Giant Balloons For Sale

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

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.

Liquor and beverage retail

Holiday weekends account for a large share of the year. Visibility during those specific weekends is the whole promotional plan for many stores.

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.

Car washes

A car wash sells to traffic already in motion, with about three seconds to register. Height buys those seconds back.

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.

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.
