An advertising balloon is the cheapest way to make a building impossible to drive past.
How it works
We size the balloon to the site rather than the photograph. That usually means asking about the wind, the anchor points and what is overhead.
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.
Home builders and model homes
New developments have the opposite problem to a shop: the buyer cannot find the entrance. A balloon over the model home is visible from the main road long before the signage is, and it tells passing traffic that the site is open today rather than sometime next spring.
Farm and agricultural dealers
Equipment dealers sit on rural highways where the next building is a mile away. Visibility is measured in minutes of approach, not feet of frontage.
Closing and clearance sales
Clearance sales need urgency more than reach. A balloon reads as temporary in a way that a banner does not, which is exactly the message: this is happening now and it will not be here next month.
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.
Questions we get
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.
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.

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.
