Balloon expert Qualatex has announced its UK training course calendar for the autumn/winter 2018 season, covering a number of trend-led categories including Wedding Trends, Chrome Fun and What’s Hot Right Now.
The programme will also include core business courses such as Retail Essentials and Visual Merchandising. All courses will be presented by world-renowned instructors, utilising the latest Qualatex products and demonstrating both core and new techniques.
The Wedding Trends classes will focus on current trends and popular designs within the wedding sector, which has grown significantly for the balloon industry in the past few years. The new Chrome course – Fun, Fashion and Fabulous Décor – has been created for anyone looking to develop their deco-twisting skills and will be perfect for retailers, home based decorators or twisters.
The core Retail Essentials course is a fantastic first step for retailers looking to grow their balloon sales. Delegates will learn how to create perfect bouquets and simple balloon characters as well as effective pricing and promotion techniques.
“All Qualatex courses are unique and designed to offer inspiration, continuous skills development and give attendees proven tools to help their businesses grow,” said Anna Hickman, education and export marketing manager at Pioneer Europe.
“We are committed to furthering education for balloon professionals, and we are proud to offer the most extensive range of training courses in the industry. All course places are offered on a first come first served basis, so be sure to reserve your place soon to avoid disappointment.”
