REDBALLOON PROVIDING 24 CARAT SERVICE

Announcement posted by Porter Novelli 03 Aug 2016

RedBalloon offers new personalised proposal service
27 July, Sydney - RedBalloon, Australia’s leading online experience and ‘things to do’ destination, are helping Aussies take romance to the next level with a personalised proposal service!
 
For many, a proposal is a time fraught with uncertainty. Is it the right time? Did I choose the right ring? Have I made the occasion special enough? And, most importantly, will they say yes?
 
The recently launched service hopes to take some of the stress out of popping the question by taking care of the legwork. From a picnic proposal among the vines to a skydive serenade - RedBalloon have got it covered and are here to help.
 
Latest statistics from the ABS show an incredible 363,399 marriages took place in Australia between 2012 and 2014. That’s a lot of proposals, says Nick Baker, CEO at RedBalloon.
 
“We had many customers contacting us to help them choose the perfect proposal experience, which helped us identify a real need for a product range to assist men and women with one of life’s most special occasions. At RedBalloon we’re all about creating moments, so it was a perfect fit.”
 
“The aim of the service is to make life easier for those who may be time poor, or maybe just a little lost, when it comes to arranging such an event. We will help customers plan, design and implement a truly one-of-a-kind proposal experience. The only thing we can’t guarantee is that he or she will say yes!” says Mr Baker.
 
With a number of successful proposals already under their belt, the service is proving a hit with loved up couples. Happy customer David wrote a review of the aquarium private dining and proposal experience, sharing “Will you marry me? She said yes! The experience was magical and she loved it!”
 
The service is currently available in NSW, Queensland and Victoria, with a highly curated range of unique and personalised experiences - from intimate proposals on private beaches and hot air balloon rides, to fireworks and treasure hunts!
 
The service will roll out nationally by the end of 2016.

  • Private Helicopter Flight with Chocolaterie Tour – VIC

This memorable proposal could not get any sweeter.
