Balloon brand Qualatex has published a special guide in response to the current helium shortages and prices increases which have been affecting balloon businesses on a global scale.
Following the news that helium suppliers such as BOC have announced that they have have been forced to ration customers to a one-in, one-out policy as well as significant price hikes, many balloon artists have been turning to air-filled deisgns as they look for alternative ways to continue offering their services.
The 12-page catalogue sets it agenda from the outset, stating: ‘If the price of helium has you scrambling for ideas to keep your balloon sales soaring, look no further!’
The designs featured within the guide – which can be seen online here – are not only simple to assemble, but are highly profitable without the extra cost of helium. Suggestions include a variety of simple and luxury air-fill designs options, as well as the dramatic 350Q and 646Q stand-ups and quick link columns.
The initial listings are then followed be a selection of more detailed recipes which incorporate a selection of cash and carry ‘gifts’ as well as candy cups, balloon buddies and more.
