A bit of history: where balloon decoration came from
The first balloon decorations began to appear in domestic banquet halls in the early 1990s, but were not particularly popular. In the second half of the 'wild 90s', individual companies started doing balloon decorations, which popularized this type of decor. Now all such firms have their catalogs, pricing policies, advertising and offices. Many have expanded their range of services and perform printing on balloons. At the same time, there remain many balloon decorators who engage in entrepreneurial activities, so to speak, from home.
Room decoration with balloons (aerodesign) first appeared abroad, but it has not been possible to fully stabilize this type of activity yet. Foreign companies involved in aerodesign have their own stores where you can purchase ready-made balloon decorations or order a comprehensive room decoration service. In addition, abroad there are many decorating systems, and it is easy to find special materials and literature.
The Russian realities of the decorating business are somewhat more prosaic. Many of our decorators make do with what they find at markets (few establish direct supplies from manufacturers in Mexico, China or Spain), and make up for the lack of materials with imagination. On the one hand, all compositions are absolutely unique, on the other hand, such creativity takes a lot of time. The necessary tools are not always available everywhere either. Even seemingly accessible things like gas cylinder nozzles often have to be made by yourself.
What about us?
According to seasoned entrepreneurs, starting such a business is very simple — just a few packs of balloons and ribbons, a gas cylinder, and a few other decoration items (you can buy more while preparing the decor). Over time, you will develop your own 'signature' style of decoration, for example, you will perform balloon printing, giving you an edge over your competitors.
The majority of customers are parents who spare no expense on organizing their child's birthday party. Corporate parties also often need balloon decoration. In autumn and summer, the profitable wedding season begins.
The profitability of such a business is quite high — about 30%. From all of the above, we can conclude that aerodesign is a fairly profitable and interesting activity, and you can achieve success in it even without being a certified specialist in decorating. If you have no experience, then a creative approach and hard work will come to your aid. Without them, no business idea can be realized for sure.
