Big Balloons

Going bigger changes who sees you: not the people already in the car park, but the traffic passing the exit.

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.

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.

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.

Hotels and motels

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

Hospitals and health fairs

Health fairs need to pull people who had no plan to attend. Visibility from the road is what turns a scheduled event into a busy one.

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.

Questions we get

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.

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.

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.
