However, there were only a few balloonists who could afford to eschew public support. Now, balloonists required less initial capital and could launch their balloons without subscriptions. Launches required additional inducement to lure customers while at the same time balloonists developed increasingly new and novel balloons. Some balloonists assumed an even more exalted demeanor regarding their efforts, a posture that could backfire. Thus, balloonists sold other aspects of the launch process leading up to that moment. To help their audience identify themselves, balloonists turned almost immediately to newspaper advertisements which were also undergoing extensive changes in form. By the late 1780s, a few other changes were made to advertisements that balloonists hoped would help get people to invest in their launches. However, none of the early balloonists was a member of the major royal academies. Thus, balloonists needed to turn to alternative methods of funding their work. Through some trial and error, balloonists learned how to advertise this new product and entice new customers. In addition to the launch, balloonists also introduced various forms of entertainment that became part of the sales pitch. Early balloonists came from a variety of walks of life and were not especially well off as a group. As such, balloonists found their launches almost solely in the hands of the paying public rather than at the mercy of state or noble sponsors. For the most part, however, balloonists successfully and consistently used subscriptions and tickets to pay for the efforts. These examples are from corpora and from sources on the web.
