Taking Stock of 2010 and Looking Forward to 2011
03/02/2011
When looking back at how successful your bouncy castle business was last year and how you aim to tackle 2011, whether you are looking to expand your hire fleet or branch out from the hire of a few small back garden sized bouncy castles into the hire of larger inflatable units, it’s well worthwhile asking yourself a few simple questions:
Have a think about which of your inflatable bouncy castles and inflatable slides were the most popular last year in terms of bouncy castle bookings, and which were the most lucrative and generated the most income. If you’re not sure, it’s well worth keeping track of your bookings this year so that you can evaluate the figures in order to plan for the next! You may find that you made double the money on some bouncy castles and hardly any at all on others, in which case it’s time to re-evaluate your hire fleet!
It’s also worthwhile assessing whether all your enquiries and bookings were fulfilled. Were your most popular bouncy castles already booked out? Maybe you need to think about buying duplicate bouncy castles in the same theme. It might be a great idea to have TWO Princess Bouncy Castles available for hire if they were your most popular themed bouncy castle! Maybe you need to buy more unisex themed bouncy castles to please BOTH the boys and girls – from feedback that we’ve received here at the Air Inflatables Sales Office, both Jungle and Undersea themed bouncy castles were very popular the last year.
And what about those potential bouncy castle bookings for the school fetes and galas? Perhaps you could do with a larger Inflatable Slide and perhaps an Inflatable Obstacle Course or an Activity Fun Run? And if you haven’t already got an Adult Bouncy Castle, these are ideal for the fetes and fairs, as well as larger family celebratory events such as engagement parties and weddings.
At this time of year there are so many things to think about and so many choices to be made, so why not start off by visiting the Air inflatables Website to see what we’ve currently got ready and available to buy ‘off the shelf’ from our warehouse, have a think about what you’d like to buy, and then give us a call to arrange a visit – we’re not a ‘virtual company’ based offshore, but real people, based in a real office in Bingham, Nottinghamshire, with a top quality range of bouncy castle and inflatables ready and waiting to show you... and we’ll even make you a cup of tea or coffee while you’re here!
