Here is a video of a setup we did including our 5ft x 7 ft grass backdrop and Candy Cart. This is one of the packages we offer and does not include delivery. The Balloons are Qualatex Rose Pink, Pink and white. The garlands took about an hour to create and setup was just under an hour. Delivery was about 15 min away. So total maybe about 3 hours ordering, communicating, creating and setting up. For our area, our prices are higher than a lot of the other people online creating backdrops. But our prices are a lot lot lower than the professional event companies in our area creating backdrops over $1,000 to $2,000. So some will say were not charging enough, which I think. And others will say way too much. The market is what people are willing to pay for you to design their party and not the others because of how your product looks in the end.

    Hello. This is wonderful! I’ve been watching your videos for a while and I really like your work! I have a question for you regarding pricing: do you charge a rental fee for the props (like grass wall and candy cart)? Do you include it in your pricing? Or do you just consider as a wear n tear cost over time..? As a new business owner I struggle with this 🤷🏻‍♀️

  • @MakerDecor

    Hi, thank you and yes pricing is the most difficult and was something we struggled with at the beginning. But we did eventually learn, less work and making a profit is better than a lot of busy work and barely making anything. We changed our pricing so much and all the time really. At first I even forgot to charge delivery and setup lol. But you learn by doing most of the time. And yes charge a rental fee for props for sure. Some people only rented the props because they would do the balloons themselves or they would pay somebody else to do the balloons because we were too expensive, lol? Which at that time we weren't at all and should of charged more. Charge for each prop, backdrop, sign, setup deliver, balloons, etc. Some times we even did packages were we would put stuff together and all they would do was change the balloons really and that was our budget friendly option. But then we just went back to individual as this was best for us. Don't under value what you offer and if you are being booked a lot then time to raise those prices! Hope this helps.

    Жыл бұрын

    Hi, yes but this one is I believe 5ft x 7ft. I believe I had to buy two to make the 8ft x 10 ft grass backdrop. But I don't really recommend that large anymore as it can be a hassle. The smaller one works great, we just add the balloons more to the side and it appears bigger. But 8ft x 8ft is the biggest I would go with now. But it may take more than one box. Its been a while but I believe the grass squares are 20 inches by 20 inches. So you would have to do the math to figure the size that best fits your needs. Thanks

I can tell you right off the bat though, the top if not most recognized quality balloons will be from Qualatex in most situations but can vary. I will have a lot more info when I create the video.

  • @MakerDecor

    @MakerDecor

    2 жыл бұрын

    Hi, thanks for watching. If you are meaning pickup and popping balloons. It depends when we go back to pickup the balloons some times we would pop them on site. But really I would just throw them in the trailer and pop them later. We liked to just drop off and pickup as quick as possible. If you are meaning your balloons popped on site before the event or during the event. Two things make sure you are using the right quality balloons such as qualatex, tufftex, etc. Second is avoid placing in direct sunlight if possible. The sun will always be an enemy of balloons. If we know it will be hot or in the open we recommend to the client to keep out of sun as much as possible and if they want it in the sun mention you can not guarantee the balloons will not start to pop and again try to find a shaded spot. But if they understand the risk and still want it then that is up to you and them. Thank you, hopefully this was helpful.
