How To Start A Bounce House Business
Starting a Bounce House Business is one of the most popular hobbies in the summer months. Kids are always running around and playing in their new bounce houses. The fun of bouncing is addictive. The advantages to starting your own Bounce House Business are endless.
Common startup expenses for a bounce-house company include: Bounce homes and any inflatable gear. Any tools or supplies you may need to set up obstacle courses. Vacuum cleaners, extension cords, and paint supplies. Cleaning products.
A bounce house business can be marketed in two ways: On and off site. On site marketing is done mostly at parties and theme parks where people used to gather. Buying ad space on television and in magazines will help you get noticed. Off site marketing is where your bounce house is usually parked. Most often, advertising will not begin until after the season is complete. It also does not cost as much to post advertisements on newspapers and magazines that have broad local markets such as around the mall in your town.
The most important thing to remember when marketing your bounce house is to market to the right audience. If you are thinking about posting an ad on TV, magazines, and newspapers you should try not to post ads on the same channel two hours before your scheduled program. People are very busy and would only be interested in what you have to say if it is something they want to know. For example, if you are thinking about marketing with newspaper ads, try not to post ads during news commercials, sports highlights, talk shows, etc. You could spend two hours ago posting an ad stating “I have an exciting new addition to my bounce house!”
Another mistake is to try to market too many times without using a preview period. A preview period is not required for online marketing, but it is recommended. A preview period allows you to place ads for your product or service for up to two hours before your advertised time. Your ad will stay on the web for this two hours before it expires. If you were to go crazy posting ads every five minutes, you would be wasting a lot of time and money. A good rule of thumb is to post your ad for no less than 2 hours before your scheduled time.
If you follow these three tips, you will be able to save yourself a lot of money. It is much more cost effective to start a bounce-house business online within three hours. Don’t forget, you will need to learn how to market your product or service so you don’t waste too much of your money marketing it.
