A Teddington balloon shop, The Fun Factory,  is "bursting with excitement" to announce the launch of its brand new website and online shop. Wild Child World is now the official website for The Fun Factory.

 With the new website, you can order any balloon from The Fun Factory's extensive 2,500+ range online for collection or local delivery.

 The shop also offers personalised design and all variety of custom creations and soon, the website will be expanded to include all its other party supplies, and a nationwide delivery service. 

 The website also offers same day collection for orders placed before 3pm, and free local delivery for orders over £50 to selected postcodes. Delivery charges for orders under £50, and to wider postcodes in the Borough, are detailed on the website.

 To celebrate the launch, The Fun Factory is offering 50% off the first 20 orders placed on the website. The discount code can be found on the home page.

 Julia Lowbridge, co-owner of The Fun Factory and founder of Wild Child World, who designed and built the website, said: "The long-standing values behind what's made The Fun Factory a much loved local staple for the past 30 years are at the heart of the design and content of the website.

"We are very excited by this new chapter, and we are more committed than ever to providing the biggest and best balloon range in the Borough… and beyond. Our aim is to make finding, choosing and buying the perfect balloons as easy and convenient as possible, and, of course, to continue providing the best possible customer service".

 Through the website, customers now have visibility of every balloon in stock, without having to trawl through pegs and pegs of products.

The website has intentionally been designed to be super simple to navigate by the way all the different balloon ranges have been categorised and organised, and by the Search function.

 The option of Local Delivery or Collection gives the customer added convenience, allowing them to choose the date and one hour time slot they want to receive their balloons.

The Click & Collect service means you no longer need to wait around in the shop for balloons to be inflated, or to pay - you can just pop in at your selected time to pick up and go.

 There is lots of other handy content on the site, such as a balloon guide explaining all the different types of balloon and top tips for choosing and looking after your balloons, as well as beautiful creative inspiration in the Event Gallery.

You can also find out more about the partnership between The Fun Factory and Wild Child World, and how it all began.

 The site has already got several 5-star Google reviews, with one customer saying: "I ordered some balloons on Friday evening for delivery on Saturday afternoon and the balloons arrived exactly as requested. The website was a joy to navigate which makes a pleasant change from others. Can wholeheartedly recommend this company."

Another customer  added: "The new website was very quick and simple to navigate with very clear pricing and easy to pay. Fantastic! Compared to other balloon businesses I've used in the past this one offers by far the most!"

 The Fun Factory says it "is always willing to go the extra mile".

It added: " If you can't find what you're looking for on the site or want to enquire about delivery further afield or out of hours, just drop us a line and we will do our best to assist!"

The Fun Factory has also just launched a new WhatsApp service to make communication with customers quicker and more convenient.

 Website traffic to the previous Fun Factory website will be automatically redirected to the new Wild Child World website. The operation of The Fun Factory shop remains unchanged, and is still open 10am – 5pm, Monday – Saturday.

 The Fun Factory is located at 14 The Causeway, and can be contacted on 0208 977 1066 (shop), 07543 681499 (WhatsApp), [email protected] (email) or @thefunfactoryteddington (Instagram).
