5. Customer relationship

Never undermine the importance of maintaining a good relationship with your customers,  if your customers are satisfied with your service, you will get customer referrals and expand your customer base. Except for great quality inflatable and excellent service, you also need to pay attention to other details like customer order history, contact details, it allows you to take feedback and communicate with them instantly.

6. Charity

Rent your inflatables to the local children' home or orphanage, perhaps offering a small discount. Lend your inflatables to a charity event for FREE. All the money taken goes to the charity, but you get FREE publicity, (especially if you hand your leaflets out) and if you are lucky, you will get a mention in the local press.

There are a lot of ways to promote your inflatable rental business, these are just a few of them. Be creative and you’ll find opportunities everywhere. Good luck!
