Adding Custom Balloons

I’m asked fairly regularly if custom balloons can be added to the race. In the past I’ve added Kites, Pride and NHS Balloons.

I’ve paid for these alterations to help the race grow but this is no longer viable going forward.

My developers charge £250 per hour to work on the site and usually it’s a minimum of 2 hours. When they add new designs they make the graphic image in various sizes and alter the database and lists etc.

For example, these 6 Snails cost me £750+vat to add.

So if you’re thinking of adding a dog, cat or logo I’d estimate the cost to be between £250 for 1 balloon & maybe £500 for 3 of the same design but in different colours.
