2016 Defender 130 Puma 2.2 HCPU Santorini Black

Company name help

Recently it was my sons birthday and we had a party for them and all of their friends. Over the last couple of years I have bought them bouncy castles and soft play equipment (My boys are 1 and 3). We had most of their toys out for the party and I was asked by a lot of the parents where we had hired it all from as it was much better than they were hiring for their childs party.

Never one to miss an opportunity I have decided to start hiring it all out. Problem is I can't think of a name for the company that will look good and sound good on flyers etc.

Any helpful suggestions would be much appreciated!

Before anyone suggests it I am not going to call it bouncy mcbounce face!

Depends how you market it , obviously anything beginning with A will be first in the listings in telephone books etc ( if people still use them). If that's not an issue then how about
Play Days ,
Castles filled with air!
Bouncers ( although a few dads may get the wrong idea )
Boing and Bounce

Had a similar idea about 20 years ago but shelved it because the liability insurance cost was ridiculous

I've had some good quotes for the liability insurance etc so that isn't an issue.

Just the name!

I think 90% of people now go online, so not too bothered about it starting with an A.

Probably going to set up a website, social media etc and then some local flyers in schools and play groups. Going to try and go to a lot of the summer fete's and the like, just to get some advertising/exposure.

I was trying to stay away from advertising a specific thing in the name like bouncy castle etc as we have all sorts to hire out.

Quite like "Play Days" though!

We have inflatables at the event company I work at. So know a little bit about the industry. Before you jump in with both feet, you have the insurance side of life covered but you also need to factor in that the inflatables need to be inspected yearly. Heres the web page with the info required. I don't think the test is very expensive but if youre margins are tight it might make the difference between a profiot and loss.
