All about my Balloons!!! 🎈📍 🤔
[October 30th, 2024, Indianola, IA]
👋 I told someone the other day I've twisted about 15,000 balloons since I started in 2021. It looks like the total is now closer to 18,000-20,000 balloons! 🎈🎈🎈
ℹ️ My average balloon cost started at ~10c per balloon, but is now an average of ~6c per balloon. The total cost for my balloon supply has well exceeded $1000 dollars since I started!
👏 I am proud of myself and my wife [who helps me for free after working 40 hours a week as a sales development consultant] for making that many balloons! 🦸♂️🎈🦸♀️
🆓️ We have also been able to allocate complimentary balloons and services to local charitable, community, and awareness events, such as Roseanna’s Run 2024, the Norwalk Farmer's Market (summers of 2022-2023), Balloons for Norwalk Chamber promo bags and grand openings, free random balloon drop-offs at local business (to keep some & hand out to their customers!), and our own free pop-up events in public parks! 🏞
👮♂️🛹 As a police officer over a 9-year career in Des Moines, I took approximately 10,000 calls for service- And as skateboarder, I've attempted over a quarter million tricks! I didn't always make it out of a call or stunt unphased, but I made it out alive- and am thankful to have had the opportunity to donate over 20 skateboards to the local community over the past two years! The average cost for this has been around ~$70.00 each, equalling around $1400.00 in total donations 🤟😁
💰I charge $180 for a local two-hour balloon party (Warren County Iowa). I can make around 60-100 balloons per hour! I don't charge for individual balloons because I invoice the event planner (hopefully you reading this 😁) and create a live-art experience for your guests!
🙋♂️ I believe in Heart to share with others, Courage to do the right thing even when it's the hardest, and in our American Liberties that were taken by force from tyrants and gifted to us by men and women far greater than I ❤️🦸♂️🇺🇲🫡
😊 In conclusion, I'm thankful to be alive and to be able to create joy with a simple balloons around my family and community. Thank you for patronizing our tiny Iowa balloon entertainment business. It helps us and it helps us help others! 🙏🎈
