Starting Out Guides | Bouncy Castle Network

Starting a Party Rental Business?

Don’t be tempted to take shortcuts when starting your business! Cheap inventory might seem tempting, but if you buy cheap, you buy twice!

We recommend that you join some Facebook groups and do your market research by reaching out to experienced operators who will be happy to help.

Marketing your rental business

You should combine both traditional and modern tools when marketing your rental businesses, as this gives you the best return on investment and allows you to learn what succeeds and what does not. Printed leaflets, business cards and word-of-mouth, when combined with top-end websites, high Google rankings, web directories, online advertising campaigns, social media and email, can put your business in front of the right customers. You will need to appear professional and reputable both on and offline. A BCN website is a must to manage online bookings are a great way to start building your business and growing your profile!

We would also recommend looking into Event Hawk as a great tool to spark conversations with site visitors into profitable bookings.

Managing your earnings

Don’t spend all your money at once! After a successful rental season, you might be tempted to empty your pockets, but before you do, consider insurance, equipment, transportation, advertising, and the fact that winter is a lot less lucrative for party rental companies than the height of the summer. Budget your earnings wisely, especially if you are just starting out.

BCN website and online booking systems

Why are online booking systems so important?

With our live reservation software, customers can book online and check availability 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, regardless of whether you’re asleep, driving or spending time with your loved ones. This means you can put the phone down and discard the paper diary, and let modern technology help you manage mundane tasks easily. Better yet, those who make a booking or even send an enquiry to you will have their details kept on file for auotmated future marketing.

You can expect to see a significant increase in bookings with an online booking system – and we have the perfect solution to get you off the ground!

Website design

People don’t find out about your products and prices from classified ads anymore – they will expect to find you on Google via a search enquiry.

A simple homemade website won’t draw in much business or give your customers much faith in your brand. You will likely never appear in a good position in search engines such as Google unless you are a professional web designer and marketing specialist.

A professional website will give your potential customers a positive impression of your business and be far better placed to generate bookings for your business.

BCN websites are stunning, driving bookings and streamlining administrative tasks. We pride ourselves on our exceptional websites that look beautiful and function flawlessly; we know the challenges you face and have built the best solution possible.
