Certification badges
Badges customers can trust — because they're verified.
Any member company can apply for a badge. The association reviews the documentation behind each one — insurance certificates, training records, cleaning logs — and re-verifies it every year. A badge on a directory listing means we checked, not that they paid.

Why badges matter
When a parent books a bounce house, they're trusting a stranger with their child's safety for an afternoon. Badges turn that trust into something checkable: documented insurance, real training, and a cleaning process that actually happens.
For operators, badges are the cheapest marketing you'll ever do — and the criteria push your business toward the practices that win awards.
