That’s the way I started my first Amusement Rental business. As I got calls for different items, I added to my inventory slowly, but surely. As I grew, I could afford to add more storage area. When you’re getting anywhere from  $100 to $450  for renting an inflatable bounce (also known as Moonbounces, Jumps, Spacewalks, Jupiter Jumps, etc.), your business grows quickly with little overhead.

Then, when you start to add a cotton candy machine, snow cone machine, spin art machine, etc., you have extra things to offer each new customer. Before long you’re renting a bounce, a hot dog steamer, a basketball game, and 3 carnival games – all with only one delivery. That’s $300 to $400 profit, at least. For just delivering stuff!

You can add to your profits by remaining at the event and acting as an attendant for these games and fun. You can add temporary tattoos, sand art, party games, etc.  Concentrate on affluent neighborhoods and you can clear $600 or $700 a day with just one event. Or just drop the stuff off, set it up and let the customer handle everything themselves. Or even have the customer come to you and pick everything up themselves. It’s up to you.

You just make the investment, store the equipment, deliver it and come back afterwards to pick it up. Presto!  Money in the bank. Part time or full time, it’s up to you. When you can afford more equipment, you start doing multiple events and that’s when it really gets profitable. Full time money profitable, if you choose.

I started of using a station wagon, then as I grew, I went to a van with a small trailer, then a full sized truck. All while working out of my garage until I got big enough to use a mini storage facility. Talk about low overhead!

The birthday party market alone is huge, but add company picnics, school and church carnivals, grand openings, day care centers, summer camps, and on and on. Whew! Trust me, there is a lot of easy, fun money to be made with an Amusement Rental business.

This money making manual, HOW TO START AND OPERATE AN AMUSEMENT RENTAL BUSINESS, teachs you everything you need to know to be in this fun, profitable and easily operated home based business.

You will learn about all of the fun equipment you can rent to private individuals and corporations such as:

• BOUNCES - The single most popular attraction you will have. The perfect birthday party product.  I knew a man who concentrated solely on smaller birthday party bounces. He had 13 bounces and had all customers pick them up from his home.  He made almost $80,000 a year.
  
  
• INTERACTIVE INFLATABLES -  These are similar to bounces in the sense that they are inflated with air and remain inflated with a blower. There are so many different kinds of Interactive Inflatables, but don’t worry, they are all listed, with their manufacturers, in my manual.  Some of them include: Giant Slides, Ball Crawls, Bungee Runs, Gladiator Joust, Obstacle Courses, Human Foosball, Bouncy Boxing, and many more.
  
  
• FOOD CONCESSION MACHINES -    Cotton Candy, Snow
  Cones, Popcorn and Hot Dog Steamers are your big ones.
  
  
• LIGHTWEIGHT INFLATABLES - These a very lightweight inflatables that can be carried by one person even though they inflate to enormous size. They have tunnels, obstacle courses, slides, climbing ramps, and more great fun for the kids. Favorites include the Balloon Typhoon, the Amazing Maze, Cameron the Caterpillar and dozens more.
  
  
• CARNIVAL GAMES - These all purpose, fun products can be included with almost any event or promotion. Such versatile, eat to rent favorites include: Ring Toss, Tic Tac Toe, Ball Toss, Can Smash, etc. Carnival booths are another natural add-on.
  
  
• FUN ACTIVITIES -  These include Miniature Golf, Spin Art, Sand Art, Pop A Shot Basketball, Candle Art, and more.
  
  
• BUSINESS PROMOTIONAL PRODUCTS -   Great for car dealerships, grand openings, big sales weekends, etc. Inflatable figures such as a Giant 25 foot Gorilla with a banner across it's chest that says, "MONSTER SALE", INFLATABLE TUBES with lights inside and a banner on the front. Sky Dancers, which are blowers with 20 foot high figures that whip and dance as the blowers send air through them.  Money Machines, in which customers try to catch as much money as they can inside the machine.  All kinds of fun stuff that make you easy money! 
  

There are so many markets for your amusement rental equipment. There is so much money to be made. And so much of it is merely delivering it and setting it up. Extra money acting as an attendant (if it’s even needed) is also
another profit center for you.
