Inflatable water slides have become one of the most fun ways to beat the summer heat. They are popular fun and a sure-shot way to get the kids away from the screens and out in the open to experience real life. Not only do they promise an exciting day but also ensure physical exercise of the body.

With numerous reasons to buy/rent an inflatable water slide, here is what your customers will consider before even letting a dime out of their pockets.


1. Purpose

The ‘why’ of the purchase will influence every other criterion of consideration. Is it a one-time use for a party thing or up for all summer? How often will it be used? Whether for every family weekend or just summer birthday parties? Is it going to be temporary or a permanent accessory of your backyard? The answers to the above questions will decide the route of the purchase.

2. Portability

While some inflatable water slides for pool are lightweight, some are really heavy. Typically, a family intending to use it in their backyard pool will prefer the ones that are easy to move around.

Hosts organizing parties that involve bigger attractions, however, will decide upon the commercial inflatable water slides that are heavier and can withstand the jumping and climbing of their attendees.

3. Prices

This one is an obvious but an important fact to consider. Inflatables are manufactured by various companies and therefore come in varying prices. Your customers may understand the concept of “quality over quantity” but they shouldn’t feel robbed after dealing with you.

Your prices must be justifiable and should aim to achieve the delicate equilibrium of customer satisfaction and profits in such a way that neither party is at  loss, a perfect win-win circumstance.

4. Material

Yet another point of concern that is a no-brainer. For buying or renting an inflatable water slide, a long-lasting sturdy material that can warrant longevity of the product will be a preferred choice. Our Ocean Water combo, for instance, is made of the highest quality heavy duty vinyl. It is fire retardant and lead free. These features make it very highly popular among our customers.

5. Design

Let’s face it, we all want what pleases the eye. Aesthetics matter and significantly influence the choices a person makes. Therefore, it is always a good idea to include a wider variety of products that would interest a bigger percentage of interested buyers.

Quirky designs such as the Rainforest Combo with water pool and the childlike innocence of the Unicorn water combo are evident examples of ample variety to offer.

6. Space

One of the most crucial things to consider is the availability of space. No one would want their space to be cramped up when placing an inflatable water slide. A free flat surface devoid of pointy sticky things underneath is basic requirement of inflatables.

Your customers will look for products that fit in their designated space.  As mentioned above, ensure your stocks include not only an array of designs but also different sizes to choose from. Again, variety will bring you the win.
