You do not need a new sign for six weeks of the year. You need something big, temporary and impossible to drive past.
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.
Grand openings
A new business gets one week of genuine curiosity from the neighbourhood. A balloon spends that week telling everyone within sight that something has changed here. It is the cheapest element of an opening budget and usually the most photographed.
Liquor and beverage retail
Holiday weekends account for a large share of the year. Visibility during those specific weekends is the whole promotional plan for many stores.
Outlet and warehouse retail
Outlet centres are destinations people drive to deliberately, then wander around. A balloon over one unit pulls the wandering crowd toward a specific door.
Churches and community events
Community events rely on people who were not planning to come. Something visible from the road converts passing traffic better than a flyer posted a week earlier.
RV and boat dealers
RV lots are large, flat and set back from the highway, which makes them hard to judge at speed. A thirty-foot balloon gives the site a scale marker drivers can see from the exit ramp.
Questions we get
How much helium does it take?
A ten-foot blimp takes about 105 cubic feet. A twenty-five-foot one takes about 440. Helium is bought locally rather than shipped with the balloon.
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.
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.
