Default Valentine's Day: Market yourself...

Okay, Okay... I know. It's not even Christmas. But Valentine's Day is right around the corner; and balloon boquets are an option to roses on this most commercial of holidays. Who not get in on it!

It's important to get the information out there early enough for people to know what you can do. Let's face it - many people don't even consider balloon art, outside of a kid's birthday party. It's time to change their thinking.

A woven balloon vase with a dozen balloon roses can go a long way. The classic teddy bear balloon holding a heart is a possibility also.

Make a few V-Day boquets with different sizes and looks to them and photograph them. It's time to make flyers! I'll be doing three boquets this year - Priced at $50, $35, $25 (additional fee required if I deliver and a larger expense added if I deliver in clown or on stilts). Most businesses will allow you to put a flyer in their window - especially "mom and pop" shops... and especially "mom and pop" shops if you take a balloon or two in with you when you go to ask!

I'm working on my boquet designs for this year currently - I'll post some directions if anyone is interested in them....
