An advertising balloon is the cheapest way to make a building impossible to drive past.
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.
Banks and credit unions
Branches promote rates that nobody can read from a car. The balloon does not carry the detail; it carries the invitation to look, and the sign does the rest.
Car washes
A car wash sells to traffic already in motion, with about three seconds to register. Height buys those seconds back.
Pet stores and veterinary
Adoption days and clinic openings both need a crowd on a specific Saturday. That is a job for something temporary and impossible to miss.
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 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
Maryland Balloons work in Maryland
Most of our Maryland promotions run around Baltimore and Columbia, and along I-695 where the traffic already is. The Maryland State Fair in Timonium is the fixture worth planning around if you sell to the public.
Bay breezes keep afternoons moving. Spring and early autumn are the reliable windows for a weekend sale.
