A customer had approached us for a balloon decoration to celebrate a New born baby boy and he had chosen one of our decoration images. After we quoted our rates, the customer did not confirm the job. 

Later after a week, a local balloon decorator approached us for the "deco bubble balloons" used in the floating arch in the image. He was carrying our image without knowing it belonged to us. He did not even know the name of the product and was asking for 'big white balloons' while the product is known as 'deco bubbles'. 

This enquiry was again for a ' new born baby boy' celebration at the same venue and on the same date!! so we understood that the same customer had approached this decorator. 

First of all this decorator  did not know the name of the product. 

Secondly many decorators do not  even know how to use deco bubbles and modelling balloons . 

Thirdly, these deco bubbles need Helium. This decorator claims that he has Helium suppliers in town who can inflate balloons with Helium. Its a lie. No one else, except us,  uses Helium in balloons, as far as we know. Many in India , use the flammable and explosive Hydrogen gas, to make the balloons float. They illegally use Hydrogen as it costs 1/20th of the cost of Helium!

Fourthly, coming back to the cost part, in the image we have used 8 deco bubbles that costs Rs200 per balloon for the floating arch. Then we have used 10” white, 5” white, 12” polka dot printed balloons , Light Blue modelling balloons ( that comes in 100s bag and costs over Rs450) , white modelling balloons( that again comes in 100s bag and costs Rs450) , Crescent moon foil balloon  ( that costs Rs250 each) , Yep its a boy foil balloon ( Rs175) and a super shape baby foil balloon that costs Rs250 each . 

So we hardly need to point out that its impossible to create  a visually stunning decoration with balloons, at a lesser cost.

There was a call last week from a customer, who wanted a Minnie theme balloon decoration. We asked her to take a look at our photo gallery in our web site www.merabubbly.com

The customer chose one ( the image displayed here) and wanted a quote so that she could compare the prices with other decorators in our city in India

In the image, for the Minnie balloon column, we used ( from top) :
Super shape Minnie Foil balloon
5” Round Black balloons
5” Round Pink Balloons
11” Round Polka dots Pink
9” Round white in middle of polka dot balloons
160Q modelling balloons Pink used as bubble around the centre white balloon
For the hands: 350Q onyx black modelling balloon used, apart from 160Q white modelling balloon, 5” Round white for the gloves
Then below polka skirt, 260Q modeling balloon Pink
260Q modeling balloon Pearl Magenta
10” Round balloon Baby Pink
12” Round balloon Fuchsia

Its impossible for any other local balloon decorator in India to create a similar décor with just the round balloons available in the market. This being so, we wonder how one can compare a good balloon decoration with a substandard one!
