Cold Weather? No Problem: How Hoop Trailer Owners Make Money Year-Round

Jul 14

One of the most common questions we hear from future Hoop Trailer owners is:
“What happens when the weather turns cold?”

If you live in a city where winters are chilly—or even snowy—you might think your business would slow down once the temperature drops. The good news is, a Hoop Trailer can stay profitable year-round when you know how to adapt.

Here’s how our owners keep their calendars full, even in the colder months, while still enjoying a flexible and profitable business.

Long-Term Brewery Partnerships

Breweries are one of the best year-round clients for Hoop Trailer owners. Many breweries set up heated outdoor spaces or covered patios during fall and winter and look for attractions that can bring in customers during slower seasons.

Some Hoop Trailer owners lock in 2–4 month contracts with breweries, charging $3,000 to $4,000 per month for the trailer to stay onsite. Guests pay the brewery to play, making it a win-win for everyone: the brewery boosts traffic, you earn steady income, and players keep coming back for repeat games.

Indoor Events Keep Things Warm

Many community spaces, businesses, and venues host indoor events during colder months, and a Hoop Trailer is built to work just as well indoors. Think:

Corporate team-building events inside large facilities
School fundraisers or carnivals in gymnasiums
Airport hangars or warehouses for large private events

With portable heaters available for open indoor spaces, Hoop Trailers stay comfortable for players no matter the temperature.

Focus on High-Paying Clients in Winter

Colder months are also when corporate clients and schools ramp up event spending—holiday parties, employee appreciation events, winter fundraisers, and New Year kickoffs all need engaging activities. These events often pay premium rates and can fill your winter calendar even when outdoor festivals slow down.

Pairing these high-value bookings with a few brewery contracts can keep income strong during the entire off-season.

Why Winter Doesn’t Slow You Down

Unlike inflatables or seasonal attractions, a Hoop Trailer isn’t tied to the weather. It’s designed to operate in all seasons, indoors or out, giving you flexibility that other event rentals can’t match.

And since many people assume event businesses shut down in the winter, operators who stay active can capture more market share and build relationships with repeat clients before spring and summer rush back.

Keep Your Business Earning All Year

With a little strategy—focusing on breweries, indoor events, and corporate clients—you can keep your Hoop Trailer booked and profitable, no matter how cold it gets outside. For owners, this means a steady, predictable income stream even in the slow months, and a big head start when warmer weather returns.

If you’re thinking about bringing a Hoop Trailer to your city, now is the time to get started so you can lock in clients for fall and winter—and start earning right away.
