Football inflater business

Why bother if you don't want to make more money on the side. Seems like a faff of a business.
Animal parties probably not so good a business idea. I mean, you can't paint their faces and they will just look at you oddly if you wear a pirate outfit.
I'm being altruisic - to help people with uninflated footballs to get them back on the field and playing with them again. Animal parties probably not so good a business idea. I mean, you can't paint their faces and they will just look at you oddly if you wear a pirate outfit.
Dogs love playing with footballs but often puncture them. I bought a tennis ball covered one for a Lab I walk regularly and he managed to puncture it quite quickly, though it is still partially inflated. I can see there is a need for this service.
My plan for the football I've got is to give it to a football mad nephew when I visit him next month.

As I said, you can laugh -but where could a person that receives an uninflated football in the post get it inflated? Nowhere it seems to me. I have a £60/month membership of a gym and asked there the other day. No, was the answer.
That's a gym that has fitness balls - so how do they get inflated? The reception staff haven't a clue either.
I'm now thinking of a UK wide series of football inflaters via a franchise
Any sort of 5 a side place near you?That's a gym that has fitness balls - so how do they get inflated? The reception staff haven't a clue either.

There's a kid's football training team that often posts on the local facebook page and I was hoping that they might offer to inflate my ball, but no. They probably don't read other posts, as theirs is usually an advert for kids to come down for training. No 5 a side that I know of, there is a walking football group that meet in town, but probably easier for me to wait and see if I can use the bycicle pump next week.I play at powerleague, and I bet they'd do it if you popped in and asked,
I was thinking of N. Flator ball services as a name for my new business enterprise

Thanks for the offer, but I need a needle and a pump. Besides the postage for you to send it to me would be more than the cost of me buying it myself. The whole point being I shouldn't have been sent an uninflated football in the first place - the difficulty in trying to get said football inflated is why I thought others might be in the same situation and I could help them if I bought a football inflater pump.
Thats what happens when you buy online.It is possible to damage a ball with a needle. I used to pump up 30 or 40 at a time using a 12v compressor. I think i had to bodge up something for the needle to fit. The ball should have been sold with a needle. I am sure ours were.
The answer is in the OPs 1st post.
Sell the idea to Timpson's. Give them a call tell them you have an idea, but would like 1p for each sale for life. Get a solicitor to draft a letter if they are agreeable. Get it signed, tell them the idea. Would work quite well IMO for an easy Timpson's add on service for their outlets.

Screwfix are giving away footballs with every order at the moment! But guess what, no inflation service.... ideal opportunity for you to stand outside your local branch offering your “mr blow job” service for 50p a shot!
I would've thought anyone shopping at Screwfix would possess the ability to inflate a ball, no?Gassing Station | Business | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
