Business has been good- in fact, it been good enough that I think Im ready to experiment in expanding into some new revenue generators.
Ive kicked around the idea of renting small portable spas for the past couple of years and since renewal of my yellowpage advertising is forthcoming and a new truck is on the way (Which will need signage.) I thought Id seek the opinons of the forum goers.
Aside from the rental revenue, another advantage I see is using this as a marketing vehicle- Making them an offer to purchase the same spa they rent at a future date, applying the rental fee as a down payment. (But no, there will be no rent-to-own program.)
The disadvantage to this, is simply the liability insurance.
I've done the typical websearch and found that a few companies do this (most seem to be in eastern Canada), often using Softubs or trailer mounted acrylic spas- Little spas seem to be priced near $250 a weekend.
If you dont (or didnt already) have a spa, would you look at this as a viable opportunity to try it out at your pre-inspected home?
Too afraid of the 'cootie' factor?
Whats reasonable for rental fee?
Any suggestions?
Im open to opinions- post on...
