4.6 star rating We know the trust consumers place in ratings and reviews is tied directly to authenticity. That’s why we use Bazaarvoice. We believe that reviews should represent the genuine, unbiased, and transparent opinion about the author’s experience with a product or service. Reviews are not altered in any way by anyone other than the original author — including corrections for spelling or grammar. Reviews are not filtered, edited, or deleted simply because they are negative or are lower-rated.

Making 2025 the Year of Local Impact

Your Business Decisions Matter

As we step into 2025, business leaders across Australia are asking themselves: “What can we do differently this year?” Perhaps the most impactful change lies not in grand transformations, but in thoughtful choices about where we direct our corporate spending.

The Power of Small Business in Australia

Did you know that Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) employ more than 7.5 million Australians? That’s more than 60% of our workforce. These businesses aren’t just participants in our economy – they’re the backbone of our communities, driving innovation, creating jobs, and keeping economic value within our local regions.

The Ripple Effect of Your Corporate Gifting

When you choose a RedBalloon experience voucher for corporate gifting, you’re not just sending a memorable gift. You’re creating a cascade of positive impacts:

Your recipient enjoys an unforgettable experience with one of our 1,500+ small business partners
Local experience providers receive direct customers
Communities benefit from increased local spending and tourism
Australian jobs are supported and created
Regional economies are strengthened
Regular payment cycles

Corporate Responsibility Made Simple

Major corporations are increasingly focusing on sustainability and social responsibility goals. Our partnership with Welcome to Country illustrates how RedBalloon acts as a bridge between big business and small local providers. Through this initiative, corporations can support Indigenous-owned businesses while providing authentic cultural experiences to their stakeholders.

Real Impact, Real Numbers

Every RedBalloon voucher purchased creates tangible benefits:

Average experience spend extends beyond the voucher value through additional local purchases
70% of experience participants travel outside their usual area, supporting businesses outside their usual realm
Local experience providers typically employ 5-15 people in their communities
More than 90% of RedBalloon’s experience providers are Australian-owned small businesses

Making Different Choices in 2025

As business leaders, we have the power to influence positive change through our procurement decisions. Here’s how you can make a difference:

Consider the wider impact of your corporate gifting choices
Look for opportunities to support local businesses in your supply chain
Think about how your business spending can align with your sustainability goals
Partner with platforms like RedBalloon that connect you directly to small business providers

Your Decision, Their Future

The question isn’t just about what we’ll do differently in 2025 – it’s about understanding the impact of our choices. When you choose RedBalloon for your corporate gifting, reward recognition or team buidling, you’re not just giving a gift; you’re investing in Australian communities, supporting local jobs, and contributing to a more sustainable business ecosystem.

Make 2025 the year your business gifting creates lasting positive impact across Australian communities. After all, strong local businesses mean strong local communities – and that’s something we can all support.
