A few of my non-negotiables: 🎈 SIZE EVERYTHING I use my Conwin Twin Air Sizer so every balloon is inflated to exactly the same size. With classic decor, even small sizing differences are noticeable. 🎈 KEEP YOUR PATTERN CONSISTENT Double check your colors, placement and pattern as you build. One balloon in the wrong spot can throw off the whole column. 🎈 STRAIGHT + LEVEL Step back and look at the entire column. Make sure it’s standing straight and that your topper, logo or monogram is level. Use a laser to make sure everything is straight 🎈 TAKE YOUR TIME WITH VINYL You’re applying something flat to something round, so bubbles, wrinkles and lifting can happen easily. I use a little heat to help the vinyl conform to the balloon and get it as smooth as possible without ripping it. 🎈 USE A STURDY STAND Your base matters! Make sure the column is stable, especially for outdoor events m. We use a wide heavy base for all@our outdoor events 🎈 THINK ABOUT PICKUP BEFORE YOU BUILD If the client is keeping the stand, use a stand designed to stay with them. It saves you from having to make another trip just to retrieve equipment. 🎈 OUTDOOR INSTALL? HISHINE! If appropriate for the setup, I finish my balloons with HiShine to help keep them looking polished outside. Or I will spray before taking them inside so they look brand new for weeks. 🎈 CHECK EVERYTHING ONE MORE TIME Sizing. Colors. Pattern. Vinyl. Monogram. Height. Stability. Give the entire column one final look before it goes out the door. No deflators sneaking in there There’s a reason corporate clients LOVE classic balloon decor. It’s clean, polished, easy to customize with brand colors and logos, and makes a statement without being over the top. #balloontips #ballooneducation #classicballoondecor #classiccolumns #balloonbusiness ## Stats - **Views:** 17,313 - **Likes:** 399 - **Shares:** 0 - **Comments:** 12 ## Tags balloonbusiness, classicballoondecor, classiccolumns, balloontips, ballooneducation --- Copyright (c) Gondola
