We introduced this tool at IAAPA 2006 last November and now it’s delivering as we promised it
would. If you haven’t taken advantage of the free 360° 3D images for your web site, now is the

free with each inflatable Ninja Jump product you purchase. Your sales team will be delighted

bottom line so get on board!

2. Speaking of hot, you will find a brand new department on our brand new web site. Appropriately
enough, we call it “Hot Deals” and we dedicate it to our beloved bargain hunters. Ninja Jump
has four basic types of specials; Licensed Promotions, Seasonal Promotions, Blow Outs and
Preferred Customer Discounts and Packages. So if you’re looking for an especially ‘hot deal’ keep
you eye on the Hot Deals page.
Just in time for the pre-season, spring stock up, Ninja Jump has increased its ‘Ready-to-ship’
inventory. We have $5M worth of inventory ready to ship. Place your order and within 48 hours
after processing your payment your unit will be on its way to your facility and ready to make you
money the following weekend. Why wait for the turnaround time when you can begin generating

real-time inventory, if that product is in stock and ready to ship, you will see the text, “In

The second installment of the Money Matters series Financing Your New or Existing
Business is here. “What Is Your Entrepreneurial Profile?” helps you understand who you are,
because, after all, you are who the investor or angel or bank is investing in. There’s a helpful
questionnaire that will guide you through the process and help you address many of the same
issues you need to discuss in your company’s business plan. Knowing who you are as an
entrepreneur will help you organize yourself and better present your business opportunity to an
investor.
Opening an indoor child’s business has become one of the hottest business opportunities out
there. According to Franchise for Sale, a leader in the online franchise advertising industry,
indoor facilities - and especially those based around inflatable play attractions - are the second
most sought after business opportunity, bested only by the Subway franchise. In this issue, we
are featuring a very unique business opportunity. The Hero’s Birthday Experience is a turnkey
children's business opportunity whose mission it is to make the world a better place one child,
one family, one community at a time. Instead of a franchise, Hero’s offers a more flexible
option, a license. Read their recent press release here!
One of the most critical components to your indoor or outdoor business is insurance. Liability
insurance can represent a significant portion of your operating expenses. If you have been
following along in the last few issues of the Ninja News, you may have gotten wind of a new
insurance solution called the Inflatable Industry Purchasing Group. This program should be
available to you through your current provider or you can participate in the program through CSI
Insurance Agency. The Inflatable Industry Purchasing Group is a non-profit, strategic alliance
that leverages the combined purchasing power and best practices in the inflatable industry. That
is to say, that participation in the IIPG plan allows you to aggregate your buying power by
creating a large group of liability insurance buyers. Like buying in volume, buying in a large
aggregate group allows you to buy at a significant discount. We asked John Carr to keep us
posted on developments of this new program.
The Licensor Updates department reminds you about upcoming movies such as “Shrek the
Third”, “Pirates of the Caribbean: The World’s End” and the “Teenage Ninja Mutant Turtles”
movie! Even though TNMT: Raising Shell hit the theatres March 23rd
, you have plenty of time to
capitalize on these ‘heroes on the half shell’. Statistics show that while rental companies receive
requests from their customers for our licensed inflatables beginning before the opening of the
movie, the number of requests peak around 2 months after opening day. So get stocked up
now!
As you can see, there is lots of new information to feast on so bon apetit’!
