Today we’d like to introduce you to Anabella Lopez.
Hi Anabella, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
I graduated with a psychology and education degree in 2017. When I finished school, I was a development intern at Make-A-Wish foundation and then I began teaching elementary school for three years up until this year. I grew up with my parents being business owners, and it really inspired me to do the same. In December, I had the opportunity to go to balloon training. I knew I loved the creating and the designing behind it. The joy you can bring to a client or to a company is amazing! Balloons become art when there is passion and intention behind it. In January, I sold my first balloon garland by going door to door to different businesses and I landed a Starbucks grand opening. From there, I have continued to put in the work and do everything it takes to build my business. Seven months later, I have a large portfolio and amazing well-known clients and companies that I have worked for! I can’t wait for what is ahead for The Balloon Co. DFW!
We all face challenges, but looking back, would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
It has not been a smooth road every install I do. I learn something new that I didn’t know before. I am constantly learning and training to learn new techniques. I have wanted to quit a couple of times, but I know that is part of the process. Not bringing enough balloons to an install, having to work two jobs when I was teaching and starting my business, and having to hustle to become known in the area.
Appreciate you sharing that. What should we know about The Balloon Co. DFW?
We are a balloon company that serves DFW and all surrounding areas. We do balloon garlands, balloon walls, and custom balloon designs. We do special events, corporate events, and everything in between. We specialize in making custom designs and being very creative with our balloons. We are different from the others because details are a huge part of what we do. We make sure our designs have a lot of details and they are extremely clean. We take the time to cut off every piece of extra balloon on foil balloons and leave a very clean look. We also don’t like to leave any wholes in the work we make sure all of the space we are covering is filled.
I am proud of my brand because we do very creative designs, we do things with love and passion for the end product, we pay close attention to details, and we have a clean look. I am proud that we grow a great relationship with our clients and they keep coming back to us because we have fair pricing, great customer service, and we make sure we do an excellent job every time.
What do you like and dislike about the city?
I love our city because there are so many opportunities for growth. The people here see the value in what we do, and they appreciate our work. It is the perfect place to be!
The thing I like least about our city is the drastic changes in the climate, especially when it comes to outdoor installs!
