Hi everybody. I would love some advice, if any of you are willing to help out. I have recently become pretty busy in the area where I work(Southern Illinois/United States.) I am getting bigger and bigger events. Though I have tried to tone down the complexity of the models I use I just cannot keep myself out of balloon machine mode. Though I am looking at several possibilities for the restaurants and parties I work I am particularly looking to improve my entertaining levels at large events.
I wonder this, do most of you just accept that not everyone can have a balloon when the lines reach a certain point? I have been toying with the idea of myself and my partner making mostly one balloon swords, animals, and a couple multiple balloon flowers for the majority of the crowds(like those wishing to move onto another activity.) For those willing to stick around I would make some of my neater stuff...but they would have to participate in some activities(answering questions, singing songs, etc.) I have a feeling this would work, but it is so nerve wrecking to try something new when you have already established yourself in another way! I'm afraid I might just be trying to reinvent the wheel. Should I just keep ballooning like I am, or slow myself down. I would say I currently balloon for about 20(or a few more)kids per hour. I feel like I am just blasting out balloon after balloon, with very little interaction(I have gotten a bit better at entertaining, but I am a bit of a perfectionist too.
Any advice? How long do you all take per kid, or how many per hour? Anything you'd be willing to share would be great. Thank you....
