Increase Restaurant Family Visits

Winking Derby offers strolling magic and balloon entertainment to local restaurants in the Tampa Bay area. We’ve worked with a number of restaurants including Chilli’s, Outback Steakhouse, Lucky Dill Deli and Woody’s Waterfront.

During a triple cross promotion, Lucky Dill was able to increase their daily gross by adding just one of our Balloon Artist entertainers on weekend mornings. Not only did Lucky Dill see an increase in the number of families visiting the restaurant during weekend brunch, but the saw an increase in repeat customers during the week as families rushed to see our artist and receive complimentary balloon hats!

Stunning Balloon Arches and Balloon Decor

Westfield Brandon Mall commissioned Winking Derby for their VIPink Weekend fundraiser for Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Winking Derby provided a number of themed balloon arches and balloon decorations for their fundraiser event. Our consultation came up with a fun yet classy way to display the balloon arches and get the attention of mall customers. Using high quality pink with white polka dots and black balloons, Winking Derby sculpted several nearly twenty foot long balloon arches and numerous balloon columns for the fundraiser. Afterwards it was reported that the Westfield Mall out performed any other comparable VIPink Weekend fundraiser in the country.

Mark Byrne Winking Derby Professional Entertainer
  • During the reception period, Mark was busy entertaining guests in the lobby area, providing humor, sleight of hand magic. After the banquet began, Mark was the emcee, between speeches and events, providing a lighthearted connection between speakers and our awards for performances. His demeanor was one of professionalism and decorum, with a few lighthearted stories but, never banal.
