Website "Chat" Help / shopping cart advice
June 23, 2014, 07:15:03 PM
Hi I don't do balloon modelling as a entertaining sort of thing only small amounts at parties and weddings whilst I'm djing.

However I'm thinking of setting up a website with a shopping cart where I can list sculptures on a add to cart/purchase thing and select collect in person or local delivery. And also a page for venue decor but that will be set as price quoted after discussing what they requirements are.

Has anyone got anything like this and does it work and any suggestions on a shopping cart. I'd be looking to use a WordPress platform with a shopping cart plugin ideally.

Balloon Chit Chat / fantastic service
April 26, 2014, 11:30:24 AM
Can I just say how happy and impressed with the service ive been getting from graham. Nothing seems to be of 2 much trouble. Yesterday I was after red bear heads they seemed out of stock in the uk 5 mins later get a email saying he has managed to find some. Ordered them along with stuff from qualatex and was happy to combine the postage for me. And low and behold I receivr them the next day :-)

all in all its a very friendly personal service with quality balloons.

Balloon Chit Chat / used balloons
April 07, 2014, 08:05:25 PM
Now im twisting more and more im finding myself with loads of models just sitting in house going flat. What do you guys do with yours do you just throw them away straight away or wa ?.

I was thinking of maybey just giving them away to the local kids. Or maybey if theyr big models give them away on the likes of Facebook as a competition/marketing thing.

Balloon Chit Chat / easter idea
April 01, 2014, 06:39:02 PM
Im thinking of a design for easter use.

im wondering if I could create a bunny and stuff a whole easter egg in the body.

im thinking I may get one in to a 646 clear balloon using the same method I used to do a rose in a glass jar.

Anyone done anything like this before or any other tips.

Balloon Chit Chat / assorted packs
March 28, 2014, 06:28:05 PM
I know this may be a silly question but when you buy the assortment packs of balloons is there any colors you can expect to have less of.

I opened a traditional pack and had 1 black in it and I had 2 diamond clear out of a entertainer pack

does this usually happen or is it just pot luck on if you get a certain amount or not.
