Tony the Balloon Guy, Ocoee Balloon Artist / Balloon Twister

Thursday, January 26th, 2012

More than a thousand families like yours have invited our family business to celebrate birthdays with them. We are also a favorite at school, church, company and corporate events, including fairs, festivals, holiday parties and grand openings.

At special events throughout the Tampa Bay area and Central Florida, we provide:

So how do people get entertainment for parties and special events?

  • You can pay an agent, party/event planner, total entertainment company, or other middleman a commission on each entertainer they hire for you. Even if they refer to “our face painters” or “our balloon artists,” they are charging you to hire someone. Sometimes even the person answering the phone is getting a cut, and only being paid if you book the party or event! Of course, in this modern Internet Age, you could hire entertainers yourself and NOT pay commissions. Wouldn’t it be funny if a middleman hired US for you, when you could have booked us yourself without paying a commission?
  • You can spend time hiring entertainers yourself. By cutting out the middleman, you save the commissions. But you still pay full price for each entertainer if you’re hiring more than one, such as a balloon artist AND a face painter.
  • We can provide your event entertainment, and give you a DISCOUNT for combining entertainers. You save money because WE’RE the professional entertainers. And you can read our testimonials and/or see us in action at one of our weekly open-to-the-public appearances (click here for days, times and locations) to check out the quality of our entertainment!

Please be sure to get our quote before you book entertainment for your event!

Have a fun day!

The “Original” Balloon Guy – Citrus Park Balloon Artist/Twister

Wednesday, January 11th, 2012

Author’s Note: Because the following content has been copied without my permission and reworked and republished by an unscrupulous and unimaginative person, I am re-posting it with this notice to assert my ownership rights under US Copyright Law, and to discourage future theft. The original posting, from December 16, 2011, can be found here.

There is no shortage of balloon artists in the Tampa Bay area.

Unfortunately, many of them are the same.

In fact, there is a bay area company that TRAINS balloon artists to all be the same, then charges restaurants to use these youngsters, while the twisters themselves work just-for-tips.

One of the head trainers for that company left and started his own entertainment company. But although at least he PAYS “his” entertainers, it’s still just more of the same – him sending other people to entertain at parties while he bumps up the price to give himself a commission.

With all this sameness, it’s no wonder I (Tony the Balloon Guy) run into kids who ask for “the birds in the heart” or “the monkey in a tree,” like there are standard balloon sculptures instead of balloon twisters being true artists/entertainers!

I guess that’s why folks always seem so surprised when they see me at a party or event, and exclaim, “I’ve never seen anyone make balloons the way you do – and I’ve seen A LOT of balloon people!”

It doesn’t hurt that I usually have them saying this through laughter, either.

And if you also want a face painter, magic show, pony, fortune teller, or any combination of these, at a birthday party or other event, remember that ours is a FAMILY business, where the members of the family are the professional entertainers, so not only do we not charge a commission on each entertainment service, but we apply a DISCOUNT because you booked those services together!

Now THAT’S original!

Have a fun day!
