Advertising Baloon

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.

Real estate open houses

An open house is advertised to the street, not the internet, on the day itself. A balloon marks the property from both ends of the road.

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.

Restaurants and drive-throughs

A restaurant on a commercial strip is one sign among thirty. Getting above the strip is the only real way to stand apart, short of repainting the building.

Hotels and motels

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

Furniture and mattress stores

Furniture retail lives on weekend footfall and competes with warehouses that all look alike from the road. Height separates one big beige building from the next one.

Questions we get

How long does a balloon last?

The polyurethane we weld is rated in years of outdoor use, not weeks. What wears first is usually the printing on a balloon flown in strong sun every day.

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 it costs

Every price below is current for 2026. Plain means the balloon on its own; printed means your artwork on it. There is no quote form standing between you and the number.

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.
