What Inflatable Manufacturers and Renters Need to Know
Have you ever stopped to think about how technological changes and social media can affect your business as an inflatable manufacturer or renter? If the answer is no, don’t worry—we’re here to help you understand how these changes can open incredible doors for your venture.
Why Are Technology and Social Media So Important?
Technology is constantly evolving, and that’s no surprise. But what many business owners still don’t realize is how these changes can be a huge opportunity for those in the inflatable market. Let’s explore some trends that could change the game for you.
1. Resistance to Change and the Opportunity for You
Gary Vaynerchuk, in his episode on the CREATIVO podcast, highlighted something crucial: humans tend to resist new technologies. This is something you’ve probably noticed when trying to convince a customer to try a new inflatable model or use a digital platform to rent a product.
But here’s the good part: those who embrace these changes first have a huge competitive advantage. If you’re willing to adapt and experiment with new tools, you can stand out in the market and attract more customers.
2. Artificial Intelligence and the Future of Marketing
Gary also talked about Artificial Intelligence (AI) and how it can be used to create virtual versions of people, as he did himself. While this may seem distant for your business, AI is already being used to automate tasks, create personalized marketing campaigns, and even assist with inventory management.
Imagine using AI to create personalized ads for different age groups, or to manage your social media more efficiently. These are just some of the possibilities that technology offers for your business.
How Social Media Is Changing the Game
Social media is no longer just a tool for sharing photos and videos. It has become one of the main marketing channels for businesses of all sizes. For inflatable manufacturers and renters, this means you have the opportunity to connect directly with your customers in a way that was previously impossible.
1. The Importance of Organic Content
Gary Vaynerchuk is a big advocate for organic content—that is, content that isn’t paid for but is created with the goal of engaging the audience. For your business, this could mean posting videos of inflatable toys in action, sharing testimonials from satisfied customers, or even creating tutorials on how to set up and use the products.
Organic content is one of the best ways to build trust with your customers and increase your online visibility.
2. The Era of Live Shopping
Another trend Gary mentioned was live shopping—a real-time online sales format, very popular on platforms like Instagram and Facebook. Imagine doing a live stream showing an inflatable toy in action, answering viewer questions, and offering exclusive discounts for those who buy during the live session.
This is an incredible way to engage your audience and boost sales, all at the same time.
What You Can Do Now to Prepare
Now that you know a little more about the future of technology and social media, it’s time to think about how to apply these ideas to your business. Here are some practical tips:
1. Invest in Attractive Visual Content
Social media is increasingly visual. Invest in good photos and videos of your products in action. Use tools like Canva to create posts and stories that grab your audience’s attention.
2. Experiment with AI to Automate Tasks
There are several AI tools that can help you manage your social media, create personalized ads, and even analyse your business performance. Check out tools like ChatGPT or Jasper to get started.
3. Do Live Streams and Engage Your Audience
Live streams are one of the best ways to connect with your customers. Show how inflatable toys work, answer questions, and encourage people to place orders during the live session.
Between the Lines
The Future Is Now
The future of technology and social media is here, and you have the opportunity to prepare for it. Be one of the first to adopt new tools and strategies, and you’ll see how your business can grow exponentially.
Remember: resistance to change can be your greatest ally. When you’re willing to experiment and adapt, the possibilities are endless. So, what are you waiting for? Let’s start transforming your business today!
