How Soon Do I Need To Reserve A Bounce House / Inflatable


I frequently get the question on the phone, "When do I need to reserve my item?" or "How late can I get my bounce house?"  There is not perfect answer for that question.  There are a lot of variables that could affect the answer I give.  Some items we have multiples of, while others we only have one.  Other than graduation time, when I would suggest you call as soon as you know what day your party is, you can usually get by with a week to a week and a half before.  Again, I have to reiterate that this might not always be the case, but often times it can be.  If you have your eye on a specific item, and have a few days you want to check on, don't hesitate to call us here at A&S Play Zone and run those days by us!

Homemade Lunch Party

Working at a party rental and inflatable rental company has plenty of perks.  One of them, specifically at A&S, is the fantastic cooking by some of the staff!  On one warm summer day each year, one of the more experienced cooks on the staff takes the time to prepare a feast for the rest of the company.  Everyone is invited in, and a great time is had by all!  The food consisted of chicken, burgers and hot dogs  as the main course.  Some of the sides involved macaroni, seasoned corn, beans of all sorts, and much more!  On top of the fabulous food comes the great camaraderie of those working at A&S.  The workers get along wonderfully, and everyone can be involved in the fun games and conversation.  With a warehouse full of inflatable rental equipment, how can people not have fun!  Bounce houses, obstacle courses, dunk tanks, and every other interactive inflatable anyone could want is available for the employees to enjoy.  Of course, every day is a fun day when you work at a party rental company!  If you are interested in working for this fantastic company, we are accepting applications on our website at <http://asplayzone.com/index.php?p=apply>.

Website Work

Thanks to everyone who answered my question yesterday, or will answer it in the upcoming Facebook poll!  Me, being the master of questions, has another query for you all.  What would you like us to improve about our website?  Personally, I think we could add a search box, and we are considering doing that soon!  I think the online system could synchronize well with our office computers so we could be more in touch with our customers.  On that note, we could integrate our social media more as well, from YouTube, to Facebook, to this very blog.  In the most simplest of terms, how can A&S Play Zone serve you better?  If you haven’t visited our website in a while, it is www.asplayzone.com

What Inflatables Do YOU Want Next?


I promised that today I would have a new question to pose for you all, and I wasn’t lying!  As the summer rush begins to taper off a little and A & S Play Zone starts to look back at their inventory, we have a few thoughts.  As always, after a busy year so far, our busiest year ever as a matter of fact (Thanks to all of you!), a few of our older inflatables that we rent out have become damaged to the point where we will no longer rent them out to parties in the Dayton Cincinnati, and Columbus areas.  This is simply from many years of bouncing and jumping, and our bouncers take a beating after a few years!  Also, we look towards the Autumn/Winter months.  We see events like Halloween and Christmas coming up, and although we supply people with equipment for these events, there is more we could do.  Our months outside the Spring and Summer times are not as busy as those, so we always have a bit of a quandary.  We always want to expand and add more items to keep our customers happy and interested, but which direction should we go?
AS PlayZone has a large number of bounce houses (bouncers jumpys jumpers moonwalks moonbounces or bounce house, whatever you want to call them!) Combination bounce houses, but could we add more?  There always seems to be a demand, so if this is your favorite item and where you want to see us expand inventory, let us know in the comments!  Maybe your favorite attractions include the extreme or interactive inflatables, such as the demolition ball, boulder dash, or defender dome.  Tell us which item is your favorite, and we’ll look for similar items.  This category does include bungee runs, the mechanical bull, and inflatable jousts too!  A big section that we expanded in this year was slides and water slides.  We have 3 large inflatables slides that we rent out to parties in the Dayton, Columbus, and Cincinnati area, but should there be more?  Is three dry slides enough?  Maybe, because especially in this heat, the water slides could not stay in the warehouse!  Wipeout and the Dolphin water slide both entered our inventory this year, to team up with the Roaring River and Velocity Extreme.  Perhaps another mid-range slide or even a kid’s slide?  Those are my thoughts, but remember, all these questions I’m asking I want your thoughts on!
For now, these are all the items I’m going to suggest, and we will see what people think.  As we move forward in the process of transitioning into the later months of the year, we will get more specific with what items we are looking at, and we want you to help along the way!  Thank you all for being such great readers!

What’s Next?


Hello everyone!  As the summertime nears its halfway point, people have had plenty opportunities to see inflatables in action all around, and hopefully you have seen some of ours!  As we continue to serve people’s inflatable needs and party needs, we wonder what some of costumers think of the job we’ve been doing.  There are many many places to review A&S Play Zone online.  Of course, we do love it when people call us directly to thank us for the job we do, but posting online can help lead others to a similar experience!  Now to those places online.  The big ones include Google, Yahoo, Yellow Pages, and Angie’s List.  I’m sure there are plenty more, but these are the few that immediately come to mind.  Please let us know what you thought of our service.  If you loved it, fantastic!  We appreciate good reviews.  If not, we check these frequently, so we will soon respond to any concerns and possibly contact you to resolve any issues!  Thanks again everyone, and I’ll be coming to you with a new question tomorrow!

Hueston Woods 5th of July Recap


Another fourth of July has come and gone, and a great time was had by all at the Hueston Woods firework display.  The hot weather drove many people to the beach, and the location to watch the fireworks from was idyllic.  However, staying cool was a major concern.  Even the water in Lake Acton was warm, and didn’t do much to cool the weary patrons.  What was cool however, was that A & S Play Zone provided five of their premier inflatables at a discounted price.  Voting was held on the A&S Facebook page for the favorite ride of the day.  The water slide, of course, took first place, and was by far the most popular attraction.  It was the Roaring River 22′ dual lane slide, and the best part about it was that it had cold water running down it’s tracks, making it popular among kids and adults!
Here is some video live at the event! - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WKfmylla4U0
Other popular rides included the Adventure Obstacle course, which allowed kids to race down it’s multiple lanes, and the 20 x 20 Extreme Bounce House.  Trained attendants were posted around each inflatable to assist kids in enjoying the rides properly.

Overall, the event was a big success for all who showed up and all who took part in the inflatable fun.  Thank you for having us Hueston Woods!

5th of July Celebration at Hueston Woods


A & S Play Zone is bringing some inflatables down to Hueston Woods for their Independence Day Celebration!  The festivities will include music, games, and of course fireworks!
The benefit part is to assist the American Heroes Alliance and the Yellow Ribbon Support Center.  The event sponsors are asking for donations of cash, or non-perishable food such as Beef Jerky, Slim Jims, Pop Tarts, Breakfast-Granola-Power Bars, Sun Flower Seeds, Nuts, Gum, Easy Mack & Cheese, Drink Mixes (single type), Raman Noodles, Cup-a-Soup, Razors, Foot Power, Chap Stick, Toe and Nail Clippers, Socks, Baby Wipes.
We have slides, water slides, bounce houses, and a dunk tank.  These items are going to be set up near the beach, by the concession stand, so people can find refreshment in more ways than one!  Tickets will be sold at $1 per ticket, and $15 dollars for an all day wrist band.  A portion of these tickets will go to support the American Heroes Alliance and the Yellow Ribbon Support Center.
Stay tuned for more posts from the Hueston Woods 5th of July Celebration!

Generators


With the recent storms that ravaged many areas in Ohio, the number of people without power is staggering.  Usually A&S Play Zone rents generators out to parties in parks, to power inflatables or food machines.  In times such as this, people flock to the stores to purchase generators, but they can be rather pricey, especially if this is a one time use.  In times of trouble, like now, where the demand for generators is high, and people are in need, we could help people out with their power needs for less than the cost of purchasing a new generator.  Remember, A&S Play Zone has far more than just inflatables and party supplies, so remember to check our website out for items that are new, or that you didn’t know we had!
