Hi Rachel! I love these videos that speak directly to artists 😊 I would love to see your scaled pricing with examples if you have the time for a video like that! thank you for sharing! In a future video, would you be able to share some of the following things? I live in a town where I’m the only one styling balloons so I’d love to see what others are doing! 🎈what do your quotes look like? what is an absolute for what to include on a quote? 🎈would you be willing to share your spreadsheet of how you calculate what the cost to you is? 🎈what questions do you ask when a client wants to book with you? What format do you use to ask- google forms, dm, email, etc.? I hope this isn’t too much! Thank you so much 😊

Hey girl! Thanks so much for all the feedback! I will see what I can do on these 🤔💭 I also wasn’t aware of other balloon artists in my area when I started so I did a lot of research just on other artists in general, in other areas. I will have some things launching early next year that may help! XOXO, Rach

I do per garland 6 to 8 feet then have the buyer pick up!. The garland are small or med balloons and add on $ for any decor like leaves or flowers.it works out great I make the garlands in about 20 - 30 min so the price comes out to $60 per hour.

I started watching your videos just to learn how to make a special balloon arch for my mom’s 85th birthday party. Well you’re videos are so much better than anything else out there that I really got hooked and started coming up with my own ideas and now I am seriously thinking of starting my own business, completely modeled after you! You are so good at making everything look fun and easy while still being realistic! You are a fabulous teacher and motivator! You should teach classes at convention’s for large groups, especially charity type groups that can’t afford to pay someone else to do what they could do for themselves if they only knew how. Before retiring I was a foster parent and we would plan huge picnics and parties for the kids. We always wanted, but just couldn’t afford those big beautiful balloon displays. We were all so intimidated by the beauty and price that we were all so sure that they must be incredibly difficult, so we never even thought about doing it ourselves. Boy, I sure wish we’d had your videos back then! The kid’s would have loved it! So do the world a favor and keep on teaching! Thank you so much, you are absolutely THE BEST!!!!

Did you say balloon booty? :) I remember my first corporate job, I did a site visit to show them the actual inflated balloons in the company colors. Install day, halfway through, the manager asked me to remove one of the colors because it looked like a gender reveal. After I cut those sections out, it of course changed the entire shape of what I was designing :( They were still pleased, but I wasn't. Fortunately they paid up front so the size difference was on them. Would that have been the 'pain in the ass' client you mentioned?
@BubblyBalloonCo2 жыл бұрын
hahahaha!!! I believe the exact words were "big ole bustly booty" LOL Oh mannnnnnn I hear you!!! I hate so much when it gets changed onsite but as long as they're happy with it that's what's most important. But yeah, you'd already bought the supplies and done the work, good thing they paid up front! I'll let you decide what's a pain and what isn't 😜😇 XOXO, Rach

Thanks! Great information. I'm new at this, and this is very helpful. $20-$25 per foot seems to be around the average that I've found, but how much do you charge when the customer buys their own balloons? I need to blow them up, transport them to the venue, install the arch and then break it down. I'm at a loss as to what to charge. Help....

Hi Marissa, that's such a good question! Honestly, a lot of it is just trial/practice/experience, but in my agreement (basically a contract) I have a minimum estimated length, with the caveat that if it is longer, it is priced out at $X per foot. XOXO, Rach

Omg thanks so much for takings the time to really break things down this is by far the most easy to follow and understandable starting point in pricing so far I have been doing materials + labor and then multiplying by 2 wich is ok sometimes but some times my prices don't seem reasonable this way doing it by feet and level of service will not only cover me but also my client! ❤❤❤❤ is there any way you could kinda go into how u stared putting together your contact that would be so helpful ❤ thanks in advance and I appreciate all your help

Hey Carol, I can understand that. Personally I would start competitively to get myself a foot in the door and some word of mouth and build that portfolio. Cut some good deals on jobs you will be proud of with the agreement they promote you to their friends and family, etc. And then work out a pricing system that is both profitable and fair along the way. Hope that helps! XOXO, Rach
