As a new bouncy castle hirer there are a few things you can do to advertise your new bouncy castle hire business either for free or very cheaply. Contact your local schools offering your services for school fetes, as an incentive offer one or two school events in different areas, two bouncy castles for the price of one or an inflatable slide with a free bouncy castle, if you get the job, you will be going there any way and to set up an additional inflatable for free is not much of a loss when you consider the free advertising potential for your bouncy castle hire business.
Make an A board with your company contact details on it, even better if you can put a pocket on it to hold leaflets for potential customers to take and leave it on site next to the inflatables. If you can, at these chosen school fete events, stay on site and hand cards or leaflets and work your sales patter to the parents of children who are using the inflatables you have provided.
Although this can work well, in your first year you do not need to do this at every school fete you supply, just one or two. profits should still be at the fore front of your thinking so do charge your full rate to school fetes with the exceptions of your chosen advertising targets.
Another cheap and effective advertising method is to have some T shirts screen printed with you company name, number and website on the back in large font. Apart from giving you a professional image when delivering to customers, wear these shirts around your town centre and any where else you visit where there will be large crowds of the general public, you will be suprised at the results.
