Oh your Dora balloon 👍👍up Oh do you have any vids on Restaurant work? I’ve always just done Birthday 🎁 parties

Holly . . .showing young people the world of balloon sculpturing and its history . . .is priceless . . . sincerely Mr Teddy

For “pay for balloon” gigs or “please work for exposure” gigs, I simply offer a severely reduced rate (booking fee only) and then just charge per balloon.

Great information. Just was asked by a church and was going to pass it up but will offer them the paying them back idea.

you are the best...great share, stay connected

I've seen a few twisters that just go to restaurants or makers markets or street performance places and "work for tips." When it comes to not being booked and just doing balloons at a fair or streets on your own (with proper permits and permissions of course) would you think it would be easier/make more working for tips and being more mobile or having a menu board and staying in one spot?

Thx I’m a newbie , this is amazing information.

Hi - great video. When listing your prices, do you also give a rough idea of how many balloons you can tie per hour? How do you prevent people from trying to hire you for an hour to tie balloons for 150 kids? And - how many balloons can you tie per hour (if you don't mind me asking)? Also - if you know there will be a ton of kids, to you limit your offer to the simpler balloons to cut down on wait times for the kids standing in line? I apologize if this is covered in other videos. Thank you.

I am sure it depends on what balloons some take more balloons and time than others ...if there is a theme to a party some can be prepared in advance

Hey Holly, I've got a quick question. I started twisting last year and believe I have achieved a decent amount of success in under two years, I've had plently of busy weekends, but not as much as I would like! The more experienced twisters in my area charge 125-175 an hour. However, for gig lead applications such as thumbtack, gigsalad, gigmasters, etc. there are twisters that charge half of that an hour. How would you price your services in an instance there is a wide range of people who are charging more and undercutting what the experienced people think the market is? Currently I am at $100 but feel I'm getting squashed by those who are charge $25 less an hour, but I'm shocked that those charging $125+ are getting tons of bookings. Thanks!

Try raising your price to $125 or more, and see if it gets you more bookings. Or it may result in less bookings, and still end up with more money.

This is a great question Gregory, thanks for asking! I think I will dig into this in mky next video, I have a lot to say about that and want to give you a thorough answer

Don’t understand about the tickets. Sorry.

I don’t understand about the tickets. Do they buy the tickets then pay you at the end? I’m sorry for being slow here.

They would buy the tickets from a ticket booth at the fair somewhere, you don't hand them out you just collect them like money

? for the 7 minute mark, you have the client pay you your full rate, plus you charge the customer per balloon? I assume you give the client all that money, is that correct? Do you keep the extra, if made? What if you don't sell enough, what then? @@HollyTheTwisterSister

@@mariaponce3969 Yes that's correct. If you are charging your full rate and collecting from the attendees, you give what you collect to the event coordinator. It may cover your costs, it may be more, may be less. I wouldn't even count it (who has time for that!?) Just hand it over. All that matters to you is you got your full rate, and the event coordinator got your services wholly or partially paid for by the attendees.

@@HollyTheTwisterSister I was also confused on that... so the guests give you tickets and money? Or just tickets? If just tickets, I don't understand how that pays the client back.
