Most popular RedBalloon experiences for Valentine’s Day and a mid-air proposal case study
Tuesday February 5, 2013: Spending a day on the water, leaping from a plane or learning to cook a killer soufflé are some of the top ways we choose to celebrate Valentine’s Day, according to online experience retailer redballoon.com.au.
After selling more than 1.7 million experiences in just over a decade, RedBalloon is a popular choice for the loved-up wanting to celebrate February 14 in a romantic or adventure-fuelled fashion.
Top Valentine’s Day experiences in 2012:
1.Sailing
2.Eating out and cooking classes
3.Massages, beauty and spa treatments
4.V8 and rally car experiences
5.Skydiving
RedBalloon customer Sheri Gould was one who opted for the skydiving option, proposing to her boyfriend Max after leaping from 14,000 feet on Valentine’s Day last year.
As part of a daredevil skydive proposal arranged by RedBalloon, Sheri surprised Max with a skydiving experience – little did he know Sheri was taking the biggest leap of her life.
“I was very nervous as we boarded the plane – I had to jump first so that I could be on the ground and on one knee ready to pop the question when Max landed,” Sheri said.
“There was a huge banner reading ‘Will you marry me?’ laid out on the ground as Max came into land, and a film crew capturing the moment for TV.
“It was a real logistical and emotional exercise. But when he said yes it was the happiest moment of my life.”
Sheri and Max plan to wed in Sydney this year.
