Balloon website versions

2010-09-19T10:48:00.001+01:00

Made possible by google's website optimiser service, as visitors log on to our website, they'll be presented with one of 8 different versions of our website. Here are the 8 different screen shots.

The differences are very small (i.e. some have press buttons, some have headlines, some have a minicart on the top left, the last one has the search button removed, some have an introduction text etc etc). Over the next few weeks we'll start to see which webpage produces the most sales. Just after we started we got a sale and the current winner shown from our leader boartd is ...

No headline, no text and no buttons.

Obviously not conclusive yet... but over time we'll get an outright winner.

Just thought I would use our online balloon designer program to design a balloon to let everyone know our online printed balloons designer program is working and functioning. This software is a really addictive feature to add to our live online shop. We are sure it will persuade people to buy balloons from us. We are currently reviewing the software and tweaking all the sections before making it a live feature. This really is the best online balloon designer software I've seen in the world at the moment.

Keeping up with the technology

2010-09-15T19:06:00.003+01:00

We've made big changes to the party and balloons website over the last few weeks. In order to stay popular with customers we need to display our company to users of new technology such as smartphones and ipads. Before christamas they'll be an invasion of tablets on the market akin to the ipad. We've updated out technology and now have access to iphones, blackberrys and Android portable software. To gain an understanding of all this new technology we've been incorporating all these devices to update our website. This also helps keep us ranked high within search engines. In fact we have climbed up the rankings significantly with the phrase "printed balloons" in the last few days.

As a business it's important to move with inovation. I've seen many businesses that are late in updating websites, not getting onto facebook because they didn't understand it and haven't yet got a google buzz account. This people won't see the huge benefits to their business as they only start to do anything about their IT until their business is struggling. I believe you only win if you stay ahead of the game and that's why we're geared up for the next 12 months in the direction of our IT business.

Now we have access to new technology we gain an understanding of customers needs and can present our ecommerce shop to a user by being the user. Our website is set to have a number of plugins and alterations in then next 2 weeks. How exciting!

Just added printed balloons gallery to our picasa page. It shows some of the balloon printing we have been working on in-house this summer. The gallery has been embedded into our website as a rolling slideshow. This is now displayed on the front page and our Main balloon printing page.

Type printed balloons into google and we are now listed at position number 6 on the first page. Amazing!

Google

2010-09-12T20:18:00.000+01:00

All my google buzz updates now appear on the front page of this website, as well as the blog updates. The blog updates tend to be longer pieces and analysis from throughout the day, while google buzz updates generally appear via the smart phone from balloon decoration displays and working while on different sites. All the current google Buzz updates have been sent with a photo and location coordinates, however it is a bit flaky at the moment. The phone thought I was in Argyll this morning when in fact I was in Birmingham. Also the built in GPS and camera will not function on a low battery.

Also to create the updates onto the website, I have to create a feed from my updates that gets fed into google feedburner that creates a buzz publicised output. Feedburner created me html code that has been added to my website so the publicised output can be displayed on this page. Complicated I know but I'm on a mission at the moment to use as many google products as possible. I kind of feel that it you use google & it's products then google will look after your websites. Speaking of which has anyone started to use "google instant" recently. This will really change search engine results. As a website that is listed well within googles search engines that researches it's keywords correctly, it will benefit us no end.

I'm off now to add more photos to our picasa webpage (another google product)

We get a list sent through every evening telling us how customers found our website when they purchase items from the online balloon shop. Yesterday a customer typed "ballons" into virginmedia's search engine. We appeared number two in the list.. and a personalised printing package was purchased. It's great when people buy something that they weren't intending to purchase through typing a mis-spelling of the word balloons into a search engine.

Here's the link... we're just under the adverts and the partydelights link...

How to get the right printed balloons for your marketing purposes.

2010-09-01T20:40:00.003+01:00

Using the right wording on your printed balloons to gain maximum impact.

Planning to promote or boost a new or existing brand and to get your message across to the area usually involves getting your logo or message printed onto balloons. It's a fact they getting a child to wave you logo around really works. Popular at large events and mass gatherings because people notice it. But like all marketing solutions, it's about getting the most from your money and with balloon promotional it's about getting the right print on your balloon. Here's a few tips to guide you an getting your balloon print (or known by it's professional name of “promotional balloons”) working and correct

You would have to put your company logo by means of which the viewers would understand that the exact purpose of the promotion of your company.

The actual balloon is available in many colours and sizes. It's worth colour matching your company colours with the balloon colour to create link associations. The next time potential customers see a newspaper advert with your company colour and logo on, they will probably shout out “I've heard of them before....” .

Prices of balloon printing vary. At it's cheapest, printing on one side of a latex balloon in one colour produces the smallest of attention. Spending slightly more can produce a logo and two sides of the balloon. Adding more ink colours to a balloon produces more attention, associations and a higher price.

So what do you put on the printed balloons? For more information on the balloon, the less impact each word has. The simpler the better.

For a new fish and chip shop that opened in the town we simply put the company logo in large letters on the balloon and the words fish and chips underneath the logo in small writing. No mention of where the shops was or the opening offers. The blue coloured balloons matched the colour of the shop and were seen all over the town as hundreds of the helium inflated latex balloons were handed out to children one Saturday morning. When people walked passed the shop, they noticed the same balloons around the shop, a large “opening today” banner and “special offer” A1 boards on the pavement. They commented something on the lines of “this is where it's all happening” or “I was wondering what was going on”. The balloons created a “something happening” feeling and linked it to a colour and logo. When the logo and colour was finally seen, the association of special offer and need to buy was created. The Queue for pie and chips was long all day.

The material of the balloon increases the cost considerably. Foil balloons grasp attention due to their reflectiveness, sparkle and class which creates a quality association with your brand. Worth considering for high end quality products. For more on the style of balloons available look at the Disney range of balloons and look how they associate the style of balloon to their market and product.

Balloon printing should be produced in accordance with your budget and marketing purpose while catching the attention of your target audience.

For printed balloons and promotional balloons, visit our website. For small run one ink colour runs consider printed balloons for cheap printing. We wish you every success with your promotions and brand marketing.

Printed Balloons... the design online program

2010-08-26T21:30:00.007+01:00

Just making changes (with a bit of help from some top computer programmers) to the "design your own balloon online" program. We had trials for the program earlier this year and took back users comments and suggestions from the test.

After analysing every online balloon design program available on the web, we decided to update our own to make it what we believe to the very best available. After a number of adaptions and updates I now have a running program. It's powerful, slick and simple. Here's how the program to design printed balloons online will work with the actual screen shots.

1. Select the type of balloon to have printed.

2. Choose the colour of the balloon.

3. Add the text with options to change the ink colour, move text & rotate text

4. Finally images can be added from our image library or logos uploaded.

After clicking the "submit design" button, the design is submitted to our design team who verify all is good with the designs before sending it to the print teams.

We are currently analysing all our orders from the last years to produce the top 20 fonts to include within the package. We'll then add 500 clipart pieces that we have ready for online designers to use.

Also, we are using a marketing company to promote this new service online through social marketing methods. The final phase will be make this software available for smartphones (iphone, android and blackberry users) to design printed balloons on their phones,

Seeing this preview, we know it's going to be the best online printed balloons design program there is.

customer balloon designer software

2010-08-14T19:47:00.002+01:00

I was asked a couple of days ago where our custom printed balloons designer software has gone - and who made it. The answers...

We've needed to update the software & after a few problems we've removed the application until it's resolved.

Who makes it ?

The original shopping cart software is free and is available from oscommerce.

http://www.oscommerce.com/

The add-on software dosen't costs too much (around £100 if I remember) & is available from pdesigner

Beaumanor estate Leicester

2010-08-14T15:01:00.001+01:00

Such a picturesque place for Weddings. The estate is open to the public on certain days and is owned by Leicester Council. Situated between Loughborough and Leicester, I guess this place sells itself when it comes to Weddings. We've finished the East Midlands route today. The other work for today in Warwickshire, West Midlands and Stafforfshire areas was actioned out to local decorators who are contacting us with their completion times and updates. Leicestershire had seen a big increase in our balloon work and we hope to cover this area again soon.

Balloon Bouquets for the floor

2010-08-14T12:54:00.001+01:00

Just working on the floor displays for the main entrance. These are without the wedding just married wrap. It got us wondering why we don't offer floor displays with a wedding wrap on to be purchased online... I may be adding an update to the online shop later! It maybe also worth adding a wedding balloon package to buy online that includes the wedding wraps on all balloons. Ideas Ideas....

Wedding Ballons

2010-08-14T12:19:00.001+01:00

Gold and Ivory balloons with a Just Married wrap around the balloon for this display in Leicester. The wrap is a clear balloon with the design printed on in white ink. This enables to put any colour balloon inside this clear balloon. The effect also gives a shiny finish to each display. With a double latex layer,the balloon should stay inflated longer while regaining it's original shape. Floor displays still to do.
