ADVENTURES
ALOFT
|
|
| The
year 2003 marks ADVENTURES ALOFT 20th anniversary. With the
addition of party balloons, flowers, and gift baskets they felt
that a name change was inorder to better describe in one word
what they have grown into - Celebrations!. Kirby and Renee Kopp,
co-owners say they have allowed a natural evolution to occur
within their business. |
| In 1982,
Kirby became involved in ballooning and then opened an addvertizing
inflatible balloon business the next year. He then met Renee
and they married in 1988 and shortly thereafter she opened Balloon
Central to create unique balloon decorations for weddings and
other events. In 1995 she became Central Pennsylvania's first
Certified Balloon Artist - raising the standard in balloon decorating
in the area. As they started their family together, they soon
grew out of their home based business, and in the summer of
1995 they opened their current storefront in Akron. Then in
1997 they added fresh flowers to their sales mix, where now
they have grown into full-service florist status in their community.
With the focus heading toward weddings they added Disc Jockey
and tuxedo rental to their line up. |
| They
are located on Rt. 322 in Ephrata and their store is literally
filled with some of the most creative gifts for quite possibly
any occasion. Upon entering this unique gift shop customers
will find fresh and silk flowers, novelty balloons, gourmet
food and gift baskets, hot air balloon collectibles, This couple,
both being hot air balloon pilots, also offer balloon rides
as well, to locals and tourists taking them on scenic flights
over Lancaster County. "We have gift baskets, fresh flowers,
silk flowers, |
| Customer
service is key to their business. They offer a great in-house
credit program so customers can call in and have a last minute
gift delivered the same day without having to leave their office
or home. They also boast of their "Wish List" for
the customers who want to buy one of everything! "We have
a simple form our customers - only women so far have filled
one out - of everything they would like for the next holiday/birthday/anniversary,
to include the scents of candles they would like or their favorite
flower. Then we keep it on file and the customer hands out our
business cards to their spouse, parents, in-laws and children
and let them know they have a Wish List with us. When their
relatives come in to shop for our customer, we know exactly
what their loved one wants and we help them select the PERFECT
gift of their choice. What a Celebration!" |
