Thinking about starting a rental business?

Don’t go at it alone. There are so many factors to consider when starting a new event rental business. How will you acquire customers? Do you know what equipment you should buy (and when to buy it)? Partnering with Recipi will help you:
Create a professional website with pro SEO
Build and execute a marketing plan
Determine which rental items and service are best for you.

Save countless hours and thousands of dollars.
Here are a few examples of how we help our customers launch their business, get profitable quickly, and avoid costly mistakes:
Determine the right rental business concept for you. Do you have a pickup truck? Will you be buying a trailer or box truck? Where will you store your equipment? We help you determine the right path to a successful, profitable business that doesnt require tens of thousands of dollars to get started. Whether you want a simple weekend side-hustle or a full-time business, we will help you with a strategy that fits your life
Buying the right equipment. Some tents have 20’ long poles that require enormous box trucks. Perhaps that’s not the best decision on day-1 of your business. Or maybe you have your eye on some beautiful chiavari chairs, but they don’t fold and instead they stack.
How will you acquire customers quickly? It can take months to years to get your website to rank highly in Google, so what’s the plan to get customers? Google Ads is a powerful tool but you can waste thousands if you don’t have the expertise to manage your advertising.
Here are some typical problems new rental business owners face:
“I’ll build the website myself, how hard can it be?” Its not hard to build a website. Anyone can do it, but if not built properly your site is doomed to sit on the 5th page of Google, never to be seen by potential customers. This is why professional SEO is so important. This can be the make or break factor in creating a successful rental business.
“I can hire a local marketing agency” or “I know a guy who can help with marketing.” Ok great. Do they know anything about event rentals? Our team has launched 50+ rental businesses in the US and Canada and has 10+ years experience as Certified Google Ads & Analytics Professionals. Here is a fun example of how we saved Skyline Event Rentals in Carlisle MA thousands of dollars in marketing costs.
Patrick from Skyline Event Rentals was working with a large marketing agency charging nearly $800/mo for website and marketing services. After a frustrating first year in the event rental business, Patrick came to us and asked us to look at is advertising. We found that Patrick had spent nearly $1,000 on Google Ads for searches like “gold chiavari chair rentals” “sailcloth tent rentals” and “party store near me.” Patrick didn’t own gold chiavari chairs or sailcloth tents, and people looking for party stores are generally looking for balloons, plastic cutlery, etc. He had wasted nearly $1,000 on searches for rental items that he didnt own and didnt plan on buying. If this wasnt addressed, he wouldve wasted thousands of dollars over his first few years.
“I’ll just buy some equipment and figure it out as I go.” Buying the wrong equipment will cost you thousands. Randy from Front Range Tents & Events in Colorado Springs thought he could make more money if he bought a 40x60 tent for weddings and corporate events. The problems became immediately obvious when Randy realized he couldnt always find 4-5 reliable laborers to help him set up his monstrous tent. He was ready to call it quits when he found Recipi. Together, we helped Randy re-adjust his business. We suggested smaller 20x20 frame tents to start which can be easily installed by 1-2 people. Randy sold his 40x60 headache and bought a few 20x20 tents and is now doing great.
These are just a few examples of why it makes sense to partner with Recipi to launch your rental business. With 50+ successful rental business launches, we are confident we can help you build a success, long-term business.
