Today I’m coming at you with a quick idea. Inflatable bounce houses, but miniature.
It’s a common business tactic. Take something that is popular and scale it down. For example, storage units are widely seen as an excellent investment. What’s the mini version of a storage unit? PO boxes. Smaller, less capital to buy in, but your profit can be even higher.
Let’s dive into it.
Here’s the thing about a bounce house. They are expensive, difficult to maintain, and hard to store. This one is $6,000 and weighs 595 pounds. Have I made my point yet?
You would need a truck, a crew of 3-4 people, and a ton of storage space to pull this business off. Your business would be highly seasonal because you can really only set these up outside.
But what if I told you bigger was not better? What if there was a world where you could buy a smaller bounce house for only $300, rent it out far more often, and not have to store a 600 pound piece of plastic in your garage?
Introducing the Cloud 9 Bounce! Here to make all your wildest business dreams come true.
At only 41 pounds and 5.5 feet tall, and $209, this is the small business owner’s dream.
It folds up small enough to store in a closet, you can put it in the trunk of a Mini Cooper to deliver it, and best of all cleaning it would be much easier because it’s made to be used inside.
Why it works:
Virality. If there’s one thing we know, parents love taking pictures of their children and posting it on Instagram. Customer acquisition will be so easy because of all the moms sharing pictures of their kids in this.
Year round rentals: These bounce houses are perfect for indoor birthday parties, weekends at home, spring break to keep the kids entertained, etc. Bad weather won’t spoil a party with one of these.
How to get customers:
The first customers will be the hardest part. Facebook Marketplace will be the ideal place to showcase photos and pricing.
