Discover How to Attract More Customers Using Smart, Free Strategies
If you manufacture inflatables and want to sell more without relying on expensive ads, this article is for you. I’ll reveal some methods to find interested customers, from children’s parties to corporate events, with no hidden costs.
Why Traditional Methods Don’t Work
Many manufacturers waste time on:
- Untargeted ads (which only attract the curious).
- Trade shows and events (when poorly executed, they’re costly with uncertain returns).
- Unprepared cold calling (inefficient and exhausting).
The solution? Use the internet to your advantage with smart prospecting techniques.
Step 1: Find Inflatable Rental Companies Using Advanced Searches
To sell your inflatables in bulk, target rental businesses actively looking for suppliers. Google’s search operators help uncover these leads effortlessly.
Example 1: Find Rental Companies on Google
Search for businesses listing inflatable rentals:
site:*.uk "inflatable hire" AND "supplier" OR "looking for new stock"
Why this works:
- Filters UK-based rental sites (
site:*.uk). - Catches businesses mentioning suppliers or needing stock.
Example 2: Find Startups on Facebook Groups
New rental businesses often ask for supplier advice in groups:
site:facebook.com "inflatable rental business" AND "recommend a supplier"
Result: Posts from owners seeking manufacturers like you.
Example 3: LinkedIn for B2B Partnerships
Target established rental companies:
site:linkedin.com "inflatable rental company" AND "UK" AND "wholesale"
Pro tip: Refine with "director" OR "owner" to contact decision-makers.
Step 2: Automate Contact Collection
Manually copying names and emails is slow. Solution:
- Copy the search results (Ctrl+A → Ctrl+C).
- Paste into DeepSeek Chat with the command:
“Extract from this list: Name, Email, Phone Number, Social Media Page, and Need (e.g., ‘children’s party’). Ignore duplicates.”
- Receive an organised table ready to use.
Step 3: Validate Emails (To Avoid Dead Ends)
Many contact emails may be outdated. How to filter?
- Use Hunter.io or Verifalia.com (free version) to check validity.
- MailTester.com or ContactOut.com confirms if the email exists before sending.
Step 4: Sell with Personalised Messages
A cold contact only works if it’s relevant. Examples:
Example 1: First Email Contact
Subject: “High-Quality Inflatable Supplier | Competitive Prices”
“Hello [Company Name],
I noticed you work with inflatable rentals and would like to introduce our factory.
🔹 Benefits of working with us:
- Durable materials (650g/m² PVC).

Could we schedule a call to discuss how we can help expand your catalogue?

Example 2: LinkedIn Message

🔥 Key highlights:
- Volume pricing (discounts for large orders).
- 2-year warranty against defects.
If you’re interested in expanding your stock with durable products, would you be open to a chat?

Example 3: Cold Call Script
*”Good morning, [Name]. This is [Your Name] from [Your Company], a supplier of inflatables for rental businesses.
Quick question: How do you currently manage restocking your inventory?
(Listen to the response and tailor your offer.)
