balloon decoration- look for quality and not quantity

Event on the 6th April at a leading hotel in our City. Occasion is first birthday girl.  Event manager convinced the customer to accept gold and red color balloons , reason he only had gold and red LED lights to make a banner. Note: Its not the customer's choice but the event manager's!!

What has the event manager promised the customer? 4 balloon poles , one arch and 6 sets of Helium bouquets for Rs10000. He said he had great difficulty convincing the customer to accept this budget stating he is going to use imported balloons and the customer expected more number of balloons for this price.

We on our part suggested as shown in the image 


This is how the event manager responded: " dont want all those accents, foil balloons... just make simple columns with only round balloons . Customer doesnt know anything about foil balloons or how incomplete the columns will look without foil balloons... customer expects 'more quantity'  than 'quality' and so just fill more balloons and match it with the budget!" Onceagain I could see my logic was not what he wanted to hear. We at bubbly balloons refused to accept the job as we do not do substandard balloon decoration jobs!   

Onceagain , we wonder why people flock to such knucklehead event managers?

know your event organizer

KNOW YOUR EVENT MANAGER: you will find our experience interesting:
Bubbly Balloons to customer: " Madam, you have called us regarding your child's birthday party". Customer: " Oh, yes, but i dont have time, you see! Please contact my event manager at 989... "
We went on to call the event organizer. He wanted to know what is the cost for ( decorating with) 200 balloons? we responded by saying that we charge as ‘per design’ basis and not as ‘per balloon’ basis , as we usually use different types, shapes , sizes of balloons and hence difficult to charge ‘per balloon’ basis. To this he said he wanted 3 balloons each on each table floating on ‘Nitrogen Gas’ . We corrected him by responding that balloons will not float with nitrogen gas. To this he said OK, its Hydrogen gas. Once again we corrected him by saying Hydrogen is an explosive , flammable and dangerous gas and one should only use helium to make the balloons float. He rudely responded ‘ its ok, it doent matter what gas you use, I want them to float’ 
We further explained that its necessary for a decorator to know what is the occasion , if it’s a birthday then whether it’s a first birthday or what is the age, whether it’s a boy or a girl , whether the customer has a theme , any color preference etc. I could see my logic was not what he wanted to hear. 

We fail to understand why people flock to such knucklehead event organizers who do not know anything about balloons.
Sometime back we met another event manager. He wanted a balloon arch in front of a restaurant . He asked us how many balloons would be there in an arch and we responded by saying around 250 balloons. While we were chatting, the customer walked in and asked the same question and to this the event organizer, believe us, responded by saying the balloon arch would have about 1000 to 1500 balloons. We made a quick exit and never returned!

What is the need to approach a professional balloon artist for a balloon decoration job?

Recently bubbly Balloons was asked by an event coordinator to visit a venue for a balloon decoration job. This event manager wanted a balloon arch at the entrance and wanted to know how many balloons would be there in a regular balloon arch of about 7 feet high. We explained that there would be approximately about 250 pieces of 11" Round balloons.  At that moment the customer walked in and he was asking the event manager to explain how big  would be the arch and with how many balloons would be in it. I got the shock of my life when the event manager answered ' at least 1500 balloons in an 7 feet balloon arch'.  We did not want to be a party to this event manager's unconvincing lie and so we did not take up this job.

Always approach a balloon artist for a balloon decoration job! Balloon decoration job involves choosing the a coordinating color, design, the appropriate balloon for the appropriate occasion as per the theme and none other than a professional balloon artist can handle such jobs.
