12:04 I’m a 96 baby but that made me screaming laughing. I just came from a foam party at my work and I’m sitting here like wait a min I could do this. Thank you so much for this elaborate video!
The 80s were rough on all of us lmaaaaaao thanks for checking out my videos!!! I may not know you personally but this entire hustle is very very doable!!! I also feel that getting in now puts us ahead of the pack because it's not as popular right now as bounce houses but it will be very soon!!! Best of luck with your hustle and thanks again for checking out my video!!!
@@FoamGuy Im already working in childcare so my contacts are plentiful and you’re so right it’s refreshing for once to get into a niche market before it’s over saturated. I was going to also add other services to make a complete children’s party entertainment service and up charge more! You don’t understand the value of this video, keep up the good work, & let’s get this 🍞 and best of luck to you too 🫶🏾
@GloopGloopglop thank you for the super kind words!!! That means everything!!! Upselling is absolutely key and with your plugs you'll take off quick!!! Best of luck, you got that 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
Thank you and my pleasure!!! I absolutely recommend doing it. I constantly experience people telling me "I had no idea what to expect" or "I didn't know it was foam like this" and both tell me this is still new to consumers so we're ahead of the wave by doing it now. Thanks again for the kind words!!!
@@Luquin88 no, not at all but you have to use what’s made for foam. Some of these other dudes try to save a buck and use wild things like dish soap from dollar stores and that will impact the grass especially if having a longer party but if you buy your foam powder or gel from foam daddy or party machines then you won’t have any problem. Same with skin and eyes. Use the right stuff and you won’t have any problems.
Do you have to stay at the party to operate the equipment? Or do parents operate it themselves? Do you deliver and retrieve the equipment? Or do customers pickup and return to you?
@@HarrisPilton789 for foam I do everything. The equipment needs an operator to turn it side to side, mix foam etc and I wouldn’t trust anyone to maintain it like me plus it can be damaged by someone being careless with it. I do set up then leave jumpers and water slides tho. They need very very little maintenance while being used so no biggie there but definitely not foam.
Thank you and absolutely 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽 I’m putting together a video for the way I shoot in pools but basically I shoot directly across and make a “bridge” looking pile of foam that can be swam through. You definitely don’t want to cover a majority nor the entire pool. That could be horrific. I also put barriers on the side I’m shooting at so people can’t walk over there. The foam could cover the exterior of the pool and cause somebody to fall in without realizing they’re even close.
Yo brother awesome video!! Are you doing this full time or is this a side hustle? How much is this bringing in a year right now? I’m thinking of trying this out as a business man!
Thank you!!! And thank you for checking out my video. I do it "full time" but I also rent jumpers, water slides, tables and chairs and theater style big screens. I run it completely solo and projecting gross for the year around 70k. I put quotations around full time because it's not a 40 hour type hustle. The majority of the action is Friday - Monday with Monday being dedicated to cleaning everything. The trick is getting those weekday bookings and once those come in, your entire life changes bro!! My current goal is employees next spring and at that point the math will be nice but they might be needed sooner. For example, I have 4 foam parties this weekend but could have had 2 more if not for time conflicts which would be fixed with employees. I didnt have that issue in June tho so there's evidence of successful scaling in process 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽 do it bro!!!
Also worth noting is I only buy equipment that one man can handle. I don't have any of those 20+ foot slides for example. If those become a variable, which they can with employees, that yearly sky rockets also. Pros and cons. I do every job by myself but outside of foam, the most expensive rental by itself is $250 for an all day water slide.
Great video. Very informative! The website says that pit is 13x13...are those the inside dimensions of actual usable space? Does that pit have tie down capabilities? Would love to see a video on insurance for this type of business. Looks awesome!
Thanks for checking out the video. In this industry that's usually the actual usable space and I'll be honest, I just somewhat accept that usual assumption. Ill hit up Party Machines to confirm. Yes, they have same hook/tie downs as bounce houses. I have a video on that too, I'll forward it over to you. I'm making a video as we speak on insurance. I'll send it over to you once done. Thanks again for checking out my page and video 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
I can't DM nor tag you. Let me know if this link works. If not it's in my shorts lol you know what I mean bro lmaaaaaaao ua-cam.com/users/shorts8wUR_wk5wGM?feature=share
I hate to hear about you losing your job but sometimes we get pushed in the right direction. I really hope this is that for you 💯💯💯💯 There’s definitely a lot of money to be made in this hustle 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽 I hope my videos help you with this process. Let me know if you have any questions and I got you!!!!
@@HarrisPilton789 yes I do. Often they’ll have a DJ and that’s no issue but I do have Bluetooth speakers and Spotify playlists already made and ready to go based on the crowd age, demographic etc
@@FoamGuy Thank you for the responses! I wish I saw this video earlier in the year, but I’m going to start buying equipment so I can be ready to go in 2025!
@@HarrisPilton789 my pleasure and I love it!!! I absolutely 500% support and prefer that process over starting anytime near busy season 💯💯💯💯💯 you definitely want to get a few test runs in before you set up for actual clients. Let me know if you have any questions bro and I got you!!! I wish your hustle success!!!!
and disclaimer; I often suggest both as both will rent and the foam pit manufacturer has a deal that comes with a bunch of foam. The cannon is the more popular product tho.
My bad for the delayed response!! I absolutely prefer the large foam cannon over the stacker. You can get two foam cannons for the cost of 1 stacker. Each 70 gallon tote is a little short of 1 hour of nonstop foam. Depending on the crowd and a few other details, you don’t always shoot non stop tho.
Yes. Powder is super easy to store and it mixes on the spot. Also, it's one pack per tote. No measuring or anything. Foam Daddy gel needs to be prepared beforehand then transported to the site and then mixed with the water. I see people in FB groups debate the amount of mixture for gel all the time. I just dump 1 pack on site then stir with a broom stick and I'm done 🔥🔥🔥🔥
@@FoamGuy I appreciate the reply! I’m looking at the foam pit you recommend in another video. Maybe grabbing some string lights and the rest of the equipment you said to. Kids are back in school so I fear not getting much traction
@dpascal95 my pleasure 💯💯💯 do it bro!!! Best of luck with the hustle. Right now my August and September are busy but October doesn't have anything on the books yet which is understandable. Buying now or in the next few weeks will give you plenty of time to get those practice runs in before next year so you can kill it then. Let me know if you have any questions and I got you!!!

Question tho. Isn't soap bad for lawns? Does it need to be treated after in any way?
@@Luquin88 no, not at all but you have to use what’s made for foam.

Use caution using the foam with an inground swimming pool, awesome video

Where did you buy the tripod for the black foam machine?
It came with the foam machine. “Foam Daddy” is the manufacture and they supply it with the machine.
Which one would you say to start off with the all in one pit or the foam daddy cannon
The foam cannon. The pit is good and popular too but the cannon is the franchise player.
and disclaimer; I often suggest both as both will rent and the foam pit manufacturer has a deal that comes with a bunch of foam. The cannon is the more popular product tho.
Do u recommend this one or the hd pro foam? … how many hrs the one u bought last with does 2 70 gallons
My bad for the delayed response!! I absolutely prefer the large foam cannon over the stacker. You can get two foam cannons for the cost of 1 stacker. Each 70 gallon tote is a little short of 1 hour of nonstop foam. Depending on the crowd and a few other details, you don’t always shoot non stop tho.
Do you find that powder foam is better than liquid or gel foam like Foam daddy sells?
Yes. Powder is super easy to store and it mixes on the spot. Also, it's one pack per tote. No measuring or anything. Foam Daddy gel needs to be prepared beforehand then transported to the site and then mixed with the water. I see people in FB groups debate the amount of mixture for gel all the time. I just dump 1 pack on site then stir with a broom stick and I'm done 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Also, I use a 70 gallon tote with 1 pack of foam powder and get an hour of foam.
