More Water Woes for Your Moonbounce Business

2008-06-12T14:56:00.000-07:00

How in the world can you run a Moonbounce Business when it's raining all the time? Surprisingly enough, it's not as hard as it sounds. A moonwalk getting wet isn't the end of the world, although if you don't dry your moonbounce fairly quickly it can be the end of the unit.Since inflatables are made of vinyl, a little water won't hurt them. Not even a lot of water, BUT you can't let inflatables

Water Water Everywhere.... How Does it Affect Your Moonwalk Business ?

2008-06-11T17:32:00.000-07:00

Phone Answering Tips for Your Bounce House Business

2008-06-10T17:21:00.000-07:00

One mistake I see people make quite frequently when running their bounce house business is the way they handle their phone calls. This is such a small thing that it amazes me that more people don't put more thought into it. You can spend all kinds of time and money getting the best equipment and advertising but it's amazing how many people don't take care of their phone calls.Now...most of us

Staking Down a Moonbounce .....Should you speak up?

2008-06-09T15:11:00.000-07:00

I saw this discussion on the Moonwalk Forum today. The question revolved around a rental company setting up a tent for a customer while another rental company furnished the inflatables. He saw that the inflatables were only anchored in two places with the other straps just lying there.The $1000.00 question? Is it correct to point out the problem to the customer?In my mind? ABSOLUTELY! And

I got a call from an owner last night telling me he had a bounce overturn at an event yesterday. Just the thought of that sends shivers down my spine.

So...who is to blame?I suggested for his (and the end users) protection in the future that he do a couple of different

Why Party Rentals is the Best Home Based Business

2008-06-07T16:47:00.001-07:00

I had 4 emails yesterday from people wanting to start party rental companies but they're concerned that they're not a "real" home based business. I suspect all of you that have been working today are saying that party rentals is about as real a home business as it can get.Where else can you:1) Start up for less than $5000.002) Operate while you still have another job3) Pay off your investment

The Stress That Comes from Building a Successful Party Rental Business

2008-06-05T10:57:00.000-07:00

I ran into the man who bought our rental business the other day...and he looks exhausted! He asked me if it would ever get easier.The exhaustion is one of the downsides of this business.
