Fundraising is hard — very hard. Even if you have a great cause, with so many people asking for money for so many worthy causes (including on sites such as GoFundMe), there is so much competition for funds and for people’s attention that your cause can be lost amongst all of the causes. Basically, you need to get people’s attention and people’s attendance at your fundraising event.

One way you can fight the fundraising blues and increase attendance at your next fundraising benefits is by throwing a carnival-type event with inflatables you rent from Signature Event Rentals based in Virginia. Our customer service is beyond compare. We are always on time and on point when it comes to making sure everything you need is taken care of. Not only do we offer inflatables for your next fundraising event, but we also offer everything you will need to make a great impression and party from tables, chairs, and decor to heaters, a stage, and a popcorn maker. Our mission is to be your one-stop-shop for all of your party rental needs. We serve Virginia, Maryland, and the DC area. Below, we’ll go over just how inflatables will increase attendance at your fundraising event. Contact us today to get started!

HOW INFLATABLES WILL INCREASE ATTENDANCE AT YOUR FUNDRAISING EVENT

Occupy the Kids

If you have kids or have witnessed those with kids, you’ll know that sometimes it’s a constant battle just to keep them out of trouble. Kids, especially toddlers who are still figuring out their legs and how incredible the world is, have a tendency to disappear before you can blink. They can wander off quickly and before you find them again, they have touched every appetizer on a plate, spilled some milk, and gotten their new clothes dirty from watching a worm crawl. At a fundraising event, you may have noticed that parents are too preoccupied with watching their kids and chasing after them to care about what is happening at the event.

When you rent inflatable bounce houses from Signature Event Rentals for your next fundraising event in Virginia, Maryland, or the DC area, you can have a safe place for your attendees’ children to be corralled so that the parents can pay more attention to your event. If it’s a silent auction, you will get more bids. If it’s a raffle, you’ll get more tickets purchased. If you are raising money partly by selling goods, such as a bake sale or a craft show, you’ll sell more products. Plus, the parents will forever be grateful you entertained their children for a few hours for them.

More Likely to Return

Most people lead super busy lives. From work and career to family time and religious activities, there never seems to be enough time during the week to accomplish all that needs to be done. When you throw in an optional event like your fundraiser, people can be hesitant to take away time from doing something else they enjoy, such as reading a good book, to attend. This is why it’s imperative that you make your event incredibly fun and enjoyable for all of your attendees so that they will be more likely to return to your next fundraising event.

When you invest in inflatable bounce houses from Signature Event Rentals for your fundraising event, you are adding an element of fun to what normally could be a boring event. Inflatables naturally have people smiling, especially if their kids are having fun on them. If you entertain the kids, the adults will be more likely to return as well.

That’s not all you can do to add some spice to your fundraising event. Signature Event Rentals in Maryland, Virginia, and the DC area also offers stage rentals, as well as a PA system rental. With these, you can invite a local band to come and play music during your event of host a myriad of activities, such as a comedy show. The sky’s the limit for what you can do with a stage. From snow cones, cotton candy, popcorn, tents, and heaters, you can make one fantastic impression that your attendees will remember for next time.

Grab Attention

Those who stand out from the crowd and dare to dance to their own drummer leave impressions on others. They are often admired for their tendency to go against the grain. With your fundraising event, you want something that will grab people’s attention away from their phones just long enough to contribute money.

Inflatables by Signature Event Rentals are great ways to grab people’s attention. They are big and are visible from nearby roads, so if people are driving by and see your fundraising signs, they will be more likely to stop by. Our tent rentals are attention-grabbing as well, some being double-peaked that are indications that an event is going on. With great signage and our tents and inflatables, more people will likely notice and check your fundraising event out.

HOW SIGNATURE EVENT RENTALS CAN HELP INCREASE ATTENDANCE AT YOUR FUNDRAISING EVENTS

Our bounce house rentals are huge structures that are tall and will most definitely grab attention and let people know that you are having an event. Kids may even see them from the window of their parents’ car and ask to stop in and check it out. If you are having a fundraising event that benefits kids, such as raising money for a local school event or a kids’ illness, inflatables are a must to promote fun, memorableness, and to grab attention. After all, even though the goal of your fundraising event is to raise money for your cause, you do want attendees to have fun, to promote future events you host to their friends and family, and to come back. Plus, you just want to make sure they’re not wasting their precious time at a boring event when time is the greatest commodity we all possess.

Signature Event Rentals is passionate about helping you put on the best events, from fundraisers and weddings to employee appreciation days and kids’ birthday parties. We excel at customer service and desire to make this as easy as possible for you. For example, we clean the table linens once you are finished, and we can accommodate your pick-up and return needs. And if your rental needs do change (for example, you need less chairs than expected), just let us know! We’ll make adjustments up to seven business days prior to your event.

Signature Event Rentals in Virginia tries to make it as easy as possible when renting equipment from us. We offer an Equipment Protection Plan to protect you from charges from damaged rental equipment that is in your care. All of our rental equipment is cleaned and sanitized before and after every event, including our inflatables, in order to ensure no germs are spread (which is especially important for children). We do require adult supervision for all of our inflatable bounce house rentals, mainly for safety. Not to worry — we provide ample instructions for use. We are licensed and insured, and if the weather takes a turn for the worse, just let us know at least two business days in advance to reschedule. Contact us today for all your rental party needs!

Ever since you were a little kid, you had an inherent desire to feel valued and appreciated. Luckily, you probably had loving parents who provided you with love and affection, making you feel valued. However, as you grew up and left the home, you still have a desire to feel valued and appreciated, especially by your company. Let’s face it, when the challenging days at work hit, changing jobs can cross your mind. But if you feel valued for the work you are doing even when the going gets tough, you will be able to push through it, but more importantly for your company, you will stick around.

Signature Event Rentals is all about helping you make your employees feel appreciated by providing top-notch rental equipment, such as chairs, tents, tables, and inflatables, for your use. We handle the set-up and the take down with no worries on your part. We also provide heaters, linens, and a stage. Our mission is to be your one-stop-shop for party rentals in Virginia, Maryland, and the DC area. Below, we’ll list reasons why you need to have inflatables at your next employee appreciation day.

WHY YOU NEED TO HAVE INFLATABLES AT YOUR NEXT EMPLOYEE APPRECIATION DAY

Inflatable Bounce Houses Make Everyone Smile

There is something about seeing inflatable bounce houses that brings a smile to everyone’s face. And because bounce houses are extremely noticeable, everyone who is attending will be smiling before they even finish parking. Research has shown that smiling is great for your overall health. It boosts your immune system, helps you relax, helps relieve stress, and elevates your mood. Smiling is contagious so when you smile, those around you will smile as well. Smiling can help lower your blood pressure, make you feel better, make you look younger, and make your more successful. Plus, when you rent an inflatable bounce house from Signature Event Rentals in Virginia, you’ll help form memories from your employee appreciation party that your employees will smile all year long.

Includes the Kids

If your employee appreciation party is a family affair and not just exclusively for the employees, then inflatables are a must. Many of your employees are working parents (moms or dads) who sacrifice time with their families to work for your company. This fact alone can be very hard for working parents who struggle with feelings of guilt about leaving their children and feelings of anxiety about the care their children are receiving when they do leave them. When your employee appreciation party includes the kids, it makes parents feel even more valued not only as employees, but also as parents by the company. You are acknowledging their sacrifice in a small way, which can go miles in your employees’ hearts who do have kids.

Word Gets Around

Businesses need to remember that nothing you do goes unnoticed. If you want to attract the best talent to your business and keep the talent that you have, then you need to get the word out there about your existence and about the quality of employment that you do offer. If you invest in inflatable bounce houses by Signature Event Rentals in Virginia, you can bet that word will spread about the incredible summer employee appreciation party you threw that featured inflatables for the kids to bounce on, a stage for employees to dance on or to showcase their talent, a snow cone and cotton candy machine that both kids and adults were lined up for, and a popcorn machine with added butter. There was a huge tent to sit under to get out of the shade and eat amazing catered food under, as well as the best table top decor. Your company went all out to make your employees and their families feel appreciated. You can bet word will spread out to the community and to those looking for a great place to work to feel valued at. And your reputation matters.

Can Help Curb Employee Turnover

No company is perfect because no one is perfect. Many people forget that companies are made up of people, and people inherently are messy. We all make mistakes, and when working for companies, a heart of forgiveness needs to be in play.

That being said, many companies struggle with employee turnover, which can be quite costly given the cost of hiring, training, and then investing in employees who only leave after a year of service. In today’s marketplace, this can be especially trying for companies, and while there may not be much you can do about it, you can do the little things that can make all the difference to someone on the fence about leaving your company. That little difference could be an inflatable bouncy house rental from Signature Event Rentals in Virginia.

WHY CHOOSE SIGNATURE EVENT RENTALS FOR YOUR NEXT EMPLOYEE APPRECIATION DAY

Employee appreciation parties gives upper level executives a chance to mix and mingle with their employees in a relaxed, casual, and fun way that is just not possible in an office setting. When your kids are bouncing around in an inflatable bounce house and the head of company comes over to start talking to you, you immediately have something to talk about: about how much fun your kids are having and what a great event this is. During the conversation, both of you will smile, which will elevate everyone’s mood. You may even walk over to enjoy a snow cone together. Word will get around about what a great time you all had and everyone will benefit.

Signature Event Rentals can make your next employee appreciation day not only fun and memorable for the whole family, but one that runs seamlessly with no hassle or worries on your part. Our tent rentals and party essentials, such as chair rentals, linen rentals, stage rentals, and heaters will help your employee appreciation party have everything it needs to be successful and to go off without a hitch.
