The fixtures do wear with use.  First, try using a new fixture.  Every 500 count YoYo Balloons bag comes with a free fixture with clips (#7500CF).  If they continue to break, then the answer above also applies here. Stretching the neck of the balloon during clipping will guarantee a tight seal.

The strings are made to hold the weight of 1-1/2 oz of water.  The YoYo Balloon is easier for a beginner to use if there is a little more water in the balloon.  However, if the strings are breaking, use lesser water.  An over-aggressive customer may also have a problem with breaking the string.  It is good to keep a supply of extra rubber bands on hand for good customer service.  During storage, keep the strings away from direct heat and sunlight.

There are several options here, depending on your location and the amount of space you have in your booth.  ALWAYS KEEP BALLOONS OUT OF THE SUN or extreme heat.

Idea #1 Keep a supply in a large dark plastic bag under the counter until you’re ready to sell them.  You need a few for display. Always remember to play with your YoYo Balloon when selling it. Keep it moving……it will bring in sales! This product needs you to display some action and have fun with the balloon!

Idea #2 Purchase a small child’s pool or large bucket and float your YoYo Balloons in water.  Kids love to get their hands wet as they reach in the water to pick out their YoYo Balloon.  Some of our customers have put fountains in the pool to keep their YoYo Balloons wet and cool.

First, remember you want the balloon to fit easily into the hand.  Over-inflating the YoYo Balloon may result in a pear shape.
TIP: Use LUKEWARM WATER when filling the balloons.  Make sure the tip of the pump is in the round part of the balloon before you begin to pump in the water and air.

Store your YoYo Balloons in black trash bags, punching a few holes on the trash bags for air.  Put the bags in a cool place.  The bottom of a closet is the best place if you do not have a basement.  Some customers have old refrigerators in the garage they can set at low temperatures and store their YoYo Balloons.

Not necessarily.  Pull the pump apart and straighten the rubber seal with your fingers.  This should improve its performance.  You can also purchase new rubber seals under our YoYo Balloon Accessories section.  If you are inflating more than 500 YoYo Balloons a week, the Clear Piston Pump (CPP) is the best choice.

Yes, you can order custom designed YoYo Balloons in bags of 500 per design.  We need camera-ready, black & white, copy of the imprint you need.  It takes 6 weeks to process any custom orders.  Check our Custom Imprint YoYo Balloon section on our website.

Yes.  You may purchase our YoYo Balloons with designs in packages of one color in the 100 count bag or the 500 count bag.  The pricing is the same as the assorted bag.  Please contact our office if you would like to place a specific order.

Some of our vendors string a wire across the front of their booth and hang the balloons up with hooks.  Some have old-fashioned hat racks.  Some have used rotating hook racks.  The large vendors of the YoYo Balloon have found that they need both the display and hanging balloons to create the effect that something exciting is going on.  Make your booth look exciting!

Children love balloons.  Children love to play with water.  Combine the two and you cannot lose.  Find a container that will fit your space, fill it with water, and add your inflated YoYo Balloons.  Some vendors use the small blow up swimming pools for this.  Reaching for their YoYo Balloon in water makes it an added treat on a hot day.  It will keep your balloons cool as well!  Once in a while stir them up so that the same YoYo Balloons side do not stay on top.

It is important to make an impression on your customer.  Everyone wants to be a part of the latest action.  This can be achieved by lining up more than one display on a table.  Make it look interesting! Maybe set them at different angles.  This will not take the place of the demonstration of the YoYo Balloon, but it will help enhance what you are doing.

The best advertising you can have is someone, especially a child, playing with the YoYo Balloon.  If children are walking around the show playing with your YoYo Balloons, other children will see them and want one too.  It is worth the price of the advertising.

$1.00 is the standard price for the YoYo Balloon.  Most parents do not think long about spending $1.00.  It is quick, requiring no change.  In a large crowd, dollar bills can be collected easily with no demand for change.  You may also want to set your price according to the location and events that you have, you can easily get $2.00 – $3.00 per YoYo Balloon.  Set the price in the morning and keep it for a few hours.  Do not be afraid to lower your price in order to increase sales.

Analyze your show.  Look at how much is offered to the children.  Each child will have an average of $5.00 to spend.  Be realistic. Only a percentage will buy your product.  Remember, it is better to sell out than to have merchandise leftover.  If you do have YoYo Balloons leftover at the end of the day, put them in dark trash bags and store in a cool place.  Try to sell them out the next day.

Everywhere you go people will want know where to get the YoYo Balloons.  A wise vendor will see the potential of working their way into a distributor by selling them to these customers. You be their supplier!  Contact the schools and churches in your area.  You could be the source of these YoYo Balloons for their fundraisers.  Begin by having Party Packs and 100 count bags in the booth with you. Plan ahead.  You could have additional income from this type of sale.
