Starting a Business
Starting a Toronto party rental business in the
current economy can be like navigating treacherous seas. I am a firm believer
that if you have the right vision and enough commitment you can fashion a
successful business in almost any market. How about the party rental industry?
Is that something feasible? The party rental industry is a curious case, it can
be a way of making money on the side, there are major success stories but it is
also an industry with a high turnover rate.
Figure Out Who to Cater To
It is
an industry with a lot of little niches to fill. You can just rent out
equipment for kid’s birthday parties out of your garage or really go all out
and organize warehouse raves. Take Allstar Canada for example, they started
renting sound equipment to small shows and now they provide equipment for
everything from stage plays to major sporting events. To enter the business you
have to have a very clear idea of which sector of the industry you want to set
up shop in. If you want to cater to kid’s parties or weddings it is all about
the location of the business. You need to have a very close look at the
demographics in the area and other competitors in the locality. You need to
look for a location where the demographic range is between 30 to 40 years of
age and there are not many companies providing similar services. My apartment
is near a place on the Danforth called ‘Kids Fun Town’. It is a venue you can
rent for children; there are no other places similar to it for ten blocks in
either direction. As a result the place is rented out to parties from 9 AM to 9
PM, seven days of the week.
If you want to deal with adult parties the best way to make your mark in
the Toronto party
rental business
is by having unique little gimmicks. When I was in University a couple of
friends of mine started a party rental service targeted at underground dubstep
producers looking to get exposure. They would rent out a warehouse, sometimes a
condo or even some sort of waterfront property. They charged a reasonable door
fee and spread the news of the show in a way that gave the impression that it
was illegal and very underground. Most of the times they had the proper permits
but the aura was that of an illegal event and the people loved them. Themed
party rental agencies are also very popular, clever little gimmicks are greatly
appreciated by customers and really help you stand out as a business.
In Conclusion
The
economy right now really is not ripe to start a business, that being said if
you have a solid idea for a party rental agency, go for it. If you do not want
to have a go at it full throttle, set up an equipment rental facility for some
quick cash on the side. After all, everyone likes to have a good time, any time
of the year.
