If I've learned anything in this life, it's that nothing truly worth doing is ever simple or easy. But that doesn't necessarily make it any less worthwhile, regardless of the challenges and difficulties. Kudos to you, keep doing what you love and loving what you do, and continue to use obstacles as opportunities to improve, learn and also guide and help others. All of my best to you and yours, take care and stay safe.
I would focus on making garlands before doing a website. Make them for friends and family for free, or little cost so you can build a portfolio of work. We didn't have a website till 4 years into our business. Social media + great pics and great installs is the key in the beginning.
No worries at all. The website definitely made the ordering process better and faster. But when you're starting out, keep costs low and practice, practice, practice. Also key to get good photos, I took all of mine with my iPhone so you don't need a fancy camera or anything. Good lighting is your best friend. @@KingsDaughter.
love your video! I think starting small is the way to go! When you first started, did you get a business license? or did you need specific licensing to do installs? Thank you!
This is great video!!! I have been through a lot of this! Thank you so much for sharing. I was growing and then covid hit but people are still reaching out slowly and business is coming back. I hadn't planned on doing balloons but the decorating world you have to go with the trend and right now balloons have made a major stride! Durning Covid I took the time to sit down and write down prices ect...because I hadn't done it before Again thank you for these tips

Very insightful tips and just watching the video doesn't make me want to start a balloon business but gave me the boost and push to reinvent some things in my business, Thank you and stay blessed.
Hey! I actually have a balloon garland course, once you purchase you also get access to a private Facebook group. In the group you can ask questions, share photos of your work and connect with other students.

Hi. I'm from Philippines . I would like to ask if you are shipping balloons international?
Do the costumers bring balloons or you buy them
We buy them from our suppliers
