Do you dream of quitting your job and becoming an entrepreneur? It can be a challenge to juggle starting up a business and keeping your job out of necessity. A bounce house rental business is one that can be easy to start up with little investment of time and money and still allow you to keep your job until you are in profit.

Bounce house rentals usually take place on the weekends, and if you should rent yours during the week, you can always set it up the night before. Once you start to see profits, it will be easy to quit your job.

Owning a bounce house rental business is pretty simple. You deliver the inflatable to the customer, set it up, and when the rental time is over, you deflate it and pack it up.

You will need a vehicle with a cargo area or a trailer. You can start out with one bounce house and add more as you grow your business. The inflatable will come with its own blower, but you might want to think about having a generator in case you rent it out to a space with no electricity since the blower will require power. Some inflatables come with a water slide. If you are going to offer the water park package, you should have a few very long hoses.

Some bounce house inflatables can weight 100 to 400 lbs. You may want to hire a high school kid to help out with the deliveries. Your assistant can also double as a spotter when needed.

There are varying degrees of durability in the materials used for constructing a bounce house. The price will reflect the durability factor. There are some inflatables that will run $1,500.00 to $2,000.00. These models would be suitable for a private birthday party, but if you are looking to rent your units as a larger amusement attraction you should plan on spending $4,000.00 and up for the higher commercial grade.

Either way, you want to insure that your units are made of the commercial grade PVC. Anything less, will not last as long, and could become a problem for the safety of your clients. Commercial grade PVC also offers more bounce for a better customer experience.

Insurance will be necessary and compliance with any state regulations and taxes are a must. You do not want to risk having such a profitable business shut down because you did not pay attention to your requirements. Every state is different, so do your due diligence

Marketing your business will be the key to you obtaining success. Having a website would be great, but you can start with a small ad in the newspaper. Word of mouth is some of the best marketing you can have, so get the word out as soon as you can.

A good way to start the word of mouth advertising campaign is to offer your bounce house to a friend or acquaintance whose child is having a birthday party. Offer it for free or for a deep discount. Ask for recommendations, and place your contact information clearly around the bounce house. You will become exposed to others who will want to use your service as well.

There will be times when your bounce house won’t get rented out for a weekend. Take advantage of these times and donate it to a charity event that will draw a lot of kids. This will allow you to use your bounce house as a billboard and expose you to a lot of potential customers.

Always have your business contact information clearly displayed at every event you rent. A person who could use a bounce house could be driving by and see your unit. If you display a way for them to contact you, they will.
