The past few years have been challenging for retailers who sell helium balloons due to the ongoing helium supply shortages. Zephyr Solutions, an Ohio based company found a way to keep the retail stores they service supplied at 100%.
The Zephyr Advantage
Many helium providers purchase from one or two companies. Zephyr buys helium from a big variety of both major gas companies and independent suppliers. With such a diverse group of supply options they can supplement and augment supply chains when and where it is needed.
“The only thing that Zephyr does is helium and inflation equipment to retailers. Since it is our primary focus we make sure our accounts have helium when they need it.” Kathi Leiden, President, Zephyr Solutions.
One Stop Shopping
In addition to being a leading helium supplier Zephyr also manufactures a complete line of helium inflation and safety equipment. Retailers appreciate one point of contact, centralized ordering and billing and the ease of doing business. Zephyr services stores in every major city and most small towns in the USA and they also export helium internationally.
Educational Videos and DVD’s
Zephyr cares about retailers’ helium investment and provides professionally filmed DVD’s to all its accounts. The educational tools are in both English and Spanish and share tips on helium conservation, equipment use and troubleshooting. They also have an extensive amount of product videos on their website www.AskZephyr.com and on YouTube.: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fd9o4vd49jI
Girls Rule
Zephyr Solutions is an all female owned company and is a member of WBENC. Their workforce is also comprised of 15 women. They do have a few guys there and the company dog is a boy just to balance things out! More and more retail chains are seeking to diversify their supplier base with minority owned businesses. Zephyr gets high marks from the retailers they service because their customer service and ability to consistently supply helium is second to none.
