We hope you enjoyed last week’s video where Chris Horne from Amscan came in for an interview and told us just how he got into the industry. We also uploaded a Balloon Basics video of Chris Horne tying a foil balloon in 3 seconds which can save you money! Watch out for future videos from Chris Horne in the future.
We also released our first ever Balloon Market Podcast last week on ITunes and on our blog. We started off with the interview with Chris but in the future, we are planning to have unique content with business specialists and experts to help you grow your business!
We have a couple of dates for your calendar, first off it’s national allotment week on the 14th to the 20th of August and what a great time to sell these Produce Pals balloons. We love these as they are cute and friendly but also are all in the unique shapes of the fruit and veg they represent.
It’s getting the time of year when A-level and GCSE results are announced so we have a new section on our website dedicated to celebrating results day! A-level results are released on the 17th of August and GCSE results on the 8th of August.
New to us this week are these exciting sprinkles party cups, napkins and plates and also we have these Qualatex latex balloons decorated with 2017 to trend themes! These come with Unicorns, Flamingos and Pineapples. We should be getting matching foil balloons into stock with us very soon.
