5 Tips to Increase Your Balloon Sales During the Final Quarter of the Year

Imagine yourself on New Year’s Eve, as you prepare to ring in the new year.

Clinking champagne with friends and family, or as you preparing to pull a balloon drop.

As you reflect over your accomplishments of this past year, what is the magic number you want to celebrate?

The last quarter of the year – October, November, December – tends to be one of the most profitable times of the year for a balloon business.

Are you READY to jump both feet forward to make this your most profitable quarter ever?

Here are 5 tips to increase your balloon sales during the final quarter of the year:

  1.  Write down a goal.
  2. Identify your target clients to make that goal reality
  3. Create an action plan to reach out to those clients
  4. Take action daily to book out your calendar
  5. Establish your support team to make that goal reality

Let’s break that down a bit.

Write a Goal.  If you don’t know where you are going, how do you expect to get there?

Set a number, either:

  • An end of year sales goal
  • Number of new clients you want to service
  • Total number of balloon drops or decor set ups for New Year’s Eve
  • How many Christmas Parties you want to decorate
  • Number of Birthday parties you want

Bottom line: write a goal of some type that is measurable.

Identify your target clients to make that goal reality

  • Not everyone is your customer, so do not waste your time fishing in a pond that does not have the money to pay you a profitable price.
  • Who do you enjoy servicing that has the money in their budgets and values quality balloon decor and service?
  • You don’t have to target just 1 specific person. You can market to a variety of people.

Create an action plan to reach out to those clients

  • Write out what you will do to gain access to the people you want to work with

Take action daily to book out your calendar

  • Building a thriving balloon business takes daily focus and action, not just waiting on the phone to ring
  • Set a schedule for success of tasks you will do each day, or throughout the week to gain new clients.

Establish your support team to make that goal reality

  • Growing a thriving balloon business takes a lot of time and energy. It is easy to work 80 hour weeks and get burnt out.
  • What are the things you do not enjoy doing in your business that you would like help with?
  • Seek out people with the skills and availability to help you from small task to inflating and going on jobs with you.
  • Team work makes the dream work.   I get to witness the power of a team daily as the marketing manager for a $600,000 a year balloon business now.   Each member of the team plays an important role to allow Johnathon Gerber to be a Business Boss of Party People Events, rather than a worker bee.

When you look at that list do you feel overwhelmed or excited and ready to move forward?

Growing a balloon business is not for the weak at heart. It takes focused energy and working daily to make your dreams reality.

Would you like someone to help you feel empowered to make your dreams reality with training and support for your journey to ROCK your end of year sales goals?

I remember how alone I used to feel in my business journey when I started out in 2003 and how many times I doubted my ability to grow my business.  I’m so glad I invested in my training and building a network of balloon professionals who had been in my shoes to encourage me on my journey and not to give up.
