From event and party rentals to heavy construction equipment, the rental industry is rapidly booming in 2023. But one market in particular stands out with impressive growth and potential for profit: the event/party rental sector. According to research, the Global Party Supply Rental Market is projected to reach a whopping USD 37.54 billion by 2030.</div> <div>&nbsp; &nbsp; Party rental businesses enjoy a 10-15% profit margin for the inventory they rent out, which is higher than the average profit netted from average retail stores. Why? Rental businesses typically have lower overhead costs than traditional retail businesses. They don&rsquo;t need to invest heavily in maintaining a physical storefront, which can be expensive in terms of rent, utilities, and staffing. Instead, they can operate from a warehouse or storage space, reducing fixed expenses.</div> <div>&nbsp; &nbsp; So, is it worth starting a party rental business? It&rsquo;s a resounding &ndash; maybe. Opening a small business is no joke; it demands dedication and some serious effort to get your business up and running. However, if you&rsquo;re prepared to put in the hard work and are committed to making smart business decisions, then a rental business can present a valuable and profitable opportunity.</div> <div>&nbsp; &nbsp;This article explores the five crucial steps you MUST follow when establishing your party rental business.</div></p> 4/15/2025 1:19:17 AM https://www.tapgoods.com/pro/blog/5-crucial-steps-for-starting-an-event-rental-business-in-2023/ Reminder: New Staff Contact Information, New Location, New Look https://www.naylornetwork.com/ria-nwl/articles/index-v4.asp?aid=875270&issueID=100662 <p><strong style="font-size:10px;"><a href=https://www.naylornetwork.com/ria-eJournal2024/newsletter.asp?issueID=100662>April 2025</a> -- <em>CRA UPDATE</em></strong><br /><div>&nbsp;</div> <div>Listed below is the contact information for CRA's staff and CRA's new address.</div> <div>&nbsp; &nbsp; Contact Jeff, Katie, and Connie with questions or ideas for the continued growth of our association.&nbsp;Visit the CRA website at www.calrental.org and see the opportunities available to help sustain and grow your business ...

From event and party rentals to heavy construction equipment, the rental industry is rapidly booming in 2023. But one market in particular stands out with impressive growth and potential for profit: the event/party rental sector. According to research, the Global Party Supply Rental Market is projected to reach a whopping USD 37.54 billion by 2030.</div> <div>&nbsp; &nbsp; Party rental businesses enjoy a 10-15% profit margin for the inventory they rent out, which is higher than the average profit netted from average retail stores. Why? Rental businesses typically have lower overhead costs than traditional retail businesses. They don&rsquo;t need to invest heavily in maintaining a physical storefront, which can be expensive in terms of rent, utilities, and staffing. Instead, they can operate from a warehouse or storage space, reducing fixed expenses.</div> <div>&nbsp; &nbsp; So, is it worth starting a party rental business? It&rsquo;s a resounding &ndash; maybe. Opening a small business is no joke; it demands dedication and some serious effort to get your business up and running. However, if you&rsquo;re prepared to put in the hard work and are committed to making smart business decisions, then a rental business can present a valuable and profitable opportunity.</div> <div>&nbsp; &nbsp;This article explores the five crucial steps you MUST follow when establishing your party rental business.</div></p> 3/17/2025 7:13:51 PM https://www.tapgoods.com/pro/blog/5-crucial-steps-for-starting-an-event-rental-business-in-2023/ Reminder: New Staff Contact Information, New Location, New Look https://www.naylornetwork.com/ria-nwl/articles/index-v4.asp?aid=871132&issueID=100661 <p><strong style="font-size:10px;"><a href=https://www.naylornetwork.com/ria-eJournal2024/newsletter.asp?issueID=100661>March 2025</a> -- <em>CRA UPDATE</em></strong><br /><div>&nbsp;</div> <div>Listed below is the contact information for CRA's staff and CRA's new address.</div> <div>&nbsp; &nbsp; Contact Jeff, Katie, and Connie with questions or ideas for the continued growth of our association.&nbsp;Visit the CRA website at www.calrental.org and see the opportunities available to help sustain and grow your business ...

This funding mechanism, which involves external investors financing litigation in exchange for a share of the proceeds, has been a growing concern for insurers due to its potential to drive up litigation costs and distort the legal system.</div> <div>&nbsp;</div> <div><strong>The Growing Concern:</strong> <br />Third-party litigation funding has seen a surge in recent years, particularly in intellectual property and commercial litigation. This trend has raised alarms within the insurance industry, as it can lead to increased litigation costs, prolonged legal battles, and inflated settlement demands. Insurers argue that TPLF introduces a profit motive that can overshadow the pursuit of truth and justice, ultimately affecting the fairness of the legal system.</div></p> 2/10/2025 9:04:28 AM https://www.naylornetwork.com/ria-nwl/articles/index-v4.asp?aid=865797&amp;issueID=100660 Thank You to our 2025 Rental Rally Tradeshow Sponsors and Exhibitors! https://www.calrental.org/exhibitorlist2025 <p><strong style="font-size:10px;"><a href=https://www.naylornetwork.com/ria-eJournal2024/newsletter.asp?issueID=100660>February 2025</a> -- <em>Vendor News</em></strong><br /><div>&nbsp;</div> <div>CRA&rsquo;s 2025 Equipment and Party Rental Tradeshow was held January 12&ndash;15, 2025, at the South Point Casino Hotel &amp; Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Innovation in product offerings and digital transformation are anticipated to influence the market's growth as it matures. Demand is probably going to be driven by growing interest in eco-friendly and sustainable solutions, particularly in industries like manufacturing and healthcare. Furthermore, France's aging population and declining labor force might encourage automation and AI-powered technology in a variety of sectors. Rising disposable incomes and consumer preferences for quality over quantity are expected to drive a shift in sales ratios toward higher-value, premium products. Growth prospects will be further improved by government programs encouraging industry modernization and international trade alliances.

According to a study by Travelers Insurance, half of all U.S. workers have at least one chronic condition.

From event and party rentals to heavy construction equipment, the rental industry is rapidly booming in 2023. But one market in particular stands out with impressive growth and potential for profit: the event/party rental sector. According to research, the Global Party Supply Rental Market is projected to reach a whopping USD 37.54 billion by 2030.</div> <div>&nbsp; &nbsp; Party rental businesses enjoy a 10-15% profit margin for the inventory they rent out, which is higher than the average profit netted from average retail stores. Why? Rental businesses typically have lower overhead costs than traditional retail businesses. They don&rsquo;t need to invest heavily in maintaining a physical storefront, which can be expensive in terms of rent, utilities, and staffing. Instead, they can operate from a warehouse or storage space, reducing fixed expenses.</div> <div>&nbsp; &nbsp; So, is it worth starting a party rental business? It&rsquo;s a resounding &ndash; maybe. Opening a small business is no joke; it demands dedication and some serious effort to get your business up and running. However, if you&rsquo;re prepared to put in the hard work and are committed to making smart business decisions, then a rental business can present a valuable and profitable opportunity.</div> <div>&nbsp; &nbsp;This article explores the five crucial steps you MUST follow when establishing your party rental business.</div></p> 2/9/2025 9:07:06 PM https://www.tapgoods.com/pro/blog/5-crucial-steps-for-starting-an-event-rental-business-in-2023/ Reminder: New Staff Contact Information, New Location, New Look https://www.naylornetwork.com/ria-nwl/articles/index-v4.asp?aid=865722&issueID=100659 <p><strong style="font-size:10px;"><a href=https://www.naylornetwork.com/ria-eJournal2024/newsletter.asp?issueID=100659>January 2025</a> -- <em>CRA UPDATE</em></strong><br /><div>&nbsp;</div> <div>Listed below is the contact information for CRA's staff and CRA's new address.</div> <div>&nbsp; &nbsp; Contact Jeff, Katie, and Connie with questions or ideas for the continued growth of our association.&nbsp;Visit the CRA website at www.calrental.org and see the opportunities available to help sustain and grow your business ...

Employee chronic health conditions are a major driver of those substantial workers&rsquo; comp costs. According to a study by Travelers Insurance, half of all U.S. workers have at least one chronic condition. Treating an injured worker with an underlying chronic condition costs employers twice as much as treating one without. Yet employers often underestimate the influence employee wellness programs can have on injury rates and workers&rsquo; comp claims.</div></p> 12/18/2024 8:18:06 PM https://www.naylornetwork.com/ria-nwl/articles/index-v4.asp?aid=859805&amp;issueID=100658 MTA Distributors Joins 2025 Rental Rally Tradeshow Exhibitors https://www.mtadistributors.com/ <p><strong style="font-size:10px;"><a href=https://www.naylornetwork.com/ria-eJournal2024/newsletter.asp?issueID=100658>December 2024</a> -- <em>Vendor News</em></strong><br /><div><em>General Tool, Light Construction, Party &amp; Event.</em> MTA Distributors supply professional equipment, parts, and accessories for party, construction, and lawn &amp; garden rental companies.

This growth is tied to the introduction of expensive, brand-name migraine treatments not listed in the state&rsquo;s Medical Treatment Utilization Schedule (MTUS) Formulary. Migraines, often marked by severe headaches, nausea, and light sensitivity, are more common among women and typically diagnosed through patient symptoms rather than tests. In some cases, workplace factors like stress or injuries can trigger migraines, but lifestyle changes can also mitigate symptoms. Despite migraines not being a frequent work-related injury, the use of migraine drugs in workers&rsquo; compensation has surged, driven by newer, high-cost treatments.</div></p> 12/18/2024 11:12:29 PM https://www.naylornetwork.com/ria-nwl/articles/index-v4.asp?aid=859838&amp;issueID=100658 <br />Apex Rentals Joins Exhibitors for CRA's 2025 Rental Rally Tradeshow https://www.apexhesperiarentals.com/ <p><strong style="font-size:10px;"><a href=https://www.naylornetwork.com/ria-eJournal2024/newsletter.asp?issueID=100658>December 2024</a> -- <em>Vendor News</em></strong><br /><div><em>Kubota Compact Construction Equipment.</em> Since 1982, the Leis family has been dedicated to bringing the highest standard of service and exceptional quality in rental equipment.

But when stressful situations go unresolved, the body is kept in a constant state of activation, which increases the rate of wear and tear to biological systems. Ultimately, fatigue or damage results, and the ability of the body to repair and defend itself can become seriously compromised. As a result, the risk of injury or disease escalates. We all know that continuous exposure to stress damages health.

According to a study by Travelers Insurance, half of all U.S. workers have at least one chronic condition.

From event and party rentals to heavy construction equipment, the rental industry is rapidly booming in 2023.

According to research, the Global Party Supply Rental Market is projected to reach a whopping USD 37.54 billion by 2030.</div> <div>&nbsp; &nbsp; Party rental businesses enjoy a 10-15% profit margin for the inventory they rent out, which is higher than the average profit netted from average retail stores.
