An advertising balloon is the cheapest way to make a building impossible to drive past.
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
Connecticut Balloons work in Connecticut
Most of our Connecticut promotions run around Hartford and New Haven, and along I-91 where the traffic already is. The Durham Fair is the fixture worth planning around if you sell to the public.
The flying season is roughly April to October. Nor’easters and winter wind off Long Island Sound close the rest of the year.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
