Every industry has an off-season, and the off-season of inflatable rental companies is winter, so the rental company must consider formulating a plan to solve the problem of off-season income.
Winter can be a tricky time! Most of the rental time is done in warm weather, but in many countries winter brings cold, wind, rain and frost, making it impossible to rent for several months. So, how can your rental business cope with winter?
For bounce house businesses, the off-season runs roughly from December to early March. Because it’s cold outside, the kids can’t play Bounce House outdoors. There is not much rental business during this period, which will cause the bomb house rental business to struggle.
1. Clean and repair the inflatable
During busy rental times, you may not have enough time to carefully maintain your bounce house and water slide. The winter break is your perfect opportunity to thoroughly keep your equipment in good maintenance condition.
2. Consider buying a new inflatable
Start thinking about renting inflatables next year. You need to add an inflatable toddler park to your inventory, or some other new style of bounce house. Or some units have worn out and need to be replaced. In addition to the long shipping time by sea, the time to purchase inflatable models in winter is just right!
3. Indoor Bounce House Rental
In winter, the indoor bounce house can still be played for children. If you have enough space you can open an indoor inflatables playground.
Indoors are usually limited by the height of the house, so it may be better to place a small size inflator, which is more suitable for toddlers and young children. Activities can also be organized indoors if you have enough space. Including indoor/toddler inflatable equipment rentals into the business is a fantastic idea.
4. Rent an inflatable tent/pub in winter
People also hold various events in winter, such as winter weddings, friends gatherings, holiday celebrations, winter promotions, etc. Placing heaters inside will keep guests in the tent warm and stay in the tent/pub will not feel so cold.
5. Rent a Christmas inflatable
Christmas is a pivotal time of the year! There are countless activities during the festival for children and adults alike. There are many Christmas party entertainment products and services your business can offer, and Christmas bouncy castles and inflatables like Santa, Elk, and more are all very popular. Maybe you can buy a Santa costume and appear at the event as Santa.
6. Advertising inflatable rental
A great way to earn extra income in winter is to advertise inflatable rentals, such as advertising balloons, 3D characters or animal inflatables, spaceships, sky dancers., etc. Seize the holiday period, you will also have a lot of harvest.
