the methods individuals are reverting to for new careers regardless of background experience or education. Save on overhead expenses of having an office somewhere, pay your own benefits, and offer inflatable bounce houses and water slides for kids parties and school or church events. The party rental industry is fun, profitable, and entails planning an awesome experience for kids. 

You will need a financial partner whether it is your own bank account, your bank approving a loan, or your family or friend. Whether you are or are not working with anyone else you must have a plan that shows how much money you need financing for and how you plan to pay it off.
Include in your business plan these things: the total amount you need to start, the amount you will need financed, kinds of inventory you will purchase with your investment.  Note other services and their costs: storage rent, employees, upkeep, travel expenses, insurance.

Q: How much do I need to invest in a kids bounce house rental business?
A: You can start with as little as you desire but for profits that will help pay the rent and start a new business that will grow you can figure from $12,000- $20,000.  With this amount you can acquire some creative and unique inflatable units.
Q: How much money can I make in a kids inflatables, moonwalks, and slides rental business?
A: Keep the math simple, you can charge 10% of the cost of your rental products, $2,500 slide charge $250 for 3-4 hr. party. After renting twice only weekly you can earn $2,000 for the month. Purchase a Bounce House for $1,750 and charge $175 rent.  Collect rentals on this Bounce House twice weekly and make $1,400 for the month!  Just make sure your schedule is booked for the months ahead, keep your items clean, safe, repaired, and dry.

It's easy to work with kids, it's easy to get started planning parties for kids, it's easy to do it right and grow fast.
