What Event Props Should a New Balloon Business Buy?

When starting a balloon business, buy props that work across several themes instead of filling your storage with highly specific designs.

1. A versatile sailboard backdrop

A neutral sailboard backdrop can be restyled with balloons, vinyl and florals for birthdays, weddings and baby showers.

2. Cake stands or plinths

Different heights help create a balanced display and provide space for cakes, favours or themed decorations.

3. Light up numbers

4ft light up numbers allow you to offer a higher-value add-on for milestone birthdays and anniversaries.

4. A treat wall

A reusable treat wall can be adapted for sweets, favours, drinks or branded gifts.

5. A shimmer wall

Shimmer panels create a large photographic background and pair naturally with balloon garlands and neon signs.

What to consider before buying

  • Will it fit in your vehicle?
  • Can one person set it up?
  • How much storage does it need?
  • How many different themes can it serve?
  • How quickly can it recover its cost?
