I was doing balloons before there were single balloon animal balloons! Hanging out in Chicago I saw the creation of the single balloon animal ! The first balloons were Japanese spaghetti balloons. Then 245.! we thought 260s were a miracle. I’ve always bought but the whole balloon community ! I have a completely different way of working. It’s called customer centric. Having nearly 45 years of hospitality and festival experience. I’ve tried all the sites to separate out single balloon animals. I have a notebook over 300 single balloon animals. So at conventions when people say they have 500 balloons, give them my notebook and ask them to show us the 200 that are in there.🤣 I have a video with my technique and philosophy coming out soon from the Filipino Magic, but should be available Worldwide !
Lots of good advice here. I use tickets. I have been doing this for several years now. I have a real good idea of how long my line is. I give tickets to everyone in line. I ask the adult how many children they have with them. I then give them that number of tickets. As you know at big events the kids go and play and the adults stand in the line. The kids always arrive to get there Balloons. I always asked the next child what they want while I am making for the children ahead of them. I should start asking the second child what color they want there Balloon figure.
If they want something complicated I sure am not going to tell them I do birthday parties. I leave the birthday parties for the others. I just tell them to come back when I don't have a line.
@@ProfessorQB I do maybe 3 birthday parties/year. Only if they are close. It's an opportunity for my daughters to twist and make a few dollars. When I am doing balloons it is almost always festivals and corporate events

Those are super great ideas. Thank you for sharing them.
Where do you get the tickets 🎟️ you use?
@@ProfessorQB just simple "Admit One" tickets I get from Staples. I put them in little stacks of 30, that way I know how many I have given out.

Good point. I love doing Birthday Parties. 🙂
