Look at the Numbers
Perhaps the best part about owning a balloon business is that the demand for services and markup you can enjoy. With the help of an effective marketing plan, it's very easy math on sales targets and number of jobs to earn a six-figure revenue from a balloon business.
Yet, the job ideas mentioned here are just the tip of the iceberg. Here are other events that may require balloon decorating:

- Professional Event Manager Parties & Events
- HR Events
The markets listed above in a small city offer an annual revenue of around $100,000 to $150,000. And one of the best parts is that a balloon business is easy to learn and simple to get started. When you add on additional services such as character deliveries, event decor, photo booths, and selfie backdrops balloon businesses can easily grow multiple specialities and target audience niches.
You don't have to run around dressed as an animal or clown; of course, you can, or you can hire someone to do this part for you. Here are some great examples of characters that deliver balloons to all types of events:
- Known Cartoon Character Inspirations

This may seem comical, but in many parts of the country, balloon companies are paid $65 for a teddy bear to sing happy birthday and deliver balloons. You'll generate extra profit even if you hire someone to do this part.
And then there are holidays such as Valentine's Day. This day is significant for any company even remotely associated with celebrating love. In fact, many
balloon businesses earn $3,000 to $4,000 just on Valentine's Day. Then, there's graduation, New Year's, and other holidays that are common for parties that require balloon decorations.
