House Parti Are Still Going Strong In 2013 Despite Helium Gas Shortage

During 2012 the entire world experienced a helium gas shortage, causing many businesses to either overcharge for their helium products, or stop selling them altogether to avoid making a loss however, House Parti is still going strong in 2013.

Leicester (I-Newswire) January 9, 2013 - 2012 saw a helium gas shortage that affected the entire world. This shortage was caused by two major natural gas mining plants in the US having maintenance done on their machinery, as most helium is generated as a by-product of mining natural gas. 75% of the world’s helium gas comes from the US, meaning when plants like these don’t produce helium for any period of time, the effects are felt worldwide.

As a result of the shortage in helium gas, retailers offering customers helium products had to put up the prices of their goods to maintain profit margins. For certain retailers, selling helium products such as filled balloons and tanks wasn’t worth doing, as the profit available was much too low.

Before Christmas last year, House Parti reported they had secured a new supplier of helium gas, meaning they could continue to supply their helium products to retailers at cheap prices. A Customer Service Representative for House Parti commented, “having a new helium gas supplier before New Year’s Eve helped us to keep costs down for retailers at a time when helium balloons were in high demand. As we begin 2013, the helium gas shortage is set to continue, but with our new supplier we’ll be able to provide cheap helium products at a time of year when helium products will be harder for a retailer to sell profitably.”

Retailers using House Parti as their wholesaler of helium gas will benefit from lower costs to them, meaning they can in turn provide cheap helium balloons and gas tanks to end consumers. Businesses that have ceased to provide helium products can once again offer them in their shops by using House Parti as a party wholesaler.

House Parti is a party product wholesaler, offering everything to retailers from helium gas and balloons to decorative table wear. They have a wide range of goods that are perfect for anyone to buy from their local party retailer.
