Balloons 101: For Business Owners

We've designed something to support our small business community - a hands-on, in person workshop where we will teach you HOW to create your own balloon garland.

Who is this for?
This hands-on class is for small business owners only! This class is not open to anyone wanting to learn how to create balloon garlands to sell for profit. This class is for small business owners only, who would like to learn how to make balloon garlands for their storefront.

What will we be covering?
In addition to hands on instruction by Ashley, we will review balloon basics along with common mistakes and you'll be supplied with a resource list. Each attendee will get a chance to learn how to inflate balloons and assemble balloons, with the intention of creating balloons for their business events.

What are attendees walking away with?
Each attendee will get a hardcopy workbook that is full of everything we will cover in class, an electric balloon pump, and a 6' balloon garland - that we will create in class together! My goal is that you will walk away with the knowledge and tools to create balloons for your business.

Why am I doing this class?
We are honored to work with so many small businesses in the community. We've done balloons for all kinds of events - grand openings, trunk shows, holiday's, anniversary's. But as a fellow retail small business owner, I know that the economy is really tough. And as much as businesses might want to have balloons for their events, it's just not always within budget. I want to give back to our small businesses! I know that balloons can attract customers and add a lot of visual interest to a storefront. Of course, we'd still love to help with balloons for our small business friends!! But this class came to be as my way to help our small businesses create balloons on their for their store events when they need to save some dollars.

WHEN: Monday, June 29
TIME: 11:00-1:00
WHERE: The Graceful Host Shop, 218 Lee Lane, Covington, La 70433
