Sweet Home Inflatables
For many years, Flavia and her family enjoyed spending their weekend evening watching movies together in their garden. It became a tradition, and she wanted to share the experience with her friends, family, and beyond. However, the equipment required was quite expensive, so he came up with the idea of starting her own rental business to make it more affordable.
In November 2022, she began to plan her rental business and invested in equipment, including inflatable screens, 4K projectors, sound systems, yard games, and video games, to create the perfect family evening. Soon, she began taking bookings through phone and email with a basic website. This proved to be enough to determine the viability of her budding business.
However, she began to face some challenges as she didn’t have a great way to manage her rentals. Her website provider also made it difficult to optimize for SEO and support rentals properly. So, she decided to look for a solution that could assist her with solving all of these problems in an easy-to-use package.
