It is by far one of the best kept secrets when it comes to home based businesses.

A balloon business is recession proof, offers a 6 figure income, is fun, and has one of the highest success rates of any home based business in the country.

A balloon business is one of the strongest home-based businesses in the United States that can be started with very little money and allows you to earn significant income in less than 30 days.

Let’s just work with facts.

There are many markets that can be worked with a balloon business, each market offers a 6 figure income. You simply decide in which market or markets you want to work.

Let’s look at a couple of those markets:

Balloon decorations:

The fact is, high schools still spend an average of $2,000 to $3,000 on balloon decorations for their proms. Graduation papers are very easy to obtain, and graduation committees have many fundraisers that allow for large profits from these papers.

Weddings in the last 10 years have gone more towards balloon decorations with arches, centerpieces, runways, hearts and much more. The average wedding decorating job now averages over $2,300.00.

The best thing about balloon decorations is that the demand is much greater than the supply. There is very limited competition, and when the right marketing techniques are in place, it is very easy to dominate your local market.

This is the tip of the iceberg, as there are many more decorating needs, including:

  • office parties
  • Birthday parties
  • Radio and television banquets

Using the above markets alone, the median income for a balloon decorating business is $135,000.

The best thing about this business is that it is very simple to learn and very easy to start. But there is more, much more.

Character adds an additional $112,000 per year to your pocket on average. No, you don’t have to run around dressed as a clown or a bear, but you can, or you can hire the people necessary to do these jobs that offer huge income.

Let’s take a look at some of the characters that deliver balloons for all kinds of events:

  • Police Officer – This one can be fun.
  • Gorilla
  • Teddy bear
  • belly dancer
  • clowns

Okay, laugh, the fact is that in most of the country, balloon companies are paid an average of $65.00 for five minutes of work for a teddy bear to deliver balloons and sing happy birthday. Even if you are hiring someone to do your job, you are making a very good profit.

This market earns balloon companies an average of $112,000 per year.

Belly Dancer’s will run an average of twelve jobs per week with the average job being around $95.00. Even after paying the dancer, the balloon company makes over $35,000 a year from this character alone.

Valentine’s Day is a $3,000-$4,000 day. Even with the right people in place, you won’t handle all the jobs they require.

During the Christmas season, Santa Claus is hired on average thirty times for at least two hours for work at various trade parties. At $110.00 per hour, and paying Santa $25.00 per hour, the average balloon business gets a very significant Christmas bonus.

There are more, balloon sculptures, balloon drops just to mention a few. People are not going to stop spending money on their children’s birthdays. Office parties? Balloon companies do over 20 jobs a week with company birthday parties. Everyone contributes $5 or $10 and has a belly dancer or teddy bear during lunch. It’s fun and very profitable.

Some people decide to just work on one aspect of the many markets mentioned above. Since each market represents a six-figure income, it makes sense.

it’s a business When you get past that and realize how much fun this business is and how it can bring you and your family a huge income, you realize you have one of the strongest businesses in the country.

Even in a recession, people continue to spend money on their children, graduations, parties, weddings, and much more.

The balloon business also offers an amazing opportunity to start on a shoestring budget and earn very significant income within your first month or two.

Bartering with radio stations (who host banquets for their clients every week) allows you to generate very solid income almost immediately. You are paying pennies on the dollar for advertising while your competition wonders who you are and how this happens.

In today’s economy, there aren’t many businesses that can increase their revenue. Balloon companies are on the rise, and for good reason.
