Artisan Balloon Distribution
You Create. We Distribute. Let’s Grow Together.
You didn’t become a balloon artisan to manage spreadsheets, chase payments, or spend your afternoons at the post office. You became an artisan to bring imagination to life.
At Looniverse, we’ve built a specialised fulfillment ecosystem designed specifically for the balloon industry. We handle the heavy lifting of retail—sales, support, and logistics—so you can stay in your studio doing exactly what you love: manufacturing incredible art.
The Artisan-First Advantage:
Freedom to Manufacture
Your focus remains entirely on production. You manufacture your signature designs in your own space, at your own pace. Once they’re ready, you send the physical stock to us. We transform your craft into a scalable product that’s ready for the global market.
Hands-Off Fulfillment
From the moment your stock reaches our warehouse, we take over.
Pre-Sales & Future Sales: We use your stock to fill existing pre-orders or keep it ready for the next “buy” click.
Professional Logistics: We pack, label, and ship every order with the care your work deserves.
Seamless Financials
We act as your dedicated sales engine. We process all customer payments securely and deposit your earnings directly into your account. No more invoicing, no more “payment pending” stress—just a clear, reliable stream of income.
A Dedicated Support Shield
We manage 100% of the customer relationship. Whether it’s a tracking inquiry or a general question, our team handles it. Meanwhile, you get a direct line of contact to our team, ensuring you always have a partner to talk to about stock levels, trends, or new ideas.
Getting Started: 3 Steps to Your First Sale
Ready to clear your desk of paperwork and get back to the balloons? Here is how we get the ball rolling:
The Intro Call:
We’ll have a brief chat to understand your manufacturing style, the types of products you create, and your current capacity.
Sample Submission:
You will send one sample of each product you intend to sell. This allows our team to personally verify the quality, durability, and “wow factor” to ensure it’s a perfect fit for our customers.
Product Onboarding:
We’ll set up your artisan profile and help you list your first items. Even if you only have one unit ready to go, we can get it live.
Send Your Stock:
Pack up your manufactured items and ship them to our fulfillment center. As soon as they’re scanned in, they’re eligible for pre-sale or immediate purchase.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does this cost?
We keep our pricing simple and transparent. We add a fixed 20% margin to your landing price. However, we don’t just “set and forget”—we work closely with you to review market trends and ensure the final retail price is appropriate for the customer while remaining profitable for you.
We are always open to discussing how we can make the pricing work for you.
Is there a minimum inventory requirement?
Our smallest starting quantity is one. Whether you are testing a new prototype or launching a limited edition piece, we can work with you. While we thrive on helping you scale, we remain flexible to fit your production capacity.
How does the stock process work?
It’s simple: You manufacture the items, then ship them to us. This stock is then used to fulfill pre-sales (orders placed before the items were finished) or held as inventory for future sales.
When do I get paid?
Once a sale is finalised and processed through our store, the funds are deposited directly into your nominated account on a regular schedule.
Who handles customer issues?
We do. Our team is the first point of contact for every customer. If a highly technical question arises about your specific manufacturing process, we’ll reach out to you directly for the answer and relay it back.
Is there a minimum term?
No. We believe our value should be the reason you stay, not a contract. There is no minimum term to partner with us.
Will I be required to send samples?
Yes. To ensure every product meets our community standards, we require one sample of each product you intend to sell. This allows our team to verify quality and ensure the item is a perfect fit for our customer base.
If a customer requests a specific type of balloon, will you contact me?
Absolutely. If a customer has a custom request that fits your specific style or manufacturing capability, we’ll reach out to see if you’re interested in taking on the commission.
Can I request unsold stock to be sent back to me?
Yes. While our goal is to keep your inventory moving, you can request your stock back at any time. Please note that a shipping and handling cost will apply, which is payable before the items are dispatched back to you.
Who is responsible for refunds?
To provide a seamless experience for the buyer, Looniverse handles all refund processing and administration. If a refund is issued, the amount will be debited from your current payout or any future payouts. To maintain the integrity and reputation of our marketplace, our decision on refund eligibility is final.
I can't guarantee how much I can manufacture—is that okay?
Absolutely. We understand that as an artisan, your capacity may fluctuate. All we ask is that you maintain an open line of communication with our team. By discussing what is realistic for you to provide at any given time, we can manage our listings and pre-sales effectively to ensure we never “oversell” a product that you aren’t able to produce. We work with your schedule, not against it.
