Backyard Fun House (BFH)
A business that installs sport courts, putting greens, basketball hoops, and in-ground trampolines in residential backyards.
Why It Works
It caters to a growing market for home recreation and utilizes social media advertising effectively.
Revenue & Traction
Jobs quoted range between $10,000 and $100,000, but no revenue has been closed yet.
Founding Story
Originated from a personal project of building a sport court in the founder's backyard.
Business Playbook
Utilizing subcontractors to reduce costs and leveraging Facebook ads for customer acquisition.
Why this works now
Angi's contractor directory provides a targeted avenue for Backyard Fun House to connect with homeowners seeking recreational installations. The founder's initial move to advertise on local community Facebook groups has generated interest and inquiries, positioning the business to secure its first revenue. A significant risk for BFH is the capital required for inventory and equipment, as upfront costs can be substantial before any installations are completed.
Additional Information
The business has a long sales cycle and is currently in a season where demand is not at its peak.
