Here's everything I would purchase for my balloon business if I was starting from square one!
LISTEN TO ME! This is a perfectly fine electric balloon pump, especially for beginners! I've been a balloon stylist professionally for four years and have three of these bad boys.
Growsun Electric Balloon Pump Dual Nozzle 600W
I use a hand pump for 260 balloons and foils! An electric pump can definitely inflate these kinds of balloons but for beginners a hand pump is fine! Plus it's ALWAYS good to have a second method of inflation

As you get better and before you master neck to neck, rubber bands are an amazing way to attach clusters! I use them to this day for various decor needs. I'm telling you, have them on hand
Alliance Advantage Rubber Bands, Size #32 (3" x 1/8"), Approx. 350 Bands per 8 oz Bag, Natural
A MUST HAVE FOR BALLOON INSTALLATIONS! Pro tip: don't peel the backing off, use gaffers or painters tape and the H method with a 260 for a flawless install. You can even use these to attach foils or inflatables to your designs!

Gaffers tape! For the H method
SWRT Gaffers Tape 2''x30yd, 11 Mil, Black
Wondering where to purchase shiny balloons and how those Pinterest and Instagram worthy balloon setups look perfectly shiny? Well the answer isn't shiny balloons, it's balloon spray! This is an affordable option to HiShine and beginner friendly

These mattress bags are perfect for transporting balloons! Size down for smaller builds

I would be lost without these! Great for ceiling installations, backdrop stands or for attaching to metal arches

Fishing line. As you embark on your balloon business journey, you'll end up using this one way or another. Love it or hate it, learn to use it!
Clear Fishing Line Wire 755 ft Invisible Nylon
Great for indoor, home or venue installations and is damage free! You can use Frog Tape like gaffers tape with the H method

THE ONLY STAND I USE FOR MY BALLOON COLUMNS. Now if I was just starting out, I would purchase these for "free standing" garlands or for classic balloon decor. NOTE: you must cut the wire out of the connecting rods. It takes a few seconds
