Subject: FW: Display of Foil Balloons and Other Advice Needed


Dear Tami,
A good way to display foil balloons is to use RMS Super Builders.  One
RMS Super Builder (5' X 10') will hold forty-eight 18" foils. The RMS
Super Builder Display weighs very little when loaded with foils. It can
be hung the long way or the short way.  If you need more display space,
just connect two RMS Super Builders together, again the long way or the
short way, or both!

Further, as it appears you are planning to continue your rentals, we
have several customers in the rental/balloon business who are now
leasing prefabricated foil balloon walls/backdrops made with RMS Super
Builders.  These large RMS Super Builder walls can be folded for
transport and/or can be stored in large mattress bags.

As you know, air-filled foils last a long time. With this idea in mind,
air-filled foil balloon walls/backdrops are becoming more popular for
retail stores, malls and as props for some  events.  Foil walls are more
expensive to the customer, so leasing "the look" at a lesser price is
often of interest.
Your initial investment can be recouped from your repeated rentals of
these items.

Renting out a prefabricated foil balloon wall is somewhat of a a novel
idea, but it's catching on!  Why don't you give it a try?

Good luck with all of your plans.
