Ever wonder what’s behind the price tag of our balloon magic? Let’s solve the mystery, but hey, hit that share button first - let’s get your clients in on this secret too!
🏠 UTILITIES: Whether it’s a swanky store, a cozy home corner, or that mysterious ‘dedicated’ space (a.k.a. the garage), running a business means bills, bills, bills!
📱 PHONE & WIFI: Guilty as charged for chasing the latest phone models. In this business, we all need a better camera and more storage
💻 WEB PRESENCE: Website, domain, professional emails, and phone lines. No, we don’t hand out our personal number 😉!
🛠 TOOLS OF THE TRADE: Storage boxes, ladders, and yes, a rainbow array of balloons. Some colors we use once and... never again… sounds familiar?
🧰 SOFTWARE GALORE: Canva, Capcut, CRM, QuickBooks, ChatGPT, Stripe, Audible, Linktree, iCloud... Think Santa’s list, but for tech stuff 😅
🎓 TRAINING: I’m always learning, growing, and probably spending a bit too much on courses and coaches - but hey, knowledge is power! 💪🏻
🚗 TRANSPORTATION: Time on the road isn’t just about cruising. It’s wear-and-tear on the car, maintenance, those winter tires (brrr!), and that dream truck most of us have. It’s not just a vehicle; it’s a MOBILE EMPIRE!
👥 HIRING HELP: Can’t do it all? Get a web designer, media buyer, helpers, or a cleaner. And let’s not forget TAKEOUT - because who has time to cook? 😮‍💨
🖥️ OFFICE/SHOP ESSENTIALS: Desks, chairs, computers, printers, heat sealers, backup pumps, legenda, hand pumps, balloon stuffer, helium tanks... It’s like a balloon artist’s version of a treasure chest.
🕒 PERSONAL SACRIFICES: Time away from family, sleepless nights, forgotten self-care, and for full-time entrepreneurs, waving goodbye to PTO (paid time off), health benefits and paid vacations.
So next time you price one of your balloon masterpieces, remember it’s not just latex and air (or helium); it’s a whole world of unseen effort and investment.
Let’s give a round of applause for all the balloon artists out there! … And let me know in the comments what I missed? 👇🏻
