Helium blimps run from ten to thirty feet. The smaller ones are easier to fly in wind; the larger ones are visible from much further away.
How it works
Order, artwork, proof, build, ship. Most promotions run two to three weeks from the first call to the balloon being in the air.
Car washes
A car wash sells to traffic already in motion, with about three seconds to register. Height buys those seconds back.
Jewellery and gift retail
Gift retail peaks in short, dated windows. Advertising that can be up for eleven days and then gone fits the trade exactly.
Tyre and auto service shops
Service shops are usually on a busy road with nowhere to put a sign that anyone can read at forty miles an hour. A balloon sits above the traffic and the parked cars, which is the only clear space available.
Self storage
Storage is bought at the moment of need by someone driving past. Being the facility they remember seeing is most of the sale.
Electronics and appliance retail
Big-box competition is decided in the car park. Whichever store looks like something is happening usually gets the first visit.
Questions we get
What happens in wind?
Every balloon has a wind rating and it should be respected. In consistently windy places a smaller balloon that stays up all weekend beats a larger one that does not.
Can you print our artwork?
Yes. Send vector artwork if you have it. We proof the layout on the balloon shape before anything is printed.
How quickly can it ship?
A plain balloon from stock ships quickly. A printed one runs on artwork approval, usually two to three weeks from order.
What we build
- Advertising blimps — Helium blimps from 10 to 30 feet, flown on a tether above the building. Visible from roads that cannot see your sign.
- Cold-air inflatables — Ground-standing shapes, characters and product replicas, run on a quiet blower. No helium.
- Round balloons — The classic sales-event balloon, 4.5 to 14 feet across. The cheapest way into outdoor advertising.
