Roof Balloon

The balloon does one job: it makes people notice a place they have driven past a hundred times without seeing.

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.

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.

Outlet and warehouse retail

Outlet centres are destinations people drive to deliberately, then wander around. A balloon over one unit pulls the wandering crowd toward a specific door.

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.

Grand openings

A new business gets one week of genuine curiosity from the neighbourhood. A balloon spends that week telling everyone within sight that something has changed here. It is the cheapest element of an opening budget and usually the most photographed.

Garden centres and nurseries

The garden trade has a six-week spring peak and then goes quiet. Seasonal advertising should be as temporary as the season, which is what an inflatable is.

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.

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.
