Balloon Custom

A plain balloon draws the eye. A printed one tells people whose business it is. The difference in price is smaller than most people expect.

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.

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.

Trade shows and expos

Indoor stands compete at eye level, where everyone is equal. An inflatable above the stand is visible from the door of the hall.

Grocery and convenience

Grocery competes on habit, and habits break when something looks different. A balloon over the entrance for a fortnight is enough to make a regular driver reconsider the turn they usually take.

Museums and civic buildings

Civic buildings often cannot alter their frontage. A tethered balloon advertises an exhibition without touching the architecture.

Hotels and motels

Roadside lodging is a distance decision made while tired. Anything that makes the property legible earlier in the approach converts.

Questions we get

Can we reuse it next year?

That is the normal pattern. Stored dry and out of the sun, a balloon comes out for the same sale for several years running.

How long does a balloon last?

The polyurethane we weld is rated in years of outdoor use, not weeks. What wears first is usually the printing on a balloon flown in strong sun every day.

Do I need a permit?

It depends entirely on the city and how high you fly. Most sites under fifty feet on private property are straightforward, but ring your local planning office first.

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.
