SPECIAL DEAL TIL 5/1/08 We will give you a free 120x60 image ad until 5/1/08 to show you what type of response you will get from our members. Thank You For Your Interest in A-IRCO Advertising A-IRCO was created to serve a need in the moonwalk rental industry to help promote safe and professional practices, gather data on the growth of our industry, and provide benefits to small business owners as a group that would be difficult to achieve as a single small company. The AIRCO Team and forum is comprised of a dedicated group of professionals that share their knowledge with the others new to the industry and provides a connection and community for rental companies across the country. We are a destination and a resource for people planning to start a rental business as well as source of support for existing businesses. Plus, we have a lot of fun! We only accept advertising from companies who sell safe, commercial equipment. We cannot accept advertising from companies who produce equipment that reproduces listed characters that are unauthorized by the copyright owners. Our Goals: Data collection and benchmarking is our first task. How fast is the industry growing? How many accidents are there really? What is the average size of a moonwalk company? What’s the median revenue? What’s the failure rate for moonwalk businesses? These and many other questions are ones we plan to track and chart. Public awareness of safety issues. We use the A-irco.com website to inform the public of safe procedures for renting moonwalks. With the sensational coverage of accidents and dangerous setups, we feel it is critical to inform the public of the safe and proper use of inflatable amusements. This awareness will help in future legislative and regulation efforts. Promote the Inflatable Amusement Industry. People want to know what’s new, what’s hot, and what’s going to make them more money this season. Our goal is to bring them that information in a fun and exciting way, helping rental company owners succeed. The AIRCO Adviser email newsletter is a must read publication for over 2000 subscribers!
