Balloon decoration. I used to work as an event manager for events company they had a job opening stores for one of the leading supermarkets. They'd subcontract the balloon dressing which constituted a huge body of work over a number of years. I'd suggest contacting event companies and wedding organisers in your area and bidding for work in the same way the florists did in an earlier episode.
