Comments and Testimonials
From Owners:
Says John Trigg of Charlotte/Fort Mill
KOA in South Carolina:
Q. What made you take the plunge and install a Jumping Pillow?
A. I saw the reaction
of children and adults in Australia and knew it was a 'Must Have'
Q. Tell us about your first weekend after installation
A. After the first
day I had to reset the timer to 10pm and extend the playing time
and the kids were waiting on the Sunday morning for the timer
to start!
Q. What were some of the comments from campers?
A. They just loved
it and commented that they knew where their kids were when they
weren't at the campsite. The Jumping Pillow has become a social
center for the kids, when they are not jumping they are sitting
around the edge talking and interacting.
Q. It's big , colorful, safe, healthy, loads of fun etc, but
was it a good business decision? Will you get a healthy return
on investment?
A. We have people saying
'We'll be back' and as word gets out it will begin to pay for
itself. I expect that we'll see a good return next season. As
Mom and Dad are booking in the kids are running for the Jumping
Pillow - that's got to be a great indication!
Q. Would you recommend it to other KOA Kampgrounds?
A. I would recommend
it to any and all campgrounds.

to have something unique to attract new business.
Q. Tell us about your first weekend after installation
A. Our Pillow is visible
from any location and as soon as campers pulled up the kids got
out of the car and ran to the pillow, they were jumping before
Mom and Dad had even registered. Not only did the kids love it
but the Adults as well.
Q. What were some of the comments from campers?
A. I'll answer this
another way, we have a constant complaint from our campers, "Why
isn't the Jumping Pillow open longer? It should be 24 x 7, next
we'll have to put in lights I guess! Parents often comment on
how well their kids slept.

Says Bill Jones of Madison
KOA in PA:
In July our business was
up 8% over 05. The Pillow was operational on July 27th.
In August our business was up 25% over 05. I think the pillow has something
to do with this!!!!
From a Camper:
We were at Big
Timber in Montana and stumbled on the jumping pillow. It was
wonderful. I would definitely choose to camp at any campground
with the jumping pillow. The pool at Big Timber was empty. Everyone
was on the jumping pillow, including a lot of adults, and kids
of every age. I watched for an hour. The other particular advantage
for us was that our grandson is ADD, and often in conflict with
his peer group over rules, dominence, etc. The jumping pillow
provided him with a wonderful outlet for energy without aggression,
and me with enjoyment ..watching...What a great idea for school
playgrounds. Bobbie Tischer. FL
From another Camper:

We saw it at the KOA in Wisconsin and the kids loved it. Fred
Thompson. CO
