I have a lot of calls with questions and wish to address the ones asked most often.
1. Travel Fee? I know everyone is wanting to save money and I have sought to keep my party plans as reasonable as possible. It is a necessary that I add travel expense. Please remember that if you live further than 20 miles I do charge a small fee and that is round trip. I use a big SUV jam packed with items for parties.
2. 2.50 for each additional guest? Please know that when you call and request a certain plan I have a formula that I use for each plan that is carefully put together to ensure I can do balloons, Cheek art and other skills as well as small treats requested in the time frame you hired me for. If however you state 20 guest and 30 show up I must extend my time and give out extra gifts as well as cost of balloon and face art time and materials which I have calculated at 2.50. If I am hired for 1.5 hr event and have 30 children that want face art instead of 20 I will run way over and either be late for another event planned or hurt a child by not being able to do their balloons or face art. Face art is about 12-15 faces per hour and 30 in cheek art.
3. Many families call with special request such as "I cannot pay full amount can you offer a party at a lower price? I do a lot of free & missions volunteer work for many charities across Ga. I must be fair to the families that pay regular amount and remember I am doing this as a business and with my big heart I would wish to give every one a discount but I would soon go broke.
4. A lot of families call and want me to do a one hour show with Magic, Balloon twist, face art, games etc. This is not possible that is why I broke down the plans to include either 2 events or 3-4 events to insure I can give you the party you want and not run out of time.
I hope this helps with your understanding of pricing and travel. I love all you folks and thank you for making Clown-around Town you family entertainer.
