When you want to create memorable moments, you probably want to hire some professionals to give it that extra sparkle. But what should you be looking for in a kids party supplier? We have hundreds of suppliers on Kids Party Finder from all across the country and that can be understandably overwhelming. So, how do you choose? Well, we always tell our suppliers to make a great listing if they want parents like you to get in touch. Here’s what we think that looks like:
Great photos and videos
Any reputable supplier will be proud to show off their kit and share successful events from previous engagements. Look for high-resolution photos that show what you’ll be getting for the hire price. That might be a bouncy castle, face painting or dress-up supplies; regardless, you’ll want to get a good look at what they have. Don’t forget that you can check their social media pages or website for even more details and reviews from parents who have hired them before.
A detailed bio
A great supplier will love talking about what it is they do. They’ll have a bio that’s easy to read and doesn’t make you struggle with large blocks of text. They’ll think about what’s popular and make sure to include important terms you might be searching for like Paw Patrol, Frozen, Moana, Peppa Pig, Barbie, Spiderman, Gaming, Slime, Sleepover Party, Bouncy Castle and similar.
A social community
On their Kids Party Finder listing, they’ll have working links to their social media feeds and those will be active and full of more exciting details about their products or services. Don’t be afraid to check out their Instagram, TikTok or Facebook page for more examples of their work in your local area. This is also a great way to find out what new offers they might have, any seasonal promotions or sales going on and to learn of any fresh services they are thinking of providing in the future. You might even chat with other parents in the comments who follow them as well for additional perspectives.
Quick responses
Not only will their service locations be clearly marked (we allow them to enter up to 3 counties with 10 towns each), but they’ll also be easy to contact. Each listing has several prompts for you to get in touch, so we always ask our suppliers to make sure their phone number and email address are correct. When you have a question, a great kids party supplier will be eager to get back to you. You won’t have to wait more than a couple of business days to hear back and they’ll answer your questions in detail. For us, that’s a good sign they’re going to be a delight to work with.
