Creating New Balloon Customers for Valentine’s Day

Creating New Balloon Customers for Valentine’s Day

The month of LOVE is a great time for balloon sales if you make a plan and take action!

You SELL what you SHARE

• Create balloon designs that you want to sell, post them on your website, social media and in email to your past clients and mailing list with a call to action when they need to order by.
• Call target clients and let them know what services you are offering and close the sale!
• Take action today!

Potential Decor Clients:

• Father Daughter Dances being held at local schools or churches
• Car Dealership
• Retail stores wanting to draw in customers
• Jewelry Stores
• Restaurants that host romantic dinners

Decor inspiration from a TV appearance Sandi Masori of Balloon Utopia did with a puffed Link Heart – big and makes a great backdrop for photos or decor in a large space.

Can be rigged from the ceiling with a clik clik mag pole and large ring magnets.

One of my favorite sleek columns is topped with a Chain of Hearts. I created these for a Valentine’s Day Dance at a local church years ago!

Delivery Ideas

If you don’t have access to helium – no problem when you focus on air filled delivery pieces.

You can go bright and bold or traditional Valentine’s Colors. P.S. People celebrate birthday’s in February and all year long, you don’t have to limit yourself to marketing just for Valentine’s Day in February.

Rachel Porter from Balloon Splendor started her balloon business as as single mom, delivering lovely balloon flower bouquets from her home. Here are two of her lovely sellable designs. Pick colorful containers from your balloon distributor or a local retailer to fill with your beautiful balloons. Choose from clay and plastic pots, tins, gift boxes, baskets or vases.

Another delivery idea that I created while at Florida Super Jam are simple Heart Roses, and they you can put in a container or wrap with 160’s. With any arrangement you make you want to add some weight to them so that the piece stands up well. 6 inch hearts, and a 260 with 2 pinch twist make really cute arrangements. I used 3 stacked at different heights to make a fun design for your customers to show how much they love the recipient. You can create a variety of designs to offer, but keep it simple and clear messaging to make ordering easy for your customers.

***Make sure to charge well for you time and include the delivery fee if you are delivering the items. If you have a store you can set up for pick up in the store = remember to protect yourself and get paid IN ADVANCE before making any arrangements. Florist get paid BEFORE they make their designs and so should you!

Are you thinking about setting up a Kiosk in a Mall?

Know that sales have been down in malls due to online shopping, you could lose a lot of money if you have a high overhead investment to be at the mall. To make mall sales work you must have a strong campaign to get people to the mall to pick up their items from you…DO NOT think that just because you go to a mall you will automatically have a ton of customers.
