Balloon twisting can be a great addition to festivals, community events, holiday parties, and family-friendly corporate events. The large variety of designs that they can offer makes them great with a bunch of different age groups. Due to the limited amount of equipment needed, they are also very flexible in regard to the performance space.
Every performer sets their own travel preference. You’ll want to ask them directly prior to booking to discuss their ability to travel to your event as well as any associated travel fees.
If you have the skills, balloon twisting is a great business idea! Balloon twisters are requested for birthday parties, corporate events, festivals, community events, and more. Typically, they charge around $100-$200 an hour.
Balloons for twisting come in a variety of sizes and are made specifically to resist breaking when being shaped and handled. Qualatex and Betallatex are well-known brands of balloons that are highly recommended. Balloons also come in different sizes and lengths. You’ll need to test out different balloons to find out which brand and size work best for you.
There are many very helpful resources online to help you learn how to make balloon animals and other designs. One of the best resources to learn different designs is YouTube. Balloon twisting definitely takes practice and video lessons allow you to see the creation of each shape and pause or rewind when needed.
Yes, you should definitely have a way to show your balloon art to potential clients. We recommend using high-quality photos, video examples, as well as reviews from past clients to show your value to new potential clients.
Insurance is not a requirement to be a balloon twister. However, having performers’ insurance is never a bad idea! In fact, some clients may require that you have insurance before they book you.
