This has inspired me to not listen to other people and go forth and so a company that I want to do in my local area which I see a gap in the market !!! Thank you xxxx
Yay! Go for it, if youre wanting guidance and training, I am launching my balloon course in a couple of weeks. You and sign up here for the wait-list mailchi.mp/b238a5a364c5/celia-gercovich-balloon-garland-course
I'm so GLAD you did it anyway when your friend was negative. People need to STOP listening to people who haven't even done what you planning to do? How can you possibly take any advice from them, trust your gut get a good mentor, take some classes and practice, practice, practice. I tell everyone every expert was one a beginner!!!! Love your story keep reaching higher!
Love love your story. I know the feeling 😕 I have sooo many people to prove wrong. I've just started my balloon business and your story is very encouraging.
This was exactly what I have been looking for. I am a travel agent who as you know with Covid has absolutely no business coming in for at least the next 6 months or longer at least. I have been toying with the idea of doing something very similar. I live in a semi rural area and my shop is in the local village. There is no one here, servicing this idea. I have the space and want to do start a new business here. Thank you for the inspiration.
Wow yes , it slowed me down . I’m in Florida a lot of people decorate . Yes I know I should not worry about that. I was more so to work from home . I don’t drive and thought this could work . I do decorate mostly dessert tables an I do balloons 🎈 trying to find my niche as they call it thanks for this video , 👍🏽😍
OMG! You are so dope! I happened into balloons too. I decided to DIY a garland for my Mom’s birthday party and the event planner I hired asked for my balloon artist’s number. 🤣 Then I looked up the going rate for these in my area and I decided to start my own business. I am definitely using balloons to fuel my debt free journey.
You’re story was so so inspirational! God bless you land your business and genuinely cannot wait to get there with my business! I just started in late October this year! One of my biggest questions to you is how do you go about reaching out to vendors. What are the steps. Because I’m in the early stages I’ve learning as I go but it gives me anxiety as well. However I’m NOT GOING TO STOP!! So thank you for saying that! I live here in NY and due to covid things are slow. So for now I’ve been practicing with Kits to get content and enhance my skills while posting on my page but I realized that starting mid January I will have to switch to premium quality balloons even if it’s for practice I can definitely see the difference in quality.
Hey! Yay! Definitely dont stop, check out my latest video on the Pros and Cons of starting a balloon business, I think it will help inspire you a lot xx
I cannot thank you enough for making this. I've been struggling with where my business has been going and I've been doing it for about 4 years. Thank you so much for your blatent honestly. This was so perfect to hear someone else who has been on such a similar journey. It shouldn't matter but this sincerely meant the world to me.
I am so happy to hear this!! Make sure to check out my other video, The Pros and Cons to running a balloon business. I think there are lots of great tips in that, that you will appreciate :)
Love this! Awesome story, so relatable, and you are so fun to watch! I’m at the beginning of my own journey and your story and tips were very helpful. 🤗
Thank you for sharing your story! This is so amazing. I my self have a business that is very popular and how you handled everything is extremely inspiring!
Sorry to ask this question… where did you register your name? Im in this small bussiness im just at the point where i took some classes to learn how to make balloon garlands and i want to know how to register a bussiness name? Make a logo. And start from there.
I can truly relate to you SO MUCH. From the entrepreneur spirit, when you get a a random idea and the wheels starts turning and you can't stop them... Lol to not caring what others opinions are about your small business adventures. I absolutely love your channel, thank you for your videos! Have you ever thought of mentoring people who want to start a decorating business? I'm just starting the process and have no idea where to begin.
Hey Sarah, thank you for the kind words. I have thought of doing one on one coaching but I do have a Balloon Garland Course which is probably the easiest way to learn. Its all video tutorials and keeps it nice and simple. It covers everything I wish I knew before I started plus heaps of extra tips. The link to the course is in my bio if youd like to check it out. I also do business coaching and TikTok coaching
Thank you, great video. I'm just starting out in a rural town and will be the only one. This video has given me confidence because trust me im crapping my dacks lol Some wise words from such a young woman. I will check out your course dates. Thank you.

Hey! For all of our helium bunches, my friend and I did a photoshoot then she edited them. For all the photos of balloon garlands in this video they are just photos from my phone
Hi, thank you for the inputs and opinions. I learned alot. I'm starting up my balloon business soon but I need a trusted supplier for the balloons. Could you help me with that ?
Thank you so much for sharing 💜 I have always loved decorating parties now that I have a toddler i learn how to make balloon garlands and candy tables. I honestly enjoy it and someone recently asked me why I dont start my business and ever since that day its been on my mind. I hope to start small and get to be successful 🙏
That is awesome! You should definitely start running it as a business. Im launching a course soon on balloon garlands, how to make them, how to install them and how to market them. Heres the course link - mailchi.mp/b238a5a364c5/celia-gercovich-balloon-garland-course
this is so cool! never heard of a balloon business. I'm sure that u have learned so much form ur business. btw found u from the women of youtube and decided to check u out. u have good use of ur time to start this channel hahahah contrast!
I have a question, If I want to start my business how do I show my work? Do I need to make balloon bouquets just for the pictures??? I feel like it’s a waste ?
Hi Diana, when the pandemic hit my home town, all big events stopped, so I pivotted our business. I built and ecom website and we started doing daily balloon deliveries for our home town. Pandemic or not, birthdays still occur and although families couldnt see each other, they still sent presents.
My soul sister! I used to feel bad sometimes for not giving a fuck what other people thought about me/my stuff but I’m older now and and don’t care anymore lol!
Hi Jill, check out my balloon garland course. It’s currently 50% off with code BALLOONS. It covers everything you need to know on starting a successful balloon garland business
This is something I’m Interested in but I will add more to the business (competition). I sadly live in a area that has a good amount of others doing the same thing, yet I wanted to add different services. Not just balloons. I want to add a variety of services. Yet from your point of view is it worth doing it when others in the area are doing it? I’ve been trying to do a business that i can add my artistic ways in. Of course start small and expand
I think if you can offer something different, eg packages then go for it! There are lots of balloon companies in my home town now. Some that do completely different stuff to us, some that do similar. I think if you have a creative edge and you think it could be a success, go for it!
Love it your so sincere thank you me and my partner have struggled with people opinions especially family and friends but we keep ignoring them and try to keep positive. Everything you mentioned hit me for the positive im grateful to have seen this video new follower🎈💗😘defenetly will sign up for the class thank you.
