How to Scale a Single Hoop Trailer into a $100K+ Business
Owning a Hoop Trailer is a simple way to start earning extra income, but it can also become much more than a side hustle. With the right strategy, a single trailer can generate six-figure revenue—and for those looking to grow even faster, expanding into multiple trailers or territories can turn this into a full-time business.
Whether you’re starting part-time or ready to build a larger operation, here’s how to scale your Hoop Trailer into a $100K+ business.
Step 1: Maximize Your Weekend Bookings
Most Hoop Trailer owners charge $400 for a four-hour rental, plus $100/hour for extra time. During peak seasons, it’s common to book 2–4 events per weekend, generating $1,500 to $2,500 in revenue in just two days.
By targeting the most profitable clients—breweries, schools, community events, and corporate parties—you can keep your schedule full and maximize each trailer’s earning potential. Many operators also bundle multiple events in one day (for example, a school fundraiser in the morning and a brewery event at night) to squeeze more value from every weekend.
Step 2: Build Recurring and Long-Term Clients
While one-off bookings are great, recurring clients are where your income stabilizes. Breweries often book Hoop Trailers for multiple weekends, schools bring them back for annual fundraisers, and corporate clients may schedule quarterly events.
To land these steady contracts:
Offer multi-event packages at slightly discounted rates to secure repeat business.
Build relationships with local organizations and stay top of mind for their yearly events.
Promote your trailer on social media, tagging clients so they share your content and bring more referrals.
Securing even 2–3 recurring clients can turn your calendar into a predictable income stream.
Step 3: Expand Your Reach
Once your first trailer is fully booked, the next step is to grow your territory. There are two main ways to do it:
Add a Second Trailer – Double your weekend capacity and cover multiple events at the same time.
Expand into Nearby Cities – If your territory is maxed out, operating in a neighboring city can unlock new demand without competing with yourself.
Many operators who start as part-time owners eventually grow into multi-trailer businesses, earning six figures annually while building a recognizable local brand.
Step 4: Keep Your Overhead Low
One of the biggest advantages of a Hoop Trailer is that overhead is minimal. You don’t need a storefront, employees, or complex equipment. Most owners store the trailer at home, handle transportation themselves, and keep insurance and licensing costs low.
This means your income scales quickly, without getting eaten up by expenses.
Step 5: Leverage Social Media and Local Marketing
Social media is a free and powerful tool for driving bookings. Every event is a chance to capture content:
Post videos of guests competing on Instagram and Facebook.
Tag breweries, schools, and companies you work with to get shared exposure.
Run small, targeted ads for busy seasons like summer and fall to fill your calendar.
Pairing a strong online presence with word-of-mouth referrals will help your business grow faster than traditional advertising ever could.
Turn a Trailer into a Business That Works for You
Scaling to six figures doesn’t require quitting your day job or hiring a big team. With smart scheduling, recurring clients, and the option to add additional trailers, you can build a profitable, flexible business that fits your lifestyle and grows at your pace.
