2021 in Review

After a year of uncertainty, it was nice to have some things go back to normal in 2021. In fact, the majority of our clients reported business coming back stronger than ever, and most of them are expecting even greater things in 2022. We had plenty of milestones to celebrate this past year as well. Here are three of the biggest highlights this past year at JumpOrange.

All-New XLD Series

Entering this season, JumpOrange introduced its newest inflatable line, the XLD Series! This series has all the quality expected of JumpOrange, with new additions such as exclusive vinyl colors and the much-requested detachable pool feature. The first inflatables under this set, the Cali Palms and Dolphins 15 and 19 ft slides, sold out almost immediately and have proven to be top rental choices!

In November we unveiled even more inflatables under the XLD collection! These inflatables included the Galaxy, I’mperfectly, Mysterious Jungle, Oasis, and Queen collections. With this new variety of unique themes and designs available, our clients will be able to maximize their rental opportunities like never before! You can expect more inflatables under this series in the near future!

A New Website

This year we also launched a new and improved website. In addition to being better at taking preorders, this new website also improves user experience by unlocking more features for user accounts. Your patience and consideration during this transition has been greatly appreciated, and we hope you enjoy using this upgraded website for this upcoming season and beyond!

Of course, part of the need for a new website came from the return of JEM Day. Bringing back last year’s sales event meant many JEM Club members were able to save big on their favorite inflatables. Expect similar levels of deals when JEM Day rolls around again, so be sure to be signed up for JEM Club when it returns!

IAAPA 2021

The IAAPA 2021 Expo happened a month ago, but we’re still buzzing about it. After a year that it was cancelled, it was great to be back on the convention floor and meet old and new friends alike. Whether it was taking time to chat at our booths during the convention or catching up at outside events, it was great to see so many familiar faces again! Hearing so many of your success stories was a great reminder on who we serve.

For all the challenges 2021 brought, it also brought numerous successes for both us and our clients. We can’t wait to see what 2022 has in store for all of us, and we hope you will join us again next year!

Owning a company in the party rental industry is tough. In the midst of serving others this holiday season as well as minding the usual demands of running a business, it can be easy for business owners to overlook what holiday gifts they’d like for themselves. Here are some gift ideas for the party rental business owner.

 

Simple Green Vinyl Cleaner

 

Company Needs

A party rental company will always need certain items, especially for their inflatables. Vinyl cleaner such as that provided by Simple Green is a great choice for any party rental company, as having this specialized solution will be a big help in cleaning larger inflatables. Similarly, disinfectant is always handy to clean surface areas with high touch volume. Other practical gift ideas include extra tarp, stakes, and face masks to help keep the company well stocked.

Reading Material

Small business owners are looking for ways to get ahead, and this is especially true in the competitive party rental industry. Well-researched books on the subject provide great insider knowledge to help with this. Two well-recommended books are Party Rental Business Playbook and How To Start Your Own Bounce House Business U.S.A.: From Part Time To Full Time In No Time. These books have plenty of tips and tricks sure to help both new entrants and seasoned pros.

Food and Drink

Treats are always welcome, and can be given based on the owner’s preferences. Perhaps one owner enjoys premium roast coffees, which would pair wonderfully with a personalized coffee mug. Another might prefer wine bundled with a specialty bottle opener. Specialty food always makes for great gifts, and there are plenty of options available such as chocolate boxes, dessert kits, and meal prep sets that are all customizable and sure to meet anyone’s tastes!

Whether it’s tailored to their industry or a more general treat, plenty of great gift ideas are out there that party rental business owners will love.
