The Perfect Business Opportunity - Start a Moonwalk Business

Owning a moonwalk business a great experience. The inflatables business is not only fun...it's profitable too! And actually the problem is rarely that your company won't grow...the biggest problem is that if you aren't careful...you can grow too fast.

Here are a few of the questions you need to think about when starting a bounce house biz.

Why would I want to start a bounce house business?

The business is fun for the whole family. You have very little advertising costs. You can keep your present job and grow as you desire.

What's the start up cost?

Set up your company. Talk to an account to check out the local business laws and make sure your business is set up correctly for accounting. Assume you're going to grow quite a bit. (It's alot easier to act like a business from the beginning than backtrack later). Pick a name that's fun and exciting. Decide what kind of rentals you'd like to do...birthday parties, large events...or both!

Talk to manufacturers...once you decide what you're going to need, place your order. It'll probably take 3-4 weeks for your equipment to arrive.

Where can I find Customers?

Kids everywhere! Birthday parties, church events, family reunions, post prom parties, summer camps, corporate picnics & events, holiday parties, store promotions, school parties, street fairs and festivals (be careful with street fairs and festivals...talk to your salesperson about the risks of "pay for play"), swap meets, pre-schools, day cares, Halloween festivals, fund raisers, car dealerships, grand openings, shopping malls and lots lots more...don't forget family reunions. Look for all the posibilities!

Is there a quick profit?

It depends on how hard you work. Offer a lower rate for Monday-Thurs rentals. If your bounce rental is $150.00 (which is a low standard in much of the country...based on average rentals of 1 1/2 times a week for 7 months (very few of us work 12 mos/year, You should make approx $6750.00 for that one unit. If you want to maximize your rentals...really push that unit. Assume you rent another 2 times a week at 1/2 price. This adds $4500.00 for the 7 mos. Total income turning into $11,250....for just one unit that costs less than 3,000.00. Just image what you can do if you add to your profit with packages...or purchase 3 more bounces! 4 bounces averaging $225.00 each week for 30 weeks + $27,000.00. Not bad for a part time home business!

Is it easy to Grow?

Just start adding more equipment. Just don't purchase too much at a time. The most successful rental companies maximize the use of their equipment. Before you spend a fortune on a "showpiece" work the numbers and make sure it'll make you more money than you would make if you bought 2-3 less expensive pieces.

One last thing...remember..inflatables are sewn vinyl..Should by chance you have an act of vandalism before an event....units can always be patched. Check with your salesperson on how to handle any possible emergency that might come up.
