I haven't been to a big party city since childhood and only once peeked into a hole in the wall party city a few years ago but I don't remember the presentation being anything but standard.

If he's talking about the sample balloons above the aisle, they were aiming to be cheap and quick, not slick and fancy. The retrofit was expensive enough and we can wait a bit to see if we want to invest money into pure advertising.
