00:00:08,168 --> 00:00:10,084
Hello.

2
00:00:10,084 --> 00:00:12,779
Balloon twisting art is great hobby.

3
00:00:12,779 --> 00:00:14,659
Great skills to have.

4
00:00:14,659 --> 00:00:16,144
And it's not a secret

5
00:00:16,144 --> 00:00:17,920
that many balloon twisters make money

6
00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:21,832
by doing balloons.

7
00:00:21,832 --> 00:00:23,286
And when we talk about business,

8
00:00:23,286 --> 00:00:24,698
any kind of business,

9
00:00:24,698 --> 00:00:26,827
the main thing about it is

10
00:00:26,827 --> 00:00:28,588
to get customers.

11
00:00:28,588 --> 00:00:31,583
So how do balloon twisters get customers?

12
00:00:31,583 --> 00:00:33,739
Well, there are different ways.

13
00:00:33,739 --> 00:00:36,972
Today I want to share with you

14
00:00:36,972 --> 00:00:39,802
a certain way to get customers who,

15
00:00:39,802 --> 00:00:42,316
specifically customers who

16
00:00:42,316 --> 00:00:46,742
don't really want balloons to begin with.

17
00:00:46,742 --> 00:00:48,167
It is not a secret,

18
00:00:48,167 --> 00:00:52,145
but people do like free stuff.

19
00:00:52,145 --> 00:00:57,576
So, balloon twister can actually give them

20
00:00:57,576 --> 00:00:58,989
what they want.

21
00:00:58,989 --> 00:01:01,355
Free stuff.

22
00:01:01,355 --> 00:01:05,037
Free stuff made out of balloons of cause.

23
00:01:05,037 --> 00:01:07,004
Well, that's what I prefer to do.

24
00:01:07,004 --> 00:01:09,340
So, let's see how it works.

25
00:01:09,340 --> 00:01:12,013
So, next time when you work on street,

26
00:01:12,013 --> 00:01:14,526
and got bored-there is no currently any customers

27
00:01:14,526 --> 00:01:16,001
you serving.

28
00:01:16,001 --> 00:01:19,339
You may see a family with kids

29
00:01:19,339 --> 00:01:20,847
going your way.

30
00:01:20,847 --> 00:01:24,948
But you recognized a look on face of adults.

31
00:01:24,948 --> 00:01:27,244
They have no intention to buy any balloons.

32
00:01:27,244 --> 00:01:30,086
That's exactly time when you may try

33
00:01:30,086 --> 00:01:33,227
to get them somehow with free stuff.

34
00:01:33,227 --> 00:01:35,017
And you start it very simple.

35
00:01:35,017 --> 00:01:38,730
"Free popsicles to any first customer!"

36
00:01:38,730 --> 00:01:40,731
"Free popsicle to first customer. Free popsicles.

37
00:01:40,731 --> 00:01:45,190
Yes we have free popsicles of any flavor you like!"

38
00:01:45,190 --> 00:01:46,744
What is your favourite flavor?

39
00:01:46,744 --> 00:01:48,021
Would you like...

40
00:01:48,021 --> 00:01:52,107
I have cranberry, blueberry, banana, orange

41
00:01:52,107 --> 00:01:53,810
Banana? You like banana?

42
00:01:53,810 --> 00:01:55,647
Is banana this color?

43
00:01:55,647 --> 00:01:57,482
Oh...good, good.

44
00:01:57,482 --> 00:02:01,208
And what kind of balloon animals do you like?

45
00:02:01,208 --> 00:02:03,290
Do you like cats, dogs,

46
00:02:03,290 --> 00:02:06,103
or may be some super hero you like?

47
00:02:06,103 --> 00:02:07,770
Yeh, you like Spiderman.

48
00:02:07,770 --> 00:02:11,159
I know. Spiderman is good!

49
00:02:11,159 --> 00:02:12,558
Did you watch the movie.

50
00:02:12,558 --> 00:02:14,832
Spiderman movies.

51
00:02:14,832 --> 00:02:17,021
And the 1st part and the 2nd?

52
00:02:17,021 --> 00:02:20,129
I like the second movie.

53
00:02:20,129 --> 00:02:22,769
It's really good. Yeah.

54
00:02:22,769 --> 00:02:25,097
OK.

55
00:02:25,097 --> 00:02:28,104
Here is you popsicle.

56
00:02:28,104 --> 00:02:29,922
Banana flavour popsicle.

57
00:02:29,922 --> 00:02:31,879
And it goes to the adult.

58
00:02:31,879 --> 00:02:33,434
Yeah, here you are.

59
00:02:33,434 --> 00:02:35,270
And for you little one...

60
00:02:35,270 --> 00:02:36,769
you can have something different

61
00:02:36,769 --> 00:02:39,437
if you mom lets you.

62
00:02:39,437 --> 00:02:41,656
And now the most important part.

63
00:02:41,656 --> 00:02:44,285
Probably most important part.

64
00:02:44,285 --> 00:02:48,193
The free popsicle you give to adult.

65
00:02:48,193 --> 00:02:49,418
Not to the child!

66
00:02:49,418 --> 00:02:51,040
To the adult.

67
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:52,867
Why it's important?

68
00:02:52,867 --> 00:02:56,789
Be course it's encourage the adult to buy

69
00:02:56,789 --> 00:03:01,360
balloon for the child.

70
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:05,118
As you may remember when I was making

71
00:03:05,118 --> 00:03:09,468
free popsicle, I was talking to the child.

72
00:03:09,468 --> 00:03:12,568
Trying to find out what kind of cartoon characters,

73
00:03:12,568 --> 00:03:15,260
balloon animals they like.

74
00:03:15,260 --> 00:03:17,105
This way I know what they want.

75
00:03:17,105 --> 00:03:21,621
And the parents as well got the idea

76
00:03:21,621 --> 00:03:24,150
what the have to buy

77
00:03:24,150 --> 00:03:27,789
to get away from you quickly.

78
00:03:27,789 --> 00:03:29,272
So, again.

79
00:03:29,272 --> 00:03:35,192
You handle the free popsicle to adult.

80
00:03:35,192 --> 00:03:37,830
You give them along with free popsicle

81
00:03:37,830 --> 00:03:40,572
you business card or flier,

82
00:03:40,572 --> 00:03:44,522
whatever you have with your contact information.

83
00:03:44,522 --> 00:03:47,322
This way you get chance they probably

84
00:03:47,322 --> 00:03:50,278
that they may call you for birthday party

85
00:03:50,278 --> 00:03:54,049
or whatever other great events.

86
00:03:54,049 --> 00:03:56,339
You get a chance to sell something

87
00:03:56,339 --> 00:03:59,395
for their children as well.

88
00:03:59,395 --> 00:04:03,342
And another thing you got is, the customers

89
00:04:03,342 --> 00:04:05,971
standing in front of you.

90
00:04:05,971 --> 00:04:07,400
It is always good.

91
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:10,765
It attracts other people to your stand.

92
00:04:10,765 --> 00:04:12,630
Best advertisment.

93
00:04:12,630 --> 00:04:15,277
And you keep yourself busy.

94
00:04:15,277 --> 00:04:19,036
So, as you may see there are many good points

95
00:04:19,036 --> 00:04:23,383
to give one or two minutes of your time

96
00:04:23,383 --> 00:04:25,850
to give free stuff.

97
00:04:25,850 --> 00:04:31,185
A...in past we use tulip twist to make

98
00:04:31,185 --> 00:04:32,491
different things.

99
00:04:32,491 --> 00:04:34,600
Today I use it again.

100
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:38,270
Tulip twist...as you may see

101
00:04:38,270 --> 00:04:43,204
to make this popsicle.

102
00:04:43,204 --> 00:04:45,933
You can check website

103
00:04:45,933 --> 00:04:47,480
fewdoit.com

104
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:50,096
to find links how to make

105
00:04:50,096 --> 00:04:52,381
different things out of balloons

106
00:04:52,381 --> 00:04:54,707
using tulip twist.

107
00:04:54,707 --> 00:04:57,851
We've been doing pig snouts,

108
00:04:57,851 --> 00:05:00,049
and candles,

109
00:05:00,049 --> 00:05:02,557
some little fruits

110
00:05:02,557 --> 00:05:06,661
like apples, cherries and so on.

111
00:05:06,661 --> 00:05:08,262
Pacifiers.

112
00:05:08,262 --> 00:05:11,734
Just look at website fewdoit.com

113
00:05:11,734 --> 00:05:14,107
you will see the links.

114
00:05:14,107 --> 00:05:18,280
In all previously published instructions

115
00:05:18,280 --> 00:05:23,402
I made balloon sculpture with video camera

116
00:05:23,402 --> 00:05:28,152
taking picture from behind above my shoulder.

117
00:05:28,152 --> 00:05:32,095
Today I am working in front of camera.

118
00:05:32,095 --> 00:05:33,891
It's a bit different view.

119
00:05:33,891 --> 00:05:35,843
I think it is good chance for you

120
00:05:35,843 --> 00:05:39,349
to take a look how a...same thing,

121
00:05:39,349 --> 00:05:40,898
tulip twist is done.

122
00:05:40,898 --> 00:05:43,099
So, inflate balloon leaving a long tail

123
00:05:43,099 --> 00:05:47,679
and just...we need just about 5 inch long bubble.

124
00:05:47,679 --> 00:05:49,143
One bubble.

125
00:05:49,143 --> 00:05:53,679
There are different ways to make tulip twist.

126
00:05:53,679 --> 00:06:00,181
We can use the...the nozzle of the balloon.

127
00:06:00,181 --> 00:06:02,837
Or we can make a small

128
00:06:02,837 --> 00:06:08,979
about thumb nail size bubble.

129
00:06:08,979 --> 00:06:10,624
Like this.

130
00:06:10,624 --> 00:06:13,537
I found it is easier to work with bubble

131
00:06:13,537 --> 00:06:15,516
than just with the nozzle.

132
00:06:15,516 --> 00:06:21,806
So, twist thumb size nail, thumb size nail bubble.

133
00:06:21,806 --> 00:06:27,143
Force it inside of the balloon.

134
00:06:27,143 --> 00:06:27,850
Little.

135
00:06:27,850 --> 00:06:32,386
Grab it with your fingers like that.

136
00:06:32,386 --> 00:06:35,093
Alright.

137
00:06:35,093 --> 00:06:36,722
Again.

138
00:06:36,722 --> 00:06:41,677
We have to push the bubble inside of the balloon

139
00:06:41,677 --> 00:06:44,292
up to this end.

140
00:06:44,292 --> 00:06:53,927
[balloon squeaking]

141
00:06:53,927 --> 00:06:58,554
And then pull out your finger

142
00:06:58,554 --> 00:07:00,152
out of the balloon.

143
00:07:00,152 --> 00:07:01,481
Beautiful.

144
00:07:01,481 --> 00:07:03,011
[balloon squeaking]

145
00:07:03,011 --> 00:07:06,359
That's it.

146
00:07:06,359 --> 00:07:12,787
Now we can lock the bubble.

147
00:07:12,787 --> 00:07:15,814
And push it back inside of the balloon.

148
00:07:15,814 --> 00:07:30,354
[balloon squeaking]

149
00:07:30,354 --> 00:07:31,540
That's it.

150
00:07:31,540 --> 00:07:33,515
That is how it's done.

151
00:07:33,515 --> 00:07:38,685
Different flavor.

152
00:07:38,685 --> 00:07:43,728
Ok.

153
00:07:43,728 --> 00:07:48,888
There is another thing about this sculpture.

154
00:07:48,888 --> 00:07:51,424
Popsicles sounds good.

155
00:07:51,424 --> 00:07:55,943
But at Summer we can always fill up same balloon

156
00:07:55,943 --> 00:07:58,395
with water, not with air...

157
00:07:58,395 --> 00:08:00,604
with water.

158
00:08:00,604 --> 00:08:02,512
And then make the popsicles.

159
00:08:02,512 --> 00:08:04,561
Well, it won't be the popsicle.

160
00:08:04,561 --> 00:08:09,624
It will be the water filled hand grenade.

161
00:08:09,624 --> 00:08:12,813
If you prefer water fights.

162
00:08:12,813 --> 00:08:14,140
OK.

163
00:08:14,140 --> 00:08:16,129
It should be enough for today.

164
00:08:16,129 --> 00:08:19,093
Have fun and happy twisting :)
