Helium blimps run from ten to thirty feet. The smaller ones are easier to fly in wind; the larger ones are visible from much further away.
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.
Local
Buy Blimps California work in California
Most of our California promotions run around Los Angeles and San Diego, and along I-5 where the traffic already is. The California State Fair in Sacramento is the fixture worth planning around if you sell to the public.
Coastal mornings can hold low cloud until midday, and the inland valleys run hot and still, which is good flying weather. Santa Ana winds are the exception.
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.
Churches and community events
Community events rely on people who were not planning to come. Something visible from the road converts passing traffic better than a flyer posted a week earlier.
Attractions and theme parks
Attractions advertise arrival as much as anything else. A large inflatable at the entrance is the photograph people take before they have bought a ticket.
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.
Questions we get
Can we reuse it next year?
That is the normal pattern. Stored dry and out of the sun, a balloon comes out for the same sale for several years running.
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.
