🎈 4 HOURS. SO MUCH LEARNING. AND THE START OF A BRAND NEW JOURNEY! 🎈

Today’s one to one training session with Lauren was absolutely fab! 🥰

Lauren came along wanting to learn more about the balloon industry and how to get started, and we managed to cram A LOT into just four hours!

We covered:

🎈 Industry background and getting started
🎈 Suppliers and what to buy
🎈 Pricing your work
🎈 Some of the science behind balloons
🎈 Different balloon types and when to use them
🎈 Tools and equipment that actually make your life easier
🎈 The principles of building a professional balloon stack
🎈 Creating a balloon garland
🎈 Different ways to attach and install garlands
🎈 Plus LOTS of little tips that can save you time, money and mistakes!

And of course, Lauren could ask as many questions as she wanted along the way.

She couldn’t believe just how much there is to learn about balloons, or how much we managed to fit into four hours!

Now it’s over to Lauren to go away, practise what she has learnt and hopefully begin her own exciting journey with balloons. ❤️

It was such a pleasure having you Lauren!

If you’ve been thinking about learning balloons, whether you’re completely new, have been teaching yourself or already have a business and want to improve particular skills, our one to one training is completely tailored to YOU.

Our next availability is now from the end of September.

🎈 1:1 BALLOON TRAINING AT SENSE OF OCCASION 🎈

I’ve just realised I never shared Lauren & Vicky’s training day from back in June! 🤦‍♀️

They joined me for one of our private balloon training sessions and we packed LOTS into their four hours.

The beauty of our training is that there isn’t a set class that you have to follow.

It’s your training session, so we work at your pace and concentrate on the things YOU actually want to learn.

Lauren & Vicky worked on different styles of garlands on their own props. Attaching and styling them onto different props, techniques, finishing touches and lots more.

But it’s not just about learning how to make something look pretty.

Throughout the session I share all those little tips, tricks and shortcuts that I’ve picked up over the years. The things that save you time, save you money and, quite frankly, save you learning some things the hard way like I did! 😂

Our sessions are 4 hours long, which I’ve found is the perfect amount of time. Any longer and there is SO much information to take in that your brain is fried by the end of it!

And if four hours isn’t enough? We’ve had trainees come back for a second, third or even further session to keep building their skills.

I’ve had a couple of new training bookings come in this week, so our next availability is now looking like late September into October.

Whether you're completely new to balloons, already working in the industry or simply want to improve particular skills, your session can be completely tailored around you.

I am actually SO excited about this! 🙌🏼

Earlier this year I launched my 12 week live Business Edition course, created to help people turn their creativity and passion into an actual, profitable business.
And what I loved most was the mix of people who joined.

Some had been in the industry longer than me. Some were much newer. But everyone had reached a point where they wanted to grow, make changes and stop feeling stuck.

And honestly, some of the changes over those 12 weeks were incredible.
✨ Pricing with confidence
✨ Complete rebrands
✨ Taking on their own premises
✨ Making proper business decisions
✨ And probably the biggest one... actually believing in themselves and what they could build!

I am now taking EVERYTHING from those live Zoom sessions and turning it into a full online course that you can work through at your own pace, in your own time. Yes it requires lots of brain power and caffeine!

No waiting for the next live course. No trying to fit your life around Zoom calls. Just all of the business knowledge, tools and support there when you are ready for it.

If you want to be the first to know when it goes live AND get an exclusive launch day discount, sign up to our emails.

A little behind the scenes update... 👀

After months of planning and creating, we're finally getting The Business Edition built onto an online platform with the help of Apriel Louise - the online marketing queen!

Everyone who joined our original course will receive FREE access as a thank you for being part of it from the very beginning. 💕

This isn't another course teaching you how to build balloons... it's a course teaching you how to build a successful balloon business.

From branding, pricing and marketing to systems, social media, enquiries, AI and growing a profitable business – it's everything I wish I'd known when I started.
I genuinely can't wait to share it with you all. This is going to be something really special. 🚀

Super bloody proud of Rachel's Balloons & Gifts

One of our ladies on the live coaching course, but not only that, she works with us at Sense of Occasion and is a very good friend of mine! Massive congratulations.

Couldn't think of anyone who deserves it more!

There is no such thing as competition in my world. The people at the very top are collaborating, and this is the finest example of it.

✨ HEADING INTO WEEK 5 ✨

Honestly… this course has already become so much more than I expected it to be 🥹

Every Sunday night, I jump onto Zoom with balloon business owners from different stages of their journey, some brand new, some wanting to finally turn their passion into a REAL profitable business.

And the growth I’m already seeing in just 4 weeks is incredible.

We’ve covered:
🩷 Branding & standing out
🩷 Confidence & mindset
🩷 Social media strategy
🩷 Google business & visibility
🩷 Content planning
🩷 Business foundations that ACTUALLY matter

And now heading into Week 5, the girls are already:
✨ charging properly
✨ showing up consistently
✨ gaining confidence
✨ getting clearer on their brand
✨ attracting better enquiries
✨ finally understanding the BUSINESS side of balloons

This isn’t about teaching another garland.

This is for the people who KNOW they are capable of more but feel stuck trying to figure it all out alone.

If you’re amazing creatively but struggling with:
• consistency
• confidence
• pricing
• visibility
• branding
• enquiries
• growth

…then this is exactly why I created The Business Edition.

We are only 4 weeks in, so there are still 9 live calls left PLUS all recordings are available to catch up on 👏

UK based live Zoom calls every Sunday at 8PM 🇬🇧
Plus a live 1:1 session with me at the end of the programme.

After 8 years building Sense of Occasion into an established business with a team, premises, corporate clients & fully booked weekends… I wanted to create the course I WISH existed when I started.

If you want in, just comment BUSINESS or send me a message 🩷

I absolutely, love 1:1 training days! Our students walk away with sooooo much knowledge and fire in their bellies to go away and start creating content.

1:1 days are built completely around you and what you would like to learn, and you can walk away with confidence, money and time saving tips.

Thanks so much to .balloons for trusting me with your learning. I hope your little business booms!

Yesterday I met with Ree! She has had her own balloon business for a long time, and she wanted help moving her website in the right direction. So we did some 1:1 time to get focussed!
We talked through lots of back ground tools to help her business, and managed to get set up.
Such a productive few hours! She is joining us all on the 13 week live balloon business coaching course! If you still want to join our first zoom call is recorded so it is easy to catch up.
There are flexible payment options too! Drop me a message and I can send you the details.
