The Future of Event Rentals: Why Hoop Trailers Will Dominate the Next 5 Years
The event rental industry is evolving fast. People want more than simple setups or passive entertainment—they’re looking for interactive, shareable experiences that make their events stand out. Traditional rentals like basic décor or inflatables still have their place, but the demand is shifting toward attractions that draw crowds, create energy, and give guests something they can share on social media.
That’s exactly why Hoop Trailer is growing so quickly—and why our mobile arcade basketball trailers are positioned to dominate the event rental space over the next five years.
With 23 locations already operating and a goal of 100 by 2027, here’s why Hoop Trailer is at the forefront of where the industry is headed—and why now is the perfect time to secure your city.
Why Event Hosts Are Craving Interactive Experiences
Over the past few years, events have changed. Guests aren’t satisfied with just music and drinks—they want activities they can participate in, compete with friends, and capture for Instagram or TikTok.
Hoop Trailers deliver exactly that:
Four arcade basketball hoops that bring instant energy to any event.
A competitive element that keeps guests engaged and coming back for more.
A visual centerpiece that makes for shareable photos and videos—boosting the event’s exposure (and your marketing for free).
This trend isn’t slowing down. Interactive, mobile attractions like Hoop Trailer are quickly becoming must-haves for breweries, schools, corporate events, and private parties.
The Business Model That Scales With Demand
Beyond being in-demand, Hoop Trailer works as a business because it’s simple to run and easy to scale. Most operators:
Charge $400 for a four-hour rental, plus $100/hour for additional time.
Book 2–4 events per weekend, generating $1,500 to $2,500 in revenue while working part-time hours.
Build relationships with recurring clients like breweries, schools, and corporate planners, turning one-time bookings into steady contracts.
And because each trailer is a tangible, branded asset, you’re not just selling your time—you’re building a business you can grow, scale, or even sell down the line.
Why the Next 5 Years Are Crucial
The demand for interactive event entertainment is only going to rise. Breweries, corporate teams, and schools are investing more in experiences to attract and retain people. At the same time, territories for Hoop Trailer are filling fast—with exclusive rights meaning only one operator per city.
Getting in early means:
Owning your market before it’s gone (no competition from other Hoop Trailers in your area).
Building brand recognition as the go-to mobile basketball experience in your city.
Being positioned for growth as the industry shifts even more toward interactive rentals.
By 2027, when Hoop Trailer hits its goal of 100 locations, the operators who got in early will already have a stronghold in their markets—and the flexibility to expand into neighboring cities or add more trailers.
