What To Look For in a Bounce House Rental Company

Published by funplanner under Uncategorized

Most people when shopping for Inflatable Party Rentals in Orlando look for the company with the cheapest price. This is not necessarily the best idea. Cheap may mean dirty or old equipment. It also may mean that the Orlando Inflatable Rental Company you are doing business with has not filed their business paperwork or have insurance. A well run bounce house company will deliver on time or call if they are delayed. They will make sure that the bounce house is situated in a safe and accessible location and has been properly cleaned. They will properly secure the bounce house and make sure it is running properly before they leave.

Cleanliness means that the bounce house is clean and has no off odor. Bounce houses can really stink if they are put away wet. The sour rancid smell is noticeable, but can be removed on all vinyl portions of the bounce house with appropriate cleaners. If your bounce house seems dirty or smells, ask the delivery person to clean it. They should have cleaning supplies on hand. Some bounce houses have rope mesh where surface cleaning will not eliminate the odor.

Fun Planners has one of the most extensive inventories of inflatable rides and carnival games in Florida. If you are looking for high quality equipment and service at an affordable price, you have come to the right place.

Fun Planners offers unique inflatable rentals like surf simulators, boxing rings, multiple obstacle courses, activity bounce houses, over-sized inflatable version of popular games like Twister and Foosball, and the list goes on.

Company Picnic Tip

Published by funplanner under Company Picnic

Having a well organized company picnic and other corporate outings can make a huge difference in the atmosphere and overall mood in the company.  These picnics and fun events can help co-workers see each other as regular people and make them more comfortable with expressing their feelings and ideas with one another.

Company picnics and other such events are important to the overall productivity of the company. People who feel comfortable at work are able to accomplish the same goals in less time than people who don’t feel cared for.

Tip # 1- Don’t put your corporate event on the shoulders of your employees. This is their time to relax and enjoy. Hire professionals to take care of  everything from the catering to the activities.

Orlando Fun Planners can help with all of your corporate event planning. Check out our wide range of event services.

Building a Team

Published by funplanner under Uncategorized

Taking a group of people and asking them to work as a team isn’t always easy. When hiring, you probably seek out strong individuals with amazing sales skills, who are self motivated and can work independently. The problem with this type of thinking comes when you expect these people to work as a team. Often, competition builds amongst your employees. This is a big waste of energy and time and no doubt, your bottom line will suffer.

Here are some ideas that can help build a more effective team:


1) When team building, concentrate on sales goals, etc. that will produce a greater result if worked on by the group versus individually.

2) In the event that your employees have more than one boss, be sure that the managers are working together. Having the coaches on the same page alleviates confusion and stress.

3) A team needs clear direction in order to be effective. Make sure your players understand what you expect of them.

4) Like all teams, proper and continuous training is what separates the winners from the losers. Fun Planners can make your Orlando corporate event planning and team building unique and effective.

Event planners and coordinators can contact Fun Planners and we will tailor a program to specifically fit your group’s needs, size and objectives!

Creating an even more personal touch Fun Planners can now customize the print out with a custom logo including Names, wedding bells a date or any graphic and as a final option we can even burn a CD with a copy of every picture taken so it can be posted on a web site, used in the wedding video or many other applications.

Creative Fundraising Helps Non-Profit Organizations Across Central Florida

In a time when fundraising is of essential need, Fun Planners is right there to help make central Florida Non-Profit organizations not only meet their goals, but many times exceed them.  We at Fun Planners wanted to share some of our unbelievable fundraising successes that we assisted with over the last few months.

Planning a fundraiser is easy when Fun Planners is involved with our expert strategic techniques and knowledgeable Event planning staff . We have raised millions of dollars over the past 10 years with a wide array of organizations using Poker Tournaments, Casinos, Carnivals, and Inflatable events. 

We thought out of the box on this one in which Fun Planners and Space Coast Early Intervention Center – (a premier non-profit center that supports the care and maximum development of young children challenged by disabilities) were able to accomplish a team building activity that surpassed anything we could have ever imagined.  Alongside SCEIC, the Brevard County businesses, and the Space Coast community, Fun Planners assisted in the “Corporate Challenge” Team Building event on June 13, 2009, raising $12,000.00 to aid these children and their families who need it the most in these hardest of times.

UCF in collaboration with Fun Planners accomplished an overwhelming attainment with the “Knight-Thon” event held on February 21, 2009.  This was a huge success and involved 350 participants that engulfed themselves into an overnight extravaganza of exciting events such as a dance competition, Carnival Games, Casino Games, Mechanical Bull, Rock Wall, Surf Machine, along with some Air Hockey, Foosball, and Pool tables.  This great fundraising idea from UCF and Fun Planners with the expertise planning of the Fun Planners staff surpassed the goals and netted a whopping $53,000.00 which was more than double the previous years contributions.  This $53,000.00 was raised in the name of the Children’s Miracle Network and was shared by two wonderful organizations – Arnold Palmer and Shands Children’s Hospital.    

If you or your organization needs assistance in planning a fundraising event please give Fun Planners a call and let us help you surpass your goals.

Planning A Company Picnic In This Economy

Published by funplanner under Company Picnic

Summer is almost here which means that beautiful weather is to be had all around. With the year almost half way done, summer time can be the perfect time to regroup with your company, and treat your employees to a nice company picnic. As many companies are struggling due to the economy, a company picnic is a great way to get employee morale up and motivated for the rest of the coming year.

You can plan and create a fun company picnic, even if you are on a tight budget. Here are some great tips for planning your picnic: Write a to-do list, and set your priorities. Determine who you are going to invite; employees only; significant others; family; clients etc. Choose a date. Once you have all of that set, establish your budget and find a location. Once you have done all of this….call Fun Planners. We can take care of the rest. We can help you get Fun Planner recommended caterers, set the menu, determine entertainment, as well as coordinate games, events, and team building activities.

Rock Star Teambuilding Challenge

Everyone Can Be A Rock Star!
 

If you told me a year ago that an XBOX 360 and a Wii were going to be a couple of the hottest items in the interactive games rental industry I would not have believed you.  Everyone wants to play either Wii sports or Rock Band at every event but of course if anyone in the Special Events Industry is going to rent a standard game we have to take it to the next level and create something bigger and more grandiose than ever imagined. Welcome to the Rock Star challenge! Just like Karaoke night…but 1,000x cooler!

Fun Planners has created a rocking program that creates an energetic show that involves every guest.  With a few simple “Rock Band” interactive game stations set up around the room or on the “Rock Star” stage with Truss, flashing lights, speakers, controllers that are REAL guitars, a REAL drum set with cymbals that work and props…  just a little something to make every performer feel like a real star.  The entire event is hosted by a Rocking MC Johnny LathumMr. Jason Logan” dressed in his Rock Star best playing music , music videos and sound effects in between bands.  The show climaxes with the roar of the crowd cheering on their favorite band waiting for the newest Rock Stars of America to me named.

Rock Star Challenge is a great teambuilding, student event, networking event, or  hospitality event. Everyone always gets involved and has a great time.  Any age group from teen to 60’s and any group type whether it be software writing  guys or energetic sales people, all get into the fun and excitement of the challenge.  Everyone gets into caricature too, with fun additions like airbrush tattoos, crazy nail art, fun props too.  And they can commemorate the event with a picture of their band on a “Rocking Stones” Magazine cover or their very own “World Tour” T-shirt.  There are songs to fit any demographic or era. And the staff and MC will make sure everyone has a Rocking Good Time!   If you are looking for an activity that will Rock your next event in Orlando, central Florida or beyond, I think you have found it!

Rocking out! april_2_118  photo1  img_0311
