Product Description
A "hands-on" training manual that covers the balloon business from start to finish. If you are interested in starting a profitable home-based business you have found a "must read" book to get you started. The balloon beginner will learn what size helium tank is needed for the number of balloons you are inflating, and how to properly inflate and design balloon sculptures. Watch your profits soar as you sell six foot "balloon people" that look like a clown, a bride and groom, snowman, or Santa Claus and much more. This easy to read book covers marketing, and pricing as well what brand and size of balloons to purchase. The author shares many valuable tips to save you time and money as an entrepreneur or for personal enjoyment. This book has received great reviews from students who have attended Ruth Younger's workshops. The students fondly refer to it as "their balloon bible".

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book!, January 11, 2000
I actually found this book to be quite helpful. I've beentrying to find a good guide to help me decorate for parties andweddings on the side, but haven't had any luck in bookstores. They'realways too expensive, or have too many pictures without explanations, or too much explanation without any pictures. This one is perfectly balanced and to the point.

4.0 out of 5 stars A First Rate Manual, January 9, 2000
By Betty I. Adams (California) - See all my reviews
This very informative book will take all the hassle and worry out of starting your own business. The author gives excellent detail about office equipment and set up and displays a sense of humor in describing her own philosophy of starting and pursuing her venture into the art of balloon decorating. The easy to follow instructions and many photographs make this step- by-step book a 'must have' for starting your own balloon business.

I through several parties, and this book has made me the hit of my town. I found the balance between pictures and step by step instruction to be perfect. I was able to easily follow the given ideas, as well as generate many more of my own.

I hope she expands into other areas.

A disappointing book considering its price. The photographs are in black and white (despite its glossy cover) and the decorating methods seem rather dated. Read more
