Advertising Balloons Blimps

A tethered blimp puts your name where nothing is competing for attention: the sky directly above your lot.

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.

How it works

Tell us the site and the season and we will size the balloon for it. Wind matters more than most people expect, and a balloon that is too large for the location spends the weekend on the ground.

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.

Car dealerships

A dealership already has flags, banners and a lit sign, and customers have stopped seeing all three. A balloon above the lot changes the silhouette of the place, which is the one thing a regular commuter will actually notice. Most dealers run one over a weekend sale, then again at the end of the quarter.

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.

Museums and civic buildings

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

Franchise and multi-site rollouts

A chain opening six sites wants the same look at each. Balloons ship flat, so the identical promotion runs in six towns without six installations.

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.
