    I need balloons for my business
    I am starting my own business, Unforgettable Gift Baskets, and need to find someone who supplies balloons (mylar, foil, latex, & etc.) and the display stand. Can someone please send me in the right direction?

    Hi! I cannot vouch that these are the cheapest places to purchase balloons and display stands, but they handle what you have requested.

    Balloonplace Wholesale Catalog

    POP Displays for Sale, Point of Purchase Display Racks & Stands, Retail Displays, Trade Show Displays, Display Fixtures including Banner Stands

    Good Luck in your new business! :)

    Still did not find display stand. Does anyone know if there is a company that you can lease from or something like that, maybe small fee membership?

    Can you describe the type of display stand you are looking for? I assumed it was a table top acrylic variety.

    Are you looking for a large metal floor display stand?

    FYI, as far as leasing, you might want to contact a local party rental store in your area. They may not have any for lease, but can direct you to a local outfit that might.

    What I am wanting is like when you go into a party supply store and they have the floor rack w/balloons. I am trying to start my own gift basket shop. Just something small for now, and I don't have a lot of money to work with. I figure someone would have some kind of deal.

    I know it is very hard financially when you are trying to start a business from scratch. And those display racks are not cheap.

    Why don't you go into a party supply store and ask if they have any old floor racks they would be willing to sell you for a reasonable price? Can't hurt to ask. And, if they say no, they may have some suggestions for you.

    The other thought I had is, sometimes people are selling off their inventory and supplies from either a store they have closed down due to retirement or some other reason. They will put those items for sale on Ebay. You might want to do a search on that.

    In the meantime, I will do a search and see if I can't find a website that is useful. What state are you in? We could try to do more of a localized search. Sometimes the banks will auction off all the items in a store that has defaulted on a loan.

    Okay, here are couple of more web sites that are worth a look.

    Affordable Trade Show Displays, Exhibits and Booth Graphics.

    Used Trade Show Display Exhibits & Booths - Buy, Sell, Rent on EXHIBITTRADER.COM

    The second link you should be able to post an ad to buy or lease someone else's display rack.

    Hope these help. Good luck!:)
