Woodworking is a popular hobby around the world, and many have turned it into a business. Blaž Dolenc started doing woodwork a couple of years ago, and this spring, he had the idea to start renting out wooden party games. He chose Booqable as the platform to launch his new venture with a rental website built with the website builder.
LesenaZabava
Blaž took up woodworking as a hobby in 2022 and enjoyed making homemade games for his family and friends. This spring, he had the idea to start renting out wooden party games to fun-loving people who want to enjoy their time outside. It’s a perfect idea because, despite their popularity worldwide, he is the only person providing these services in Ljubljana, Slovenia.
LesenaZabava offers a wide range of popular wooden party games, all handmade by Blaž. The games include Giant Connect4, Cornhole, Giant Dominos, Giant Jenga, Giant Labrinth Puzzles, and more. Each is built to the highest standard by Blaž in his home workshop. He plans to add more games in the future as the interest in his products grows.
Creating a rental website
When Blaž started planning his rental business, he knew he would need a website to accept online bookings. Being new to rentals, he began by looking at popular website builders like WordPress and Shopify. However, it quickly became apparent that he would need another solution to set up online bookings without technical knowledge. So, he began searching for solutions from other providers.
His search led him to Booqable, with its built-in website builder and inventory management system. He chose the Vogue theme, as it provided a good base for the aesthetic he wanted for his website. He then customized it with his own content and added his products. In addition, he used the translation feature to translate all of the labels on the website into Slovenian.
Expanding in neighboring countries
While Blaž is just getting started with his wooden party game rental business, he has big ambitions. Once he has grown its presence in Slovenia, he would like to expand to neighboring countries like Italy, Austria, Hungary, and Croatia. Meanwhile, he continues to make more games to add to his rental offering alongside hobby pieces.
