Balloons are a popular element of the festive decor of the room and a great toy for children of any age. Even a bunch of 5-10 bright soaring figures looks quite impressive. At the same time, the cost is minimal, and you can use balls in the interior in a variety of compositions. Filling a large number of these rubber products with air is not always easy. Yes, and they look in a "drooping" form, they are not very attractive. It is quite another thing to inflate the balls with helium, and then they will soar under the ceiling for a long enough time.
Balloons with helium - an idea for a business?
It would seem that goods for the holidays are not the best way to quickly enrich themselves. But if thematic souvenirs and Christmas decorations are truly seasonal items, then balloons are a more versatile accessory. They are ordered as a complement to the main gift and to decorate the interiors. At the same time, at the initial stage, this business does not require a large starting capital. In order to inflate the balloons with helium, only the ornaments themselves and gas in cylinders will be required. You can start this business on your own or with one partner. At first, the property of your company may well be stored in your home pantry. But do not forget that simply inflating balloons with helium is not enough. Many customers are demanding on aero design, so it makes sense to learn how to create shapes and large compositions.
How and where to inflate balloons with helium?
Helium is a gas that is colorless and odorless, absolutely safe for human health. Accordingly, balls can be inflated with them in a room of any size or in an open area. You can buy helium cylinders of different volumes, for use in everyday life the most popular containers are 10 and 40 liters. As for the balls, today they can be found in any design, in various shapes and sizes. It makes sense to study the offers of several major suppliers. Then it’s not difficult to choose among them the one with a decent assortment, reasonable prices, and good selling conditions.
If helium balls are needed for more than one evening, it makes sense to additionally process them with highflot. This is a special substance that fills the porous structure of the product when stretched and prevents the rapid release of gas. Balls processed using this technology can sag for up to one week, slightly decreasing in size.
To the cylinder you need to purchase a set of nozzles for balls of different types and sizes. If you need to inflate several products to the same size, you will need a sizer. This device is a peculiar form.
It’s not difficult to do it yourself, you can find it on sale. The base of the ball is fixed on the nozzle, after which you should open the balloon and monitor the amount of incoming helium. As soon as the product takes the desired shape, the gas is blocked, and the base is tied with tape or thread.
How much does it cost to inflate balloons with helium, and features of the "air" business
With proper advertising, selling helium balloons can quickly turn into a profitable business. The average price for one accessory without processing is from 30-40 rubles, foil pieces, depending on size, can cost from 100 to 500 rubles. Highflot processing adds about 20 rubles to the price of the product. Many experts in this field advise to stretch the ball before filling with helium, blowing it with ordinary air. This will reduce the volume of gas, as well as better process the product. However, such savings also have a flip side: inflating balloons with helium is much easier than using the power of your lungs. In addition, the expenditure of physical effort and time does not always pay off with the cost of gas left unused.
