Advertising Balls

A balloon over the lot outsells a banner on the fence, for the same reason a billboard beats a flyer.

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.

Stadiums and sporting events

Event advertising has to be readable in aerial and crowd photography, not only from the ground. A tethered balloon is one of the few formats that appears in both.

Fuel stations and truck stops

Highway sites are chosen at speed and from distance. A balloon adds a second landmark above the price sign, which is often what is actually seen first.

Seasonal lots and pop-ups

Pumpkin patches, tree lots and firework stands exist for weeks and advertise to passing cars only. Nothing else in outdoor advertising fits that shape as well.

Fairs and festivals

Fairgrounds are crowded and flat, so wayfinding is genuinely hard. Sponsors and stallholders use a balloon as a meeting point as much as an advertisement.

Campaigns and public information

Campaign visibility is legally temporary and practically urgent. Inflatables suit both conditions better than anything that needs planning permission.

Questions we get

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.

Cold-air or helium?

Helium flies above the building; cold-air stands on the ground and needs a power point. Helium wins on distance, cold-air wins on cost and simplicity.

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.

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.
