Hot air ballooning 😆

There is a lot in the air at the moment about Gift Balloons and hot air balloons

These gift delivery balloons I am making at the moment are going crazy

they are extremely bespoke, down to what colour you want the clouds, red/white or bubbly, if you want chocolates with them

I have been asked about doing different styles, EG halloween, what do you think? would anyone be interested in a hot air eyeball or witch?

also, what would I put in the basket? gummy worms and things like that?

Let me know what you think would someone would like to get

Cheers

Mel

 

 

Remember, when you are working with balloon professionals in Australia, make sure they are part of BASAvic  The Balloon and Suppliers Association of Australia

We are well trained and professional, we can bring your ideas to life and help you create your reality

We are against balloon releases, only use 100% biodegradable latex balloons and request our customers Pin and Bin for the best environmental results after you have used them

Balloons are Part of your Memories, when you celebrate with them, they add to the Atmosphere and the joy of your event, the photographs taken will last for ever and be seen by everyone you want to share that joy with. A joy shared is a Joy doubled, Just as the feelings you get when celebrating come back every time you look at those photos again.

Have a great week

Passing Work Around

Building a team can be tricky when you work for yourself, one of the things we do as Entertainers and Event co ordinators is share the love around, when there is a Job that I cannot do due to time constraints, I heartily recommend several of my competitors, and they in turn send work to me, when we have a big decor install or event, we book each other and everyone gets to wear each others T shirt or banner during that event/decorbuild.

This is important for two reasons,

  1. It’s always good to work with a team even on an adhoc basis, being alone all the time sends some small business people batty.
  2. What goes around comes around, this is true in life and n business, when we support each other, we all move a step forward, being jealous and guarding your customers can only make the customers anxious and therefore less likely to book you. by sharing the love with your peers, they in turn will share with you.(community is Awsome)

Have a Fab week my friends

This is what being a Professional is all about, Being Prepared

So many times I get questioned about why we are expensive, and I get it, you want to look after the budget, but this is why you want want to only work with professionals.

Today, I was twisting balloons and entertaining the crowd, 

A little girl about 12 so not that little I guess, at the front of my line fainted, as a Professional, I have all  my insurances and working with children’s checks, and a senior first aid cerificate, And nearly 20years working with children.

 I’m lucky to have caught her before she hit anything, I let her down gently and made sure her head did not hit the ground, put her into the recovery position and, as others (thank you parents that came in to assist when this happened, you are awsome) called her carers and management, we started cooling her down, this was all done calmly, and methodically.
 Her little sister was also in the line for balloons so after we got sister 1 squared away, cold cloths and cold water, carers in attendance I made her the best poppy troll-like balloon I could, I made sure she had down and got her to smile and relax.

This is my life.

 Being an entertainer means I am always prepared, I have a first aid kit with me should it be required, I am very conscious about health and safety because you and your children are my responsibility, both in entertainment and in safety when I’m booked, because accidents happen my friends, A professional entertainer will always Be Prepared, even if it’s not me, make sure you are sure of whom you are working with
Be well my friends
