Wow, what a fantastic start to 2018! We have had some amazing new products, and a new live-streaming talk show launched already this year!
I first saw the then "top secret" Qualatex® Chrome Balloons™ a few month ago when I was visiting Pioneer® Balloon Company, Head Office. I can honestly say I was completely blown away by this new and amazing balloon. It is unlike any other latex balloon with its unique, solid-looking metallic finish. The colours are rich and radiant, and when inflated, they have a reflective surface. I have had the opportunity to "play" a little with them and find them extremely easy to work with. They are soft, easy to inflate, and look fabulous! They are currently available in 11" and 260Q sizes to order from your Qualatex distributor.
QCorner was also launched this month, with the first live show being aired on Wednesday, January 24th, 2018, at noon Central Standard Time — 6 p.m. U.K. time.
QCorner is a monthly live-streaming balloon talk show hosted on YouTube by world-renowned balloon artists — and wisecracking quip machines — Keith Stirman and Dominic Cassidy of All Things Fun in Peterlee, UK. In the span of 30 minutes to an hour, each episode of this “edutainment” (education + entertainment) program will feature a wide variety of topics, including:
QCorner will also feature special guests from around the globe, and for those who can’t wait between episodes of QCorner, Keith and Dom will release pre-recorded mini-episodes, QCorner Quickies.
