Balloon prices are rising — don’t let your margins shrink.

Most major latex brands have raised their prices by 5–10% recently. We believe you deserve to know — and be paid what you're worth.

Here’s how to confidently update your pricing and protect your profit:


✅ 1. Run the numbers

Go through your most popular products or services. Are you still charging what you were 6 months ago?
If supply prices are up, your prices should reflect that.


✅ 2. Add value, then adjust

Instead of just raising rates, remind clients of the value you provide:
✔️ Premium balloon quality
✔️ Design expertise
✔️ Lasting installations
✔️ Seamless experience

Even a small price increase feels fair when framed around value.


✅ 3. Update your materials

Don’t forget to update:

  • Pricing on your website or booking forms

  • Client quote templates

  • Instagram highlights or brochures

  • Automated replies and service guides


✅ 4. Communicate clearly (and confidently)

A simple, friendly update might look like:

"Due to rising material costs across the industry, our updated pricing now better reflects the quality and care we put into every design. Thank you for your continued support!"

No need to apologise. Just be clear and kind.


✅ 5. Don’t wait too long

The longer you wait, the more margin you could be losing. Even small increases (like £5–£10 per job) make a big difference over time.

    The “Dangerous Balloons” Story Isn’t News - It’s a Wake-Up Call

    Let’s be honest: seeing “dangerous” and “balloons” in the same sentence can be damaging for our industry - not because the article is wrong, but because most consumers skim headlines and miss context.

    Inside the balloon industry, this story is everywhere. It’s being discussed in groups, shared in chats, and analysed in professional circles. Even a few national outlets like The Independent and The Sun have picked it up and repeated the core findings.

    But outside our community?
    Most consumers haven’t seen it - and won’t.

    That’s why panic achieves nothing.
    This isn’t a public relations crisis unless we turn it into one.
