Important!!! I want to say this in the most respectful and nicest way possible, but it seems to be a very common problem lately!
Especially compared to other balloon artists, my prices are VERY low. My labor ends up being $10/hour most times, as I try to keep prices low. Message any artist in or around Charlotte, and you will get a quick reality check of how competitive my prices are! 🤣
However, I have another job, i’m a college student, and these orders take at minimum five hours for the small ones! Factoring in materials(200+ balloons in multiple colors aren’t cheap) ,travel expenses, and labor for my time, balloon decor is not going to be super cheap! I often get customers who want to save money by doing the balloons themselves, then end up coming to me after they realize just how much time and work goes into even the smallest designs!
I have no problem working around a budget, but please be realistic with your expectations! Don’t expect to pay $50(the balloons themselves will be $50 🤣) for a full arch and multiple columns. If you know you are trying to stay relatively inexpensive, please don’t send designs that are elaborate with ten colors 😵💫 Try to be as realistic as possible. Of course there are things you can get for $50, it just may not be something huge and elaborate.
If you are on a tight budget, I completely understand and want to work with you, but please let me know that in your intial message. It takes time to come up with invoices and estimates, and i’m finding myself wasting hours messaging back and forth with people who aren’t willing to pay for the designs they want. Please respect my time, and again thank you so much for your business and support 💗
