I’m glad you mentioned family cuz our family thinks that I should do arch’s, garlands & columns for them as my “gift” to them for the event. I will always provide service for my own two daughters obviously so I’m not meaning the. But I mean sister in law, dusty, nieces, etc.. they don’t even want to pay for supplies. I have finally voiced my frustrations with them.
well, it all depends.... there are times where i don't mind helping with decorations as a small gift. But to expect to do a big display for free NO. that should not be expected they have to pay for your time and services.... if they don't agree just simply don't do it.
One thing I have learned in this business is don't compare yourself to others and your prices are your prices not matter what they are charging. I don't go on what other people charge I do go on websites and see if I can find it most times I can't but just be you and you know your area but don't underestimate your worth.
Yes, continue with important information like this video. I would love to see a video of what materials to use when hanging balloons, garlands . For instance what hooks, special tape etc.. to place on cement, brick, painted walls and such. Thank you
Hi. I personally like how your videos are a mix of business knowledge, and tutorials for both garlands and bouquets. I’m aware that right now bouquets are very popular because it’s the new thing so I understand if you do more of those types of videos. Keep up the good work. I’m also starting my decorating business and enjoy all your videos ❣️
great thank you for this! i am always wondering what people want to see next! so this helps a lot :) Balloon Bouquets are very in right now and i am loving them but i also like to put garlands together! i'll continue to make a mix of both!
I’m so glad I discovered you. This information is helpful and very appreciated. It’s hard to figure out the money side of things when it comes to craft honestly for me. But I’m finding the business side of your videos so much helpful! Thank you so much! I can’t emphasize how helpful your videos are.
awwww thank you for watching my videos! yes it is so fun to do all these great balloon designs but there's also a business that needs to be run... i think it is super important for people that are doing this as a business but also as important for people to know of how much goes into running a business and this is why our prices are the way they are.. time +effort + materials +design = money
I agree if they really want something they shouldn't want to lower prices. They don't ask walmart to lower prices at the checkout lol...I clearly state my prices and I roll the ball when it comes to the prices depending on who , what and how much! Then they can decide who they want to use. My prices are reasonable and I do not deliver some decorations, they are strictly pick up. Plus I get cash only and have half down non refunded deposits. It's the way you have to go now a days in business. You are a great teacher. Thanks for your insight and honesty.
Thank you for help. I am very new, just building product. Now interested in arrangements rather than garlands. Although I will watch all your videos. I am in Canada and supplies are not too easy to come by. I am retired and love crafting. Hope to do arrangements for friends for Easter as a learning time. Thank you again for your down to earth videos. I look forward to them.
Thank you for this. I really appreciate you. Yesss more videos on business and your other arrangements. I started My Gifts and Balloon Business a few weeks ago and I am really nervous about presenting my first couple of pieces and was undecided about pricing.
I appreciate your advice. It is Very Helpful! Also to answer your question I love to see more videos on balloon bouquets. I am née to the balloon business and I have seen and done many garlands but I would like to get better at bouquets. You have an artistic eye and it’s fun to learn from you. Thanks
It was really good as iam thinking to start a business for balloon bouquet I was really curious about pricing and this video solved my issues and yes would love to learn more from u but right now would like to learn more balloon bouquets thank you dear ❤️
Greetings! Thank you for making this video and sharing this knowledge. Balloon bouquets as a business has kind of fallen into my lap as a result of being inspired to take my DIY bouquet for my child's sweet 16th to a full on side biz. Starting out right with this wisdom is very valuable to me. Thank you so much! new sub! 😊
A STARTING PRICE FOR ANY GIFT IN A BALLOON IS 50.00. IST ANY GIFT IN A BALLOON IS A VERY UNIQUE AND DIFFERENT TYPE OF GIFT. ESPECIALLY LARGE SIZE BALLOONS. YES YOUR DESIGNING IS WORTH 50.00 OR MORE FOR THE GIFTS IN A BALLOON. NO MATTER WHAT THE SMALL COSTS FOR THE SUPPLIES. KEEP UP THE BEAUTIFUL DESIGNING AND THANK YOU.❤😊🎉
I truly appreciate you sharing this video and sharing your knowledge. May your business continue to be bless and grow exponentially. Have a bless and amazing day.
This video is super helpful! Thank you for sharing this information 🙏🏻 Pricing has always been a huge issue for me, but with this info, it’ll be a lot easier! I would like to see balloon garlands, but the bouquets are also great 😊
My bestie n I have recently started our balloon business so this is very very informative. We live in a small town but near bigger areas. Branching out is in our future. Thank you for videos n yes I subscribed for sure. Keep them coming.
This video was so helpful.. I’m new on this .. now I have an Idea how much to charge.. .. I will also like videos , like the material quality .. like which one is the best balloons or material.. tools ... etc..
yes, even if you have to cut corners every once in a while... its always good to look at the pricing that SHOULD BE! this will motivate you and someday you'll get there if you haven't done so already!
thank you thank you im always having hard time on pricing i feels like im way to generous lol but anyway as long im happy and have a little profit im happy with that..
i always wanted to do something this,but my ex husband wasnt supportive and i was always scared to do it till 2 weeks i did a decoration just to help for some soccer awards event and they asked for business card. since i always go all over on my kids bday parties i just do it for fun and because i love it! now my question is ... everytime you add materials you add up everything even if its for example a big bag and you have enough for other things?this video help me a lot thanks
Hi Chantal 👋 love your videos! This year I have dedicated myself to gift all of my family members a balloon bouquet or arrangement. I’m currently working on one for my mother-in-law, I’m doing it with a metal hoop (because the plastic hula hoops aren’t in stock just yet), I would love some tips or possibly a tutorial from you? 🙌 🤞
This is helpful. I have a hard time trying to figure out how to charge people because they look at you like what.... for balloons lol like they have no idea what goes into it. Did you take classes or just watch other balloon videos to learn.
Love your videos they are so helpful. I'm just getting started and was wondering if you have a vendor list of the best places to purchase supplies. Thanks
I appreciate your videos that I've started watching as well as this video about pricing, etc. Did you learn to make balloons on your own or did you go anywhere that teaches people the art of balloon making? Thanks so much for your help
Yes I did both. I first venture out by myself watching tutorials, trial and error sorta speak.... but i also started investing in my craft. I continue to do that because the trends change and you will always learn something new... but if you truly ask me if you need a diploma or certificate to start this as a business... no you don't!
@@uptownevents4858 yes, I know you don't need a certificate or anything. I was asking if you went to a place that offers the classes in person. I've also been looking at youtube and your'e great at explaining what you do. I've been looking for places where I live and everything is on-line. I would have to go to Houston which is kind of far for me since I live in San Antonio, but we'll see what happens. Thanks so much for getting back to me and your great videos!
@@mirandarebornbabymaker212 most places that i know are in New York... but you are right a lot of the classes are virtual and with Covid around not a lot of people are venturing out....
@@uptownevents4858 I am originally from NY. My brother is in Jersey. Maybe I can see what I find and go bug him to stay with him while I find someone or someplace where it will be face to face. 😊
How do you charge for supplies? For example, if you only use two balloons out of a whole pack. Would I charge for the whole pack or only for the two balloons that were used out of the pack.
Hi there. I love your work and I’m trying to learn as much as I can before open my own business but I just have one question. Do you charge taxes on it when you sale? Thank you!
not sure if i answered this already?? I try not to take business from clients that want to use their own balloons. one of the many reasons is because they will never purchase high quality balloons like i do... and i can't risk having cheap balloons popping, not enough quantity etc.... i either don't take the business or try my best to explain why they have to get the balloons through me and discourage them from using their own...
I've had potential customers tell me that's to expensive for a balloon bouquet. This one lady, deShe wanted the number 2, 2 big dinosaur mylars plus 4 different colors of latex. She wanted it to be about 3 feet tall for her pictures she was planning on. So I gave her a price of 100.00 and she said how about 40.00 I was like what in the world. I told her for 40.00 you get the number 2 and 3 colors and it will be about 2-3 layers ... She said what if I get to can I pay 75 for each smh no lady you can't. I told her I'm sorry but you can call someones else because I'm not changing my price. So it does happen. I just couldn't believe her. I wish I had the quote back then so I could have read it to her. I felt bad but I was just being honest.
Yes it is hard because you want to secure the business but at the-same time you cant give out stuff for free... i have had lots of businesses slip through my hand cuz of pricing and it does hurt but dont be discouraged for the1 business you loose you gain a ton more. Plus think of it this way... they really like what you do otherwise they would’ve never contacted you....
I had that happen to me too. I told them i was not a garage sale and he can make it himself. People like that are not myu customer. They just want something for free.
@@ivorybluesky this has happened to me so many times. And i understand they are shopping around for pricing and all.... i try to be accommodating but if they begin requesting all sorts of specialty things for minimal pay after already somewhat lowering my price... thank you next! lol
I’m glad you mentioned family cuz our family thinks that I should do arch’s, garlands & columns for them as my “gift” to them for the event.

Oh and how can we price garlands?
the same way. you have the option to charge for the whole thing or per foot.
Do i need to.get a business license for balloon decor?
yes! whenever you open up a business it is a good idea to get a business license
Do you conduct class
Not yet, but def. thinking about it. 😉

How much you charge for a balloon bouquet
My pricing varies depending on the design of the bouquet, materials, and size. So there is not really a one price fits all....
