Ok, so you have a WordPress website and now you are among the elites in the internet world, congratulations!! It seems every new WordPress owner goes a bit tad crazy in racking up on Plugins (Extra feature to make your site do diffrent things). Before you go and pile on tons of plugins keep in mind your function of your website. You don’t need to add extra features you don’t need or help your visitors. Also, keep in mind the risk of installing a plugin that outdated or a plugin with no actual support. Low quality plugin can also hurt or crash your website. Also keep in mind that just because a plugin was created for WordPress it doesn’t mean it will work well with your wordpress website! There’s a lot of low quality risky plugins out there just waiting to get downloaded.

So know what you want and what you want it to do on your website before you start testing different plugins on your site. When we create websites for the Bounce House Industry, we always add the best plugins that will enhance your website and pleases the Search engines and your potential customers.

How to tell if you have a plugin issue?

If your site crashes instanly, than you know that plugin was the issue, but if you are having issues with your drag and drop feature, you may have a faulty plugin causing this issue. The more plugins you have piled on, the more difficult it will be to determine the source of conflicting plugin. You can spend ours looking for the offending plugin, so keep this in mind.

You will also see this warning before you download a plugin. This is a featured the WordPress has to alert you! Pay attention the the warning, don’t get temped with the plugin feature. It can crash your website!

In addition, the more plugins you have the slower your website will load for your potential customers. This will force you to lose customers if they have to wait or freezes their computer, so think before you activate!

What is success in the Bounce House industry? Is it the amount of units we have or how new our delivery vehicles looks? or is it how big our storage warehouse is? Success in this industry comes in many different forms. For some it can simply mean by how many more units they add to their inventory…

Success to me means the ability to control my Bounce House Business without doing any physical labor and yet still being able to continue to add money into the business bank account. That’s what success means to me.

When I entered in this industry late 2005, I knew what I wanted and how I was going to get there. I’ve worked long hours figuring what worked in this industry and what didn’t although I had a strong marketing experience.

I’ve been through many ups and downs, but I maintain focus and made sure nothing stop me from reaching my goals. I also learned in this industry that any wrong decision can set you back if you are not careful. What I mean by that is that you as a business owner, must make the right calls. There’s no room for testing on what works.

Success in this industry can be easy if you stick with a well thought out plan. Over the years, I met hundreds of Bounce House Business owners and from those hundreds, I can honestly say 3 were heading in the right direction while the other 93% were destroying their own business by the choices they continue to make. I live to learn and make the right choices to succeed with my bounce house business. I’ve have never in my life came across an industry who make choices based on money value. Don’t get me wrong, I like to save a buck or two once in a while, but to sacrifice quality just to save a buck is just plain nuts! This industry thinks in a weird way and it’s no wonder many fail in this industry.

I’m so happy I’ve managed to show a few companies how to really succeed in this industry without sacrificing quality in order for them to make money in this industry.

What does success means to you?

Where do I start? as you may have noticed, we at Bounce House Marketing have been doing a lot of changes. We have added WordPress into our arsenal of websites. We also have new staff members with a lot of knowledge on WordPress. We choosen this route because people have always asked us “Do you create website that the owner can make their own changes?” At the time, the answer was always, no or “If you know a bit of HTML, you’ll have no problem” quess what? They did have problems and we knew we had to make some drastic changes so we can help those clients and at last we did!

Well, that’s all for now and we hope you have a great Season!!
