Tips from the Pros

  1. Create promotions around specific occasions: graduations, birthdays, school and church festivals, holidays, corporate events, etc.
  2. Network with other party-related businesses such as florists, photographers, caterers and venues where events are held.
  3. Customers find you online. Build your internet presence with a practical website showcasing your equipment and engage customers via social media by posting photos and videos of your equipment in action.
  4. Keep in mind that customers will typically consider three main factors: price, inventory and customer service. How can you stand out from the competition in these areas?
  5. Always keep your party rental equipment clean and on display in your showroom. It will catch your customers’ eyes and prompt sales opportunities.
  6. Put your name, number and website on every piece of equipment you rent. That way attendees will know where to go if they’re interested in hosting their own event.
  7. Stock the supplies for your equipment. It is quality control as you will determine what products are used. Plus, supplies can be marked up as much as 100%, adding to your profits.
  8. Offer samples of popcorn on your busy days. Not only will it keep customers relaxed and occupied, it will demonstrate the value provided by concession foods.
  9. Decorative carts are an attractive way to display poppers or cotton candy machines. These can also be rented for higher dollar amounts than the machines alone.
  10. Offer a discounted rate on machine rentals over consecutive days. You can more than make up the difference by what you will sell in supplies.
  11. Attend area trade shows for niche markets like weddings or parent-oriented events.
  12. Create custom package deals that group concession equipment with other party essentials.
