Bounce House Business Behind The Scenes | Drop Off and Pickups From a Busy Weekend

  • Behind the scenes of owning my bounce house business, The Jump Off!
    This vlog was shot in Aug 2020 and at the time my bounce house business was doing only weekend rentals, meaning we dropped all the waterslides off on Friday and picked them all up on Monday.
    We have since changed our rental procedure to a more typical 1 day rental! The reason; renting all weekend was VERY damaging to the slides. They wore out so much faster than we anticipated.
    So, this was an average Friday, dropping off bounce houses and inflatable water slides, and an average Monday of picking them up.
    Now that we have updated our rental procedures, this is still fairly typical of a weekend, we just do the drops Saturday morning and pickups Sunday morning.

    Nick quit his 16 year "career" as as a District Manager for Journeys shoes in August 2019, and while he worked to scale The Jump Off, he drove uber, sold trash that he found on the side of the road, and picked up as many odd jobs (like building swing sets) as he could.
    Then in late 2019, Nick hit "The Bounce House lottery" (originleadership.com/bounce-h...) and when the pandemic shut everything down in 2020, he sprung into action and took that moment to make The Jump Off what it is today!

    Hey man I love how you knock these big inflatables out by yourself. My best friend is starting up this business this year him and his dad own a plumbing business but I do lawncare and you remind me of myself just a straight hustler man. Thank m solo also I’ve been solo pretty much for 8yrs. I had some employees but no one ever worked out. Hopefully next summer I’ll be getting more help since every one is going back to work. I like your point of paying people good money to have good help. Awsome videos you have another sub bro. Stay safe out here. It’s hot now here in Ga. 🤙🏽

    Hi nick, great video. I am wondering how much is a small bounce house and big one for rents? What is the net profit per month if you do as a side hussle?

    • @nick_o_glass
      @nick_o_glass  2 роки тому

      Lots of factors BUT small bouncer $120-$150 big one $200-$250. Profit per month depends on how much you rent and how many units you got and if you’re able to rent it to multiple clients a weekend etc. if you work hard profits can be $20k a month but you need units.
