Summer Event Goldmine: How a Hoop Trailer Can Earn You $2,000+ Every Weekend

Jun 2

Summer is the busiest—and most profitable—season for event rentals. From brewery patios and school fundraisers to music festivals and backyard parties, people are out looking for ways to make their gatherings more fun and memorable. Event planners and businesses are willing to pay top dollar for attractions that keep guests engaged and coming back for more.

This is where a Hoop Trailer shines. Our mobile arcade basketball trailers are crowd magnets, designed to draw attention, entertain, and generate buzz. For operators, that means steady bookings, premium rental rates, and a business model that can bring in $2,000 or more every weekend—often while working just a few hours.

Here’s how a Hoop Trailer can turn summer events into your personal goldmine—and why this might be the best side hustle (or full-time business) you’ll ever start.

Why Summer is Prime Time for Event Rentals

Warmer months are peak season for festivals, corporate picnics, brewery events, school fundraisers, and backyard parties. These gatherings all have one thing in common: they need fun, interactive entertainment that appeals to both kids and adults.

Traditional options like bouncy houses, balloon arches, or simple game rentals have been overdone. They don’t keep guests engaged for long, they aren’t as shareable on social media, and they often come with safety or weather issues.

A Hoop Trailer, on the other hand, is an instant hit. Each trailer brings four professional-grade arcade basketball hoops to the event, set up and ready to play in minutes. Guests can compete, cheer each other on, and create the kind of energy every event planner is looking for. Plus, the setup looks great in photos and videos, which means free social media exposure for the event—and for you.

How Hoop Trailer Owners Make $2,000+ Per Weekend

A single Hoop Trailer books for around $400 for a four-hour rental, with the option to charge $100 per additional hour. Many summer events run longer than four hours, and some festivals, schools, and breweries book trailers for full weekends.

Here’s what a typical weekend can look like:

Saturday: Two events (a school fundraiser in the morning, a brewery event in the evening) – $800 to $1,200 total
Sunday: Corporate picnic or private party – $400 to $800

That’s $1,200 to $2,000+ per weekend, often for less than 12 hours of actual work. For many operators, this income covers their trailer payment, gas, and storage—with plenty left over as profit. And with many events paying deposits up front, cash flow is strong right out of the gate.

For those who want to scale, adding a second trailer or expanding into a neighboring city can quickly turn this into a six-figure annual business.

Why Hoop Trailer Beats the Competition (Especially in Summer)

If you’ve looked at other event rental opportunities, you’ve likely considered bouncy houses, game trucks, balloon décor, or golf simulators. Here’s why Hoop Trailer comes out on top:

Weather-Friendly: Bouncy houses are tough in high winds and hot weather. Hoop Trailers can operate indoors or outdoors and hold up well in summer heat.
Low Overhead: No need for large crews, storage facilities, or complex setups. One person can manage setup and breakdown easily.
High Demand: People of all ages love arcade basketball. It works for breweries, schools, churches, corporate events, and more.
Scalable & Resellable: Your trailer retains value and can be sold or licensed if you want to grow—or cash out.
Unique Factor: Hoop Trailers are still rare. Being one of the few in your area gives you a competitive advantage over saturated markets like inflatables or party rentals.

Who Books a Hoop Trailer in Summer?

The beauty of this business is the wide variety of clients who want to rent your trailer. Some of the biggest summer money-makers include:

Breweries & Wineries: Many book Hoop Trailers for weekend entertainment to keep patrons longer and increase sales.
Festivals & Fairs: Perfect for attracting crowds and offering paid or ticketed experiences.
Corporate Events: Companies love interactive attractions for employee appreciation days and team-building events.
Schools & Fundraisers: A Hoop Trailer draws big crowds for end-of-year parties, summer camps, and community fundraisers.
Private Parties: Backyard birthdays, graduation parties, and block parties are huge in summer.

By targeting these markets, most Hoop Trailer owners fill their calendars with profitable events while still enjoying flexibility.

You Don’t Need Business Experience to Succeed

Many people hesitate to start a side hustle because they think they need prior experience, business connections, or a massive budget. Hoop Trailer was built specifically to eliminate those barriers.

When you become a Hoop Trailer owner, we provide everything you need to start strong:

Branded, wrapped trailer with four arcade hoops
Website, domain, and Google Business listing optimized for your local market
Event pricing templates, marketing tips, and booking guidance
Support from a growing network of operators across 23+ cities

Your focus is simple: market your business locally, book events, and show up to deliver the fun. No complicated tech, no huge learning curve, and no staff to manage.

Why Now is the Time to Get Started

We’re on track to grow from 23 active locations to 100 by 2027. That means territories are going fast, and summer is the best time to hit the ground running. If you lock in your city now, you can start booking events for late summer and fall while building a steady client base for next year.

Turn Summer Into Your Most Profitable Season Yet

If you’re ready to make extra income, create memorable experiences for your community, and build a business that fits your lifestyle, a Hoop Trailer is your best opportunity to do it.

You don’t need a massive investment, years of experience, or a complicated business plan. You just need the right mindset—and a trailer that everyone will want at their next event.
