80% of all laser tag businesses are mobile.
Starting a Mobile Laser Tag Business just makes sense.
Mobile Laser Tag is a business model where you take your laser tag equipment to an offsite location. The operator facilitates a series of small skirmish battles over a set period. The average mobile laser tag operation generates between $250-$500 for a two-hour event.
The big advantage of starting a mobile laser tag business is the much lower capital investment. If you have a phone, a car, and the right laser tag equipment – you are in business! Obviously, there are a few other things you will have to do. Depending on the state and area you are in, you will probably need to get a Tax ID for sales tax. If you are going to be hiring employees, you will want a Federal Employee Identification Number. (FEIN or EIN)
Additionally, it is a good idea to secure liability insurance, and you may even want coverage on your equipment as well. Then, of course, a well-made web page (see an example here!) and Social Media Campaign will help drive business to your door. One of the advantages of starting your Mobile Laser Tag Business through Elite Laser Tag is that we know all the “ins and outs” of this model. If you need help finding insurance, we have people that we work with. Need a web page created? We have someone for that too. Need online reservations and waivers? No problem! We have you covered.
Some of our largest facility customers started their laser tag business with just a few laser taggers and a mobile laser tag business model.
Pickup/Dropoff Parties
Many of our mobile customers also offer a drop-off or pick up mobile laser tag option. Our equipment so intuitive, with just a few minutes of training, anyone can take the guns and start playing laser tag.
This model means you don’t even have to have the labor cost and you get to provide an experience in laser tag that people can enjoy in their back yard, their office, or the local park.
This also allows you to have multiple sets that could be rented in any given day, without a large labor force that would have to stay at the events. If you have a small retail or warehouse location, you can also let the customers drive in and pick up their equipment.
Grow your business - And your Profits!
Laser Tag is a business that can expand and grow WITH you. Many of our customers started by scraping enough money together to purchase a dozen laser taggers and began a mobile business.
Within a year, they added more taggers, hired more employees and continued to expand their business.
Several years later, they operate a large laser tag facility and have three mobile laser tag operators running weekly parties.
