Graham,

How does it work with the sleeping arrangements, is it 2 per room or pay £60 and have a room for yourself??

Hi,
Forgive me if i may be wrong about this but I think a subject like this should be kept a little private as there may be issues of price fixing which is illegal , perhaps graham can clarify if this can be discussed in an open forum??


Graham??

Hi,

As artists we all spend many hours and time practicing the art of enetertainment and this is why is bothers me that it is de-valued by someone working for a big corporation for free, i would never embarrass the person, as i was told by the marketing manager who was doing the gig for free but i hope that by raising this topic it may encourage them to have more value in what they do.

I spend many hours practicing,learning and trying to develop my balloons and have no problem in charging people, if i was just starting out perhaps my fee would be less than it is now as i am sure that there may be other entretainers who charge more than me as they may be better or offer more but FREEEEE....................like i said bad news for people that need to earn a living!!

Hi,

Last night i was working my regular gig in a themed restaraunt in Bournemouth, whilst
i was making something for one of my tables, she went on to tell me that she worked for Bowlplex and that she was putting on a local event....................she then went on to tell me that the balloon entertainer she had hired was doing it for free........................(they only requested money for balloons and a few bowling vouchers)

I personally feel this is very damaging for the business and find it hard to understand why anyone would travel out of there local area and work for nothing!!

I know this will get a mixed opinion and i understand that sometimes we may offer certain things to potential big customers if it will lead to bigger things but surely this would be on a local level and where it makes commercial sense.................

Anyhow i think its a bad idea myself and believe that if you are a good artist you should be paid and not be afraid to ask for money!!

Anyhow i am starting to rant!!

Love to know what everyones feelings are..............

Hi Guys

An interesting topic............... as well as now being a balloon enetertainer i am also a major account manager for yellow pages and yell.com and would happily share honest unbiased info if u need any help or advice.(pm me)
I advertise in the book and yell.com and so does my wife, she is a childrens entertainer, she is is in the childrens entertainer heading and i advertise in entertainers.
The book does still work and so does yell.com but there are plenty of other routes to market dependant on who you are trying to attract to your business.

Feel free to pm me

Norm
