Its slow because diy, lots of tutorials and fb groups teaching and encouraging diy. Also the economy is taking a huge hit on businesses. Thanks for being so transparent. Dont give up

[@tamiyoung2036]

First off I have to say you have been an inspiration to us. You have gone over and beyond being open about business and tricks and tips on how to construct balloon decor and decorating events. I pray that God opens the doors of many blessings for your business.

[@harmonie2121]

Focus on your marketing strategy. Start pushing grab and go garlands. Grad season is coming. Start approaching the local school boards for setups for prom and the grad ceremonies. Daycares too. Put together a hanging card/ flyer and put them on mailboxes… not inside. Also start approaching ice cream shops and small businesses with seasonal openings . When you see shifts in the market you have to pivot. Lastly tax prep companies are trying to attract business and what better way than a balloon arch or columns. At the end of the day it’s really all sales.

[@asmith2669]

Great encouragement!❤

[@stephanietillman7522]

What God has for us, it is for us!! Be encouraged!

[@YesEventDecor]

Amen!! I’m still holding on to my faith. 🙌🏽

[@denisegeorge1971]

Start doing small classes. That’s another way of bringing in some income.

[@Sam-nr7hd]

This is literally me with my business…. even down to the storage unit . I believe God is going to do so much more for you and your business. Claim it! And thank you for your transparency!

[@Exquisitedecor_byTwyla]

I can’t say enough how much I appreciate your transparency Lonielle. 🤗💕 God’s many blessings

[@natashawalters3434]

Another big thing is social media, a lot of people are starting to just diy their decorations. The last 3 clients I originally booked ended up just decorating themselves. I’ve taken a big step back from doing this professionally at this point unfortunately.

[@jackieclifford7742]

Lonielle- when I need some serious direction, I will fast, in addition to praying and being in the Word. That might be 3 days, 7 days or 21 days- ask the Holy Spirit. Jeremiah 33:3. God’s blessings be upon you as you seek His direction. 2024 is the year of the open door.

[@YesEventDecor]

Yes! You are right! I was just telling my son that I was going to fast!

[@lottabailey9904]

What’s fasting time because I need to too❤

[@janicewhite3695]

🎉 Loniel thank you so much for being transparent and sharing. I too have a dry spell and have the same concerns as you do. I’ve learned that It’s all about seasons. There are times business booms and then times where it’s slow. It WILL pick up . Also you are correct there are times where we have to be still and take it all in. Sometimes being still is when God speaks the loudest. Maybe he wants us to add or switch gears. You’ve shared unselfishly and have been open honest and cheerful teacher. I’ve learned so much from you. Thanks for all you do can’t wait to see what else God has in store for us ❤

[@theglamorouscrewkieshamesh3138]

​@@lottabailey9904some fast from 6am to 12pm or 6am to 6pm its your preference but normally nothing to the mouth in the morning

[@jackieclifford7742]

@@lottabailey9904Fasting is biblical. It is time you set aside to seek God. No food, if your body can handle just drinking water during your set time of fasting, that is best. I have to have some crangrape juice as well or I will have headaches or shakiness. When you normally have a meal, replace that with prayer and reading the Word of God. For me, the 3rd day is when I start feeling the fog lift and your senses become sharp and you can discern what the Lord is saying. He may speak to you in dreams or you “hear” Him in your Spirit, as just a couple of examples of how He speaks. It is denying our flesh bc sometimes our emotions override what God would have us do- His ways are higher than our ways and His thoughts are higher than our thoughts, as scripture says. Some people can’t fast bc of serious health problems so they can fast maybe no media or TV- whatever is important to that person, put God first in other words. Hope that helps you😇.

[@Janierrific]

I have been decorating for 12 years and and those "dead" seasons are brutal! I would recommend looking for venues in your area that don't offer decor (vfw's, community clubs, etc.) and asking if you can drop off brochures.

[@kendrasumbrellallc6143]

This is an amazing tip ❤❤

[@Exquisitedecor_byTwyla]

I was just saying this!!! It’s ridiculously SLOW. I’m already panicking. But I’m trusting God for a breakthrough…. But I must say that the current state of the economy plays a big part. Bottom line people don’t want to spend if they don’t have to🤷🏾‍♀️

[@irenedachin2329]

I'm kind of in the same place. Things are slow, and im getting anxious. But then, giving up is not even an option. We can't give up. Whatsoever is born of God overcomes the world 🙌🙌. God is going to show up.

[@kimberlycoleman5416]

I appreciate your openness regarding your business. Do not let your faith waiver in any way. What is yours will be yours. Just wait, and again I say wait. The blessings are coming. Take care.

[@donyellwalton278]

Maybe you can transfer a room in your home for storage..That’s a lot of money..I transformed my garage last year..Best investment..Stay blessed

[@aliyakeller2573]

I agree with the comments, in this season God has you in a reconnecting and restarting season meaning there’s another and higher calling and he needs you to stay still, clean your plate and listen for his voice! He has bigger in store for you! I understand the anxiety but God said be anxious for nothing but through all things with prayer and supplication! Ask, Seek and Knock, he is waiting for you 🙏🙏❤️❤️

[@Failureisnotanoptionever]

Hope this brightens your day! Keep going! Your gift will make room for you (Proverbs 18:16)

[@YesEventDecor]

Awwww! Thank you! That’s so sweet of you! 🥹🥲

[@Parrish.Creations]

please wait on God am going though selling my big home to something smaller and its so hard cry everyday but you said it pray and wait on GOD and that is what am going to do

[@stephanietillman7522]

I feel you!! The same for me. I’m an event decorator as well.

[@YesEventDecor]

It’s nice to know that it’s not just me 🤗

[@devlynnferguson9761]

Thank you for being transparent. I pray your business picks back up because God has already written your story and quitting isn’t an option! Just be ready when, it’s about to pick up! 🙏🏾

[@user-qj8dw9hd8x]

God is good all the time, and all the time God is good! Thank you for your video. I needed to hear that. I’m event planning too and I’m slow also. I’m tired of people nickel and dimming me, but what the elaborate decorations they seen online. I’m sorry for venting. We have to stay prayed up.

[@qutiepieeventsmore3525]

I do believe that you are heaven sent. Lol! If this wasn’t such a relatable video then idk what it is. I had one small booking in January and I haven’t had anything since. Slow is an understatement. But, like yourself I’m trusting and believing in God. He knows my needs before I do. He’s going to provide just like he always does. For whatever the reason is, he sees fit for me to “not” be booked and bus at this moment.. Lol! So, I’m gonna stand on his word and promises and keep my faith and also enjoy the people and things around me while I have this extra time on my hands. Trying not to focus on the lack of my business. If this makes sense. Thank you SO VERY MUCH for sharing this with us.

[@qutiepieeventsmore3525]

Also, I’m praying for you. Thank you again for sharig!

[@malcolmtmelissa]

This is what inflation is doing ...to celebrate is starting to become a luxury so I hear you....its also so slow this year for people in constructions...my husband does constructions and this is the slowest he has had in the past 8 yrs.

[@valeriewashington5665]

Hello. I am new to your channel, and I must say, you are one of the best!! I love your attention to detail. This video actually hits home for me because I am on the flip side. I love event planning! That and interior design have always been a passion for me. But to your point, you can not depend on that salary alone. For this reason, I have chosen to unfortunately stick with my corporate job that pays the bills, and I am so unhappy. I am so scared to step out on faith. I truly appreciate you sharing the pros and cons of this business. Please keep your head up and continue to be an inspiration and virtual mentor to people like me.

[@janicewhite3695]

Thanks for sharing Continue to build your clientele and market your business. You will eventually be able to step out in faith! You’ve got this

[@jesskakesllchorton4940]

It’s the same with the custom cake business. It’s usually slow in the beginning of the year, but I start booking at this time for events in April and beyond. So far I have 3 cakes for march. Last year started out with a bang and ended with a sonic boom. This year looks a bit sad so far. I am going to take this time to reevaluate, reorganize, restructure and manifest what I want for the future of my business. Hang in there, I know you’re worried, because you are talented and smart. Things will pickup 👍🏽

[@richellechandler6242]

Many blessings and appreciate the transparency.

[@reshunmurray-phillips2513]

Thank you for sharing! I believe most Event Professionals are feeling the inflation. I recently attended a gala in January and several event professional are going back to corporate America. Keep the faith. God will always provide!

[@EventsbyCheri]

Hugs to you. I have the same thought. March has been so slow. But this does not mean I have to lower my rates, My thought was saying, I was so busy last Ber season that's why God has giving me a lot of time to rest and think a bigger idea for the coming months.

[@sharntellemjohnson93]

Hello and may God continue to bless you.please be encouraged and as you have already said your space now is to wait on him,not always the most comfortable spot to be in ,yet still it has to be done . Thank you for your transparency your realness and your honoring God as you go through your journey. I am one of those who is trying to start my business and you are my encouragement so keep up the good work we got work to do.

[@carriesalow6745]

Oh, Lonielle, I am sorry to know you are struggling. I admire you so much and learn so much from you. I will be praying you can remain encouraged. Some ideas for the short term are to contact all of the high schools near you to promote your company for Prom decor and churches for Easter displays - all of the churches in my area do displays on Easter for people to take family pictures in front of them while attending church on Easter. Hospitals always seem to do big galas and fundraisers, maybe market to them if you haven’t done so already. Another idea may be to whip up a few columns and drop them off at some key businesses with your menu. Even though you’d be using some supplies it may be worth it if it would lead to some bookings. Finally, I feel like you are a natural teacher. Some other artists I follow partner with some of these balloon stores in large cities and hold classes. They charge $250-$350 per student. I’m sure you’ve seen them. That is BIG money. Honestly, if they can do it, so can you! You are very talented. Please know I care!

[@AngelBoo1001]

❤❤❤❤❤❤ Yes!!!! You got this !!!! I'm excited to see what's coming next!!!

[@Quedazcreation]

Yessss! ALL FACTS! You’re on point with this video. And it’s needed for this season. I appreciate you!

[@shybouknight2212]

You are not alone. Everyone is having money problems and going with diy party decorations.

[@ThyraHusbands-km5dw]

I pray that God will open some doors for you. You have been a blessing to many!

[@msg6974]

I felt this in my bones. Love your transparency. Do you think it has anything to do with the area being saturated? I feel like there are so many people jumping into the event decor industry.

[@latoyapeeples-im4fs]

All will be well and this will pass. You have the right mindset in giving things to God. 🙏🏼 Sending prayers. It is slow right now. Hopefully, business will pick up.

[@lap5362]

I honestly feel more people are doing balloons and back drops themselves instead of hiring out. Why, because there are so many KZbin’s, IG,TikTok out there showing people how to do it. They don’t need the decorators anymore. Sad but so true., I see it all the time on IG people posting there decor they did themselves from balloons to backdrops.

[@styleyoursweets962]

My sister I understand totally what you are experiencing. Please stay encouraged and continue to stand on God words. GOD IS FAITHFUL. Psalm 37:25 I was young and now I am old, yet I have never seen the righteous forsaken or their children begging bread. I just prayed a prayer for you before posting this comment. all is well. Blessings from N.C. Carolyn

[@macei_for_life_yall8828]

I’m going through this right now in my decorating business.

[@Keentasticday]

Your turnaround is coming soon..🎉🎉🎉🙌🏽

[@queenesther2981]

This I understand. My industry is different (graphic/brand design & consulting) but I deal with this a lot. Perhaps think about offering event consulting services, and go all in on digital products and courses. Offer the grab and go options for those who don’t have time to do full setups. All these I use to pivot throughout the year. I also recommend perhaps building your own storage SheShed. It can be on your property and can include your KZbin studio. Hope this helps! You have been a huge help and inspiration for times I’ve had to offer event decor services to my clients. I wasn’t totally interested in going full time but your courses and KZbin has been a big help.

[@alisaphillips9233]

Thanks for sharing the real struggles.

Hi Lonielle I’m going through the exact same thing with my business, my storage business is just truly slowed down. I do agree with the views with everything on KZbin people are figuring it out and trying to cut corners and save money. I’ve been praying, fasting and reading my Bible as well. I don’t know if God is redirecting me, but I’ll figure it out. I’m praying for you and I know God is going to surprise you exceedingly, abundantly and above what you can imagine.

Wooooooo este es uno de esos vídeos en los pocos en los que puedo decir que me identifico 💯 todo está tan difícil pero estoy totalmente de acuerdo con tigo vivimos y caminamos por fé y el Dios todo poderoso sabrá guiarnos y su palabra dice que el es el que va al frente como un poderoso gigante y que es escudo al rededor nuestro. Tenemos que perseverar hasta el final y creeme que yo como madre y padre para mis 5 niños está siendo difícil estos tiempos pero yo he creído en un Dios invisible pero muy muy real y poderoso Dios de lo imposible y que al que a él clama nunca lo desampara ❤ Animó y cuenta con mis oraciones, Dios es bueno y el nos ama❤

[@YesEventDecor]

[@cherylcardona582]

Thank you for sharing and we can all relate. The storage unit is really costly. I had a shed built from Home Depot approx $2000 I put a lot of stuff in there and I rent a small storage unit primarily for the tables and chairs I rent. Cut the overhead. I know some people don't want to have all this stuff around the house but be creative and utilize your space that you own to save!

[@cprice4284]

Thank you for this video! I’m new to the industry and even with low prices, it’s still rough!! But God is good and He will send the clients! We just gotta keep the faith!! You’re the bomb, thank you for all you’ve put out!!

[@YesEventDecor]

You’re so welcome! Thank you for watching my videos!

[@eventdecorbyliza]

Also remember what your doing now as marketing you will see in about a month or 2. Give it time. Remember back in November and December we are so busy we don’t market as must and affects until until 2 months later

[@YesEventDecor]

That’s a great point! When I’m busy, I don’t market as much. I do have to pay attention to that. Thanks!

[@Joyeventrentals]

I just want to say how much your account has helped my balloon arches and all your tips and tricks have been so helpful. I had an idea for you and I’m not sure if it’s something you’re interested in but here it goes! Since everyone is going the DIY route and you’re such a great teacher… why not create DIY packages with the balloons we would need to create the balloon backdrops from your YT videos. Some instructional cards and videos. I know it’s not the same as making the big backdrops but it could be some passive income for slower seasons. I wouldn’t mind paying extra if I know exactly what I can make with what I’m getting. Anyway, praying the Lord opens a way for you!

[@Juliet-ft2cn]

the main reason why it has become super slow is 1. diy from KZbin, instagram, media has crushed the business, a work that probably you will charge $2000 3 years ago now they want to pay 500 for complete set up. but they are able to spend crazy money in kfc. my business is down the hill and inventory is just collecting dust. second reason is every female that i know want to be an event decorator, i have experienced so many times that family and freinds of client want to be in the hall when decorating and they are watching for free sometimes i tell most of my clients that i dont want anyone in the hall except myself and my crews but will they listen, they try to out smart by saying oh we want to help you, i said no my crews are there for that but they wont leave just watching for free, after event is over guess what they are also posting that they are designers so that is the reson why no bookings every female i know want to be a decorator even if is not their calling or not naturally gifted.

[@lap5362]

Yes so true, so many artist get on IG and give out tips and tricks, why? Why do you do that. That is taking money from you. You are showing people how to do something on their own.

It is said we all go through seasons. A time to reap what we've sown and the times of drought. I have all but closed shop and began a part-time job just last week. It is heartbreaking to see inventory just sitting, but still believing for a turnaround. My last 2 events were in October. Walking by faith, not by sight. Hold on!!

[@jdbginger]

Well, I am going through that as well, but I have a 9 to 5 as well. My deco business is extra for me. I did it the other way around. Blessings to you.

[@phyllismoore3971]

Don't give up!! There's money to be made oit there, you just have to rethink about how to get it. Depending on your city, try biding on contracts for decorating the city events or their fund raisers. Maybe during the slow periods, offer package deals to get you through until things pick up. Some money beats no money! I pray that you have much success for the remainder of the year and in the future. I love your tutorials! They have provided me with inspiration and ideals for the small events I've done. Keep teaching and doing what you love!

[@annpacheco5166]

Don’t drop your prices! Because decor is a luxury people want all these things but don’t want to pay! Gotta love that

[@YesEventDecor]

Definitely not dropping my prices! Can’t afford to do that.

[@JusthaveEnuff]

I hope things get better. You’re so talented and relatable. Think about using an extra bedroom for storage. Maybe putting a storage building in your backyard. It will cost up front of course but you own it and you pay once. I wish you all the best. I know you will think of something!
