Can you think of someone that doesn't like to have a smile on their face? Every person enjoys having happiness in their life. For that reason, people are always in search of different types of amusement options for their next party or event, be it a inflatable indoor center or some other attraction.
The amusement industry has become a very fast growing and profitable market. One segment of the industry in particular, inflatables, has been growing very rapidly. Inflatable structure rentals for parties and special occasions have become very popular in the last decade. Renting an inflatable for a child’s party or a big event is a great way to keep a large crowd of kids entertained.
Watch the happy faces of children when you inflate a moon bounce from a quality inflatable manufacturer in the back yard. A lot of rental operators find that this is the most rewarding part of their work. Party rentals are a fun business because your job is to make children happy. We wouldn't want to suggest that there's no hard work involved. Let's take an average rental day for a company that has three basic moon bounces, one inflatable slide combo unit (medieval castle combo), and two concession machines (cotton candy, popcorn, snow cone, etc.)
Renting two out of three moon bounces at $90 each, the inflatable combo unit for $150, and only one of concession machines at $50 would give you gross income of $380.
Consider making half of that on Sunday ($190), bringing the total for the week to $570. Now deduct $70 for expenses ($15 concession supply, $25 gas, $30 car allowance for maintenance and depreciation). You net $500.
Saturday and Sunday are the busiest rental days of the week making inflatable rentals the good part time start up business. Inflatables should typically rent out on the average of 1.5 times per week. Now lets consider how much you may pay for your equipment:
Average moonbounces price $2000 x 3 moonbounces = $6000
plus 1 combo unit at average $3600
plus 2 concession machines at $650 each=$1300.
$6000+3600+1300=$10,900.
This is less than a price for a compact car, yet in a lot of U.S. cities $2000 will pay for a mortgage and leave you some money to spare. All of this from working just on weekends. Dear entrepreneur please note that we used conservative figures. A lot of our customers come from towns where a parent tried to rent an inflatable and found out that the companies are booked out or they are far away with high delivery fees.
To summarize this business opportunity here is what Magic Jump wants to tell you: This is not a buy a book, sell a book, or knock on your neighbors door to sell them something kind of business. This business gives children what they want, be the one who they are anxiously waiting for, work hard and honest, and get paid well for it. Work hard and honest and get paid well for it. Let us show you how we have helped hundreds of entrepenuers start and succeed in their own party rental business!
Q: Is inflatable rentals a good business to start?
A: Inflatables are becoming increasingly popular for childrens parties. More and more people rent inflatable games, because it is an affordable and fun way of entertaining a big group of kids.
Q: How soon can I get my return on investment?
A: Average rentals in most U.S. cities are from $80-125 for basic bounce houses. With an average price of a bounce house at $2000, you may get your money back in just one season.
Q: How long does a bounce house last?
A: About five years depending on how well you maintain it. Water units may have a shorter life.
Q: How many inflatables should I start out with?
A: This is a question that everyone has to answer for themselves. It all depends on your budget. People typically start out with 2 to 4 inflatables.
Q: How much competition will I have to deal with?
A: To find out about competition, you will need to do a little research to find out how many companies exist in your surrounding area.
Q: Do I have to quit my job to start this renal business?
A: No. The Inflatable business is a weekend business. Most rentals are on Saturdays and Sundays, with occasional weekday requests.
Q: What about characters?
A: Cartoon characters with licensed items may be good if you are in an area with high rental rates. Please keep in mind that these characters are usually in demand for a SHORT period and you may be stuck with an unwanted bounce house after the hype for that character has died down. That is why Magic Jump Inc. recommends to purchase units that are timeless and don't fade out of style.
Q: What are the main costs of operating this business?
A: Advertising and Insurance are the main costs of operation.
Q: How much space do I need for a few inflatables?
A: Most people are able to fit their inflatables in their garages.
Q: Ok, I am ready to start, but which units should I buy?
A: For your first units you should buy unisex units, which could be rented to both boy and girl parties.
Q: What if I find another company that has cheaper prices?
A: Research has shown that there are less expensive inflatables in the market, but remember you get what you pay for. This business has been family owned and operated since the beginning. We have been in the inflatable business for about 10 years now and have a good understanding for making the inflatables and the quality. We make a good product at a good price. You will not find an inflatable in the market today that compares in quality and price.
