Anyone Making Money With Samir's Balloon Idea?

[MartinBuckley]

I was just wondering if anyone who bought Samir's balloon ebook has taking action and made any money with his idea?

Thanks,
Marty

I did. I made $176 on mother's day. My husband owns a convenience store and we already sell the type of balloons Samir talks about in his book so it was easy for us to target the businesses he mentions. We would have made more but we ran out of balloons. Also, one of the suppliers mentioned has better prices than our current vendor so I ordered more balloons yesterday and paid $0.20 less per balloon.

Thank you Samir for a wonderful opportunity. God bless you and I hope you recover quickly.

How cool for you Anita I'm in a small town, so not a lot of bakeries, and some are franchises, so not sure how that would work. Does anyone have any thoughts about that? As it is, there's a few independents, so I'm looking into this further where they're concerned.

For small areas (or even large areas)..Consider starting a balloon bouquet delivery service for special occasions...main message balloon with 5 or 6 additional smaller ones. Advertise with fliers or a simple local based web site.

Even smaller towns and rural areas celebrate the special days/holidays, and birthdays.

My little local area has approximately 700 homes and weekly community paper automatically announces birthdays occurring in that period and the list runs pretty much constantly at 60 every week.

A delivered bouquet at say $25 with a cost of about $5 would return $20 (less gas cost for delivery)...just 10 bouquets would return $200....not too shabby for blowing up 60 balloons and delivering them to a few houses.....would cover the mortgage payment, or the utilities, or car payments, or even a nice little summer vacation.

We have a handful of bakeries in my area and a TON of convenience stores. However, the convenience stores are not the small owner type. They are a large chain that cover our tri-state area.

If I could become a mylar helium balloon vendor for them....my wife and I would be golden. My goodness there are 9 of them within a 15 mile radius of my home.

This business idea is one of the best I've read about in a while.

All the best to you Samir. Thank you for sharing.

I started on April 29th and have been averaging $50 to $70 daily. I wish there were more bakeries in my neighborhood but Phil just gave me a great idea. I live close to a major expo center where they host all kinds of events and if I can be the balloon vendor for just a fraction of the events, it would change my fortune. Thank you Phil!

I read that the shower environment also has certain IONS (as I recall) floating around in some form or other, that have some kind of effect on how the brain functions. These IONS (in the water vapor?) are also part of the reason for the increase in creativity in the shower.

I now looked online + cannot find any reference to this phenom. But I KNOW I heard it somewhere before.

Phil?
