Personal Note: My life has been a roller coaster of good and bad.  On May 6, 2009 I lost my mom to congestive heart failure and have been recovering from that loss while getting ready for our second child to be born.  I thought changing the format of the newsletter would allow me to make post quicker, but with all that has occurred this past month, I happy to get this out.  As you can see I've been busy writing and trying my best to be productive.  My heart is sadden with the loss of my mom, but its full of joy with the new one arriving this June.   So with that said here this months newsletter.... enjoy.

Setting up my balloon apron - People are always asking, “Who arranges all the balloons in my apron and how long does it take me?”  Well, for the longest time it was just me sorting all the balloons, and then Michelle would help me.  Now, I am training my two year old son to help. Read more

How to Keep Working while at the Hospital
- The day was like any other day, but in minutes, the norm would twist 180 degrees to the abnormal.  Little things like a ring of a telephone will make your heart race, sleep becomes a luxury, and the fatigue of explaining the circumstance becomes clouded as days pass. Precious time, which once was, is delegated to high priority business opportunities are quickly delayed by a child asking you to play.  That is how quickly life turns when a family member is in the hospital.  Read more…

Do Entertainers Need Liability Insurance? Insurance is one of those things in life that you hope you will never need to use, but if something does happen, you have it. Early in my entertainment career, I was only working one or two birthday parties a month and the thought of insurance never entered my mind.  Like most beginning entertainers, we think it will never happen to us, it only happens to other people. Nevertheless, as your business grows you start to realize that entertainment insurance is not a negative word but a positive word.  It really is your safety net just to protect your business and family from the unthinkable.

I Cannot Pay my Bills, I am Unemployed or Just Retired so I will Twist Balloon Animals and Make Money as my
New Job
- While twisting balloon animals at a restaurant, a customer will turn to a friends and say, “Hey,
Bob that’s a job for you, twisting balloons animals.” What did I do to give them the impression that my
skills were so common that a layman can just pickup a bag of balloons and twist animals?  Yes, I spent hours perfecting my balloon twisting so it does look easy and effortless. That is what a professional does. Look at professional athletes on TV, then go out to your local playground, and attempt those athletic moves.  Better yet, video tape them and you will see that you are not a thing of grace and beauty, but an uncoordinated blob with arms and legs flaying in the wind.

How to Draw Big Crowds to your Library Show using Social Networking and Basic Marketing Techniques -  Every entertainer dreams of having hundreds of people turnout to watch their library performance, but deep down fear that nobody will show. In a down economy, both the entertainer and library are gambling that people will be doing more around their community then jetting off to vacation resorts. Local advertising and word of mouth become critical to make sure that people attend community events. Read more...

35 Creative Tips for a Successful Grand Opening - I am finding many business entrepreneurs have great insight about their new business, but lack the marketing skills required to have a successful grand opening.  With that said, I put together a list of 35 Creative Tips for having a Successful Grand Opening.  These tips are in no particular order and are just that, tips or ideas. Each item can be expanded and built upon, but are designed to get you to think hard about your grand opening celebration. Read more…

Crowd Drawing Balloon Décor for Grand Opening and Granniversariesies - I am over here balloon display, is an oversized balloon décor that draws the attention of people from far away, beyond the parking lot (maybe even the freeway or main road). A visual marker, that lets people know that something special is happening in this area.  This design does have a minor flaw that the higher you go, the smaller things appear, but it can be overcome by using grouping and not just a single floating column.   In this case, more is better. Sure, one balloon strand will show people where you are, but five of them will increase their curiosity. Ask yourself; is the purpose of the balloon décor for decoration, giving directions, or gathering new crowds of people, not yet aware of the grand opening? Read more...

Improving Your Trade Show Traffic by Drawing Attention to your Booth with Pretty People - Face it; you would rather talk to a well-groomed individual who is athletic, attractive, and fits into their clothing, than an individual who is sloppy, smells of cigarettes, and clothes that are ten years out of date. As a business, we spend thousands of dollars making sure our literature is accurate and has no grammatical errors, products that are being displayed are in perfect condition, and do not forget the trade show booth. We take extra precaution to protect the display from nicks and scratches when shipping. We will confront show management if the tradeshow booth rug is dirty and will insist that housekeeping clean it immediately. We want a presentation that wows the audience and generates leads, all accomplished with your existing trade show team. Read more...
