3 Creative Ways to Boost Revenue with Skate Helper
For over 18 years, we’ve been in business, learning invaluable lessons from our customers. One thing stands out: the Skate Helper is more than just a skating aid—it’s a versatile tool that can generate additional revenue for ice rinks. Whether you manage a community arena or a private facility, here are three proven strategies to maximize your investment in Skate Helpers while enhancing the skating experience.
Why Skate Helper Matters
The Skate Helper transforms ice skating for beginners, families, and adults returning to the rink. Made of durable, molded plastic and proudly manufactured in the USA, these long-lasting skating aids provide balance and confidence. But beyond supporting skaters, they offer creative opportunities to grow your business. Let’s dive into the top three ways to turn Skate Helpers into a revenue stream.
1. Partner with Local Businesses for Sponsorships
Looking for funding to bring Skate Helpers to your rink? Many of our customers have successfully partnered with community businesses. Here’s how it works:
- Reach out to local companies and invite them to sponsor a Skate Helper or two.
- In exchange, feature their logo on the front of the Skate Helper as a donation to the rink.
This win-win strategy provides businesses with affordable advertising while covering your costs. It’s a smart, community-driven way to get Skate Helpers into your facility without breaking the bank.
2. Rent Out Skate Helpers for Profit
Why not let Skate Helpers pay for themselves? Many ice arenas—especially private rinks—purchase Skate Helpers and rent them out to customers. Here’s the breakdown:
- Rental fees typically range from $5.00 to $10.00 for a 45-minute session.
- Add numbers to the front of each Skate Helper for easy tracking.
- Most rinks recoup their investment within one or two seasons.
This approach not only boosts revenue but also makes skating accessible to more visitors, keeping your rink busy and profitable.
3. Launch New Programs with Skate Helpers
Skate Helpers aren’t just tools—they’re the foundation for exciting new programs. Expand your offerings and attract diverse skaters with these ideas:
- Senior Skate: A program for seniors returning to skating who need extra balance support.
- Adaptive Skating: Tailored sessions for individuals with balance challenges or autism.
- Adult Learn-to-Skate: Classes for grown-ups eager to master skating with confidence.
These programs tap into underserved markets, drawing in new customers and creating a steady income stream—all thanks to the versatility of Skate Helpers.
