"Seriously committed to balloons"

We are "seriously committed to balloons" and in 1987 we settled on the name Balloonatiks (pronounced: ba lunatics) because our original choice, Globos Locos (balloon crazy), did not start with a "b" therefore we would not get good positioning in the yellow pages.

We were home-based for about 2 years. Our first Valentine's Day consisted of 9 orders and we were really shy about deliveries. Our second Valentine's day had us delivering until midnight with over 75 orders! So the next year, we decided to rent an office space month-to-month off Loop 410 and Broadway so we could get our Valentine orders delivered much faster.

We were at that location for 10 years, until one of our customers who owned a beauty salon suggested we sub-lease a space from her on Broadway at Sunset. After six years at that location, with few "walk-in" sales (probably due to 9-11 and the slow economy), we made the decision to go "internet-based" and do deliveries and decorating only.

Our customers lead very busy lives and did not have time to drop in. We developed our web-site to help our customers visualize the different types of designs we have created using balloons. Most of our business is "repeat" customers and we pride ourselves in that. We are here for a long-time relationship, not a one-time sale.

Many of our designs began with a customer question, "Can you make a pirate? ...a roller skate? ...a mug of beer?" So we'd take a photo* and now you can see them, too.

Along the years, customers have hired us to decorate for their events. We've been to many balloon conventions and seminars to make us faster and more creative than our competition. Cindy Seguin Huerta, CBA (certified balloon artist...Texas' first in 1993) can help you with any proposal. We are charter members of the Qualatex Balloon Network and charter members of BalloonPlanet.com which has the largest data base of balloon decor photos. Only members and their clients have access to the "Decorating Guide".

We have over 2,000 photos of our work on Facebook. Please browse some of our albums. Thanks for visiting our site!
It's just easier to upload photos to Facebook. Here is a list of links so you can find what you're looking for. If you become frustrated, email me and I will send you the links I would suggest: balloonatiks@msn.com
