Frequently asked

How much should I charge per foot of balloon garland?

Typical US estimate: $20–$35/ft for organic garlands, with premium metros often charging more. Travel, setup, and premium materials should be billed separately.

Do I charge for travel?

Yes. Free within 15 miles is standard. Beyond that: $1.50/mile plus a $25 dispatch fee.

What is a fair rush fee for last-minute balloon jobs?

Under 7 days notice: consider a 20% surcharge. Under 48 hours, many decorators quote 30–40% depending on supply risk and schedule disruption.

Should I quote in the DM or send a PDF?

Use a PDF for serious inquiries. A clear branded quote makes scope, deposit, travel, and setup easier to approve than a loose DM number.

Do I include setup labor in the package price?

Itemize it. Clients see value, and you protect your margin if scope expands on the day.

How do I price arches vs garlands?

Arches: $35–$60/ft plus frame rental plus return trip if applicable. Garlands: linear foot only.

What if the client provides their own balloons?

Charge labor and setup only, with no material markup. Make it explicit in the quote so expectations are clear before installation day.

Do I charge sales tax on labor?

Depends on state and invoice structure. Materials and decor are often taxable; installation labor may be taxable or exempt depending on whether it is separately stated. Verify local rules before collecting tax.
