Thank you so much for revealing the financial details of your wonderful business. Thanks so much for breaking everything down and providing insights into how the business works financially! It was such a blessing to learn the real costs and profits behind this type of business. I know this is your personal experience, but it really explained a lot. I learn a lot from you and your videos, and I just wanted to say thank you!! Be blessed!
You are a jewel! Thank you so much for this video!!! Not a lot of event decorators are willing to be as transparent as you have been. Again thank you!!!!
Thank you for sharing! I have a full time job and I am considering starting a baby business (on the weekends) in decoration with either just rentals for chair sashes and chair covers or just making 6ft signs surrounded by balloon garlands. What do you think? I don't know how to start a business. I would be starting from scratch. You are my event decorating role model! Thank you so much for your classy, videos!! I have been doing event planning connected with my job the last 3 to 4 years for small events.
Awesome video for reflection! Your such an inspiration! I honestly think knowing this information is going to help you so much more in 2024 is going to end up being a better year!
I'm in Jamaica, but your transparency is soooooooooo appreciated. It's giving me an expectation of how to get started and what to do. I did a set up at home based on some of your DIY. I also am reusing the balloons based on your tip on how to pull those knots. I so wish I could share the outcome with you
Your transparency is so so appreciated!! I was also spending a crazy amount in expenses. Just realized I need to have a couple stages I offer again and again so I reuse everything
This is super awesome that you did this. Because this is no joke and people do not understand pricing. People under price themselves alllll the time and can't stay afloat. I say this is because they are desperate for client and want to show people they can actually do this.... in hopes of getting more clients. So they will take a $250 balloon arch... spend $100 on balloons, rent truck for $75, pay for storage $120. Paint or buy a cover for the wall $25 and really they just paid for the persons event.... but, they got a picture. I know this because I did this exact thing. Last year I finally produce $170k but, a lllooottttt of that was tax, material, travel, paying the team, my office space, my storage space... so I got back really nothing... I paid more in the buisness. The expense are a killer and clients and other decorators do not understand this. They want everything for $500... lol So far ive been having clients use what I have... and buy as least as I can.❤❤ Thanks you.... I just brought your balloon pricing sheet... save me a million dollars and a years worth of time.
This is one of the BEST comments! You are spot on! I really hope that people read this. You absolutely have to pay attention to how much you spend on decorating a client's event. And... Congratulations on hitting 170K! That's quite an accomplishment 👏🏽.
Hi Lonielle, I want to thank you so much for this video. It was amazing information and it is just what I needed. I accidentally, yes, accidentally started a balloon business in the last month. It was started from a birthday party that I had done and I posted my balloon garland on Facebook and then it is starting to build from there. I am still an amateur, but I look at videos and practice all the time. hopefully I will become as good as you arein the future
I'm sure you'll be better than me in the future! Have you signed up for one of my classes or a consultation yet? That will help if you have any questions. Here's the link - www.yeseventdecor.com/classes.
Thanks for sharing! How do you categorize each part of your business( to see which profits more). As in, is there a way to set that up in Quick Books,or do you keep constant track through some other program or your accountant? Thanks!
Thank you for sharing! What did you mean by Canva shutting you down? They don’t allow you to use their welcome sign templates? Or you are not allowed to sale?
I watch your channel religiously, would you discuss how to recruit reliable employees. Each time I reach out to hire someone, it does not last...What am I doing wrong?
Hi Connie! Have you signed up for one of my classes or a consultation yet? That will help to get your question answered. Here's the link - www.yeseventdecor.com/classes.
Love this video!! Thanks for sharing! Looking into a business credit card. Do you have to keep inventory of your balloons? What is considered cost of goods sold?
Hi Arnessa! Have you signed up for one of my classes or a consultation yet? That will help to get your question answered. Here's the link - www.yeseventdecor.com/classes.
How can I schedule an appointment with you just to ask you questions? This was my favorite video ever! You are so generous with your information. God bless you! You are so motivational just by being 100% authentic. If there's a way for you to have a chat/virtual tea, etc, with some prospective entrepreneurs, let me know? I'd be happy to even suggest a group chat and charge us to attend, but I would love a 30 minute free forum q&a with you!
You can schedule a consultation with me. Here’s the link to purchase it - www.yeseventdecor.com/classes/consultations. Once you purchase the consultation, we’ll schedule a date and time.
Sprinkle of love This is truly amazing. You are a unique person. Thank you for all your help. We are truly blessed to be able to watch you and learn from you.❤
Have you thought about getting a space instead of storage. I think because we don't or can't see our inventory we make the error of buying items we already have. Also getting a truck instead of renting.
thank you for your transparency. Your information was very useful. I need help setting up a website. Is that something I can figure out or should I hire someone to do that?
Thank you so much for your expertise. I’m grateful for you sharing your information. May God continue to bless your business and you reach your goal plus more.
Thank you for sharing this with us. It's helps me put things in a much better perspective when it comes to my business. Just one question - how do you normally pay yourself? Weekly, biweekly, and how? Thanks so much. This has been so helpful.
Glad it was helpful! Have you signed up for one of my classes or a consultation yet? That will help to get your question answered. Here's the link - www.yeseventdecor.com/classes.

Thank you very much for this great video. I used to be a silent watcher, but this time, I really wanted to thank you. I just started a balloon decorating business as a side hustle, and I have done 2 events already, and your videos are of great help to me since I am Self thought. ❤❤❤❤❤
You are so awesome and I pray God continues to abundantly bless you in health, in your spirit, in you finances and with wisdom knowledge and understanding. Thank you so much for all your help. ❤

How do you price yourself? Asking because I'm thinking about starting a party decorating business but a side hustle for now

You are so welcome!
Thanks for sharing! How do you categorize each part of your business( to see which profits more). As in, is there a way to set that up in Quick Books,or do you keep constant track through some other program or your accountant? Thanks!
I add my categories in Quickbooks directly.
Thank you for sharing! What did you mean by Canva shutting you down? They don’t allow you to use their welcome sign templates? Or you are not allowed to sale?
I'm allowed to sell my templates. But I can't sell templates with Canva's pro elements.

Have you thought about getting a space instead of storage. I think because we don't or can't see our inventory we make the error of buying items we already have. Also getting a truck instead of renting.
Oh, I can't wait to get a studio! For now, I have moved all of my inventory into my house. So, now I can see exactly what I have.
@YesEventDecor oh that's real good. I got a storage but I'm thinking of letting it go and just come back to my house but I'm working on organizing
What did you mean by Canva shut you down?
Long story. I wanted to use Canva Pro features with my welcome sign templates but couldn’t.
thank you for your transparency. Your information was very useful. I need help setting up a website. Is that something I can figure out or should I hire someone to do that?
You’re welcome! I manage my website myself. If it’s within your budget, you can hire someone to do it. If you need a referral, let me know.
@YesEventDecor hello, what website did use to create your website, thank you for the great content!
Thank you so much for all you share. And taking the time to explain in detail
